📀K-POP Albums Evolving in Various Forms
The album has evolved in various forms~ There are so many versions like photobooks, digipacks, and kits that KforU might be confused about which version to buy. So, we've prepared an album version manual📚!
  • Photobook ver.
    First, we have the typical album that includes a photobook and a CD, which we're all familiar with.
JEON SOMI - EP ALBUM [GAME PLAN] (PHOTOBOOK Ver.) (Random Ver.)
NCT DREAM - The 3rd Album [ISTJ] (Photobook Ver.) (Random Ver.)
  • Case Ver. / Digipack Ver.
    This is the plastic case version or paper case version that we are familiar with, the basic CD formats.
SEULGI - The 1st Mini Album [28 Reasons] (Case Ver.)
NMIXX - 2nd Single Album [ENTWURF] (Jewel Case Ver.) (Random Ver.)
IVE - THE 1st EP [I'VE MINE] (Digipack Ver.) (Limited Edition) (Random Ver.)
EVNNE - 1st Mini Album [Target: ME] (Digipack ver.) (Random Ver.)
As the K-POP industry continues to grow, album sales have been increasing every year.
However, there are concerns about the environmental impact due to the difficulty of recycling album materials. To address these issues, recent changes have been made in album production to promote eco-friendly K-POP culture. The starting point for these changes is the 'platform format’.
