yes..
yes..
can they bring back the eyeliner..
Sad they stuck her with rapping mostly on f(x) songs her voice is way better singing 😭
Really love the box packaging; it’s sturdy and feels luxurious. Sad the photobook is loose pages (it comes with a carabiner to stick through them or the paper keyrings) though but still 😭 Love the retro styling on this particular version.
BIBI / EVE: ROMANCE 🍎
One of my fave releases from last year. Was so refreshing to see a fr full length album drop, Bibi’s got a spectacular voice and if you like krnb check her out.

Happy Birthday Jude I hope you have one of the best birthdays ever 🫂❤️❤️❤️
CONGRATS that’s such an amazing offer omg ❤️
Love a hardback book so no complaints here, being white it gets a bit dusty etc easily and it’s old..the photoshoot is mostly leftover MV photos I think not like the Ex’Act photobook that had different photoshoots depending on the version you bought.
EXO / Lotto 🎱
I love this repackage a lot and ‘Lotto’ is so good ok it’s fun sleazy dance music with a fanfiction type MV. Made an already perfect album better.
Faves: Lotto, Lucky One, Monster, Artificial Love, Cloud 9, Can’t Bring Me Down, One & Only, Heaven, She’s Dreaming, They Never Know
forgot these had magnetic hands 😭💎
Tysm!! Finally got around to making a shinee keyring I’m sad they didn’t get more sminis.. 😔
Another style of SM packaging I do like; these smaller A5 (?) photobooks. Really lovely paper used for the photobook but you can see the cover ink has kind of faded a bit. I have Krystal and Victoria’s versions (both orange / blue).
f(x) / 4Walls 🟧🟦
An essential album imo, just a classic. SM were heavy into their disco and house phase and it was perfect for them. Back to back hits. I adore how ‘Glitter’ sounds like video game music.
Faves: 4Walls, Glitter, X, Rude Love, Diamond, Traveller, When I’m Alone
It’s the same packaging as Sunmi’s album; big hardback book. I got this under the assumption it was opened for $5 secondhand but it arrived fully sealed 😭 scary stuff but I was really lucky and everything was of one of my biases, Yesung 🐈⬛ this is the one more chance version with more casual pics.
Super Junior / PLAY 🕴️
Love this album despite some of my faves being missing (Kyuhyun + Ryeowook) it gave others a chance to have some lines. Jazzy title track and great variety of b sides.
Faves: Black Suit, Scene Stealer, One More Chance, Runaway, The Lucky Ones, Girlfriend, I Do, Too Late
makes me mad a bit they didn’t let Amber sing more than rap she sounded better singing..
Giving Jinki the king piece bc he’s the leader naturally
Genuinely so evil that Siwon wasn’t there for the PLAY album but they still took photos of him and everything for the book + photocards 💀
4Walls on my stereo I’m seeing colours
once again celebrating my perfect loop
CDs and arts and crafts time 👍
Beautiful packaging. A large hardback book with a dust sleeve that also acts as a poster if you turn it inside out. The pages are stitched together too. I moved the CD to a case bc even though it’s secure in the album she really child / adult proofed taking it out 😭💀
Sunmi / Warning 💜
She had a trio of back to back hits on here (Gashina, Siren, Heroine) fantastic EP but sadly still short..I wish she waited a bit so she could put ‘Noir’ on it.
Faves: Siren, Gashina, Heroine, Black Pearl, Secret Tape, Addict
I put d&e’s variety show on in the evening lately for background noise and she goes crazy whenever he pops up on the screen it kills me
I genuinely cannot believe he’s not knee high anymore omg
Right bc they were def fishing for something with the cowboy fits and packaging..😭 you know I liked the verses then the fuckass chorus would start again dndndjjg
The way the rest of this album had nothing to do with that bullshit
Just heard beat it up for the first time 😔
