Felix, the Australian member of the group Stray Kids (Stray Kids), met with Lee Jae-yong, Chairman of Samsung Electronics.

Felix posted a verified photo with Chairman Lee on his Instagram story on the 3rd. Felix's group Stray Kids and the chairman attended the welcoming luncheon at Cheong Wa Dae for the state visit of French President Emmanuel Macron. It was held under the auspices of President Lee Jae-myung.

It was truly an unprecedented pairing. The photo captured a warm two-shot of Chairman Lee and Felix. Felix was wearing a bright smile, and the chairman also created a heartwarming atmosphere with his characteristically down-to-earth expression.

In particular, fans' interest was heightened because Felix has a special relationship with Samsung Electronics. Felix is an actual Galaxy smartphone user and served as a model last year. The Galaxy S25 Edge launch commercial he appeared in attracted significant attention, surpassing 19,000,000 views in just 10 days after its release. Moreover, unlike many idols who switch to other brands after their time as a Galaxy model ends, Felix has continued to use Galaxy devices and even verified this, generating buzz among netizens.

Meanwhile, Felix was selected along with actress Jun Ji-hyun as an honorary promotional ambassador commemorating the 140th anniversary of Korea-France diplomatic relations.
