    my whole issue with the bts "photobook" is that it was ADVERTISED and MARKETED as a PHOTOBOOK. not as posters, not as newspaper thin photos. if it wasn't deceptively marketed as a normal photobook I would have no issue with it. Is it weird? yeah. do I like it? not really but I would have known what I was paying for. I saw the album specifics, I preordered the album under the impression I would be getting a photobook. not posters. a photobook. Aren't gonna make a real photobook for this album? Fine but don't lie to me to make me wanna buy it more

    Actually, just the fact you're paying for these albums gives you the right to complain about it. You paid for them, with your hard working money only to be disappointed with the packaging, in kpop that's like the cd coming damaged from the package🤷🏻‍♀️ I love the concept of photocards, but if I'm paying this amount of money for something so underwhelming, I'll wait until I can actually spend it without feeling worried about my bills People seem to forget sometimes that we aren't just fans, we are costumers (the only reason why I'm still thinking of buying it is because the album is amazing)

    For the UK, i’ve heard people say that the government or whoever is doing the law making thought that having individual photocards would result in bulk buying of the album as people would buy larger quantities to get the member they wanted. Bulk buying is considered as gambling somehow hence they removed the individual photocards. edit: so the law says an album cannot chart if there is something random inside it.

    I am so glad you did this video cause frankly THIS NEEDS TO BE SAID. I don't know about other people but I work very hard for my money so as a consumer who purchased something I firmly believe we should speak out when the quality of an album's packaging is bad or not to our liking. It doesn't mean we have an issue with the artist or with the music on the album though, and A LOT of stans seem to think the ones who make comments about not liking the quality are "attacking" the group when it isn't like that at all. If you love everything about an album or packaging then I think that is great. But please don't hate on the ones who don't agree with you cause that's just not it. And that's the tea, Sara Lee. Great video!

    yes! finally, someone's made a video about this. I always have an issue with 'clunky' album packaging and it's even worst when there's more than one version. there's absolutely no way bh made the album with the environment in mind, especially with all the unnecessary extras (the colouring sheet, the postcard, separate lyric book etc.) that could've easily not been included. It really does seem that bh is taking advantage of their customers, and I believe this even-more so due to how gfriend had standard kpop packaging rather than "environmentally friendly" packaging for crossroads - yes, gfriend is under source music but I 100% believe bh produced the album, especially with the film reel they included which was similar to the one in persona. This album was released recently and was in no way "environmentally friendly" - it was the same packaging as usual. people have the right to be mad at this, for the price it's extremely disappointing - there's no way to justify the packaging being this bad. bts is the biggest group right now, it's sad that bh has so many resources and potential to make extremely interesting and fun albums... but instead, they waste their profits to print colouring sheets. like?? hopefully, next comeback they'll improve like how seventeen decided to do smaller and thinner albums after the release of teenage, but we'll see.

    tara BigHit are taking advantage of Armys because they know most of us have already preordered the albums and will still buy albums with shit packaging. There’s nothing on the packaging that says the paper is recycled (if there is tell me where). I’ve noticed that BigHit’s less popular groups ie TXT and Gfriend have much better packaging. Another reason why BTS packaging may be bad is because BigHit couldn’t handle the vast numbers of pre orders. People are also having to wait longer for Weverse orders because of coronavirus. Coronavirus is so bad in Korea now that I think it’ll affect future Kpop album production but that’s a different topic.

    I feel like if the point was to have an environmentally friendly album they would have used it as a marketing tactic considering how big the topic is now due to global warming and such. Another thing with the photobook is that the official item description says it's just that: a photobook. Nowhere does it state that it is a bunch of folded posters and why on earth would they include a poster when they have tons of small posters? In my opinion fans decided that it is folded posters to quiet down everyone who dare to say anything negative about the product. You don't have to like everything the company puts out. Voicing out your complaints about a product you put your hard earned money on is not a bad thing.

Give the fans a plain white album with only one postcard, photocard and the teaser photos in poster form and that's it and people will still buy it in its hundreds of thousands. There are multiple ways they've shown this, but I'm not planning to get into a pissing war in the comments, so I'll leave it at that.

    I'm always so torn when I see stickers in an album. As a child of the 80's I'm used to collecting stickers and I ADORE them, but at the same time it's nearly impossible to use them for their intended purpose (which would be fun to do). When albums come with items that are intended to be used (like stickers, bookmarks, coloring pages, etc), it's hard to get past that feeling of "but this is part of the album and I don't want to ruin it." My favorite albums are generally the ones that are basically just photobooks that can easily be accessed on a shelf and flipped through from time to time, although it's fun to see how creative they can be with the album design and packaging!

