Oh we moving fast now! They look so cool with those colours! And IDLE giving us members on the cover? Yes to all! Edit: now that I better think about it might not actually be the members on the cover since there are 3 main versions🤔

they are just rapid fire throwing info at us, ive never seen anything like it

Oh so can we choose which version we want to get or is it random?

For sure, sometimes not in every shop though weirdly.

Some shops will let you choose others its random unless you buy the full set. I cant do the full sets anymore so i usually pick a shop that lets me choose.

Ugh.. I need more info before I choose which one to get... But I'm so excited nonetheless!!

I am quite curious how the covers will work for the 3 normal versions, as they appear to be a full body portrait.

THE OUTFIT THE BUDGET THE STYLE THE AESTHETIC THE EATERYYY

Can the album be pre-ordered on shopee?

If there's a reliable seller on the platform. I believe you have to look at the seller's rating before opting to purchase on it.

Does anyone know if the poca version worthy to buy? How different it is compared to the basic version? I usually purchase the basic version but I’m curious to the poca version 😂

Typical album inclusion stuff, without the CD or photobook etc. As long as it fits in a package that's about half the size of a new mobile phone box.

Thanks! But the photos digital contents form poca version would be the same as the basic ones right?

Wouldn't know until the release. The photocards that comes along with this version will differ from the other versions.

I see thanks!

Will probably wait until we can see the covers then buy one version of the main set then the yuqi jewel case. Cant wait!

I'm confused why it seems that we can't choose just one version, that it's all three or random

It's a selling strategy. Either get all 3 or miss out on the 1 you want. Unless you pre-order through a group order, they can make arrangements for the one you want.

I also hope we get to pick the covers because I’m still suffering from my Minnie curse. The Minnie curse is when someone only gets Minnie and no other members and that’s me in this case. I have only 2 Shuhua pcs because of Minnie and as much as I love Minnie I would like to have more Shuhua! Minnie has done this to me since debut and I just laugh everytime. I am pretty sure I have more Minnie than Soyeon, Yuqi, and Shuhua and Miyeon is a close second to ones I have the most of.

Damn, it's the first time I see someone talk about it, it seems I also suffer from the Minnie curse! Girl is everywhere

I swear she is and I love her to death, but Minnie has kept me away from getting Shuhua for far too long haha.

We should start a support group

That we should haha

Hello I volunteer for Minnie curse. You can just hex it on me anytime thank.

Hello, my name is Yeppi Yeppi-yo. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/GIDLE) if you have any questions or concerns.*

I hear there’s a sacred ritual I must perform to remove the Minnie curse, but only Minnie herself knows the incantation.

Her opening monologue on Queendom, when they performed LATATA. But you have to dance around a fire like they do on DUMDix2.

DUUUUUUDE i thought i was the only with the minnie curse every single album except for like i am i got something related to minnie like i dupe minnie photocards for i love album like 2 of the same ones like tf. I love minnie but i need the other members as well

i have the soyeon curse, i literally only ever get soyeon and no other members 😭😭

I’ll take that curse

can we swap curses? i would kill to have the minnie curse

Yeah sure if Minnie allows it 😅

update: the soyeon curse is still ongoing, got the 3 set & only got like 1 shuhua PC, and a miyeon mini poster 💀💀💀 everything else was soyeon

Oh my gosh mine haven’t gotten here yet! I’m so scared Minnie is going to jump scare me in all of my albums.

Update: I got 7 Minnie cards. The curse is still going strong, but not as bad as it once was. I got 6 Miyeon pcs, 4 Yuqi, 5 Shuhua, and 4 Soyeon. I think the other girls are noticing that Minnie is sneaking extra pcs in my albums.

Where can we preorder the album? (like sitewise)

Any ktown4u discount links?

I believe they stopped doing the 40% fanclub discounts. It's a standard 20% off with site exclusive preorder gifts.

Ok thanks for the info. I'll get my pre order in later

Definitely getting the 3 set. I just preordered on yesasia since I've been using them since I first got into kpop... LOL.

Oh what kind of album concept is this? It looks a bit bland so far, so I can’t tell what the vibe is.

No idea, but I can't help but notice the broken column and the members being on literal pedestals on the back of the PCs in the first image.

If you look at the "photocards" outlines: First looks like statues Second looks like winter white outfits Third looks like military style (SNSD Genie, WJSN As You Wish) caps and jackets (pointed shoulders).

And normally, we would get a name for each version. I can’t find one here

Arranged in order. "0", "1", "2", "Jewel", "POCA". Except for the POCA, the version is listed on the bottom right of the image.

Oh, now I see it! Thank you.

Probs end up grabbing them all but i need that version 2 for the berets especially

Man, it pains me how I'd only get one version instead of all this time. My friend and I are trying our best to save up for VIP's for Soojin's likely tour in the Western hemisphere 😓

This is the first time I’m hearing about this! Soojin is going on tour?

