i loved skz's album packaging, i just wished they added a magnet where you open it cause the cover doesn't stay in place when you display it unless you have a bookend or something heavy to keep it still
that pentagon album is the most beautiful album i’ve ever seen wow also we should definitely talk about kpop album packaging more, because i feel like it lowkey affects whether i buy an album/stan a group sometimes
graphic designer or not, I think you did a wonderful job in explaining your favourite and least favourite packaging! it's always so interesting to see the differences & similarities in people's tastes when it comes to art because it can be so subjective!! love this video katie!!
i agree with the huge ass sm album ones!! having shinee's don't call me & atlantis albums next to their older releases just kinda looks odd because of how large they are. idk wtf they were thinking but its alright bc shinee literally had one of the best releases of 2021
my personal favorite was soyeon’s windy. absolute cutest packaging I’ve ever seen and love that she fought to have the happy meal look. and also joy’s photobook version of hello for all the reasons you mentioned least favorite definitely queens version queendom again and return of the girl by everglow. it doesn’t seem like it’d be bad but anyone with this album knows that it is packed TIGHT. many of my friends had to damage the album just to get it out of the slip
omg frr, i got everglow's return of the girl album for christmas and i swear it took me 2 freaking days to open it without damaging the album. i don't know what was yuehua thinking when they did this and it's a shame bc i loved the entire album.
I honestly had to watch an unboxing video just to work out how you were supposed to open it, because the sleeve is so tight, that I was left wondering whether or not it was a sleeve, or if you were supposed to rip it open. I've heard of other artists making albums you have to rip open, and I was scared, so I watched the video to check before I tried it. And then when I finally got everything out, I saw the quality of the photobooks. One of them was bound nicely, but the other looked like the pages were barely staying in. It's not the worst album I have, but it's up there.
@@shanetrevyllian2950 yeah many of my friends ripped or damaged their albums in the process of trying to get everything out. everglow have 3 other albums with slip covers so idk why they couldn’t make this one work 😭 oh also I think the other “photobook” you’re talking about is the postcard book in which case those are actually intended to be loose and come out easily
yes to pentagon !!! have you seen their new logo/rebranding for their comeback?? it feels like the new song is going to be dr bebe + daisys love child 🥴💓
I personally like -R-'s album because of how aesthetically pleasing it is, but COL, QUEENDOM, and some others (which I forgot) had a really good packaging.
17:54 THIS !!! i literally gave up on buying the queens version of the album because i wouldn't be able to display it properly 😭 i went with the girls version and bought yeri's inclusions separately, i have trouble dispalying my skz levanter album THIS THING WOULD HAVE TO BE HANG UP ON MY WALL OR SOMETHING
haha, i literally shouted "yes!!!" when you brought out nct 2021. after resonance p1's photobook felt like it would fall apart with a stern look, and resonance p2's photobook having printing issues and being so stiff you could barely open it, universe was such a breath of fresh air. the binding is gorgeous and stylized and that bible of a photobook actually lays FLAT??? genius, honestly. but we dont talk about the jewel cases.
i didn't even stan pentagon but i decided to bought their love or take album because i watch your video, i just want have the romantic version but ended up bought all three version
My fave packaging this year would be: - R - (ROSÉ) Bad Love (KEY) Love or Take (Pentagon) Lilac (IU) DFTF (EXO) TBOU:N (DAY6) I don't have to list my least fave ones coz It would be too hard...
