Single’s Inferno star and YouTuber Song Jia — better known as Freezia — is back in controversy, and this time it’s not about designer bags. A vlog uploaded to her YouTube channel THE FREEZIA on March 8, 2026 has ignited a fresh wave of public backlash after she casually admitted she’d feel “slightly disgusted” if her boyfriend used a Samsung Galaxy phone. For someone who’s already had one very public fall from grace, the timing and the irony could not be more pointed.

What Exactly Did She Say?
Filming at a nail salon for a casual vlog, Freezia chatted with a friend about smartphone brands. After hearing that her friend’s boyfriend uses a Galaxy Fold, she said: “Honestly, I’d dislike it if my boyfriend used a Galaxy. My mom and dad use Galaxy phones, but they’re different from a boyfriend. Thinking about him taking pictures of me with that phone really annoys me.”
She continued: “The photo quality of Galaxy and iPhone is different. I don’t even remember ever touching a Galaxy. The only people I can allow to use one are my mom and dad.”
Translations spread across X within hours. Freezia ultimately had to remove the video from her YouTube channel following the backlash.
Why Did It Hit So Hard?
Internet users pointed out the glaring irony: “Mind you, she’s Korean, and Samsung is her country’s own brand. Acting embarrassed to use it? That’s pure classism.” Tell-Tale TV Samsung is South Korea’s most iconic tech company and a national source of immense pride globally — making Freezia’s dismissal land particularly harshly at home.
The backlash was also amplified because of history. Song Ji-a became a lightning rod for public frustration around wealth signalling, “fake rich” aesthetics, and inequality — and this latest incident reminded many of those same themes. Soapcentral
As one commenter put it: “It is hilarious when you think about it. She judges people for using a Samsung Galaxy, but she is the exact same person who got caught showing off fake designer brands and had to make a national public apology.” Tell-Tale TV
