K-Pop Haul - TWICE, BLACKPINK, MOMOLAND & DreamNote

Rounded up all my recent K-Pop purchases for a haul post! I brought these gems over the course of the last few months and thought I had a good amount to share on the blog. All of these CD's were brought from JBHIFI apart from DreamNote which I got from eBay. Here are all the beauties that I added to my collection!


First up is TWICE's 9th Mini Album 'More & More' in the B Version. Both this and the MOMOLAND album were special order items from JBHIFI, so the version you get is entirely random. I'm always happy with TWICE releases though as they have stunning photobooks and a wealth of photocards! The for the CD, I got Sana's which is gorgeous and I've included a photo of all the photocards I got. Can't believe this release had 100 photocards you could get! I can't imagine the pain collectors have to go through to get their faves.




Now onto DreamNote's 2nd Single 'Dream:us' which I brought from Korea on eBay. I'd been looking at getting this single for a while as I love the aesthetics and concept of the single design. I already had DreamNote's first single 'Dreamlike' which is another beautifully designed single. Plus I really like the songs on this single and look at how many photocards you get! Seems there are 22 to collect for this single and you get 4 each time, so it wouldn't take too long to collect them if there's a few fans around. I'm not sure if DreamNote is popular or not, I think they are cute and like buying their releases to support them.






Back to the JBHIFI purchases with MOMOLAND's special album 'Starry Night'. It seems like forever since I brought a new MOMOLAND release. It's weird to think I used to collect them all the time and then just stopped. I think once Daisy left and the group lost momentum, I kinda lost interest in getting their releases before others. Starry Night is a nice release and has some lovely photos of the girls. And it's nice to see a different shaped MOMOLAND Korean release for once after those giant albums we had for a while. I got a Nancy photocard which is great as I don't have too many of hers but I would've loved to have gotten Ahin's as I usually got hers.





Got two more BLACKPINK items for the collection! Amazingly I have quite a few releases from this group which is mainly because it's the only girl group JBHIFI stocks on a regular basis. I pre-ordered the 'How You Like That' single and you get quite a few posters with this release! This single is huge and is by far the tallest K-Pop release I own. The photobook is quite nice but not my favourite from the group. The other BLACKPINK release I got is the standard version of their first album 'The Album'. I did originally want to get one of the other versions when they first announced them but each album was $99 at the store. So I decided to pass as you can get them way cheaper online and it would've an expensive exercise to collect all the versions. Lucky for me, a standard CD only version was released shortly after and I even got it during the 20% music sale so it was even cheaper!




Seems my photocard box is getting quite full! It's pretty much reached the top after this haul. I just use this mirror jewellery box to store any photocards that will fit. I have more around the place that are too large and I usually keep those with their corresponding releases. I'm not planning on buying anymore Asian pop CD's in the next few months so at least it won't over flow soon.
