HOW?

HOW? is the 2nd mini album by BOYNEXTDOOR. 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.

The tracklist of HOW? is not verified in pocabase yet. It stays the same from one physical edition to the next: the box changes, the music does not.

HOW? comes out in 5 physical editions: Weverse Albums, KIT, STICKER, Standard, 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 poster, and the postcards. Formats on offer: platform album, kit album, and CD.

Across all versions, the box can hold one photobook, 22 photocards, one poster, one postcard, and one sticker sheet. The photocard count runs from 1 to 22 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 72 pages.

No POB is listed for HOW? in pocabase. 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.
