My K-Pop Collection Volume 1

All my K-Pop albums to date...

I nearly didn't upload this video because, 1) You can hear me breathing and it sounds like Darth Vader crossed with a creepy prank caller, and 2) It looks like I have no pants on when I'm actually wearing shorts. But whatever.

If you've never seen a physical K-Pop album before, then this video is good because it shows just how entirely different Korean music packaging is compared to any other country. It also shows how there's no one set standard way of packaging music in Korea, and that it's pretty much left up to whatever the label want to do at the time and can afford. If anything, this video really doesn't capture how amazing and artistic some of the packaging is, especially TVXQ's Before U Go and Narsha's mini-album, amongst others.

Albums in order of appearance are: f(x) Pinocchio, TVXQ Keep Your Head Down/Before U Go repackage, Seungri Welcome to the V World DVD + Photobook box, BoA Copy & Paste, Seungri VVIP mini-album, TVXQ Keep Your Head Down Special Limited Edition, Nine Muses Let's Have a Party single-album, SHINee Hello, U-Kiss Break Time mini-album, SECRET "Shy Boy" single, miss A Bad But Good SIGNED mini-album, f(x) NU ABO mini-album, T-ara Temptastic mini-album, BIGBANG 2011 official planner, Brown Eyed Girls Sound-G Taiwanese edition, Narsha mini-album, Brown Eyed Girls Leave Ms. Kim, Ga-in Step 2/4 mini-album, GD&TOP mini-album, 2NE1 To Anyone, Dream High season 1 DVD, IU Real mini-album Special Present edition. I also have a Seungri VVIP poster and YG Life 2011 Calender not in the video.

I buy everything in Sydney in a store in the city. Most of it isn't that expensive, and is around the same price as Western music. The most expensive items were the TVXQ albums, the Seungri Welcome to the V World because it's a DVD/Photobook special box set, and also the miss A album because it's signed by the girls themselves. I almost never buy English music physically anymore because the packaging is just such a rip-off compared to the amazing stuff you get with K-Pop albums, which have pretty much put the excitement back into buying music for me.

Enjoy!

Loved your collection. You have great taste in music. What nationality are you? I'm Puerto Rican and I can't get enough of Kpop music. I'm really upset that I didn't order Before U Go repackaged, because it is out of print now. : ( By the way i'm a man. Everyone sees my channel and they assume I'm a girl because I'm into Kpop. I ordered F(X) Pinnochio and Afterschool Virgin. I'm glad you posted how F(X) cd looks like. What's the name of the first song playing? Sorry for the long comment.

@Itotin01 Hey :) Thank you.

I'm Australian, a guy (and Caucasian). I didn't know Before U Go was out of print now, I just bought it yesterday! I wanna buy After School Virgin as well. There are many more albums I want besides the ones just here, but I can't afford to get every single thing I want so I'm building my collection slowly haha.

And the first song playing is Seungri "I Know" featuring IU. It's from his amazing VVIP album.

@TheShawEncore That's "Hot Times" by S.M. The Ballad! :-)

I'm sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooo jealous on your collection!! Mine is just so little... But where's the DVD of step 2/4?

And thank you for showing BoA's "Copy & Paste", 9Muses' album and BEG's CD+DVD edition of Sound-G =)

Awesome collection! What is the song at 13:30 btw?

[TopKPop]

wow I love your collection. And the TVXQ's repackage cd is amazin *_*

[nAttyari]

Oh wow thats a really great collection and I love how Secret's Shy Boy packaging is like a vinyl record, the attention to these in k-pop is far far ahead of any where else I've seen. I have a k-pop collection too but it's pretty much all BoA + Kara (plus their j-pop stuff) I have like 7 Kara albums and 25 BoA albums (+2 concert Dvds) lol yeah I'm a tad bit obsessed ^-^*

Awesome collection! K-Pop truly does have the best CD packaging ever. One of my favorite CD packaging is Co-Ed's first album. It's sooo big! It's basically just a huge picture book with a tiny CD in the back lol... same with T-ara's Breaking Heart limited edition repackage CD. I really wish I had a store somewhere near me that sold K-Pop CDs... I have to order them from eBay and then wait 2-3 weeks before they actually get here. You're lucky you have a store near you. lol :P

[Itotin01]

It's Out of Print on YesAsia. Did you buy it on ebay? I know it's hard to buy everything when some things are more expensive than other's. I'm slowly building my collection too. I have about 40-50 cd's and dvd's all together of kpop. Mostly DBSK.They are my favorites. I might upload my collection later on. Who's your favorite Kpop artists? Hope we can be good friends. : )
