Does kpop consider a two song release a mini album? (Lazy Cheating?)

Does that even qualify to be a mini album? Wouldn't a mini album need at least four songs? or am I tripping? I feel like it's cheating LOL

What do you think?

Quote from Valenttinna

How is it cheating when its more like a bad thing than a good thing?

Because they can throw that title of "Mini album" but it's not really, it's just two singles, kindda

Quote from Valenttinna

But.. what’s the big difference? I don’t understand why would it affect anything?

It's just better in terms or releases, If an artist kept realising singles, that's not really a good look, but if they were mixing it up then It comes across better, But if a artist released a mini album that had less Than 4 songs, it's almost like cheating ish

Quote from omnimorphism

Do they? They usually call it single album. They call it mini-album (Extended Play) when it has 4 or more songs.

Yeah I think you're right, but I don't think everyone uses that name, but technically a mini should be no less than four songs

Quote from gerrard174

who are you referring to?

If you are referring to Rosé, it is a Single album. A single album consists of a title track + a B side.

It has been done in western quite frequently. Most of the established western artist release Single Album whenever they drop a single.

Oh yeah rose kinda did that too, but nah was referring too Stayc, I thought they released A mini album, but it only has two songs, but it's actually a single album, but some people still say it's a mini

Quote from Tic_tac_toe

I mean no. For example you need 6 songs to be eligible to win in some award show. I forgot which one.

Anyway mini albums itself is a vague term. For some groups a mini is up to 8/9 songs when that’s a full album for EXO. So like it was never really clear in the first place.

Yeah I think this is it, it's very vague, but I think the actual definition is between 4 - 6 songs
