the actual ticket, or an advertisement for it? Because if it's just a little pull out ad that's normal for literally every label.

I don't understand your problem if it's not at random, though. If the point of the package is to buy the ticket and get the album as a bonus, that's totally different...

Its an actual ticket. They saved it for the album since all the tckts were selling out. Want a bigbang ticket? U can get it for free on GD's album and much cheaper!!! You don't even need to enter japan's lottery system to get a tour ticket, one time deal!

Its also a cheap ploy because once one member gets ugly or in a huge scandal, they become useless.

1Its also a cheap ploy because once one member gets ugly or in a huge scandal, they become useless. 2And you aren't gaining any new fans by doing that. The fangirls get older and move on from that boy group, you gonna see a much larger decline than they are when they are 18 living off of mom and dad and buying 24 copies of EXO album.

1Whats the chances of that happening though? You could say that to any idol group. I think you're thinking too much into it. Its more to maximize on sales, which is directed towards their large fan base. . .


2Why does that matter though? Its just different editions of an album cover after all, it isn't particularly designed to attract new fans.

You're basically describing the life span of an idol group, except for a few exceptions of course. They come and go. Also, it doesn't matter to SM 'cause by the time those fangirls have grown SM has already sucked off their tons and tons of profit coins from their bank accounts.

this is news to me tbh

awkward but I mean

I don't really like it when any company does that kind of thing (random giveaways/multiple versions with no useful difference) to sell albums

like I didn't really like the fact there were different versions of the "ALIVE" album but whatever

I'm only joking around w/EXO, hence the AKB48 pictures...

[Rominho.]

I'm buying Baekgod's version only.

[qmpierre]

Maybe because I'm conservative with my money, ploys like that annoy me.

Nobody forces anyone to buy all the different editions though.
I mean if Samsung releases a new phone with 5 different colored designs, is that Samsung ripping people off too?

I mean if they have the money, go in and buy all the copies but that's up to them

[IamCY]

If the fans are willing, I think milking a group at their peak is expected and acceptable
If I do buy, Suho-sus will get my coins

[Belle]

I totally get that nobody's forcing anyone to buy but it's like

I don't know

I understand business, I just don't like it because I'm an immature 12 year old lol

[Sanjja]

It also annoys me when they "repackage" an album only adding 2-3 songs.
**** that.

[Jack. Bauer]

The majority of EXO's stans won't be spending their own money to buy all 24 editions, that's my problem with it.

Edit: Also I get the whole "get whatever member you want" thing and I'm fine with the typical multiple covers, but to actually double it up by using two different colours when they'll probably be the same picture on the cover is practically extortion.

I mean...... these comments are getting tiring and foolish by now.

Let me buy all 24 versions then.

Make sure you have enough space for it on your cabinet sis.
How about a k-pop thread give away?


I call Xiumin or Luhan version

[HolierThanThou]

Just so you guys are aware, I'm assuming if you purchase the black album cover of any member you are buying the Chinese version of the album. Vice versa for the white cover

[SillyBandz]

I'm choking @ the blatant pandering tho.

I hope there's a huge difference between member copies otherwise it's a total rip off.

Oh well SM wants their won and they want it now.