SMs Case Versions are so pretty especially the Aespa version cause they included technology in there with the AR cd so genius Also Nct 2021! The clear skin looks so good on the shelf (the title on the side is so present and clear) and it holds everything together so it’s "stiff". And because of the binding you can open the pages completely/180degrees so nice to look through
25:10 YES OMG- txt is my ult group but the packaging for both this album and minisode 1 are so difficult to open 😭 i feel like im breaking it every time i try to look through it, my blue hour album is almost breaking off just from opening it already
I enjoyed your video! It's cool when more people are a bit more critical about packagings and stuff. Wouldn't mind seeing one in this style with inclusions, as well. Since sometimes I think, wow, gorgeous (i.e. Onewe includes some beautiful stickers designed as stamps) and sometimes it's more like... "what... are you even supposed to do with these...?" There's so many I can agree with! It took me a whole listen through KEY's album to get the Spaceray-gun version open (I literally cut every single one of these nibs open separately) and still didn't get the job done without some minor damages. But the whole package concept was so fun - it really gave me some nostalgia, back to getting toys as a child. The big magazine-like albums from Shinee & Taemin are such an unfortunate concept. Like you said it does a very good job with the images (they are so freaking saturated, lovely!) but it's hard to display them. In fact, I turned the albums backwards, so the spines are in the back. Doesn't make it any better, but well... Romanticize felt so super cheaply thrown together. It would make the top spot on my list of disliked packaging. Astro did a really good job with Switch On, they had a hardcover box with a magnet stripe to open it. Really wished this would've been the case with Nu'est, too. And Attaca... hmm. I honestly have mixed feelings about it. It is floppy (especially the see through wrapper) and that makes it hard to display for me (only having one copy). But splitting it up into units and then still having guts to release it in separate versions, too, really doesn't want to make me get into collecting anything Seventeen-related. Also the fact that there's so many empty pages in it, was pretty discouraging. If they would be more creative with these at least... On the bright side, happy that the inclusions where pretty random, so I wasn't stuck with one unit, only. PS: Haven't had the Pentagon-album on radar, but that does look so cool! I kinda wan't it now, too. :D
I think you would have really liked the Emergency Landing version of the "Don't Fight The Feeling" album, because they include post cards of the different planets that each member crash landed onto, and you can insert them under the clear part of the slip cover and it becomes part of the cover. It looks so cool!
I loved this video!!! I skipped the Christmas Evel part though because I haven't got mine yet and I want to be surprised in my own unboxing! ❤️😊 Love hearing you review the packaging, concept, cover, inclusions of each album in detail! Especially reviewing how they look on the shelf.
@@istanjypegroupsincludingja9592 i have no idea 😭😭😭 last night i was adding my ateez pcs into the little binder with all my pcs and my minho pob was gone 😭😭😭
I wished for red velvet to get a bigger album size for once.... But didn't wish for that big 🥲😅 my copy came damaged because SM didn't made it hardcover 🙄
thanks for the video! i definitely agree with the larger packaging, especially when it’s so floppy it’s so difficult to store :/ looking forward for your next upload, have a great day!
romanticize packaging could have been way better considering the whole album is focused on ~romance~ but nah pledis cheap. like i know dreamcatcher does that same kind of packaging but how is theirs more sturdy than whatever take out box nuest got for their 2nd full album. i think there have been hits and misses for the sm albums that have come out this year.. i liked aespa's savage packaging ( the digipack ) and i loved red velvet's queendom one ( the girls version ) but everything else was huge and made shipping even more expensive. hopefully the bag packaging stops next year!!! i want a nice sturdy cover photobook instead!
Freaking agree with TXT's Freeze... Like I had to sold it, even when I love concept and everything. It really made me mad, I even damaged my postcard because of that stupid opening 🤦🏻♀️💀 And agree with DFTF and UNIVERSE... Totally beautiful albums. There is beauty in simple things. I actually did not thought I would love UNIVERSE that much when teasers were posted. But once I've seen it... So BEAUTIFUL 💚 And Attacca... Idk I kinda like it but the fact that those are unit photobooks makes me sad and broke 🙈
Not suprised to see svt, nuest and txt with bad packaging. Hybe has been doing a very poor job with albuns. Enhypen too has everything loose inside and bts's butter album doenst match the older ones, its completly out of place. It's sad to see nuest and svt albums decrease in quality because of hybe.
Yea ikr! I too thought so the same. Like I have always loved seventeen’s album packages but this time…. Not so much :( but I kinda liked nuset and txt’s albums tho
Yup, I'm disappointed with svt album too. The plastic cover can easily get dent and very visible plus the photobook looks like it's going to tear any time.
I loved TXT's packaging in the past, since they started to work with yg plus everything just feels low quality I really don't enjoy them like before, hope they do better this year.
