IVE's Jang Won Young faced criticism for her choice of smartphone after attending a Samsung event.

The 'Unpacked' event by Samsung took place on July 26 in South Korea, where Jang Won Young was present as a notable celebrity in the front row.

During the event, she appeared alongside American actress Sydney Sweeney, showcasing Samsung's new ZFlip5 phone while taking a selfie together.

Later, Jang Won Young shared the selfie on her Instagram, but both netizens and media outlets noticed a black heart emoji in the post, which is exclusive to iPhones.

This sparked criticism towards the star, with some questioning her allegiance to Samsung, while others came to her defense, arguing that she wasn't an official Samsung model.

However, it's worth noting that she has been part of Samsung campaigns before as an endorsement model for SK Telecom.

In a separate incident, Jang Won Young also received backlash for her reaction to a young child approaching her.

BTS member Jin has touched hearts once again with his kind gesture to support those affected by wildfires.

On April 3, Jin visited Gilan Middle School in Gilan-myeon, Andong, to serve meals to disaster victims and firefighters. His actions brought much-needed comfort to the people in the area.

Gilan Middle School is where celebrity chef Baek Jong Won, a close friend of Jin, has been running a free meal service through his company, The Born Korea.

Since March 28, The Born Korea has been providing meals for the wildfire victims, preparing 300 to 700 servings each time to ensure that the affected people and firefighters receive warm food.

Jin quietly made his way to Andong, a region that suffered extensive damage from the wildfire, to lend a helping hand.

Big Hit Music, Jin’s agency, shared, “Jin wanted to provide even a small amount of help to those affected by the wildfires, which is why he decided to participate in this volunteer activity.”

This heartwarming gesture follows BTS's large donations for wildfire recovery efforts. Jungkook donated a whopping 1 billion KRW, while V gave 200 million KRW, and RM, J-Hope, and Suga each contributed 100 million KRW to aid in the recovery.
