Do you open your k-pop CD's?

Yep. I personally like looking at the photo books a lot, not as interested in photocards

I've shared many times before but I don't even open my albums lol.

The only time I've opened it a little is my Blackpink and Nayeon albums because they have autograph but it's on a card so I had to be sure it was in there but it's one of those resealable packagings and I just reseal it lol

yes. always.

i'm in disbelief that people don't open them tbh it's so much fun to me

i tear mine open like a christmas present. i put the photocards in an album, i spend time looking through the photobooks and go "waaaoooowww!! so pretty!!" then i wrap everything up in bubble wrap to go into storage until i have a place to display everything

i do

Yes. I don’t buy stuff to sit around. My cds are played in my car, sometimes in my office, sometime I take them to workout class with me and definitely pack some to travel with

yeah i don't see them becoming as valuable as like pokemon cards over time so no point in not opening

Yeah ill be honest, im quite surprised myself, they hold no value so theres no reason to keep it in pristine condition.

But I know also from experience in the past that I usually don't look back over the stuff like this so now just sitting in the original box it ships with because I have nowhere to put it lol

Of course, all the interesting stuff is on the inside.

yeah unless you're putting them on a bookshelf or smth there's not a lot you can do with them lol

Quote from SooYoung

of course i don't see the purpose of buying things and not looking at them

it's not fun to buy album just to buy them if you can't even have the thrill to discover who's on your photocard, and look at the photobook

Well, there are people who buys them and then throws them in the trash bin

Why did this make me think of the guy who got to pay a fine 3 years ago after he trew 400 CDs in the forest of Fukuoka in Japan just cause he wanted to have enough CDs to be able to join a special event you can only go to if you have some random cards from the CDs ... jesus people are so wastefull

I answered 'No' - because there is nothing to open.

Regarding my music collection I'm a Digital Native - I buy only digital audio. Apart from my favorite bands/soloists I often buy only the songs from an album that I like.

I know that this is unusual for an older guy like me. Other music fans in my age love their huge Record and CD collection. But I prefer digital music nowadays. It can be archived/backuped easily, I can create playlists of the songs the way I want. I can hear my music anywhere, anytime. I don't need to buy a complete CD when I only like two or three songs on it. I don't need to rip CDs first to get MP3s of the songs. And often digital albums are cheaper, so I get a few albums for the price of one CD.

I know that K-Pop listeners love their Special Editions with all the posters and photocards of their idols. I'm absolutely fine with this - enjoy your passion for music!

But please don't save on the wrong place. For example you need good and healthy food - don't have low-quality meals, because you want to buy another edition of a special album. No K-Pop group in this universe (not even Blackpink) is worth such self-neglect.

Ok, it happened. I sounded like your parents.

Yes I am curious what is inside, but barely touch them after then. I think I am gonna quit buying albums because those are pretty worthless to me.
