Samsung’s partnership with BTS reveals how legacy tech brands are abandoning traditional celebrity endorsement hierarchies—rather than paying stars to endorse products, they’re now co-investing in cultural moments themselves, betting that authentic alignment with generational touchstones (K-pop’s global dominance) matters more than functional differentiation.