I have Key's album in the ray gun version and I opened it up at the top by using a cutter. I cut through the plastic bit right at the top and slid the album through there and you don't even notice it when its propped upright. There was no way I would have destroyed that amazing packaging and I agree that it's one of the best designs Ive seen lately. Key is such a creative person, and everything from the props to costumes, sound and packaging for this was next nevel.
Thank you for the video ☺️ I really liked to hear your opinion. A definitely agree about a lot of things. Like keys album or the pentagon album. The pentagon album even made me a bit sad that I don’t Stan them. It’s such an amazing packaging. I also agree with your opinion on universe. I’m always confused when I hear that ppl dislike it. I love the spine and the slip cover. You can fully open the photobook up so easily. One reason why I personally don’t like the straykids packaging so much. You have to bend the pages and kink the photobook so much to really see the full pictures. That’s also why I love the hello future packaging. You can open it up so easily and the pictures are so big, bright and colorful.
when they revealed the versions for the queendom album I thought the queen version would be like the size of the guidebook ver for the reve festival, I was kinda hoping it was because its soo big to store in the shelf
Key's album was so damn cool! I got the space ray gun version but I couldn't bring myself to rip it ahahaha. Since I only got one copy I sat there for 45 minutes cutting open the top of the plastic so I could slide out the photobook 🙈
me being torn being a pentagon and nu’est stan, with nu’est usual book packaging turning into this flimsy box packaging with five versions vs me actually collecting all 24 copies of love or take with all the member covers (fun fact that shinwon and wooseok actually mentioned if you’re called out for buying so many albums you can just pretend they’re manga books 😂)
i need to say thank u to irene & seulgi bc both of them had a hand in designing the case ver. packaging that we see in rv & æspa albums today (it was exclusively used for rv albums from monster onwards until they used it for savage as well)
Omg. Idc if it’s 2 am right now. This content got me so curiouuuus! I might get fall asleep along the way, so I’ll continue to finish it later in the morning. Anyway, thank you so much for this! Happy holidays and advance Happy New Year! 💙
BAG. PACKAGING. IS. MY. LEAST. FAVORITE. Every time I reopen the sticky seal part, I get so anxious. The Hot Sauce jewel case's bag was awful but the entire design besides of that was amazing.
I have the don’t fight the feeling packaging where it’s got a clear front with the spaceship on it and you can put the different planet postcards in the front of the contents so you can change the planet the spaceship has landed on and I’m a big fan of that packaging. 👍🏽 I am also bad at explaining that 😂
i don’t mind the attacca packaging, and i like the unit photobooks, at least w attacca they had diff concepts so i thought that was cool. my only gripe about christmas evel is that the flap won’t close,, i wish it had a magnet or something
Use an exacto knife to open Key’s album. You just need to cut along the perforated lines. You have to be careful not to stab too deep, but it will be clean and intact. Did it with my copy and it worked super well.
You are not bad at explaining, it's your opinion so you're welcome to use the words that you feel convey what you want to say! Had fun watching this though and I agree so much with Hello Future, one of my fav comebacks in a while only to have such flimsy packaging 😵💫
i think my favorite of this year was aespas savage (the book ver which i can’t remember what it’s called). it’s probably because i loved the concept photos but in general i really really liked how the photo book felt like a magazine
Personally I think ENHYPEN’s Boarder : Carnival has the best packaging. It’s so easy to open and it doesn’t give me anxiety unlike some other albums. I regularly open it because it’s such a good design.
This year "Summer Holiday Limited Edition" by Dreamcatcher 100% takes the cake for me. It has everything I love: rigid cover with a magnetic closure, plastic sleeve easy to remove with glitter words that actually complement the cover design, thick photobook with various concepts, good color palette, three photocards and other nice extras like the garland. It was 10/10. Out of the ones you mentioned I really liked the Queendom case version as well! That concept and colors match so well and the whole thing is compact but not cheap. Lovely.
