In January 204, a large crowd gathered at ‘Samsung Gangnam ‘. Those who pre-ordered the Galaxy S24 series lined up from early in the day to pick up and activate the product.
Samsung Electronics held a pre-sale for the ‘ Galaxy S24 Series ’ from the 19th to the 25th. This product, equipped with Galaxy AI , was predicted to be a record-breaking success from the pre-sale period . The newsroom visited the first day of pre-opening at ‘ Samsung Gangnam ‘ , which was full of anticipation and excitement for the Galaxy S24 series.
At around 8:40 a.m., as soon as the Samsung Gangnam doors opened, people lined up to enter with reservations to purchase products in advance online and then pick them up at the store. The line wrapped around the experience space on the first floor and extended up to the stairs leading to the pickup zone on the second floor. Those who made advance reservations at the pick-up zone on the second floor were able to receive the product after verifying their identity with the QR code they received in advance.
The moment when product receipt began with ‘Customer No. 1’ who was at the front of the long line. Applause and cheers erupted from everywhere. The customer who waited outside the door for a long time before opening and finally received the product was Se-hwan Kim. He received congratulations from Samsung Electronics Korea Marketing Z Lab employees, comprised of employees in their 20s, and received the ‘Galaxy S24 Ultra’. Se-Hwan Kim said, “I have been applying to pick up products only here since Samsung Gangnam was established. I had no idea that I would be selected as the first customer to pick up the Galaxy S24 series, but I think it will remain a truly meaningful moment.”
