Then again I have never bought an album in my entire life lol
If the photobook is ass I will not buy it
1) Album photobook
2) PC
I may be the only one who doesn’t like posters it’s huge and I’ll never put this on my wall
I do not have a CD player, so I have to buy the musical content on Itunes, so ranking everything else

3. photocards

Except for Key's bad love
the toy gun versions packaging>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> everything else
It was no longer about whats inside but what it was put inside of
1. Photobook, photocards and packaging in general
2. Lyric book, members' thank you messages and credits - it's interesting to read through them
3. CD/musical content - when I started buying albums I gave priority to the albums I liked the most musically. However, since I don't own a CD player, I don't buy albums to actually play them from the CD.
4. Posters - I don't care about them. If possible I buy my albums without posters

Do you not care about the music you get?
Also the posters look cute, but realistically, I don't have the space either.
1. I have to like the majority of the songs
2. I usually have to like the MVs (even though they are usually not part of the package)
3. photobook (scans help me decide which version of the physical I want)
I don't care about photocards, posters, and stickers but it is nice when I get my ult and/or bias wreckers in the pull.
My favorite kpop fan merch ever is a plushie.

1. Agree
2. I don't give a fuck about the MV as long as the songs are bangers
3. Actually agree, since the concept photos give hints to the photobook contents
It's cool when I pull my bias too, I don't have gripes if I don't get them.

I don't get physicals since they just sit on a shelf, and I don't have a CD player.
1. The album must have at least 4 original songs. (Less I consider it as a scam)

For me it's gotta be about 75%.
I can't buy single albums, why would I spend that much money on less than 4 songs? Agree.

Well.

2. Supporting the artist

I have to like 75% or more of the physical album to buy it. Otherwise, I'll just stream what I like and buy the digitals as a backup.

Makes me wonder why companies don't sell photobooks more often since K-pop fans love visuals.
1. Photobook
2. Extra creative content related to the concept of the album
3. Packaging
4. Photocards
6. Poster
7. CD
Tbh, I don't even have CD player so I never use it, I buy as a collector. When my albums arrive, I already looped the CD 800x on Apple Music
For my fave groups I just buy it regardless of the content.
For my casual groups
1. The songs.
2. Album Packaging
3. Photobook/PC
1. It's from a group I really, really like.
I guess I do prioritize getting the most songs because I do actually have a CD player in my car that's has Resonance Part 2 in it since March.
I'm not a collector so things like photocards, postcards, stickers, bookmarks, etc just get left in the album the way it was packaged. When it comes to picking a version, I usually go with the one with the best photos overall.

1. LMAO yeah, I don't buy albums from groups I don't stan (yet)
I'm not a collector either, I need one version that has the best color theme and photos.

I have to buy a CD player, I want HQ versions of my fave music in a physical format.
I don't know what it looks like besides the outside since my local bookstore has a copy on display for purchase.
Makes me wonder why companies don't sell photobooks more often since K-pop fans love visuals.
Yeah, most companies include tiny booklets with their albums or simply no extra photos at all, only photocards and occasionally posters They would get much more sales if they just included a simple photobook (JK, KPOP stans are simps and would buy their favs merch anyways)
I was pretty disappointed with Still Dreaming
The photobooks weren't even photobooks, they were basically just short tiny booklets So I spent 30 bucks on 2 CDS. no photobook no photocards, ughhh
Photobooks should have 300 pictures minimum

That would raise the price of shipping, heigher weight is more expensive to ship since different methods of transport are used.

There is a notable difference from most streaming imo, even over the same speakers. Its definitely worth it if you already buy albums

I know, you can hear so much more on a CD. Bass hits differently
low shipping cost

I still buy CDs to play them in my car, all of that other stuff I couldn't care less about it(except I finally did get a Jimin card in my Butter CD, I'd never gotten one before so that was a little cool). I give some of it away like the stickers, I put my CDs in clam cases and the album box goes on my shelf and I don't really open it again.
