KT announced on the 10th that it will launch the ‘Galaxy S23 Premium Y Edition’ through KT stores nationwide and the official online mall KT.com.
The Galaxy S23 Premium Y Edition is a limited edition packed with benefits specifically designed for the youth, available exclusively at KT. ‘Y’ refers to KT’s youth-targeted brand providing various exclusive products and benefits for customers under 34 years old.
This edition is equipped with the Galaxy S23 in a 256GB Cream color, along with accessories including SmartTag2, a SmartTag2 pouch and keyring, Raontok app, a three-time DIY case creation coupon, and themed icons designed by Y artist Aconji. The retail price is set at 1,199,000 KRW (VAT included).
KT has partnered with popular places frequented by the Y generation, such as GS25, Daiso, and Mega MGC coffee, to offer a benefit where all customers who activate the Y Edition will receive a 5,000 KRW gift card every month for a year.
Additionally, KT has prepared various offers to make it easier for customers to purchase the Galaxy S23 Premium Y Edition.
To coincide with the launch, KT is offering a subscription service for the Galaxy S23 Premium Y Edition. Customers can pay a monthly fee of 1,000 KRW for 24 months, which allows them to defer up to 25% of the retail price (maximum 300,000 KRW). (This is subject to a return condition after two years, cannot be turned on/off by all, and returns are not possible in case of external damage or account deletion). Moreover, there is a Care Service for complete damage protection at a monthly fee of 4,900 KRW.
Furthermore, KT supports combined discounts and benefits from choice rate plans. By signing up for the 5G Choice Basic plan and combining it with a KT Premium Family plan, KT customers can enjoy up to a 50% discount on charges, unlimited data, VIP membership, and additional benefits such as Device/OTT options, all for approximately 40,000 KRW monthly. Customers under 18 years of age can receive an additional youth discount of 5,500 KRW, bringing their costs down to around 30,000 KRW.
Moreover, KT customers selecting the Samsung Choice or Device Choice benefits will receive monthly discounts on device installment bills, allowing purchases of popular products at discounted prices, such as 0 KRW for Buds 2 Pro, about 900 KRW per month for two Buds FE (black, white), about 10,000 KRW per month for Sony noise-canceling headphones, and around 8,000 KRW for a Nintendo Switch.
From May 10 to 17, an event will be held in which customers who activate the Galaxy S23 Premium Y Edition with an online-only plan will be entered into a drawing for tickets to the Seoul Jazz Festival 2024. Moreover, those who leave purchase reviews will receive a 20,000 KRW coupon for delivery services and a 30,000 KRW coupon for exclusive Galaxy S23 accessories, guaranteed for all, and up to a 210,000 KRW popular partner coupon pack will be distributed monthly for 24 months based on the plan level.
Kim Byeong-kyun, head of KT’s Device Business Division, stated, “We have prepared the KT-exclusive Galaxy S23 Premium Y Edition packed with all the benefits needed for the youth,” and added, “We also have a subscription service to reduce purchasing burdens, so we hope you enjoy the Y Edition at a more reasonable price.”
