SEVENTEEN Album Sets: Unboxing New Releases and Unit Promotions

In Korea, SEVENTEEN's album releases, including their 12th mini-album 'SPILL THE FEELS' and unit V8 (The8 x Vernon) albums, are generating significant buzz. The core driving reason for this excitement stems from the diverse marketing strategies employed, such as offering multiple album versions (general, special bundles, photocard versions) and event-specific editions linked to fan meetings or listening parties. These varied options encourage fans to purchase album sets, often leading to multiple copies of the same release.

Specific details from recent releases include SEVENTEEN's 2024 mini-album 'SPILL THE FEELS,' which features unique packaging like the transparent plastic cover of the 'FEEL NEW Ver.' and includes items such as stickers, stamps, and CDs. The unit V8, consisting of The8 and Vernon, released an album that was available in various formats, including a compact version praised for its portability and a Weverse version. The V8 album contents typically include a V8 logo sticker, random photocards, a mini photobook, and a CD, with the title track being 'singasong.' This unit also held concerts in Goyang KINTEX and actively promoted on music shows, where album set purchases were often a prerequisite for application.

Local bloggers share authentic impressions, highlighting the "dopamine-inducing" experience of unboxing album sets and the joy of pulling desired photocards. They appreciate the convenience of compact album versions for storage. Fans also discuss the challenges of participating in events like all-standing unit concerts or securing spots for music show recordings, often requiring the purchase of multiple albums. Bloggers express personal preferences for member aesthetics, such as Vernon's long hair and "nerd-chic" look, and share their enthusiasm for specific songs and visuals from the albums.
