On March 8, a new video was uploaded to her YouTube channel titled “Vlog Long time no see~ It’s already March! FreeZia’s daily moments.zip: Gyeongbokgung date course recommendation, White Day, nail art, late-night movie.” The vlog captured various moments from her daily life.
During one scene filmed at a nail salon, FreeZia chatted with a friend about smartphone brands. The conversation turned to her friend’s boyfriend, who reportedly uses a Samsung Galaxy Fold.
FreeZia responded candidly, saying, “Honestly, if my boyfriend used a Galaxy phone? I’d kind of hate it.”
When her friend asked why, she explained, “My mom and dad use Galaxy phones. But parents and a boyfriend are different, right?” She also added that imagining her boyfriend taking photos of her with a Galaxy device would make her feel annoyed.
FreeZia further shared her personal preference, saying that photos taken with Galaxy phones and iPhones have a different “look.” She also remarked that she had never used a Galaxy phone herself.
“The only people I can allow to use Galaxy are my mom and dad,” she said, before adding that she had once considered buying the Galaxy Flip when it was first released because its design reminded her of old flip phones. Still, she emphasized that she feels more comfortable using an iPhone and finds other devices harder to navigate.
After the clip spread online, it quickly triggered debate across social media and online communities.
Many netizens criticized the remarks, saying they sounded as if she was judging people based on the phone they use. Comments included: “It feels uncomfortable to judge someone by their phone,” “It sounds like she’s looking down on Galaxy users,” and “Even if it’s a preference, the way she said it felt rude.” Some also argued that public figures with large online influence should be more careful with their words.
However, others defended FreeZia, suggesting the comments were simply a casual opinion shared in a vlog. Supporters pointed out that many young consumers prefer iPhones and that the remark may have been exaggerated by viewers. Some wrote that it was merely a lighthearted conversation between friends and not meant to insult anyone.
FreeZia currently has around 760,000 subscribers on YouTube and rose to wider fame after appearing on the Netflix reality dating show “Single’s Inferno 2.” She gained attention for her glamorous lifestyle and fashion content.
The influencer previously faced controversy when several luxury items featured on her channel were revealed to be counterfeit. After issuing a public apology and taking time away from the spotlight, she later resumed her online activities.