Agreed with the majority, especially Pentagon, Nu’est, and TXT’s album. Pentagon’s my favorite group but their packaging never seems to disappoint, even with the WE:TH album it was unique. Nu’est felt plain and it felt empty. TXT’s we’re just hard to open and manage everything
I have Pentagon’s Love or Take album specifically the mild version (the violet one) and I definitely agree that it really has the best album packaging I have ever had last 2021♥️ Anyways, Pentagon is coming back on January 24th. Please support them♥️
i feel like anyone could of either missed or succeeded (no in between) with a christmas album packaging and stray kids succeeded wonderfully! it’s cute how the front also looks like its a wrapped present & they did something different showcasing the photo book which i loved! overall skz never miss 😌
funny story when i got my attacca albums, i bought them thinking they could fit where i had my other svt albums but it was just slightly taller so i frustratingly kinda hit it against my shelf while sending a video of it to friends being very frustrated that i now had to move around my albums TT
you really don't need to put so many disclaimers in your videos. it's okay to dislike or even hate albums/groups/songs and if people don't get that it's your own personal opinion then that's their problem
Aespa is by far my favorite, the big versions look like a futuristic fashion magazine from the 2000's, and the small version looks like a cool futuristic speaker
I ended up bought AESPA’s pos version too after album reviews lol but I honestly wish the plastic packaging is like a black translucent so it really feels like a black mamba concept
@@nasia3551 none of them tbh 😔😂 but im planning to buy the odysseus ver when i finally earn some money. edit : wait i forgot that ive just ordered the essential ver. cant wait for it to arrive :D
Wow😯 me encantó mucho el empaque de Pentagon, en serio se ve tan lindo no son fan de ese grupo pero si me gustaría coleccionar sus álbum en especial este. Al comienzo pensaba era ost de anime pero me encantó ví cuando abriste😌✨ el de Aespa tbm me encantó mucho 👌✨💖
cannot agree with the nct albums as for me, those photos in NCT dream photobook are looking so gorgeous just because the whole album was made in magazine style, I love it so much. a lot of additional stuff like photos, polaroids etc were made just for one unit. on the other hand this thing with universe photobook... I find it too simple. you have so many people in group, so you can create really cool stuff. but it just looks really a little bit better than NCT 2020 album future version (really disappointing one). this side binding looks poor even with the inscription. and one card for 21 member... can't even express my feeling about this
What sites do you recommend for buying albums from? I love this video! KPOP album packaging is so diverse and definitely has its best and… not so best moments :)
i haaaate nearly everything about attacca aside from the music and photo concepts lol there’s so many blank pages and wasted space, hard to store, at target every single album i saw was all cracked down the spine and in the corners 😩😩 and the inclusions are just everywhere i was stressed opening and closing it lol
i loved skz's album packaging, i just wished they added a magnet where you open it cause the cover doesn't stay in place when you display it unless you have a bookend or something heavy to keep it still
yeah. i’m honestly thinking abt making some sort of magnet contraption myself rn coz i can’t display it 😭😭
i received it today and it's exactly what i thought
exactly omg😭
this is exactly what I thought! the christmas evel packaging is great (much better than noeasy) except that one point
Yess THIS
Key's album packaging is legendary tbh
I agree! Normally I don’t like the magazine style albums, but it fits Key perfectly imo.😃
Pentagon and Aespa really snapped with their album packaging this year! they look absolutely stunning!💖
SM packaging really unique this year.. I love most of them especially joy hello, EXO DFTF, RV Queendom girls ver, aespa case ver, key bad love box..
that pentagon album is the most beautiful album i’ve ever seen wow
also we should definitely talk about kpop album packaging more, because i feel like it lowkey affects whether i buy an album/stan a group sometimes
graphic designer or not, I think you did a wonderful job in explaining your favourite and least favourite packaging! it's always so interesting to see the differences & similarities in people's tastes when it comes to art because it can be so subjective!! love this video katie!!
i totally agree!! it’s always nice hearing everyone’s personal opinions about what they like and dislike^^ thanks maria! 💕
another detail about Pentagon's LOT album, is that they added all of Pentagon's music releases on the back flap of the member cover
Pentagon's love or take album was my first ever kpop album purchase. 😍
It looks so amazing I want one 🙃
i agree with the huge ass sm album ones!! having shinee's don't call me & atlantis albums next to their older releases just kinda looks odd because of how large they are. idk wtf they were thinking but its alright bc shinee literally had one of the best releases of 2021
I'm glad Key took some extra time to make the album perfect. It was so worth waiting in the end
I'm one of those persons that wants Pentagon's album just because looks like a manga
same
same
I love the Stray Kids album, it seems like you are opening a gift💚 simply wonderful
my personal favorite was soyeon’s windy. absolute cutest packaging I’ve ever seen and love that she fought to have the happy meal look. and also joy’s photobook version of hello for all the reasons you mentioned
least favorite definitely queens version queendom again and return of the girl by everglow. it doesn’t seem like it’d be bad but anyone with this album knows that it is packed TIGHT. many of my friends had to damage the album just to get it out of the slip
I can't get mine back in, not with the poster anyway. What were they thinking?!
