CIRCLEPHOTOBOOK

SHINee – CIRCLE (PHOTOBOOK) is one physical edition of the 1st full album by SHINee, released on March 6, 2023. This is a physical CD: disc, photobook and cards in one box. The album is released by SM Entertainment.

The box declared by the distributor holds one photobook, 2 posters, and one box. The photobook runs to 84 pages. One photocard is drawn at random out of 2 designs: two copies do not give the same cards. It also holds ARTIST, TITLE, and LABEL, as declared by the distributor.

4 POB are listed for this version: KPOPHERO Wholesale gives Folded Poster : First press only (1 out of 2) - and KPOPHERO Wholesale gives Photocard : First press only (Random 1 out of 3). 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.

CIRCLE comes in 4 versions: PHOTOBOOK, SMini SMART ALBUM, QR SMART ALBUM, 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: 2 posters and one box.

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 8809755505028 points to this exact edition: it is the code to check before buying, because every version carries its own.
