1
Hey everybody, Stephen from Asian Boss here.
2
We've been conducting street interviews across Asia for over a decade
3
now with the goal of bringing you the most authentic on-the-ground cultural and social insight that you won't find anywhere else.
4
One of our earlier street interviews was asking people outside of Korea if they knew which country Samsung was from.
5
Back then, a surprising number of people thought it was a Japanese or Chinese brand.
6
These days, I guess that most people recognize Samsung as a Korean company.
7
But have you ever wondered which brand of phone young Koreans, particularly Gen Z, prefer to use?
8
You might assume it's Samsung, right?
9
After all, Apple entered the Korean market relatively late, only opening its first official Apple store in 2018.
10
And even now, Apple Pay still isn't widely used in Korea, largely due to regulatory hurdles and the dominance of Samsung Pay.
11
So given all that, one might think that brand loyalty
12
or even a sense of national pride would keep young Koreans loyal to Samsung.
13
But is it really the case?
14
To find out, our Asian Muslim reporter hit the streets of Seoul to ask young Koreans about their smartphone preferences.

I don't think I had a lot of images.
164
I think that Apple is pretty and well-made, so my friends are using a lot, and I think I would like to use it.
165
I think it's a little change.
166
The new Galaxy has been very well, so I've been able to get a lot of iPhone from the past.

184
I didn't have any support.
185
My father said, I would say that I would buy a phone for a free phone.
186
I was just surprised by my friends.
187
It's a very old generation of modern-世代.
188
What is the most important thing to buy?
189
It's a very important thing to buy.
190
It's important to buy a country that is a good thing to buy.
191
I think that's a good point of view of the human generation.
192
I've been living in the foreign countries and I've felt that my friends are Korean and they're like,
193
I'm not Korean, but I'm not sure about it.
194
I don't know what to say about it.

I think Samsung has been making new things,
200
but Apple has just increased the price and the price.
201
I've heard that I've been living in a new system.
202
Because I think it's because of the new device, the camera specs are not just the same as the spec.
203
It's a clear idea that I think it's true.
204
But some people, they can't even look at the same type of product, and they can't even look at the same type of product, and they can't even look at the same type of product.
205
I think it's true.
206
I think it's true.
207
The price is still expensive, I think it's a camera that doesn't change and battery is a little higher.
208
How do you think the next smartphone is going to be able to go to the smartphone?

213
I think it's hard to keep people with their own.
214
I think it's better to keep people with their own.
215
I think the battery capacity will be much longer.
216
We used two batteries and used it.
217
We need to be able to charge it as 4.
218
But I wish it was a little more sustainable.
219
Thank you for your interview today.
220
Thank you.
221
Okay, so as we just saw, Gen Z Koreans aren't choosing their phones based on national pride or brand loyalty.
222
They're choosing based on what fits their identity, what's trending, and in some cases, what their parents didn't use, which is super interesting.
223
Because unless you grew up in Korea, who would have guessed that phone preferences could be shaped by subconscious rejection of control,
224
like the experience of being monitored through Samsung's parental mirroring features back in school.
225
This kind of a deeper insight about how generational tech trauma and social signaling shape consumer behavior
226
is exactly the kind of context you won't get from mainstream media or even chat GPT.
227
You have to talk to the locals on the ground.
228
And that's exactly what we do here at Asian Boss, bringing cultural layers to light one conversation at a time.
229
Let us know in the comments what topic you think we should explore next.
230
And don't forget to like, subscribe, and share, because real human insight matters more than ever.
231
Thanks for watching, and as always, stay curious.
232
Bye.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
