[Asia Economy Reporter Seulgina Jo] LG Uplus will begin activating pre-ordered Galaxy Z series devices starting from the 24th.

The first customers to activate LG Uplus’s Galaxy Z Fold3 and Galaxy Z Flip3 are Min Hyerim (34) and Ryu Siyun (24), respectively. On the 23rd at 6 PM, LG Uplus held a device handover and activation event at Ilsang Biilsangui Teum, a complex cultural space located near Gangnam Station.

Min Hyerim, the first Galaxy Z Fold3 activation customer, who is also an advertising model for LG Uplus’s Galaxy Z series and a popular artist from AOMG, Simon Dominic, arrived at the event venue with a special escort in a premium SUV from Peaches. Ryu Siyun, the second winner, received a Galaxy Z Flip3 along with tickets to an AOMG online concert and Peaches collaboration merchandise. Rapper Simon Dominic also participated as a “special activation customer,” activating the devices alongside the two first customers of the Z series.

Min Hyerim said, “I have been a long-term customer of LG Uplus mobile services for about seven years, and I am very happy to have won such a special event. Simon Dominic’s special escort will be an unforgettable memory.” Ryu Siyun added, “My entire family uses LG Uplus for mobile, internet, and IPTV services, and since LG Uplus’s pre-benefits were the most attractive, I applied for the first activation customer event just in case. I still feel like I’m dreaming after winning the event, and I’m grateful to be invited to such a unique event.”

Han Seonghyun, head of LG Uplus’s Device/IoT Marketing Team, stated, “We planned this unique event in collaboration with the complex cultural space Ilsang Biilsangui Teum and Simon Dominic from Korea’s largest hip-hop label AOMG to create joyful memories that customers will cherish for a lifetime. We will continue to conduct diverse promotions prioritizing customer satisfaction.”

LG Uplus is running the ‘Honey Combo’ promotion from August 24 to 31, offering special discounted plans to customers who purchase Galaxy Z series unlocked phones and subscribe to plans through nine U+ MVNO partners. This is the third Honey Combo promotion following the iPhone 12 in October last year and the Galaxy S21 in January this year.

Since the launch of the Honey Combo promotion last year, approximately 100,000 customers have joined, gaining tremendous popularity, which led to the planning of this third edition. Notably, about 70% of participants are in their 20s and 30s.

The eligible plans include three LTE options: 7GB for as low as 7,700 KRW (3 Mbps speed after data exhaustion), 211GB for as low as 19,800 KRW (3 Mbps after exhaustion), and 65GB for as low as 9,900 KRW (3 Mbps after exhaustion). Prices and promotion details vary by participating operators.

Kang Jinwook, head of LG Uplus MVNO Business, said, “We believe the Honey Combo, which combines Galaxy Z series unlocked phones and U+ MVNO plans, represents another opportunity for growth in the MVNO market. We will continue to strive to offer ‘sweet’ combinations with specialized plans and additional benefits.”
