NewJeans albums, including their Weverse versions, are generating significant interest among fans due to their unique concepts and meticulously designed packaging. The group's distinct aesthetic is consistently reflected in their physical album releases, offering fans a comprehensive and engaging experience beyond just the music.
The debut EP "New Jeans" was released in multiple formats, such as the Bluebook, Weverse, and Bag versions. The Bluebook version typically includes an outbox, logbook, pin-up book, phonning manual book, ID card, sticker pack, photocard, and mini poster. In contrast, the Weverse album, often priced lower at around 11,000 KRW compared to the Bluebook's 18,900 KRW, focuses on essential components like an outbox, lyrics, photocard, and QR card, notably omitting the logbook and pin-up book. Later releases like "How Sweet" adopted an LP-sized format, featuring a large photobook, interview book, mini poster, CD, sticker pack, photocards, and Weverse special benefits such as a group photocard and photo frame.
Local bloggers frequently share their satisfaction with the albums' generous inclusions, such as multiple photocards for each member and high-quality photobooks that are described as magazine-like. The LP-sized albums are particularly praised for their aesthetic appeal as interior decor. Creative elements like the ID card, which evokes a 2000s sensibility, and the cute, colorful CD designs are highlighted as unique touches that resonate deeply with fans, making the unboxing experience enjoyable.
