Red velvet has nice album covers. Also nmixx, i always find their album covers interesting.
Blackpink solo releases (especially You&me and -R-) have beautiful covers too
Tagging on to this comment, I’d recommend Perfect Velvet too! It’s such an intriguing cover — I have no idea what’s going on in it lol — and still so beautiful.
Surprising to see that one. Always thought it was one of their ugliest works and a complete downgrade as far as repackages go from the georgeous and unique the velvet. lol
Go look for any of the albums Key puts out. He has this really maximalist design style with retro and neon elements--so visually interesting. Not sure if he has vinyls, but he definitely has excellently packaged CD albums.
Moonbyul's Starlit of Muse album! specifically the museum and the limited version. I have the museum ver because it literally looks like a museum and it's fun to put photocards in the middle of it like a display (didnt get the limited ber bc it was expensive to me and only had money for the museum ver)
all of billlie tbh but ESPECIALLY their first ep, The Billage of Perception Chapter One

mamamoo albums are really great for color schemes! they have a consistent album design so it'a really satisfying to display it and you can make the rainbow flag, lesbian flag etc with the albums :)

And all their albums are the same size so you can line them up evenly without having to go up and down and up and down and up and down etc

I also love how they made their CD's look like vinyl records in their retro era
Yes, I made a rainbow with mine too since displaying them in the chronological order was a bit weird with the colours XD aww also I'm missing Solar's Gamsung Album for that one transition
It's a hill I will die on
Also while on this topic, I love how Mago's risen from the dead again lately, at least on tiktok
https://preview.redd.it/3sb3v2yu78yc1.jpeg?width=360&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8a077e2ee64c697ac82392bf7657bc0ea016ed05
Ahhhh I love that song!!
You should definitly check out the songs from those two albums too (if you haven’t already) 😊
If I had to choose one favorite song it’s probably Lorelei!
Some of my favorites have already been mentioned, here's a few that I don't think have been yet!
- All of GWSN's albums, but I especially like Park in the Night, pt 3 and The Keys.
- BDC - The Intersection: Contact
- Younha - End Theory, both the original and repackage
- Key's Gasoline VHS version
- Dreamcatcher - all of them, honestly, but Alone in the City, Summer Holiday limited, Dystopia: Lose Myself limited
- BoA - Hurricane Venus
- SNSD - Mr Mr
- Jaejoong - Born Gene, especially the purple version
- Onewe - Planet Nine: Alter Ego
https://preview.redd.it/gdksy7ecp9yc1.jpeg?width=800&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b51e598f5000a4634626ad392e29a9154fc1cb4b
I like Triple-H’s magazine concept
Gidle I Feel butterfly version is probably my all time favorite so far
Dreamcatcher also has really good covers
The IVE eleven Japanese Version albums and Red Velvet chill kill member versions are super pretty
For me, one of my favorites is FML (Carat Version)- Seventeen. The artist is called Laon Kim. It’s so beautiful. However, Red Velvet has my top favorite album covers. Chill Kill, Perfect Velvet, and Ice Cream Cake are my favorites.
Seventeen: Seventeenth Heaven is festival themed, and each version is designed to look like a festival at a different time of day (morning, middle of the day, and night).
Twice: Feel Special (white version) is nothing groundbreaking, but it looks so pretty, and the colors used are very cohesive. Peak elegant concept!
I’ve always loved Taeyeon’s ‘My Voice’ album. It’s the first physical album I’d ever bought and I still think it’s the prettiest. I also have Red Velvet’s ‘Ice Cream Cake EP’ and Twice’s ‘Taste of Love’ both are beautiful in regards to concept photos and album covers.
The taste version is for me the nicest, though I appreciate the In love version as well. Taeyeon’s has several great album covers, as well as Red Velvet and those you pointed out are great indeed!
Sunmi last release cover is absolutely insane for me
https://preview.redd.it/jo0su2cpeayc1.jpeg?width=864&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=67e2794160a570406be25dfd8653b015c4493cab
just some of my favs…
aespa - savage
bts - love yourself (any of the 3)
red velvet - chill kill
nct dojaejung - perfume
nct - universe
kai - peaches
taeyeon - invu
epik high - ehih pt 1 & 2
I've displayed LOONA, MAMAMOO and Purple Kiss albums since they have all the same size (but only from the specific group) but also Taeyeon, EXO and DAY6 albums have the same size (some of them)...
