Manila, Philippines – Jan 10, 2024 – To say that Kpop has infiltrated the lifestyle of Filipinos in all walks of life is an understatement. Everywhere you look, Kpop makes a mark – top songs listened to in streaming apps, concerts that people willingly travel far distances and even foreign countries for, endorsements for local brands, and even stores that sell specific fandom merchandise. And as a brand that finds its roots in South Korea, it is only fitting that Samsung offers the best personalized products and experiences for Kpop fans.

From Gangnam to LA to Harajuku, Samsung is now bringing SLBS Studio to the Philippines with an exciting collaboration featuring K-pop global sensation, Stray Kids. STAYs can express their style with exciting collaboration cases and accessories exclusively made for Galaxy devices.

He added, “All these are part of Samsung’s efforts in offering innovative and unique products and experiences that celebrate our users and their individual lifestyles – and from what we’re seeing, Kpop is very much a part of that, and one that elicits a very passionate response from our users. So for Kpop fans everywhere, please stay tuned as 2024 is bound to be a very exciting one for Samsung!”

During the launch event for the collection, certified STAY Mara Zoryl expresses how excited she is about the collection, and why she can’t wait to get her hands on this special collaboration. “I am extremely glad that SLBS Studio is now here in the Philippines, making the mobile accessories in special collaboration with my favorite K-Pop group Stray Kids easily accessible to Filipino STAYs! I was eagerly anticipating its arrival in Manila since last year so that I could get my own STAR TO GALAXY SLBS X STRAY KIDS merchandise, so big thanks to Samsung Philippines for making it possible. I am looking forward to more K-pop collaboration goods and cute accessories from SLBS Studio for my Samsung devices!” Mara shared.