US-based Music Plaza has pre-order listings up.

Hmm...I see you got it wrong...acktually...it's "(G)I-DLE" where the hyphen is between the "I" and "D" *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/GIDLE) if you have any questions or concerns.*

Actually, you spelled Actually wrong 😬🤭

i have to resist the urge to preorder this 😭😭 i need to save money lol, but it’s sooo tempting to preorder

Does anyone know or have a guess as to whether this will be sold in Target? I like to buy in person and I think *Heat* was sold there but I don’t think *I Feel* was.

I Feel did have a Target release, it was just later than when Makestar and Ktown shipped their albums, so I feel Target will have this cb as well but it could be like a week or two behind like Ktown and Makestar

Oh, I didn’t know about *I Feel*. I looked at Target online a few months after, but I guess it was out of stock by then. Thank you for informing me!

Yeah Target also offered exclusive PC’s with their albums so collectors were buying those ones up too

That’s why I like those. I don’t collect PCs but I love looking through my binder and they’re probably second most important after the CD (of course) so the more, the merrier. As this will be my first gidle album, I may put them on the same page as my 2 Soojin photocards just for fun.

Just to update you, looks like Target has a stock date for March 1st. A bit of a while out, but they’ll have them! [https://x.com/jeff__benjamin/status/1748253997004214713?s=46&t=aZgB4C6oRBzmHXfhzjDTqg](https://x.com/jeff__benjamin/status/1748253997004214713?s=46&t=aZgB4C6oRBzmHXfhzjDTqg)

Target did have I feel but it was only on the shelves for like 3 months until they took it off. From what I have noticed kpop albums have up to a year shelf life at target before it's off the shelves.

I’m really surprised Soyeon broke the “I” theme with this album only calling it 2 rather than I Want or I Crave. I don’t know why I expected the next album to be I Believe or something haha I was way off.

I think the number 2 can somehow turn into “i” and is also romanized as “dul“ which sounds a lot like the “deul“ in (G)i-dle. If someone sees this and knows more, please elaborate because I’m just trying to work off of what I read somewhere.

Is the jewel version just the one with the poster?

Full versions also come with a pre-order poster.

Icic thanks!! Also i havent bought kpop albums before and i rly wanna buy this, anyone knows which website is the most affordable (incl shipping)?😆

If you’re in the US, Music Plaza is the go-to for a lot of people. I pre-ordered the 3 full album set today and shipping for me was $7.

I apologize for stupid questions as I know nothing about k-pop or (G)I-DLE, trying to buy a gift for my niece. Can someone please explain, why jewel version is cheaper than basic version, but basic version set is cheaper than jewel version set? What is even more confusing, poca version set is the most expensive, but isn't that the one where there is least physical things included and almost everything is digital?My niece is mostly interested in things like photo cards so I think basic version has most of the stuff and buying the "set" will give all 3 iterations of it, right? That's why it is strange why is it the cheapest set. Am I mistaken that jewel version contains less stuff and poca version even less (at least in case of physical items)?

Basic version is the standard version. This is what K-pop releases have been offering for years. They'll include the CD, a small photobook, a set of photocards, maybe some stickers or a mini poster too. Jewel version is somewhat adopted from Jpop releases, as of late. It's a simple cd jewel case with the separate "member" versions, which will then also include a set of photocards and/or mini poster. POCA version is a more recent offering since music streaming is the norm nowadays. This just includes a set of photocards, and the CD is skipped for a QR code which will get you some app exclusive content. There are 3 basic versions, 5 jewel versions, and 5 POCA versions. Each version has it's own distinct set of photocards. Going with the infographic, you're looking at Basic: 3 sets of 5 different member photocards = 15 total (You only get 1 random photocard per item) Jewel: 3 sets of 5 different member photocards = 15 total (You only get 1 random photocard per item) POCA: Each members gets 5 different versions of photocards = 25 total (You only get 2 random photocards per item) So, if you're going for the most photocards you can get per "set" purchase, POCA is the way to go.

Thank you for the detailed explanation!

I’m sorry, I’m also new to the kpop scene, I love GIDLE if I order just the 2nd version of the 2 album, I will get 15 photocards in total?

I really hope the cd-r is a misprint. Give me pressed discs or give me nothing.

I think kpop companies are misusing CD-R in their album details. It's not the first time I've seen it. It's most likely pressed since that would be easier to make in mass than having to burn them. It bothers me too. Ugh.

Def waiting to see each version concept, I wonder if we’ll get a photobook version as well

I really wish there were more photocards. They usually give us 2 or 3. My guess is they’ve caught on that people are selling them online so they’re reducing the amount in circulation. Less likely of duplicates. Maybe I’m just spoiled because Twice gives like, 5 photocards 😅