    The BTS album contents was pathetic compared to any other album. Honestly , I'm so disappointed by the quality and although I didn't purchase one, I felt incredibly awful for new ARMY for this shit show. Its not worth the money... Like I paid significantly less for Love Yourself and it was 💯💯💯 percent better. BTS works really hard, but I felt like BigHit was really out here scamming folks after that

    I know a lot of Armys have said that mini posters were made instead of photobooks because BH is trying to be environmentally friendly, but I completely agree with your disagreement on that matter! I was once in charge at work to create a more eco-friendly workplace and trust me, changing the paper into the recycled paper does not give much impact to the enviroment as much as the effort and cost itself. Also quick question, is it actually informed by BH that it's from a recycled paper? (I haven't received my albums so I couldn't tell yet). I mean.. I, too, appreciate their effort in going eco-friendly if that's what they are trying.. but there are much more things/items that can be modified other than the photobook. For example, the lyrics book, the plastic protectors, etc. I also agree with your point on how we could have got more pictures from subunits in the photobook rather than getting what we've been shown from the teaser. Maybe the biggest dissapointment might be because the pre-order info stated that we'll receive a "photobook", which turns out to be these mini posters.. Then again the albums and concepts are all so beautiful! 💜 Just putting my personal opinion here, no hate or whatsoever! :) I still love the boys and the new music a lot! 🥺👌🏻

    I think it’s a bit sad that BigHit didn’t make a great photobook with these photos. These are actually their best concept photos, version 2 and 3 could’ve had the photos brightened a little bit but not too much. The colouring sheet could’ve been a great way for Armys to express their creativity and post their colouring ins but it hasn’t happened. Armys are also upset with the packaging because this is probably their last album as ot7 for a very long time and they want something special for this album. I would’ve preferred different post cards for different versions I’d love Version 2 group version post card to put on the fridge

The reason I did not get all 4 versions of the photobooks originally was because I just had a sense, that ER may completely flop on that and be too lazy to do 4 separate photo concepts. I bought the Kihyun cover member book, and I did get the "united" version with my tour ticket. The deluxe photobooks are slightly different than the member ones, but they're all the same, so I do hope to stop by a store and get one version only if I can still find one in stores.

I see what they were trying to do and I think it’s nice for people who hang up posters. Also I do wish they would’ve given different postcards for each version because like you said a lot of people buy each version to collect different things from each concept. I don’t see a point in having 4 of the same exact thing. And yeah the coloring page is a waste as well.

The issue was, they didn't come bubble wrapped, not at all. They were just stacked next to eachother and in the box like that, making them slightly damaged. The posters were also weird and they had to send out disclaimers that if they didn't want the posters due to that they could just send them back. This is honestly just horrible packaging wise even if it was just for a store.

And i would be soo interested in what they were thinking when they decided the contents, like i can not imagine that they wouldn't at least consider that people might prefer a real photobook? It does seem like they wanted to just save money by doing that but i don't know.

This whole Boyband thing is based on commerce (as if none of them had a girlfriend until now lol. we knew this scheme from american bands already) we as fans didnt know about the man e.g. kim namjoon, we know about the bandmate kim namjoon, the leader, the rapper. As fans we get to know what the companies want us to know. I think some people forget about that fact and loose themselves somehow (and hate everyone who attacks their little save world xD)

    You were right about the photos included in the first three versions, most of the blown up ones were concept pictures available on internet. My main complain was with version 2 & 3, the pictures are already so dark its even more difficult to see it in the paper that the print it on. And not to mention the poster crease line with those two versions are so bad because of how dark the picture is. And people saying you can't critique on the product that you buy is honestly confusing, what else do you think consumer feedback is? Not all of us are entitled or don't know the value on the product, we do save up and buy it for ourselves :/. I know you're not paying for pictures, you're paying for that disc filled with 19 songs. It's just a tad bit disappointing that's all. Forgot to mention, I got mine preordered in hmv uk, when I tell you I was bummed out on hearing the news on twitter that morning we wouldn't get that element of surprise on photo cards, just slightly bummed out but more than happy to get my ot7 cards. Also I definitely agree on the post card, they could've gone ahead with four different versions of it, cuz now you have identical copies if you were someone who wanted all four versions of the album.

    this really needed to be said i'm so glad you made this video. when (my number 1 group) seventeen released an ode me and a few others were criticising the packaging as we were disappointed with the outer envelope and how it was useless and was damaged really easily as well as the lazy art design and unnecessary amount of inclusions and versions. the amount of carats who went crazy over this and started witchhunting anyone who dared complain was so ridiculous. kpop fans need to realise that most companies have the objective of making as much money as possible and as fans (and customers) its not only our right but its also necessary for us to raise issues or problems when we are unhappy with them. especially when it comes to album packaging - we are paying a lot of money for these albums and we deserve good quality packaging. blindly consuming and praising merchandise and product with no critical thought just because its your favourite idol is very dangerous and naive

