SEVENTEEN's album covers and packaging are a significant point of interest for fans, ranging from their aesthetic appeal on magazine covers to the physical aspects of collecting and organizing their album releases. This engagement stems from the group's diverse album concepts and the dedicated fan culture surrounding physical album collection.
SEVENTEEN members Jeonghan and Joshua recently graced the cover of Chinese fashion magazine 'Ellemen China' for its August issue, showcasing a "duality" theme. In interviews, they discussed how their music and albums aim to provide comfort and joy to their fans, Carats. Concurrently, fans are actively engaged in collecting and organizing SEVENTEEN's physical albums, such as the 10th Mini Album 'FML' Carat version, which features distinct concepts like a "groom" theme and the "Son Oh Gong" concept. Bloggers meticulously measure albums like '17CARAT', 'BOYS BE', and 'LOVE&LETTER' for protective packaging, highlighting the variety in album dimensions across different versions.
Local bloggers express their enjoyment in the process of "album unboxing" (앨범깡), particularly for Carat versions, and share tips on preserving their collections with OPP packaging. The detailed measurements and descriptions of various album versions, along with the excitement over random photocards, reflect the deep personal connection and meticulous care fans invest in their SEVENTEEN merchandise. This active fan engagement underscores the value fans place on both the visual presentation and the physical artifacts of SEVENTEEN's music.
