THE CORE

THE CORE is the 1st full album by XG, released on January 24, 2026. This page gathers every physical edition listed in pocabase: box contents, photocard count, retailer POB and EAN, version by version, so you can pick one without opening ten tabs.

The tracklist of THE CORE is not verified in pocabase yet. It stays the same from one physical edition to the next: the box changes, the music does not.

THE CORE comes out in 10 physical editions, among them REGULAR, Solo HARVEY, Solo HINATA, XG, Solo CHISA, and Solo JURIN. From one version to the next the music does not change: the box contents do. What changes from one version to the next: the photobook, the photocards, the poster, and the postcards.

Across all versions, the box can hold one photobook, 2 photocards, one poster, one postcard, 3 sticker sheets, one lyric booklet, and one disc. Every version announces 1 photocard. Part of the photocards are drawn at random: two copies of the same album do not give the same cards, which is what keeps trading alive between fans.

9 POB are listed for this album, across 1 retailer: KPOPHERO Wholesale. For instance, KPOPHERO Wholesale gives Solo Trading Card : Pre-Order Only (Random 1 out of 7). A POB (preorder benefit) is a bonus given by the retailer during the preorder window, never by the label: it changes from one retailer to the next and is gone afterwards. It is often what decides where to preorder.

These are official editions: bought from an authorised retailer, they count towards the Hanteo and Circle charts, which measure physical sales in South Korea and feed the music show rankings and votes. No EAN is recorded for these versions yet. The EAN is the 13-digit barcode that names one precise edition: it is the safest check before buying.