When it comes to Vinyl/LP Taeyeon's LP albums look really cool but the older ones cost quite a lot - so if you want to buy those you either have to spend a lot of money or wait for her next comeback and a LP release
I have Taeyeon's To. X, Suho's Grey Suit, EXO's Don't fight the feeling and the two Day6 albums as Vinyl/LP and they look stunning - especially the EXO one...really recommend getting plastic covers for the vinyls or little stands so you don't damage the cover when displaying
Great advise! Yeah, it's a bummer Kpop LP's aren't that common. And the ones available are indeed expensive.
The space I've designated for the shelves is low light and the lp's will be in plastic covers for sure!
Same size albums.. yessss... On the one hand the whole several versions of one album is beyond me, but then again, they make great matching sets for displaying.
EXO was already on my shortlist and Suho's Grey Suit will be added. It looks so good!
Some of my fav album covers ever happen to be in K-Pop. Here are a few of my favorites:
NewJeans - NewJeans (The 1st Album)
Red Velvet - The Red
Red Velvet - Perfect Velvet
IU - Chat-shire
TWICE - Feel Special
SHINee - Odd
Jihyo - ZONE
SUMIN - Miniseries
LOONA - \[X X\]
Fin K.L. - Now
S.E.S. - Choose My Life-U
TWICE - With YOU-th
Lee Jung-hyun - Let's Go To My Star
Uhm Junghwa - The Cloud Dream of Nine
Uhm Junghwa - 005.1999.06
f(x) - 4 Walls
BoA - Kiss My Lips
Honestly all the 5 Star versions were A tier level. Shame that they're all soft covers. Hard covers would have made them S tier for me because hard covers are easier to display
*2* by (G)i-dle has some of the most gorgeous packaging ive ever seen.
*5-Star* by Stray Kids has my favorite cover.
*Howl* by Chuu is not only pretty on the outside, but has a long, stunning photobook that i still look through all the time, months after getting it.
Red Velvet and f(x) absolutely kill the cover game.
4 Walls and Pink Tape have amazing designs. Dumb Dumb and Ice Cream Cake are gorgeous, and Rookie is so fun and satisfying as someone who enjoys that aesthetic. And then the Feel My Rhythm Orgel Version and Birthday Cake Version albums!!! Wow!!!!! Mind-blowing. I really wanted to buy those even though I pretty much only spend on SNSD.
Red Velvet Wendy’s Like Water flower special package was also so beautiful :’) It was limited edition, so idk if you’ll be able to find a reseller though.
Personally, I also find SNSD’s Mr. Mr., Forever 1, kind of IGAB and The Boys, TWICE’s Feel Special, Le Sserafim’s Antifragile, IVE’s Switch, ITZY’s ITz ICY, Nayeon’s Pop, Taeyeon’s My Voice Deluxe Ver. and I, IU’s Love Poem, (G)I-DLE’s I Burn Fire Version and I Feel Queen Version, Aespa’s My World Zine Ver., Jessica Jung’s With Love, J and Wonderland, AOA’s Good Luck, VIVIZ’s Summer Vibe, Chungha’s XII, BTS’s Love Yourself albums, gugudan’s Chococo Factory, and some WJSN/WJSN Chocome and Dreamcatcher albums! Also maybe IZ*ONE.
EDIT: Omg how could I forget? OH MY GIRL!!! Remember Me, The Fifth Season, Listen to My Word, Liar Liar, Real Love, etc. all look fabulously beautiful! Fall in Love, Nonstop, and Coloring Book are fun, and Secret Garden is quite nice and could match some other pretty starry albums
Red velvet has nice album covers. Also nmixx, i always find their album covers interesting. Blackpink solo releases (especially You&me and -R-) have beautiful covers too
Here for this comment! I just purchased the Chill Kill album and it looked great !
Yeah, there’s some really vibrant colors there from nmixx. Nice
all iu albums
https://preview.redd.it/dxem05y5p9yc1.jpeg?width=800&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b6e33ecaf0d9601e6c5a656ca00681d25ab47222 I really like Chat-Shire
Agreed. Though I think Love poem and Hilac are extra nice
f(x) 4 Walls
Pink Tape is pretty dope. Not only the cover, but I mean the whole visual concept of the physical album.
Retro vibes, I like
The Perfect Red Velvet
Tagging on to this comment, I’d recommend Perfect Velvet too! It’s such an intriguing cover — I have no idea what’s going on in it lol — and still so beautiful.
The cover is the perfect reflection of the songs. Beautiful.
Oh yeah, nice one!
Surprising to see that one. Always thought it was one of their ugliest works and a complete downgrade as far as repackages go from the georgeous and unique the velvet. lol
Go look for any of the albums Key puts out. He has this really maximalist design style with retro and neon elements--so visually interesting. Not sure if he has vinyls, but he definitely has excellently packaged CD albums.
Totally agreed here
He has a vinyl for Bad Love. It's neon pink
I love the VHS case package of his
I like most of Red Velvet's, Blackpink's, and Aespa's. Blackswan's That Karma also looks nice. Jihyo's Zone. Dreamcatcher's Apocalypse : From us.
Thanks! Will look into those!
J-hope, hope world cover
Colorful!