    I'm relieved to see this video. Thank you for sharing your honest opinion. I was so incredibly excited to get this album, thinking (based on the concept teasers, the insane quality of the music, and the fact that this album is supposed to be a bit of 2 potential albums themes put together in one --this album covered the concepts of shadow and ego, whereas persona had its own album) so yeah, my expectations were fairly high and then....well, it was honestly a lackluster experience opening it all up. I've been collecting K-pop albums for years and aside from the size of the box, the contents felt like free giveaways. Low quality stickers, a coloring sheet that is printed on cheap printer paper in like faint dotted ink (even if you are artistic or crafty and would really enjoy using the coloring sheet you can't even paint it or use markers or anything other than maybe crayons or colored pencils or it will bleed messily or buckle the paper. It's gonna look ugly so what's the point.), and the "posters" oh no: they manage to be both dull and too reflective at the same time so you CANT SEE ANYTHING. All the details are lost bc the colors are so desaturated---like they are covered by, well, a shadow. (God I hope that wasn't intentional bc it was a bad idea) but also the paper has this texture that even though it is sort of matte every time I try to hold the posters up to light to strain to see more detail the light reflects off the texture and makes this horrible glare so I can't see the images at all. I was dumbfounded. (I got the Last Supper version so the concept is dark which made it even worse). I was planning to buy all the versions but now I can't really justify it bc the best part, the photos, aren't printed in good enough quality to make it worth it. Oh well.

    I 100% agree with everything you said and seeing so many armys attack people who criticize the packaging and blindly follow everything bighit does makes me fall out of love with this fandom more and more. I am a designer and the packaging just does not make any sense. The 'poster book' does NOT work as a photobook since it's not bound together, the image quality is bad and you need to take it apart to see the full photos. And it does NOT work as mini posters either since the paper is way too flimsy, it rips easily and both sides are printed. So I really don't know what they thought when they made this. Also the whole "environmentally friendly" argument was brought up by an army, not bighit. Someone - who probably thinks that thin paper automatically means environmentally friendly (spoiler: it does not) - blurted it out there and everyone used this to justify the quality. You CAN make eco friendly books that DO look amazing. And just what you said - why would they bother to print the photos on this kind of paper if they make the album this much bigger and use up more thick cardboard, bubble wrap and fuel that way?? It's the exact opposite of eco friendly. ALSO to armys who say "you buy the album for the music not for the extras" - no. Majority of people buy the album for the extras. They want to see gorgeous photos, collect photocards and postcards - that's literally the purpose of these albums. A huge majority who just wants to listen to the music will buy it digitally or stream it. In conclusion - this whole packaging feels rushed and not thought through at all; and that's a shame. Bighit had so much time and has so many resources, they could have made the most epic and mindblowing album ever.

    I completely agree with you on everything. Especially the idea that it's supposed to be environmentally friendly? No. Like you said, the album would have been smaller then. Regarding the MX English album I remember someone saying that American companies never do it right. And also this is why I never preorder anything and why I watch unboxing videos first. I am wondering about how you felt about version two of the BTS album? My friend was really mad because that was the version she bought and it's so dark she said you can't see anything. P.S. This is completely off topic but your eyes are gorgeous!

I think Bighit just wanted to try something different.. actually I saw many armys saying they preferred this type of album.. with posters and stuff.. so I guess it’s subjective! I definitely preferred persona’s packaging. But that’s just cause I won’t use those posters.. like I don’t usually stick them onto my walls so. I rather have a solid and united album, like a book yeah. I think that they’ve seen the feedback cause a lot of people didn’t like it, so I guess they’ll go back to their roots for the next album

    I love how you kept getting distracted from your rant by the cute pics :) I agree with every single thing you said about the BTS albums. I also am not a poster person, and I flipped through it like a book to keep it in order. Version 4 seemed to work the best of the versions, but in some versions (like 3), you had a lot of views of shoulders. The paper was bad for all the versions, but especially version 2 (which was one of the concepts most anticipated by Army!) If they'd thought about the album presentation more holistically, they either would have changed the paper to suit the photo concepts, or the photo concepts to suit the paper. It was just out of place. The teaser photos were better quality than the album photos!

