IVE's album releases consistently generate significant buzz among fans, primarily driven by the anticipation for new music and the desire to collect various album versions and exclusive inclusions. Pre-order schedules and detailed content lists are key points of interest for fans looking to secure their copies and special benefits.
Upcoming releases like the EP [Looks Can Kill] are structured with multiple versions, such as "GIRL HERO ver.", "HERO COMICS ver.", and "HERO ON SET ver.", each containing distinct items like photo books, CDs, stickers, postcards, and randomized photocards. Pre-order benefits often include additional exclusive items like paper masks or folded posters. The first full album, "I've IVE Jewel Limited Edition," is highlighted for its special Skull Day特典 photocards and is often found in the 100,000 KRW price range. Japanese albums, such as "LUCID DREAM First Press Limited Edition I," also offer unique configurations, including 12-page booklets, limited-time photocards (one random out of six), and event serial codes, alongside Japanese versions of tracks.
Local bloggers emphasize that fans prioritize collecting specific member photocards and unique limited editions, making it essential to carefully review the detailed contents and pre-order benefits before purchasing. While general albums or photocard sets are typically available for 10,000-20,000 KRW, special limited editions with more extensive inclusions can reach 100,000 KRW. Fans are advised to verify package safety, the inclusion of specific items, and any event conditions prior to purchase, as satisfaction can depend on individual preferences for members or photocard versions.
