Samsung and LG are battling to get F4 custody

[shanny-w.livejournal.com]

It was reported sometime in February that LG Telecom has snatched a deal with Lee Minho, Goo Hye Sun and Kimbum to represent the mobile company. While their fellow castmates Kim Joon and Hyun Joong will lend their popularity to advertise for Samsung.

But wait what is this we see…isn’t that Kimbum posing with Hyun Joong and Kim Joon to advertise Samsung’s Anycall Haptic Pop?



In a never before seen or heard advertising move, the two opposing mobile giants are currently under “dramatic negotiations” to share the F4 boys. Both LG and Samsung expressed their desire to use these boys as image models and according to them it will be weird for consumers to have half of F4 modeling one phone while the other half models for another. So now they are trying to share them.

The business community is of course perplexed with this kind wtf-ery but LG and Samsung are willing to risk it. The full detail of the negotiation is still under wraps. Both companies will have to go through the contracts of the image models and whatnot before they can finalize everything. But for now, the Samsung Haptic Pop will be the first F4 mobile ad you’ll see followed by a new unit from LG.



Holy cow with bells! This is seriously like one messy child custody battle. Everyone wants a piece of the BOF fame and it’s getting out of hand. Just take a look at Kimbum, he’s making pretty faces at the camera while he’s still in a freaking cast!

And do you think Samsung and LG care about that?

Ugh. Parents.

Poor Bums, his right leg needs some tlc, but at least his left foot is stylish. I'll be more than happy to oblige with his needs.

Pretty smart of them actually. We've already seen what kind of disposable income the Korean fans have with all the presents they send the cast. Whose to say a person wouldn't buy two phones just 'cuz their fav celeb advertises it?

It's a crazy notion, but I can see it happening.

That being said the Anycall looks pretty awesome. I'd buy it if it was in the States.

Are LG and Samsung's cellphones good at all?? I was just wondering since I have always been a Nokia girl and its time for me to change phone
