The Samsung Galaxy S9 launch was a star-studded affair with Korean heartthrob, Park Bo-gum, flying in from Seoul, and local celebrities like Jinny Boy, Reuben Kang, Serene Lim and Serena C.
Thousands of Samsung and Park Bo-gum fans lined up for hours just to catch a glimpse of Park Bo-gum. They flooded the center concourse of Pavilion Kuala Lumpur, and even caused a massive traffic jam outside!
