Dirty Work

Dirty Work is a single album by aespa, released on June 27, 2025. It is released by SM Entertainment. This page gathers every physical edition listed in pocabase: box contents, photocard count, retailer POB and EAN, version by version, so you can pick one without opening ten tabs.

Dirty Work holds 2 tracks; the title track is “Dirty Work”. The tracklist is the same in every physical edition.

Dirty Work comes out in 5 physical editions: Dirty Crew Ring, Dirty Worker, Dirty Code, Dirty Case, and Cartes bonus. From one version to the next the music does not change: the box contents do. What changes from one version to the next: the photobook, the photocards, the stickers, and the lyric booklet.

Across all versions, the box can hold one photobook, 7 photocards, 2 sticker sheets, 16 lyric booklets, one disc, one QR or NFC card, and 3 boxes. The photocard count runs from 1 to 6 depending on the version. Part of the photocards are drawn at random: two copies of the same album do not give the same cards, which is what keeps trading alive between fans. The thickest photobook runs to 54 pages.

2 POB are listed for this album, across 2 retailers: SOUND WAVE and WEVERSE. For instance, SOUND WAVE gives POB. A POB (preorder benefit) is a bonus given by the retailer during the preorder window, never by the label: it changes from one retailer to the next and is gone afterwards. It is often what decides where to preorder.

These are official editions: bought from an authorised retailer, they count towards the Hanteo and Circle charts, which measure physical sales in South Korea and feed the music show rankings and votes. Out of 5 versions, 4 carry a recorded EAN: this 13-digit barcode names one precise edition, and it is the safest check before buying.
