[THE INVESTOR] LG Electronics said on June 18 it has launched a new smartphone theme featuring popular Korean boy band BTS, which can be downloaded to the company’s latest devices, including the G7 ThinQ.

The theme will allow users to decorate their smartphones with photos of a specific member of the seven-member K-pop group.

“The BTS package of the LG G7 ThinQ has been gaining popularity among users,” an official from LG Electronics said, saying the release of the theme is aimed at sharing such experiences with all users of LG smartphones.

The special BTS package of the LG G7 ThinQ came with a special smartphone case which automatically installs the BTS theme. The company said the package was popular among all age groups, from teens to people in their 40s.

In May, BTS became the first Korean act to top the Billboard 200 albums chart with its album, “Love Yourself: Tear.”
