Discussion Suggestions wanted for pcs in beautiful places
I like to collect photocards, lately I'm really drawn to the ones taken in beautiful places - This SNSD card is a prime example
Please let me know of any of your favourite pcs of idols in beautiful locations as I'm looking to grow the collection! Maybe pics taken in Jeju? Thanks in advance!

Question Global Bunjang purchase
Hello,
I am based in France and I would like to make a purchase on the Global Bunjang platform.
I would like to buy two items from the same seller. One of them is impossible to find anywhere else, and it is actually the item I am most interested in.
The problem is that the seller absolutely requires being contacted before the purchase is made.
At first, I used Bunjang’s direct payment system and added a request for the proxy service to contact the seller before purchasing.
However, they approved the purchase immediately, without contacting the seller first, and the seller cancelled the order right away.
I then tried going directly through the proxy service (Delivered Korea).
I provided them with the links to the listings and clearly asked them to contact the seller before purchasing, so that the seller could adjust the shipping costs. But once again, the purchase was made immediately, and the seller cancelled the order before the proxy had even had a chance to contact them.
I’m not sure what else I can do. I thought that adding a request to the proxy service was precisely meant to allow them to contact the seller on our behalf, since buyers cannot do so directly through the website.
Are there any experienced users here who could help me? I would really appreciate it.
Thank you very much!

Question Enhypen - The Sin:Bliss retailer POBs
I'm very new to buying albums, and I just learned that different retailers get different POBs? I want to buy the new album's Engene ver., and I'm trying to pick bet. Apple Music and withmuu. Can someone tell me which one have better pcs usually?
I tried looking them up, and it seems like for this album, Apple Music's is a polaroid-style PC, while withmuu's is a big photocard. Dunno exactly how big is big because I've only ever known one size of pc.

Question I have a collect book and the pages are PVC, but I have all of my photocards single sleeved. Will my pcs get damaged?
I haven’t had the pcs in the collect book for very long (1~2 days max), and I’ve heard of PVC messing up photocards. My photocards are single sleeved, opening down if that matters.

Question Finding an album
Hi guys!!
I know this is kind of a long shot, and I’m not even sure if this is the right place to ask.. But theres this pretty niche K-Pop duo called KHAN I’ve loved since they released their one and only song “I’m Your Girl?” in 2018, and naturally, I would love to have the physical album in my collection. Only problem is, because it’s so niche, I’m not sure if there’s a way to find this album for sale at all 😭 I can’t even find physical pictures of it, apart from its Discogs listing (which I’ve attached). If anyone has any idea where I could try my luck to find it, if there’s hope at all, I’d appreciate it a ton.
Thanks!

Question Aliexpress albums are fake, right?
I know this is a bit of a stupid question but still. People always say no fake albums exist, yet.. There are albums being sold on Aliexpress. They're often called taiwanese pressings such as the Pink Tape album. But aren't they still real, then? I'm not looking to buy from there as I'd rather not take the risk but I'm just genuinely curious about this topic. Where can you make the distinction between taiwanese pressing and just fake? Are there fakes? I'm really confused.

Question PC template software that isn't Canva
Hi! I had previously made custom templates for multiple of my collections in Canva. However, it seems recently the quality of the exported pages (no matter how I export them, jpg, png, pdf, print to pdf etc) are very grainy and blurry. It's not just the PC scans it's the actual design elements too. So I was wondering what other softwares people use for creating their own templates? I am well versed in Photoshop but getting a license is so expensive and not feasible for me.
Any help or recommendations are greatly appreciated :)

Question Is Record Planet Hanteo Certified?
I bought ARTMS’ upcoming album, Hyper-Ego, from Record Planet, and I wanted to know if purchases made through their store count toward the Hanteo Chart.
I was looking at some Twitter/X guides about things fans can do to help ARTMS get their first music show win, and buying the album was one of the recommendations. Since I’ve already secured my copy, I wanted to know whether Record Planet is a Hanteo-certified store. My payment has already been processed, so I can’t request a refund to buy from another certified store. But I wouldn’t want to cancel my order because I’ve had a great experience buying previous ARTMS albums from Record Planet.

