																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today announced a global partnership with BTS WORLD TOUR ‘ARIRANG’, unveiling a new concert experience powered by Galaxy mobile technology that brings artists and the audience closer together.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>BTS and ARMY have built a cultural movement that brings everyone together to celebrate self-expression and connection through music. This resulted in a global impact that fosters authentic shared experiences — values that resonate deeply with Samsung’s Galaxy brand philosophy. By harnessing the power of music and technology, Samsung and the BTS WORLD TOUR ‘ARIRANG’ are empowering people to capture special moments and share them with the world.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“Samsung believes that technology enriches everyday experiences,” said Stephanie Choi, EVP and Head of the Mobile Marketing Center, Mobile eXperience (MX) Business at Samsung Electronics<strong>. </strong>“Through this collaboration, Galaxy will serve as a bridge connecting artists and the audience, enabling people to experience concert moments more meaningfully and preserve and share those memories for longer.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Building on Galaxy’s vision of meaningful, connected experiences, Samsung is reimagining the traditional concert viewing experience by enabling the audience to emotionally engage with artists and their performances in more immersive ways. In particular, the Galaxy S26 Ultra camera captures memorable moments from live performances, allowing the audience around the world to relive and share the experience, bringing the energy and emotion of the concert into their everyday lives.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“Fans are at the heart of everything we do, shaping our music and journey together with us,” said Lee Jae-sang, CEO of HYBE. “Through this partnership with Samsung Electronics, we hope fans can experience concerts more vividly and create lasting memories.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>BTS WORLD TOUR ‘ARIRANG’ will begin in Goyang, South Korea, and continue in major cities around the world through 2027. As part of the world tour, BTS THE CITY ARIRANG SEOUL, an exclusive city-wide festival, is taking place in Seoul from March 20 to April 19, and includes a range of Galaxy-powered immersive experiences to major landmarks across the city.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Fans can explore the Galaxy S26 series through interactive activities, including a stamp rally at Samsung’s Gangnam store and creating self-made stickers using the Galaxy AI-powered Creative Studio<sup>1</sup>. Participants who complete these interactive activities are eligible to receive various prizes, including limited-edition ‘BTS THE CITY ARIRANG SEOUL’ merchandise.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Following Seoul, ‘BTS THE CITY’ will expand to other tour stops. Samsung will take part in the entire ’BTS THE CITY’ journey, driving innovation that encourages fans to express themselves, capture meaningful moments and expand everyday experiences with Galaxy.</p>
