iKON's newest album won't have any photocards. Is this the beginning?

It will affect their album sales somewhat

Wut?

It's better if it NFT thing, just like GD goes with USB for his last solo album

Do you collect Yoshi's?

No. I only have his evil baby card aka. The Only Photocard That Matters.

Edit: I forgot about the card that came with his digipack.

there are postcard + photo stickers + polaroids. They work same as photocards

i collect a lot of groups. The more cards the merrier

Yes, in SM albums we usually get 1 pc + 1 photocard/circle card/lenticular (recently)/ID

The only albums that contain 2 pc were: NCT Dream's Hout Sauce and one of Savage (aespa) versions. This is from albums i've seen. Maube there are other SM acts that had more cards that i'm not aware

All savage albums come with 1 regular photocard + 1 special photocard (AR or lenticulars)

Quote from laleria

I consider POS version as with 2 photocards, cause it looks and feels as normal photocard in binder in comparison to lenticulars/ids. But you are right, it's technically AR card.

Still a photocard. Lenticulars are still photocards and they're same size as photocards. Nowadays photocards are no longer restricted to paper photocards, there are things like ID cards (like you mentioned), lenticulars, sticker photocards, instax, photocard-sized polaroid. So yeah, they all fit nicely into the photocard binder

I feel like i talk with another photocard stan

Yes, they fit the binder, but lenticular cards/IDs are usualy made from different material and they are more heavy than usual paper photocard, I don't really enjoy collecting IDs and lenticular Sticker photocards are usually thinner that normal paper photocards and I don't like them as well. I really like AR cards (I have only SM-made AR cards), but SM app to read this AR cards does not work on my new phone (crashing all the time )

I'm a photocard stan

I collect OT4 Blackpink and OT4 aespa mainly

iKon was never big with physical sales anyway, doubt this matters much unless they do the same with other groups too

never understood photo cards they are just pictures printed

the only time I've ever spent money on kpop is a Jo yuri album and I didn't even collect it from the organizer

Since there’s almost no ikon threads here amma just drop this magazine cover w BI. Glad to see he’s keeping busy