Agree re: Windy! Super creative and cute!
Yess I agree>< I really love soyeon windy packaging. Super fun and cute >
omg frr, i got everglow's return of the girl album for christmas and i swear it took me 2 freaking days to open it without damaging the album. i don't know what was yuehua thinking when they did this and it's a shame bc i loved the entire album.

yes to pentagon !!! have you seen their new logo/rebranding for their comeback?? it feels like the new song is going to be dr bebe + daisys love child 🥴💓
i did!! i’m so excited they’re having a comeback 😭💕
Not really a fan of the logo, but I’m sooo excited for this comeback!
I honestly really like how loona sticks to one type of packaging. It’s very aesthetically pleasing when put on shelves
I personally like -R-'s album because of how aesthetically pleasing it is, but COL, QUEENDOM, and some others (which I forgot) had a really good packaging.
17:54 THIS !!! i literally gave up on buying the queens version of the album because i wouldn't be able to display it properly 😭 i went with the girls version and bought yeri's inclusions separately, i have trouble dispalying my skz levanter album THIS THING WOULD HAVE TO BE HANG UP ON MY WALL OR SOMETHING
The small red velvet album looks like a polly pocket!! So cute

but we dont talk about the jewel cases.
i didn't even stan pentagon but i decided to bought their love or take album because i watch your video, i just want have the romantic version but ended up bought all three version
My fave packaging this year would be:
- R - (ROSÉ)
Bad Love (KEY)
Love or Take (Pentagon)
Lilac (IU)
DFTF (EXO)
TBOU:N (DAY6)
I don't have to list my least fave ones coz It would be too hard...
aespa's Case Version is just so cool and I love it
SMs Case Versions are so pretty especially the Aespa version cause they included technology in there with the AR cd so genius
Also Nct 2021! The clear skin looks so good on the shelf (the title on the side is so present and clear) and it holds everything together so it’s "stiff". And because of the binding you can open the pages completely/180degrees so nice to look through
I really love these types of videos. It's so entertaining to hear others thoughts about an artist's album packaging!
25:10 YES OMG- txt is my ult group but the packaging for both this album and minisode 1 are so difficult to open 😭 i feel like im breaking it every time i try to look through it, my blue hour album is almost breaking off just from opening it already
Not all SM album packaging is my favourite, but all of their album graphic is totally my favorite. SM graphic design totally on next level...
Pentagon's album packaging is just masterpiece
I find it generally is quite the hassle to get to the cds in kpop albums (except for jewel cases) so I store my cds separately in a cd book 😅
same! it's 100 times easier to get to CDs that way
Wow joy photobook looks so pretty😍 my personal fav this year pentagon, Lalisa Gold Ver, Treasure 1st full album, cosmos Hanbin

SM has made some of my favorites and some of the worst packaging ever done in my years of collecting
thanks for the video! i definitely agree with the larger packaging, especially when it’s so floppy it’s so difficult to store :/ looking forward for your next upload, have a great day!
NOOO WAYYYY I CLICKED THE VIDEO COZ I THOUGHT PENTAGON’s ALBUM WAS A MANHWA LIKE WHAT’S A MANHWA DOING IN AN ALBUM UNBOXING?? SO SHOCKED I WANT ONE TY

Key's packaging is, hands down, the indisputable best of 2021. But I'm surprised that Astro's Switch On was not mentioned.
i know you always do your best to avoid triggering the nut jobs so I appreciate your honesty with this video.
