On September 21, 2023, Samsung revealed that it will release a brand film starring Min Yoongi aka SUGA from BTS on October 5, 2023. As a brand ambassador for Samsung, Yoongi will demonstrate his own usage of The Freestyle 2nd Gen, the company's most recent and adaptable portable projector. The film will be released on Samsung's social media platforms, including its official YouTube channel.
In the upcoming brand film, Yoongi will be seen flaunting how much he likes the projector and underlines the movie with his tagline:
"You have the freedom to utilize The Freestyle whenever and wherever you choose. No others, just SAMSUNG!" — Yoongi
At an earlier IFA 2023 event hosted in Berlin, Germany, the Haegum rapper-songwriter from BTS shocked attendees by greeting them and encouraging them to try The Freestyle 2nd Gen via a display screen.
The second version of Samsung's lightweight, portable projector, the Freestyle, was just released. The Freestyle 2nd Gen's newly integrated "Smart Edge Blending" technology and "Gaming Hub" compatibility seek to reinvent portable displays.
