合 (HOP)HIPTAPE

Stray Kids – 合 (HOP) (HIPTAPE) is one physical edition of 合 (HOP), a album by Stray Kids. This is an audio cassette, a collector format pressed in small numbers.

The box declared by the distributor holds one photobook, 2 photocards, one poster, one sticker sheet, and 2 discs. The photobook runs to 60 pages. 2 photocards are announced. One photocard is drawn at random out of 8 designs: two copies do not give the same cards. It also holds Trading Card Set and 4-Cuts Photo, as declared by the distributor.

2 POB are listed for this version: KPOPHERO Wholesale gives Folded Poster : First Press Only (1ea) and KPOPHERO Wholesale gives Graphic Sticker : First Press Only (1ea). 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.

合 (HOP) comes in 7 versions, among them HIPTAPE, PLATFORM ALBUM_NEMO, ACCORDION, and HIPTAPE LIMITED. The tracklist does not change from one version to the next: only the box, the photocards and the artwork do. HIPTAPE declares more items on these points: one poster and 2 discs.

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 8809954228476 points to this exact edition: it is the code to check before buying, because every version carries its own.