PLEASE DO MORE OF THESE TYPE OF VIDEOS!!! IT HELPS ME ADD TO MY ALBUM WISHLIST AND YOU REVIEW THEM SO WELL, LOVE UR VIDS
Top 3 for me would be the pentagon packaging, Key's Bad Love and EXO's DFTF
I swear the inpact that concept of Joys album had, everyone and their mother edited their idols into this concept
Love or take album literally looks like a manga I love the aesthetic
when they revealed the versions for the queendom album I thought the queen version would be like the size of the guidebook ver for the reve festival, I was kinda hoping it was because its soo big to store in the shelf
Romanticize’s packaging reminds me of Astro’s Gateway album 🤔
Pentagon’s Love or Take is definitely my fav packaging 🏆
Isn't love or take looks like exo's the war album..
Isn't love or take looks like exo's the war album..

me being torn being a pentagon and nu’est stan, with nu’est usual book packaging turning into this flimsy box packaging with five versions vs me actually collecting all 24 copies of love or take with all the member covers (fun fact that shinwon and wooseok actually mentioned if you’re called out for buying so many albums you can just pretend they’re manga books 😂)
i need to say thank u to irene & seulgi bc both of them had a hand in designing the case ver. packaging that we see in rv & æspa albums today (it was exclusively used for rv albums from monster onwards until they used it for savage as well)
Omg. Idc if it’s 2 am right now. This content got me so curiouuuus! I might get fall asleep along the way, so I’ll continue to finish it later in the morning. Anyway, thank you so much for this! Happy holidays and advance Happy New Year! 💙
i love the skz album. Looks like a present the color is so pretty too and the photobook is wonderful❤💚
WHAT A GREAT YEAR IT HAD BEEN
Pentagons album was the best thing cube ever did
Facts
BAG. PACKAGING. IS. MY. LEAST. FAVORITE. Every time I reopen the sticky seal part, I get so anxious. The Hot Sauce jewel case's bag was awful but the entire design besides of that was amazing.
I enjoy these kinds videos so much, so glad you uploaded one💗
I have the don’t fight the feeling packaging where it’s got a clear front with the spaceship on it and you can put the different planet postcards in the front of the contents so you can change the planet the spaceship has landed on and I’m a big fan of that packaging. 👍🏽 I am also bad at explaining that 😂
it's version 1 right?? i have one too! its so cool
@@kyczenniel2521 it was the first and only album I have pre-ordered without doing an research or watching any unboxings and no regrets!
I loved seeing your opinions, this aespa album is really beautiful, probably the most beautiful jewel version I've ever seen
i don’t mind the attacca packaging, and i like the unit photobooks, at least w attacca they had diff concepts so i thought that was cool. my only gripe about christmas evel is that the flap won’t close,, i wish it had a magnet or something
Use an exacto knife to open Key’s album. You just need to cut along the perforated lines. You have to be careful not to stab too deep, but it will be clean and intact. Did it with my copy and it worked super well.
You are not bad at explaining, it's your opinion so you're welcome to use the words that you feel convey what you want to say! Had fun watching this though and I agree so much with Hello Future, one of my fav comebacks in a while only to have such flimsy packaging 😵💫
the girl version of queendom reminds me of those little polly pocket sets you could get
That's exactly where my head went!
i think my favorite of this year was aespas savage (the book ver which i can’t remember what it’s called). it’s probably because i loved the concept photos but in general i really really liked how the photo book felt like a magazine
When you brought up the TXT album, all the nightmares I had of every time I opened it came back to me
Pentagon's album looks really amazing, lol I'm gonna buy it ") + broke
RV case series is definitely one of a kind!
i really love this video and i love hearing your thoughts about the packaging!
Personally I think ENHYPEN’s Boarder : Carnival has the best packaging. It’s so easy to open and it doesn’t give me anxiety unlike some other albums. I regularly open it because it’s such a good design.
Key's Bad Love is just Legendary Key's Brain is legendary!!
It hurts me to say this because he’s my ult, but the packaging for Jay B’s solo album was TRAGIC 😩
as someone who also ults jayb. I AGREE COMPLETELY
SM really didn't put much effort in hello future Sticker and favourite and jewel cases (except aespa jewel case)
This year "Summer Holiday Limited Edition" by Dreamcatcher 100% takes the cake for me. It has everything I love: rigid cover with a magnetic closure, plastic sleeve easy to remove with glitter words that actually complement the cover design, thick photobook with various concepts, good color palette, three photocards and other nice extras like the garland. It was 10/10.