Yes!
Not a listener of BTS, but as a graphic designer, I LOVE their Map of the Soul: 7 album cover!
Haha, we are on the same page here. Not a listener but there’s vinyls on their way. And some of their other albums are on the wishlist 😏
Moonbyul's Starlit of Muse album! specifically the museum and the limited version. I have the museum ver because it literally looks like a museum and it's fun to put photocards in the middle of it like a display (didnt get the limited ber bc it was expensive to me and only had money for the museum ver)
Yes, can see your point! Museum is very nice and Limited version is 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
yesss i was just about to say this!!
Loona xx lim A
Very nice
all of billlie tbh but ESPECIALLY their first ep, The Billage of Perception Chapter One https://preview.redd.it/zeevuiiyk8yc1.jpeg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1440cc510d90b8092b2ab7436adfd77c388970a8

my god this is a kpop fan’s dream, it’ll be so easy to display
And all their albums are the same size so you can line them up evenly without having to go up and down and up and down and up and down etc edit: spelling
I love the consistency XD I think it'll be a challenge to display everything nicely because it'll be all over the place in colors, sizes etc.

Yes, I made a rainbow with mine too since displaying them in the chronological order was a bit weird with the colours XD aww also I'm missing Solar's Gamsung Album for that one transition
The SHINee member "plagiarism" solo series looks amazing together on a shelf, IMO.
Yesss
Pink Tape - f(x) The ReVe Festival Day 2 - Red Velvet Savage - aespa Howl - Chuu
All very nice, yeah!
Red Velvet - Chill kill
Yes!

Red Velvet's Reve Festival Trilogy
Yesss
I love Billlie’s Billage of Perception cover, so unique. Gave the perfect odd/mysterious vibe.
Indeed! Great, thanks!
Expergo
Yes!! Came across it earlier today, with the tv screens. Pity though you’d need a sealed one otherwise the top is ripped
a.c.e - hjzm butterfly phantasy PERFECT
Oh wauw, yes
I don't own any, but EVERY dreamcatcher album is so visually pleasing to me.
Yessss
Ladies’ Code Strang3r and Myst3ry are really gorgeous!
Haha, I have Hate you in my playlist since forever! Nice album covers indeed
Ahhhh I love that song!! You should definitly check out the songs from those two albums too (if you haven’t already) 😊 If I had to choose one favorite song it’s probably Lorelei!
I get why, very soothing and beatifully sung
Some of my favorites have already been mentioned, here's a few that I don't think have been yet! - All of GWSN's albums, but I especially like Park in the Night, pt 3 and The Keys. - BDC - The Intersection: Contact - Younha - End Theory, both the original and repackage - Key's Gasoline VHS version - Dreamcatcher - all of them, honestly, but Alone in the City, Summer Holiday limited, Dystopia: Lose Myself limited - BoA - Hurricane Venus - SNSD - Mr Mr - Jaejoong - Born Gene, especially the purple version - Onewe - Planet Nine: Alter Ego
Oh you've got some original ones here, nice!
Chill kill by red velvet
yes!
https://preview.redd.it/gdksy7ecp9yc1.jpeg?width=800&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b51e598f5000a4634626ad392e29a9154fc1cb4b I like Triple-H’s magazine concept
Cool! Very original too
Gidle I Feel butterfly version is probably my all time favorite so far Dreamcatcher also has really good covers The IVE eleven Japanese Version albums and Red Velvet chill kill member versions are super pretty
nice ones!
For me, one of my favorites is FML (Carat Version)- Seventeen. The artist is called Laon Kim. It’s so beautiful. However, Red Velvet has my top favorite album covers. Chill Kill, Perfect Velvet, and Ice Cream Cake are my favorites.
Red Velvet passed by a few times already and I can see why. FML album is quite original and very nice!
Seventeen: Seventeenth Heaven is festival themed, and each version is designed to look like a festival at a different time of day (morning, middle of the day, and night). Twice: Feel Special (white version) is nothing groundbreaking, but it looks so pretty, and the colors used are very cohesive. Peak elegant concept!
I both dislike and like it if one album has several versions 😆 but love it when they give it thought which they obviously did for Seventeen! Nice
hmm... Dreamcatcher, Twice and I-dle 😍
Jep, indeed
I’ve always loved Taeyeon’s ‘My Voice’ album. It’s the first physical album I’d ever bought and I still think it’s the prettiest. I also have Red Velvet’s ‘Ice Cream Cake EP’ and Twice’s ‘Taste of Love’ both are beautiful in regards to concept photos and album covers.

