This highly anticipated first EP from IVE continues the group's exploration of self-discovery and multifaceted identities through music and visual storytelling. K-Pop album packaging is increasingly elaborate, reflecting a broader trend of albums as collectible art pieces. The inclusion of multiple versions caters to dedicated fans who enjoy collecting different iterations and variations, driving up sales and engagement.

Key Highlights

The use of dust jackets, a retro design element, adds a unique tactile experience beyond standard packaging, appealing to collectors.
Randomized inclusions like photocards foster a sense of excitement and exclusivity, contributing to the album's collectibility and value in the secondary market.

Why You'll Love It

Immerse yourself in IVE's artistic vision with a 92-page photobook, offering exclusive behind-the-scenes glimpses and stunning visuals related to the album's themes.
The randomized photocard inclusion provides a thrilling unboxing experience and the opportunity to collect your favorite member, increasing engagement and excitement.
The varied versions (EITHER WAY, OFF THE RECORD, BADDIE, LOVED IVE) allow you to choose an album aesthetic that resonates with your personal style, offering a tailored experience.

Key Features

Dust Jacket: The large-format dust jacket (566x418mm) not only protects the album but also serves as a striking visual element, enhancing the overall aesthetic.
Photo Book: The substantial 92-page photobook provides ample space for high-quality images and artistic direction, enriching the visual experience.
CD-R: The physical CD-R ensures high-fidelity audio playback, providing a tangible way to experience IVE's music and support their artistry beyond streaming platforms.
Photocard: A random photocard (55x85mm) adds collectibility and trading value, fostering community engagement among fans.

Perfect For

Dedicated DIVEs (IVE fans) seeking to own a physical piece of IVE's musical journey and expand their collection.
K-Pop collectors who appreciate unique album designs and randomized inclusions that add to the thrill of unboxing.

Jag fick IVE EP:n idag och gillar verkligen fotoboken. Den är rolig att bläddra igenom. Låtarna fastnade snabbt hos mig också, de har en skön känsla. Verkligen prisvärd för så mycket innehåll som det kommer med.

I received the ‘BADDIE ver.’ I liked the photo book and postcard. The CD plays fine, but that’s it. Just basic stuff for a high price.

Ho ricevuto il cd, ma la canzone non mi piace tanto. Gli scatti nella foto sono carini, ma questo tipo di collezione è costoso per ciò che offre.
