Dive Studios has partnered with Samsung once again this summer to create lasting memories with friends with an all-star meet and greet line up from July 20th to August 3rd in SoHo.
The SoHo Samsung Galaxy Experience Space—located at 500 Broadway—was one of seven showcases held around the world to display what the company is doing with their latest Galaxy AI technology. Fans around the world from Berlin, Dubai, Jakarta, Paris, Seoul and New York were given the opportunity to test out the latest products like their translation tools, AI powered search engines, and more.
“As Galaxy AI continues to evolve, Samsung is committed to delivering unique and optimized experiences to best suit each form factor, from the newest Galaxy Z series to the broader Galaxy ecosystem,” said Jamie Park, VP & Head of Experience Marketing Group, Mobile eXperience Business at Samsung Electronics in a press release. “We’re excited to introduce a new world of possibilities, offering Galaxy fans an exclusive look at how Galaxy AI capabilities across the Galaxy ecosystem can enhance our everyday lives.”
Dive Studios, known for their work promoting Korean culture and pushing for Asian artist representation along with their mental health platform Mindset, helped make the event a fun, and memorable experience by providing free, exclusive meet and greet with music artists EAJ (Jae Park) and Chase Hudson, as well as the beautiful and talented actress Karen Fukuhara.
Over the course of three Saturdays, there was pure joy emanating from both the artists and fans as they explored the Samsung Experience Space, interacted with the products and posed for photos. Dive Studios has always been a supporter of mental health and wellness, and what better way to showcase this then through an event that creates lasting memories and meaningful social interactions.
Jae Park, a musician and singer known for his work in pop South Korean band Day6, smiled brightly at fans as he held up the Samsung Flip6, amazed by it’s camera capabilities. Park, who will be performing in New York in November for his “When the Rain Stopped Following Me” world tour, posed for photos, selfies, and signed autographs for fans at the event on July 20th.
Prior to an epic performance at Lollapalooza, Chase Hudson (famously known as Huddy, is a singer, social media personality and actor,) explored the Samsung Experience Space on July 26th where he tested out the Galaxy AI features and then met with fans. Hudson is gearing up for his European Tour with Palaye Royale this fall.
The final celebrity guest to take part in the meet and greet event on August 3rd was renowned actress Karen Fukuhara, known for her work as Katana in Suicide Squad and Kimiko Miyashiro in the hit television show The Boys.
