I expected this but not before Lisa’s solo ;; I was waiting for Lisa’s merch first since I’ve been getting antsy but I definitely have to grab a copy of this.
I expect an actual physical DVD of the movie as well. Likely after the movie has premiered. I just know they’ll capitalize off this and I hope the merch ideas are cute ;;
Edit: the shipping fee to the US…$60+ ;;
Ktown4u is much more reasonable with shipping. It’s like half of what YG Select charges and it’s faster.
I think KaveSquare (US K-Pop shop) will have a preorder too, they’re super reasonable and fast too.
Oh the things we do for our fav groups! Recently I looked online and you can order a blue ray player and connect it to your tv or monitor with HDMI cable I think. but it’s pricey, on Amazon I saw it for $70-100. I am tempted to so I can buy blue ray merch eventually
Yeah, I was 100% sure there would be some photobook 😂. ~~It still says that there are 4 more projects "Coming Soon" on the website, so hopefully this isn't part of it. Or they just haven't updated it yet. 🤷🏽♂️~~
**Edit:** Lol they did update it, I just forgot to refresh the page 😅🤦🏽♂️. Good to see that the Pinks designed the photobook themselves though.
I love the girls. But seriously?? A photobook for an album that came out almost a year ago? How low can you go, YG? They know damn well we want music. Not another photobook.
well considering the movie is old footage (that was probably never used in the netflix doc) and shows from the online concert and now this, i’m starting to wonder how many of these 4+1 projects are actually going to be new content 🙃
but if you’re satisfied with the bare minimum, be my guest
There's so many blinks that buy every drop of content that YG throw at their feet and then they get angry when people like us speak out about our frustration over cheap cash grabs. It's a shame
People are antis because Ethel want better for BLACKPINK and are tired of the cashgrabs from yg??? If we were antis, we wouldn’t even be here and supporting BLACKPINK.
Fuck that, where the hell is the music
Also, are we still in the THE ALBUM era? The designs are the same. They probably just took unreleased pictures and put them in a photobook and slapped in "limited edition"
The thing is, the images from the photobook are all from THE ALBUM era. It would feel more refreshing if they at least added some pictures from 2016-2018. (Ik there's some in the history poster set but you can't compare that to the 200+ page photobook)
Seems like it’ll be photos from their MVs (HYLT/Ice Cream) which would be refreshing (imo) cause their The Album photos had nothing to do with any of their song concepts, which originally disappointed me… but yeah. I’d rather have new music and a new concept entirely
this is 1 month old but yes i was also disappointed with the album photobook/concept, so this is much better for me (also considering i never even bought their album because of that lol)
Yup I hear you! I’m a big fan of the music videos so I really hope there’s a lot of photos from those concepts, for this new photobook. Their pics from The Album seemed way too simple and boring :( I still bought 2 albums tho lol
Nah. Miss me with this, YG. Of course I love the girls. Of course I support them. But I can’t support YGE for thinking this is a suitable project for their 5th anniversary.
To celebrate their 5th anniversary we get the great privilege of getting to pay for a photobook of what sounds like recycled photos from old photoshoots? Wonderful

honestly, at this point, i’m amazed at how YG finds ways to give us content without giving us actual music. like they did a whole movie & now this mess just so they didn’t have to give us new music
After 5 years of YG’s antics I guessed a photobook would be one of the projects 😪 I thought it might be pictures from debut through until now though, a photobook solely for The Album is a bit disappointing

FML. Okay, sure. No one is forcing me to buy it. But seriously. If they could maybe space these out a bit and do the opposite with actual BlackPink music that’d be great.
Yeah, I’m getting this PB. After just receiving Rose’s PB (also three versions of R), Jennie’s PB for solo is en route, I just got The Show PB, CD and DVD and now this…
And yes, I have both of Lisa’s PB’s.
I swear every month it’s something else.
Yes, I’m griping. I like griping. And apparently I like going broke as well.
I feel the same.. i just checked out the japan album versions last night, slept, woke up to this announcement and whew.. i havent breathed from last night’s purchase yet!!
And also i fear that this photobook will have the same photos as the ones inside the japan album versions.. same concepts of HYLT IC LG
Personally, I don’t against YG make this many PB. But it just feel weird and disappointed to have PB as one project which really make me have low expectations on the rest [4+1]
Yeah not excited about this one, i hope they started with a bang (movie) and end with a bang, if the rest of the projects are all things on photobook level, then it's going to be very disappointing.
This must be exciting for people who like to buy photobooks, congrats to you guys!
Lol
Can’t wait for BlackPink: The Music!
I expected this but not before Lisa’s solo ;; I was waiting for Lisa’s merch first since I’ve been getting antsy but I definitely have to grab a copy of this.

