- Footage of North Korean, South Korean, and Chinese Olympic athletes taking a selfie has gone viral online.
- This wasn’t a spur-of-the-moment decision, though, as officials lend all podium winners a Galaxy Z Flip 6 for selfies.
- Samsung sponsors the 2024 Olympics and also gifted all athletes with an Olympic-themed Galaxy Z Flip 6.
The 2024 Olympics are underway, and one moment has gone viral as North Korean, South Korean, and Chinese athletes took a selfie on the podium following their table tennis matches.
Footage of the moment has been shared thousands of times online, while a post on Reddit gained over 60,000 upvotes on the platform. However, some online posts assert that this was a spur-of-the-moment decision. One user on the Reddit post even claimed that South Korean athlete Lim organized the selfie in celebration of being exempt from conscription. The comment received over 13,000 upvotes. However, the truth is that this was actually part of Samsung‘s over-arching sponsorship of the event.
