TOUGH LOVENOTE

SHINee – TOUGH LOVE (NOTE) is one physical edition of the 5th mini album by SHINee, released on March 9, 2026. This is a physical CD: disc, photobook and cards in one box.

The box declared by the distributor holds one photobook, 3 photocards, one sticker sheet, one disc, and one box. The photobook runs to 88 pages. 2 photocards are announced. 2 photocards are drawn at random out of 6 designs: two copies do not give the same cards. It also holds 6-ring Binder, Instant Photo, and Clip, as declared by the distributor.

2 POB are listed for this version: KPOPHERO Wholesale gives Polaroid : First Press Limited (50ea) and KPOPHERO Wholesale gives Polaroid : First Press Limited (50ea). 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.

TOUGH LOVE comes in 5 versions, among them NOTE, POCKET BOOK, BOOK, and TOWEL BOOK. The tracklist does not change from one version to the next: only the box, the photocards and the artwork do. The declared contents of NOTE 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 8809954225758 points to this exact edition: it is the code to check before buying, because every version carries its own.
