About this album
Essence of Reverie is the 5th mini album by EXO, released on May 19, 2025. 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 Essence of Reverie is not verified in pocabase yet. It stays the same from one physical edition to the next: the box changes, the music does not.
Essence of Reverie comes out in 4 physical editions: kiwee Platform Album, Special Kkuru Jam, Photobook, 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. Formats on offer: platform album and CD.
Across all versions, the box can hold one photobook, 9 photocards, 7 sticker sheets, 16 lyric booklets, one disc, one QR or NFC card, and one box. The photocard count runs from 1 to 9 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 Essence of Reverie 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 4 versions, 3 carry a recorded EAN: this 13-digit barcode names one precise edition, and it is the safest check before buying.