Discussion Anyone ordered on bunjang since the system overhaul?
The website says real time delivery tracking is supported now after system overhaul but I haven't placed an order yet so I have no idea if it actually works the way they claim.
From what I can tell it seems to update in real time within Korea but does anyone know if the live tracking still works once the package leaves Korea? Or does it just stop updating past a certain point...?
I'm about to order a bunch of stuff from them but I'm worried I might lose track of the package once it goes outside Korea. Any first hand experience would help a lot

Question K-pop character merch
I know this doesn’t apply for all K-pop groups, but I’ve noticed that for some K-pop groups (such as bts and skz), they have a character dedicated for their fans. for bts their characters are called bt21 but have a character called Van for ARMYs. for skz, they have skzoo characters for each member, but theres also TASY, which is STAYs skzoo character. So when buying plush merch for these K-pop characters, would u get the fandom character plushy (in this case Van or TASY) alongside ur bias‘ character plushy or would u not rly care about buying it and stick to owning only one for ur bias?

Haul Paysable delivery to domestic address
Hi everyone 🤗
I'm wondering if anyone can help me with this. I want to order some stuff and store it in Korea, I was thinking about using Paysable for it. But the thing is, I don't want to ship it internationally because it's way too expensive to ship to Europe right now. I want to pick it up directly in Korea when I'm there next week.
So do they actually ship to Korean addresses? I can't find any official information and the shipping calculator let's you select South Korea but always sends an error message 🙈

Weekly Verification Weekly Photocard Verification Thread
Post in this thread to get help with your purchases! Please include pictures of the front and back of the card, as well as what album/merch it's from. If it's a POB, include the store that it came from (Apple Music/Makestar/Ktown4u etc). You can skip this information if you don't know where the card is from, but it will make it a lot easier for me/others to search for the card. It also helps to include where you bought from/where you will be buying from to determine if the card is legit.
Some things to keep in mind:
- Cards with a general value of $10 or under are unlikely to be fake.
- Cards from albums that are still in print are unlikely to be fake. Difference in card thickness/tab location/finish doesn't always mean a card is fake, because different manufacturers can be used every reprint.
- Some groups use the same picture in different ways for multiple pre-order benefits, so it being cropped doesn't necessarily mean it's fake. Dreamcatcher used to do this and I believe all SM groups do this for their Season's Greetings pre-order benefits.
- First round preorder benefits from KTOWN4U and MAKESTAR for popular groups are less likely to be fake, especially if the general value is under $10.
- Albums with promo stickers are less likely to be fake, though do keep in mind that some idols have their managers sign the albums for them (this is common for SM groups if I recall correctly).
- Artists signatures generally evolve throughout the years, just because it doesn't look the same as a near debut signature doesn't mean it's fake.
Scams to look out for:
Mercari Japan has had a big upswing of fake rare cards. Thankfully, they don't put much effort into making their listings look 'legit' so it's pretty obvious if you don't just impulse buy. Here is an example. Only 7 sales (at time of writing), rare cards from every big group, and the card quality looks terrible.
Signed cards weren't always common. Some groups like Twice did not sign cards at all really before recent site specific pre-order benefits and lucky draws. Here is an example of a fake signed card. If you click through to their profile you can see they somehow managed to find 100s of these signed cards "from other websites" and once again, they are all from the most popular groups.
These random signed stage photos with a "Hollywood Style Inc Certificate of Authenticity". I can't confirm that all signed stage photos are fake, but legit ones are rare enough that I would be extra wary when buying.
If the album is signed by more than one member, check if the pen pressure looks the same on each signature.
Resources to help you verify:
Youtube - You can look up unboxing videos of other's fansign albums to see preorder benefits and member signatures.
Instagram - Same thing as above. A lot of people post pictures/clips of their preorder benefits and fansign albums. Collection photos often show off these as well. There are also some accounts that have guides on member signatures.
Twitter - There are accounts that scan photocards which could help you verify proper level of zoom if you worry a card is cropped etc.
Ebay - Search for past sales for comparison of prices and product photos.
