New In | April K-Pop Haul

I'm back with another K-Pop Haul post! You can see the first one here: New In | K-Pop Haul.
Also I have a couple of extra photocards, some Bt21 merch and a few other things that I'm thinking of selling, so if anyone's interested let me know!


GOT7 - Eyes On You | Stray Kids - I Am Not | GOT7 - Flight Log: Arrival - Singed by Jinyoung If you saw my last post you would have seen that I already bought GOT7's Flight Log: Arrival. It was only after I bought the signed one on Mwave that I realised I had just bought the exact same one a couple weeks before, but I didn't mind too much because I was hoping to get some photocards that I didn't have.
My 4th Muster things finally arrived!! I managed to order them when they were released on February 21st (I think) and I didn't hear anything until the end of March, I even messaged the staff twice for an update but I didn't get any response (I think because they had a large amounts of orders to sort through and send) but it finally arrived well over a month later.
I bought the mini photo card pack, cloud card set, memorial label tag and the photo binder. You can see some of the cards I got in the picture below. These are all the photocards that I got, 4 official ones I bought from Ebay, 1 came as a gift with one of the albums and the rest are from the albums. Luckily I didn't get any doubles from the Stray Kids or Flight Log: Arrival albums and the Stray Kids album came with two packs of pre-order post cards and two posters (which I haven't opened yet).

New In | K-Pop Haul

So I haven't done a haul post since way back in 2013 (you can find it here: New In), that's 4 years ago people!.

Since I got into K-pop I've been buying bits and pieces every month so I thought I would show you what I bought over the last month. I'm hoping to make this a regular thing either every month or every 2 months, so keep an eye out for more!


BTS - You Never Walk Alone x2, 화양연화 x2, GOT7 - Flight Log: Arrival, BTS - 2 Cool 4 Skool These are the photocards that came last month, 7 of which came from 5 of the albums above, 3 I bought and 4 were gifts that came with an album. All of these including the albums were bought on Ebay. Now these beauties are the BTS BT21 products from Amazon. I missed out on the products the first time round but a few weeks later they did a restock (without telling anyone) and I managed to grab a couple of bits, although I think I may sell two of the item. I really wanted some of the cushions but I don't know if they sold out before I visited the site or they were never restocked.

How I Discovered K-Pop

Yes you have indeed read that correctly!

In my Christmas Wishlist post I mentioned that I had asked for BTS' Skool Luv Affair album and that I would explain more about my K-Pop discovery in a separate post.
Well here it is!

Earlier this year (I think) a friend of mine posted a video on her snapchat of a guy called Jimin singing, I thought it sounded good so I took a screenshot and told myself that I would look him up later and I did, 3 times but I wasn't really sure who I was looking for so I gave up.
When I realised that the letters I kept seeing when I typed in his name 'BTS' was the name of the group he is in I decided to Google "Jimin BTS" which led me to their YouTube channel where I watched my first ever K-Pop music video - DNA.

After watching the video a few more times and then downloading the song on my phone there was no turning back. A few days later I watched all their MVs, signed up to Vlive (an app that lets you watch broadcasts live and recorded), followed them on twitter (which I'm using properly for the first time in years), pre-ordered The Wings Tour Trilogy DVD, ordered the 화양연화 on stage: epilogue DVD and I've even started to learn Korean (but more on that in another post).

Now I know all you BTS fans are dying to know who my bias is, of course I love them all (like really love them) but I love some a tiny bit more then others, although lets be honest they're all bias wreckers who make me question my choice on a daily basis.
Now my original bias was Jungkook as soon as the DNA video started, but after watching the video multiple times I started to change my mind. In no particular order (because I absolutely can't choose) there's Jimin from multiple viewings of DNA, No More Dream, Run and listening to Lie. J-hope, again from multiple viewings of DNA but especially after hearing and watching Boy Meets Evil and finally Suga, because Min Yoongi is absolutely everything especially after I heard Agust D and Fire.

There's so much I've missed out on in the past 4 years since they debuted, but boy am I glad that I've found them now!

Let me know if you're a K-Pop fan and what groups you love! All are welcome, BTS may be my ultimate favs but I've listened to loads of bangers from groups such as Monsta X, EXO, Seventeen, Red Velvet etc.
