EXISTSMini

EXO – EXIST (SMini) is one physical edition of the 7th full album by EXO, released on July 10, 2023. A platform album holds no disc: the music plays through a QR card or an NFC chip, in the distributor app.

The box declared by the distributor holds one photocard. One photocard is announced. One photocard is drawn at random out of 8 designs: two copies do not give the same cards. It also holds ARTIST, TITLE, and LABEL, 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.

EXIST comes in 7 versions, among them SMini, DIGIPACK, PHOTOBOOK, and PHOTO BOOK. The tracklist does not change from one version to the next: only the box, the photocards and the artwork do. SMini is the only one in platform album format. The declared contents of SMini match the other versions: the database records no difference in items.

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 8804775256110 points to this exact edition: it is the code to check before buying, because every version carries its own.