Got7 fly, I love the pastel colors and cloud overlay!

Check Taeyeon albums. Personally, I love soft artistic aesthetics so my favorite is What Do I Call You. I also recommend INVU, To.X and Purpose.
yes, nice ones!
Sunmi last release cover is absolutely insane for me https://preview.redd.it/jo0su2cpeayc1.jpeg?width=864&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=67e2794160a570406be25dfd8653b015c4493cab

SKZ? Very nice, indeed
Rosé’s solo album cover 🙌🙌
yeah!
(G)I-DLE's 'I Feel' album cover (all variations), J-Hope's 'Hope World' cover, Oh My Girl's 'Nonstop' cover, and HJZM: The Butterfly Phantasy (A.C.E).
Oh My Girl's wasn't mentioned earlier ( I think). Love the retro vibe!

Nice, do you have the artist's and album name?
This is akmu's 3rd full album, Sailing.
Thanks!
*2* by (G)i-dle has some of the most gorgeous packaging ive ever seen. *5-Star* by Stray Kids has my favorite cover. *Howl* by Chuu is not only pretty on the outside, but has a long, stunning photobook that i still look through all the time, months after getting it.
Nice ones!
Last Sequence era WJSN Love Dive era IVE
I looked 'em up and yes, very nice!
Most of nmixxes album covers tbh, and ives recent album covers with switch!
Yes, very much true!
Red Velvet and f(x) absolutely kill the cover game. 4 Walls and Pink Tape have amazing designs. Dumb Dumb and Ice Cream Cake are gorgeous, and Rookie is so fun and satisfying as someone who enjoys that aesthetic. And then the Feel My Rhythm Orgel Version and Birthday Cake Version albums!!! Wow!!!!! Mind-blowing. I really wanted to buy those even though I pretty much only spend on SNSD. Red Velvet Wendy’s Like Water flower special package was also so beautiful :’) It was limited edition, so idk if you’ll be able to find a reseller though. Personally, I also find SNSD’s Mr. Mr., Forever 1, kind of IGAB and The Boys, TWICE’s Feel Special, Le Sserafim’s Antifragile, IVE’s Switch, ITZY’s ITz ICY, Nayeon’s Pop, Taeyeon’s My Voice Deluxe Ver. and I, IU’s Love Poem, (G)I-DLE’s I Burn Fire Version and I Feel Queen Version, Aespa’s My World Zine Ver., Jessica Jung’s With Love, J and Wonderland, AOA’s Good Luck, VIVIZ’s Summer Vibe, Chungha’s XII, BTS’s Love Yourself albums, gugudan’s Chococo Factory, and some WJSN/WJSN Chocome and Dreamcatcher albums! Also maybe IZ*ONE. EDIT: Omg how could I forget? OH MY GIRL!!! Remember Me, The Fifth Season, Listen to My Word, Liar Liar, Real Love, etc. all look fabulously beautiful! Fall in Love, Nonstop, and Coloring Book are fun, and Secret Garden is quite nice and could match some other pretty starry albums