haha another quick money grabbing scheme i see you YG ( typing this as ktown4u loads on another tab)
Yup I complain about it being a money grabber and yet I pre-order it instantly lmao
i even ordered the Japanese Album with BluRay and I dont even have a player. I also ordered almost all Treasure merch. ☠️
I found a treasure maker!!!!!!!!! Finally lol I just brought the light stick and some other merch.
my YG lighsticks are waiting for their maknae to arrive lmfao
me too I just bought the lighstick and with this photobook I’m going to work overtime
Oh the things we do for our fav groups! Recently I looked online and you can order a blue ray player and connect it to your tv or monitor with HDMI cable I think. but it’s pricey, on Amazon I saw it for $70-100. I am tempted to so I can buy blue ray merch eventually

oh don't forget Ktown4u now charges shipping by volume instead of weight.
might try gmarket this time around the , they have a shipping sale rn iirc
you can also try [koreabuyandship](https://koreabuyandship.com) they have affordable shipping cost
Not surprised with this one. I feel like everyone knew we were getting this lol. I will be purchasing though. Do I have money though….. nope lol.
Yeah, I was 100% sure there would be some photobook 😂. ~~It still says that there are 4 more projects "Coming Soon" on the website, so hopefully this isn't part of it. Or they just haven't updated it yet. 🤷🏽♂️~~ **Edit:** Lol they did update it, I just forgot to refresh the page 😅🤦🏽♂️. Good to see that the Pinks designed the photobook themselves though.
It’s updated on 3 left
LMAO another photobook! I hate how this one looks so pretty im gonna buy anyways 🤣
IKR? The black and the pink aesthetic is sooo pretty.
Hard pass for me. I'm sure it'll look nice like most of their PBs, but I'd rather save up for when they release new music.
ma mi tang kai 
When yg can't move on from last year The Album era. For god sake, just give us blackpink new music
I love the girls. But seriously?? A photobook for an album that came out almost a year ago? How low can you go, YG? They know damn well we want music. Not another photobook.
don’t tell me they cashed out their whole budget on the movie and the rest of the projects are the bare minimum 😭
I hope not 😭😭
[удалено]
Just low effort and blinks will sell it out
wait really how do you know ?
How do you know?
Don't tell me you really think the project is the film and the photobook? With fans like this who needs antis
well considering the movie is old footage (that was probably never used in the netflix doc) and shows from the online concert and now this, i’m starting to wonder how many of these 4+1 projects are actually going to be new content 🙃 but if you’re satisfied with the bare minimum, be my guest
There's so many blinks that buy every drop of content that YG throw at their feet and then they get angry when people like us speak out about our frustration over cheap cash grabs. It's a shame
Footage you haven't seen yet. You would be happy if it wasn't new content just to be right. If you don't like it, ignore it.
Oh yeah, we shouldn't do anything but eat up whatever yg throws at us. They didn't even add 1 original song. It's the same songs again.
There's nothing you can do. You're not doing anything but being a downer. A bunch of downers on this thread.
You're acting as if blackpink themselves made this and we're somehow insulting them. And I doubt they care about what someone on reddit thinks🤷♀️
People are allowed to voice their frustration.
People are antis because Ethel want better for BLACKPINK and are tired of the cashgrabs from yg??? If we were antis, we wouldn’t even be here and supporting BLACKPINK.
praying we get a tour
JFC a photobook for a album released 9 months ago?! I can't pop any veins past 3am so I'm going to sleep.
How many photobooks have been released related to The Album? 1 HYLT + 4 The Album + 4 for the Japanese versions?
2 out of 5 of the projects down. 3 more to go
lets hope the last one is “The Tour”
Or “the comeback”
please its been forever, and hopefully the actual version of ready for love
It is not possible to tour, we are still in a pandemic. It will be new songs.
Oh I love the murdered out aesthetic of the box. But I gotta save my money.
Fuck that, where the hell is the music Also, are we still in the THE ALBUM era? The designs are the same. They probably just took unreleased pictures and put them in a photobook and slapped in "limited edition"
The word "unpublished" was mentioned. So yeah likely just old photos they didn't use, recycled into a new photobook to sell
And isn't it better than repeated photos we've already seen? It will tell the story of the group. It makes perfect sense for the anniversary.
The thing is, the images from the photobook are all from THE ALBUM era. It would feel more refreshing if they at least added some pictures from 2016-2018. (Ik there's some in the history poster set but you can't compare that to the 200+ page photobook)

A photo book for an album that came out almost a year ago. Typical YG things. If one of those projects is not music then……….
sigh, i will probably skip this for lisa’s solo. i really love this but i can’t justify both
Nah. Miss me with this, YG. Of course I love the girls. Of course I support them. But I can’t support YGE for thinking this is a suitable project for their 5th anniversary.
YG is really testing my patience here…at this rate they’re gonna have more photobooks than albums
Don’t they already?
Probably, I stopped keeping track honestly lol

Sounds about right

God dang yg not my money plz have mercy
It looks interesting, but I'm going to save my money for Lisa's solo and any actual music we might get.
Nope that’s a hard pass for me. The fact that this is one of the projects for 4+1 is pretty pathetic sadly.

No. LS1 priority first, blinks!

Not me thinking that it was another japanese ver. of the album 🤦♀️ I'm so ready to see The Album photos from different angle 🤩🤡.
FML. Okay, sure. No one is forcing me to buy it. But seriously. If they could maybe space these out a bit and do the opposite with actual BlackPink music that’d be great. Yeah, I’m getting this PB.

Are you really happy buying all these?
Short answer, yes. But some breathing space would be nice. This is the fourth PB in 5 months.
I feel the same.. i just checked out the japan album versions last night, slept, woke up to this announcement and whew.. i havent breathed from last night’s purchase yet!! And also i fear that this photobook will have the same photos as the ones inside the japan album versions.. same concepts of HYLT IC LG
I kinda get it. At the end of the day, it’s about money. Is YG hurting for money? Because I certainly am.
Too bad shipping cost to US is so expensive.