    I agree so much about the photo layouts not actually making sense with the folded mini poster format. I got version 3 and I kept getting so confused as I was flipping through the pages/posters bc half of the images were oddly positioned on the page (like the long group shot of them all sitting at the "Last Supper" table, the white folded crease went right through their chests ruining the small portion of the photo that wasn't just negative black space.) All the large full page individual shots also faded to mostly black for half of each page, like what's the point of making it full page if it's mostly pitch BLACK. It all just felt odd and poorly planned and executed.

I was also disappointed in how....very little pages there were to this photobook?? i assumed that with this album being so big that the contents in it would be grand?? but it seemed like there was still empty room in the packaging like the contents didnt even fill up the depth/thickness of the outercase?? I only bought two versions...but in Version 2...maybe its just my ocd or designer in me...but THOSEE WHITEEE RECTANGLES IN VERSION 2 really bothered me it just seemed soo out of place and ruined the dark conept of the photobook....like they couldve made it a small rectangle just to highlight the members name orrr even just white lettering for the members name...my mom said it was maybe to autograph?? but idk...regardless...that design choice i cant...

    I've been listening to Epic Record artists since Pearl Jam and Judas Priest and this honestly is not the first time for Epic Records to screw over their artist's fans. Pearl Jam released an album back in 1995 called Merkin Ball and we as fans were super super excited because they said that they were releasing two different versions, although this was back when jewel cases were still pretty new to the music industry, we still wanted it. My dad got me both versions for my birthday and when I got it, it was really disappointing, the only thing that was different was the album covers and literally nothing else. Epic Records has been screwing their artists and their artist's fans since they started. Even when they had Ozzy Osbourne, they completely screwed up his career both in America and the UK, they basically used Ozzy as a cash cow and nothing more. I'm just scared that this will be Monsta X's first/last/only English album because it'll just really damage their reputation internationally. As a Monbebe, I just want t̶w̶o̶ ̶ one thing, for Monsta X to be happy a̶n̶d̶ ̶W̶o̶n̶h̶o̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶c̶o̶m̶e̶ ̶b̶a̶c̶k̶.̶

    Honestly speaking. When i heard about the BTS MOTS:7 album dropping, i saved up so hard to get all the set. I skip meals from school, i don't go out and never buys anything. I saved up bc i wanted the Album, as a collector, and as a fan i wanted to support BTS. Most importantly BTS' songs are worth everything. But when BigHit start shipping some of the albums and some armys are already uboxing it & when i saw the album at first, i was so disappointed by the BigHit ent. bc of the inclusion they have on the album. I love love the packaging and i really appreciate the packaging bc ik someone is sleepless for months, stress just to design the album & make it everything all right. But what disappoint me the most was i think i expect too much bc of the higher price + having such a big album. And its BTS. But when i saw the inclusions, i was so disappointed, from having the expectations of the old same photobook with more BTS' unseen photos and such. Mine haven't arrived yet but i was already disappointed. But i can't give my own opinion bc some armys are attacking other armys bc they don't like them criticizing bts when in fact, it's not about criticizing bts but we're just voicing our opinion about the packaging that BigHit made. but when tried to look at the point of some armys who is "protecting" the packaging of the album. I grow to understand them by protecting the Bands reputation by some antis. And i totally agree with that. Bc some antis will probably use these "armys are only buying bts albums bc of their photos and such" and i understand them having the thoughts of that. I respectfully agree with that. But i also respect some armys who is voicing their dismay about the packaging or the inclusions of the albums bc some of us, have to skip meals and save hard to get the album/s and not all of us have works or rich. And i totally can relate & respect them. But one thing for sure is; whatever the albums packaging or the inclusions or the price of the BTS albums,dvds and merchs is, it's not important. the only important is the songs. The masterpieces that was created, produce and lyrics all by bts is what makes all my disappointment all gone to wind. 20 songs from the Album, 15 new songs and for sure, bts work so hard for the songs and we can never ignore their lyrics to every songs and their sincerity. They work hard for this comeback. They tell us their struggles from the beginning and give us hope to dream more. And as my long comment ends, i hope you don't mind my english. i'm very bad at speaking in english but i tried lol. anyway, to some armys who is dismay by the packaging & the inclusion of the album, and the album only. I understand u and will respect your opinions. If we have more to say, maybe we can email bighit for them to hear us. For the other armys who are "attacking" the armys bc they don't like them sharing their opinions online where a lot of antis can probably see and start attacking the band and the armys. I understand and will respect your thoughts and opinions too. Thank you for protecting the boys 💜 . Let's just all remember, spread love not hate. Let's appreciate BTS hard work & every master pieces they created. Stream BTS MOTS7. You nice, keep going ami! 💜💜💜
