On May 21, SHINee gave the first hint of a comeback with a poster, and since June 1 you can pre-order the long-awaited album HARD in our shop.
Since then, Taemin, Minho and co. have released several teaser images on Twitter and even made their fans puzzle a little to find all the teasers. But the most important thing has been a long time coming: album details. But today, things were finally made clear!
There are some fans who collect all versions of an album, but most fans pick one or more versions that they like best. That is why Shawols, as SHINee fans are called, have been waiting for weeks for details that help them make their decision. And now they are here!
There will be three photobook versions, and we can take a closer look at one of them now:
The so-called RUNNER Ver. consists of an 80-page photobook protected by a cover. It contains a CD, one of eight possible photocards and one of four “bromides”. This is a portrait photo. Anyone who orders the album before the release on June 26 optionally gets a poster as well!
The other two photobook versions will be announced later, so a little suspense remains. They will probably be structured very similarly, but individual extras may also differ depending on the version.
In addition, there are four Digipack versions:
Each of them is dedicated to one of the four members: Minho, Onew, Key or Taemin. The Digipacks each contain a 28-page photobook, one of four possible photocards, a CD and a folded poster.
There are also four different variants of the SMini version, again one for each member:
Buyers get an SMini case with a ball chain, one of four possible photocards and a music NFC card. With the ball chain you can turn the SMini case into a stylish pendant for bags, keys and more.
Attention! NFC is NOT the same as NFT. NFTs are digital goods that pollute the environment. NFCs merely transmit data contactlessly to devices nearby.
Finally, we would like to introduce the Package Version to you!
A thick rectangular box awaits you, packed with small and large extras. In the box you will find, among other things, a CD, a four-page booklet, an assembly toy, one of four photocards and one of four group photocards. You also get a whole range of posters: a lyrics poster, a folded poster and 10 mini posters!
Have you already decided on a version?
