TOUGH LOVETOWEL BOOK SET

SHINee – TOUGH LOVE (TOWEL BOOK SET) 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 3 photocards and 2 boxes. 2 photocards are announced. One photocard is drawn at random out of 3 designs: two copies do not give the same cards. It also holds Towel Book Green Ver. and Towel Book Pink Ver., 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.

TOUGH LOVE comes in 5 versions, among them TOWEL BOOK SET, POCKET BOOK, NOTE, and 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 TOWEL BOOK SET 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 8809954225703 points to this exact edition: it is the code to check before buying, because every version carries its own.