Out of the ones you mentioned I really liked the Queendom case version as well! That concept and colors match so well and the whole thing is compact but not cheap. Lovely.
Agreed with the majority, especially Pentagon, Nu’est, and TXT’s album. Pentagon’s my favorite group but their packaging never seems to disappoint, even with the WE:TH album it was unique. Nu’est felt plain and it felt empty. TXT’s we’re just hard to open and manage everything
i loves the we:th almost so much the photos were gorgeous
I have Pentagon’s Love or Take album specifically the mild version (the violet one) and I definitely agree that it really has the best album packaging I have ever had last 2021♥️ Anyways, Pentagon is coming back on January 24th. Please support them♥️
i feel like anyone could of either missed or succeeded (no in between) with a christmas album packaging and stray kids succeeded wonderfully! it’s cute how the front also looks like its a wrapped present & they did something different showcasing the photo book which i loved! overall skz never miss 😌
You did an amazing job explaining and I loved hearing all your opinions! I 100% agreed with everything you said
Bad Love- Key's packaging is my favourite!
SM has really been snapping with these case versions ‼️‼️‼️
it’s been a while since the last time i watched ur video, finally! i love all the albums especially stray kidz and aespa’s
funny story when i got my attacca albums, i bought them thinking they could fit where i had my other svt albums but it was just slightly taller so i frustratingly kinda hit it against my shelf while sending a video of it to friends being very frustrated that i now had to move around my albums TT
anyone else just really loved the album packaging for enhypens dimension dilemma album or is it just me :]
like ik its basic but i really like it
you really don't need to put so many disclaimers in your videos. it's okay to dislike or even hate albums/groups/songs and if people don't get that it's your own personal opinion then that's their problem
Aespa is by far my favorite, the big versions look like a futuristic fashion magazine from the 2000's, and the small version looks like a cool futuristic speaker
Pentagon album packaging the best😍🥰
I’m agree with the ripping open of Bad Love Space Ray version! But I couldn’t bring myself to do it LOL
I ended up bought AESPA’s pos version too after album reviews lol but I honestly wish the plastic packaging is like a black translucent so it really feels like a black mamba concept
my fav is enhypen dimension dilemma. idk how to explain but its just how all albums should be packaged
Do you have all versions?
@@nasia3551 none of them tbh 😔😂 but im planning to buy the odysseus ver when i finally earn some money.
edit : wait i forgot that ive just ordered the essential ver. cant wait for it to arrive :D
@@anisafza9493 nice! I will probably get charybdis ver
red velvets queendom packaging will forever be my villian origan story cardboard box packaging in general
Wow😯 me encantó mucho el empaque de Pentagon, en serio se ve tan lindo no son fan de ese grupo pero si me gustaría coleccionar sus álbum en especial este. Al comienzo pensaba era ost de anime pero me encantó ví cuando abriste😌✨ el de Aespa tbm me encantó mucho 👌✨💖
cannot agree with the nct albums
as for me, those photos in NCT dream photobook are looking so gorgeous just because the whole album was made in magazine style, I love it so much. a lot of additional stuff like photos, polaroids etc were made just for one unit. on the other hand this thing with universe photobook... I find it too simple. you have so many people in group, so you can create really cool stuff. but it just looks really a little bit better than NCT 2020 album future version (really disappointing one). this side binding looks poor even with the inscription.
and one card for 21 member... can't even express my feeling about this
What sites do you recommend for buying albums from? I love this video! KPOP album packaging is so diverse and definitely has its best and… not so best moments :)
Love or Take is really cool album design wow, I haven't listen to them before but this made me curious :)
THE STRUGGLE ON GETTING TCC:FREEZE CD IS REAL. GODDAMN.
i haaaate nearly everything about attacca aside from the music and photo concepts lol there’s so many blank pages and wasted space, hard to store, at target every single album i saw was all cracked down the spine and in the corners 😩😩 and the inclusions are just everywhere i was stressed opening and closing it lol
