Everything came to the limelight on May 20, 2024, at a time when most netizens were abuzz with anticipation as news broke of the special release by Suga. For the unversed, the album promises some exclusive inclusions that include posters, booklets, and postcards. It is said that the same album will include a staggering 28 photocards from each stop of the BTS member’s tour. This is, once again, a departure from the common industry practice of having a random selection of photo cards in albums.
What makes Suga’s announcement special?
What makes Suga’s album stand out from all other albums is that he has decided to add an abundance of photocards in the same version rather than prompting fans to purchase multiple versions.
For the unversed, several fans often resort to purchasing multiple copies to complete their collection of photo cards. Suga has helped resolve this issue by enabling everyone to get all photo cards in a single go with the respective album cover. His proactive approach, once again, stands as a commendable example of fulfilling the wishes of fans and also promoting environmental consciousness.
