@@sean_k0508 Actually, the music note doesn't really mean it's first press. I own a couple of late pressed albums and they all show the music icon. The music note is simply used as an indicator to detect if the album is fake or not. It is not used to indicate if an album is first press. I have a taste of love album from twice which I ordered around the start of 2023 yet it shows the music note even if i ordered it almost 2 years after its release.
As for making a fake kpop album, it is very easy to use cheap materials as most albums are just boxes/books which means they are mostly made out of cardboard/paper which are VERY cheap.
@@KookiesxCream It’s not about materials, it’s the labor. Do you really think a scammer would sit there for hours cutting out all the pages just to make a 15$ profit? The only way to make a big enough profit is if they had huge factory equipment, and at that point, they’d make more money just contracting with a real company to print legit albums. You should be more wary of fake photocards, which are waaay easier to duplicate. Even then, scammers don’t care to make fake photocards, because it’s so much easier to just print and make listings for lomos.
I think you can also check on the codes on the side of your album or the back (mine's all on the side of the album), like int for interpark and smth like that idk
I have the 5-star album ver. C and i was so scared to prove it and it was real, i was so relieved! ^^ I'm broke but i'm planning to buy Temptation, Get up, Maxident, Rock-star, New dna, dead lock and new jeans 1st e´p albumss, but i'm so broke
Did u buy from Amazon cuz I bought newjeans first album and skz 5 star and I think they are fake 😭 I checked for the sticker and there was so rainbow 😢
This put me at ease THANKS SO MUCH!!! I knew the ones from B&N and Target were real, but I recently went to a kpop store and also ordered from them so just to make sure, I did this AND THEY ARE ALL REAL 😮💨!!! I do have one album from Amazon that didn’t come with the sticker at all. . . So I’m assuming it’s not legit? I mean I can always buy two more ig-
albums sold in amazon are mostly produced overseas, which one was it? i've got superm and nct 127 albums at a mixup and they didn't have the sticker bc they were produced in america, i also have a japanese shinee album and it doesn't have the sticker, the komca sticker only proves the album was produced in korea
After seeing this video, I immediately practiced this method on my Kpop album too, wanting to see whether it was real or fake and it turned out that everything was real.😊
i have an skz 5 star album and i tried it but i couldn't really see anything then my heart skipped a beat but i looked closely and i saw the rainbow music note thing THANK GOD
Um what if you don’t have it on the album bcz only one had it and the rest didn’t bcz the one with the sticker on it was from Amazon and the rest was from target and it’s real btw
It costs a lot of money to make a kpop album, I doubt people would spend all that money and time to make one...
Do you have any sources/proof? In the case of Komca stickers, they get reprinted all the time. The music note just means it's first press

@@markelake because 1st press albums are still in stock if its a popular enough group. If it doesn't have a sticker, it was produced overseas.

As long as the album has the same inclusions i dotn rlly care
Same
Well if the album is fake so is the inclusions..meaning that you spend your money on fake merch that could be bought for like a dollar...
