1. A user terminal device, comprising:
a flexible display configured to be divided into a first area and a second area larger than the first area with reference to a folding line along which the flexible display is folded, wherein the flexible display comprises a touch screen;
a cover disposed on a rear side of the flexible display; and
one or more processors configured to:
based on detecting a first user touch interaction input at the first area while the flexible display is in a screen-off state and is folded along the folding line such that the first area of the flexible display is provided as a rear surface of the user terminal device and the second area of the flexible display is provided as a front surface of the user terminal device, control the first area of the flexible display to transition from the screen-off state to a screen-on state, and
based on detecting a second user touch interaction input at the second area while the flexible display is in the screen-off state and is folded along the folding line such that the first area of the flexible display is provided as the rear surface of the user terminal device and the second area of the flexible display is provided as the front surface of the user terminal device, control the second area of the flexible display to transition from the screen-off state to the screen-on state.
