RubyPhotobook

BLACKPINK – Ruby (Photobook) is one physical edition of the 1st full album by BLACKPINK. This is a physical CD: disc, photobook and cards in one box.

The album holds 14 tracks.

The box declared by the distributor holds one photobook, 3 photocards, one poster, one postcard, and 7 sticker sheets. The photobook runs to 136 pages. 3 photocards are announced. 3 photocards are drawn at random out of 7 designs: two copies do not give the same cards. It also holds Carousel Card, as declared by the distributor.

No POB is listed for this version in pocabase. A POB (preorder benefit) is a bonus from the retailer, never from the label: it changes from one shop to the next and is gone once the preorder window closes.

Ruby comes in 2 versions: Photobook and Digipack. The tracklist does not change from one version to the next: only the box, the photocards and the artwork do. Photobook declares more items on these points: one poster, one postcard, and 7 sticker sheets.

This is an official edition: bought from an authorised retailer, it counts towards the Hanteo and Circle charts, which measure physical sales in South Korea. EAN 8804775452871 points to this exact edition: it is the code to check before buying, because every version carries its own.
