Those are terrible. The grimace one wasn't terrible; so I thought, "hmm, this is likely the worst of what is a totally trivial problem". The problem is trivial but it went down hill quality wise. I would say honestly, a new user or user of any platform other than Samsung is going to have some awkward and confusing exchanges.
Why is there an annoying "open in app" button covering the content? it's just text and pictures, my web browser handles that just fine. If I want to open it in an app, I can open it in pocket.
Is there a Korean cultural bias in the choice? The iOS emojis (I'm an iOS user so I"m speaking generally, and not from this article) remind me very closely to the DoCoMo emoji I had in Japan in the 1990s.
Entirely possible. Emojipedia has previously noted that the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 was missing the emoji for "Map of Japan", "Crossed Flags" (which is typically depicted as a pair of Japanese flags), and "Chart Increasing With Yen".

Everyone decided cookies are probably chocolate chip cookies, except Samsung, who apparently got confused during the process...
