12 Worst Kpop Album Wraps According to International Fans
When talking about kpop, idols and performances aren’t the only things that stand out.
In fact, idol agencies are always honored to offer fans new experiences with artist album packaging.
However, sometimes these initiatives fail… Whether the album cover is disappointing or the album packaging itself is made of shoddy materials, there are a number of examples of K-pop albums that have disappointed fans for one reason or another.
In a popular online community, kpop fans picked the 12 worst kpop album wraps.
- Kwon Ji Yong by G-Dragon
The album was not released on a CD, but on a USB stick, which is now more and more obsolete.
Also, the paint on the USB stick tended to peel off. According to some fans, it was intentional, which makes it worse.
- ALIVE by BIGBANG
This album is made of metal that will rust over time. The once extravagantly beautiful album then becomes something else entirely.
- 1 and 1 by SHINee
Fans said they were very disappointed with this album because it just wasn’t anything special. They criticized SM Entertainment for not putting any effort into creating this album.
- Heng:garae from SEVENTEEN
The album was a “kit” that you had to put together yourself, which many fans didn’t appreciate.
- Magic by Super Junior
Literally fans are saying that SM Entertainment allocated a budget of 1 euro to create the album package.
- NOEASY by Stray Kids
The fans didn’t like the album cover. You think the graphics look like “Windows 98” mixed with “Lord of the Rings”.
- After LIKE d’IVE
The fans said they were very disappointed with the packaging of this album, while the Starship agency is known for creating very beautiful albums.
- 17 carats of SEVENTEEN
Once again, fans complained about the lack of effort that went into the album’s design. While it’s not ugly to look at, the quality leaves a lot to be desired.
- Map of the Soul: 7 by BTS
Fans all seem to agree that this is one of the band’s best albums, but also the one with the worst packaging.
- ANTIFRAGILE by LE SSERAFIM
Fans love the band’s identity and wish the album packaging was so plain in comparison.
- FEARLESS by LE SSERAFIM
Likewise, fans want a design that’s a little more eye-catching for the group. You have the impression that the packaging is all the same.
- Minisode 2: Child de TXT from Thursday
Fans liked the album’s exterior design, but were very disappointed with the interior design, which they also found to be of poor quality.
