Key points

Samsung Electronics has launched 'Samsung Crew,' a creator program to share real-world experiences with its AI home appliances with consumers. Samsung announced this on the 1st. iNews24 reported that Samsung held the kickoff ceremony for the first Samsung Crew cohort at CGV The Private Cinema in Cheongdam, Seoul, on the 30th of last month, and Digital Daily also wrote that Samsung Crew launched on the 30th of last month.

Samsung Crew is made up of creators who have been active on YouTube, Instagram and blogs on lifestyle topics such as living, interior design, parenting and daily life. This information appears in Samsung Newsroom material (a company announcement) and Digital Daily's report. AI Newspaper (인공지능신문), IT Chosun and Chosun Biz put the number of participants at about 30, and iNews24 also said in its headline that about 30 creators are taking part. Chosun Biz referred to this lineup as the first cohort.

Outlets described the purpose of the program in slightly different ways. AI Newspaper (인공지능신문) noted that the previous approach was promotion that introduced a product's main features, and said the focus this time is on showing AI appliances being used in real living spaces. IT Chosun wrote that the plan is to promote how useful AI appliances are and expand communication with customers through content aimed at the consumer's point of view. EBN explained that the strategy is to convey the value of using AI appliances through varied content, from product reviews to delivery, installation and after-sales care.

Samsung Newsroom, in a company announcement, said it will spread consumer-friendly content on the theme of 'Samsung AI appliances' together with Samsung Crew. Digital Daily's report and Chosun Biz's headline (spreading real-use experience content) point in the same direction.

Recent developments Techworld News reported that Samsung Electronics ranked first in 14 categories in the '2026 Korean Standard Quality Excellence Index (KS-QEI)' survey run by the Korean Standards Association on the 28th, extending its record of the most first-place categories to 18 consecutive years. The index has been conducted since 2004 as a survey of satisfaction with the quality of products and services by industry, and the article's headline was 'AI Appliance Competitiveness Pays Off.'
