Do you love The Boyz and digital albums? Or would you simply like even more photocards of Jacob, Sungwoo and co? Then you should take a look around our shop, because from today you can pre-order Platform Versions of 10 different The Boyz albums!
Today it is almost standard for every K-Pop album to also come with a digital version. These have all kinds of different names: Poca Album, Nemo Album, SMini, Kihno, Digital Code or Platform Version. Most of them have only been around for a few years, so many older albums have no digital versions. That also applies to The Boyz. The boy group only started offering digital versions of their albums last year. This applies to the last two albums Be Aware (2022) and Be Awake (2023).
That has changed today! On June 19, brand new Platform Albums of The Boyz's first ten Korean albums will be released. From the debut album “The First” from 2017 to the single album “Maverick” from 2021:
- The First (2017)
- The Start (2018)
- The Sphere (2018)
- The Only (2018)
- Bloom Bloom (2019)
- Dreamlike (2019)
- Reveal (2020)
- Chase (2020)
- Thrill-ing (2021)
- Maverick (2021)
What exactly is a Platform Version?
This version consists of a paper photocard holder containing photocards and, in some cases, stickers or a postcard. A QR code and a serial number are printed on the back of one photocard. Buyers have to download the “1Takes” app and then use the code or the number to access digital content: an album info, all tracks of the album, digital photocards, the music video and possibly also exclusive photos and videos. The photocard holder is only slightly larger than the photocards themselves.
The Platform Albums by The Boyz are all built almost identically:
They all contain one of 11 possible mini cards with a QR code on the back. These mini cards are exactly the same size as regular photocards, so you can store them together with the others in your collection binder. In addition, there is an official photocard set with 11 cards! There is also always one of 11 selfie photocards included. Some albums even come with 2 of 33 selfie photocards. To access the digital content, you need the MINIRECORD app.
