welcome~
this video is LONG overdue since this was from April, but when I was in LA for the Stray Kids encore shows, I made it a point to stop by an in person kpop store for the very first time and maybe did a little bit too much damage. But yay!! new groups ✨
✧this video is NOT sponsored. I bought everything with my own funds, like the independent, broke kpop stan that I am, lol
thanks for stopping by~~

![HANGOUT VLOG W/ BESTIE [bookstore, unboxing kpop albums, shopping]](/img/n.gif)
this video was meant to be edited and uploaded months ago but.....life 😅
lots of things have changed, we'll chat more about that soon!!
28:10 it is indeed a reprint thing! the same thing happened with twice photocards from early albums, first presses were matte but now they’re printing them glossy! jype just loves to mess with us 😍
Don't apologise for spending your own money!
As somebody who *struggles* with names, I can wholeheartedly relate not being able to remember the names of Seventeen’s members. They’re one of my ult groups, but the amount of time it took for me to remember is… something.
It's like when you read the names, you're like oh yeah! I know them! But then you try to look at faces and put the name and then it's like, I have never heard your name before and you are totally unfamiliar, sir 😅 struggle is real, haha
It took me a long time to memorize all the NCT members too lol, but I would recommend familiarizing yourself with only one subgroup who’s music you like the most then moving on to another subgroup when you feel like you’re ready to learn more members/explore their discography.
Really fun video, thanks for sharing!
spent the whole video talking back and answering your questions 😭 and saying good job whenever you’d get the names right for NCT. hahahaha this was very enjoyable!!! excited to see where your NCT journey takes you
The happiest feeling of collecting your favorite kpop group albums
the way I learned nct's names was going by units, I learned all the names and faces in one unit and then went to the next unit! also before every full album comeback each unit goes on like a little get away thing to relax before their comback. so like 127 did stick together for sticker era and dream did 7hillin in my youth for hot sauce era. I'm not sure if way has done one but they have other content you can watch to get to know them, also there are a lot of guides on UA-cam that introduce you to all the members. I hope this helps!
Astro! I’m working on completing my Astro collection (albums, not photocards) and so it always makes me excited to see them in these kinds of videos- you are right, not enough people talk about them. What good luck on your pulls, it was definitely a sign. The polaroids are First Press Only, so doubly lucky, though it is a little sad they still had first press on the shelves. Eunwoo and Binnie are my two Astro biases, so I bought their polaroids even though I don’t normally collect inclusions.
i hard stan both seventeen and nct and trust me no one is mad at you for not knowing names LOL we completely understand that it can be really hard to learn all of them :) others have mentioned this in the comments too but as for getting to know nct more/learning names and faces i definitely recommend you learn them by each of the three main units of nct if that makes sense. when i first got into them i learned all of nct 127 because the main member who attracted me to nct in the first place is in that unit (doyoung), and then once i knew all of them i went to nct dream then wayv. oh and also this vid was really chill and comforting but also very entertaining, i loved it!!
AAAAA I MISSED YOUR VIDEOS SM!!! SO GLAD YOURE BACK!!
THE QUEEN IS BACK AHH
NO WAYYY !!! ive been your watcher for soo long always loving your collection videos even tho i dont stan skz myself and now youre here with an nct unboxing!! made my day fr !!
I wish I was more familiar with NCT, but they really do have some of my favorite albums ever. It was such a treat to finally open some. I definitely still have some on my wishlist 👀
1:00:05 haha yes! From a Dinonara, can confirm that that pc is in fact Dino! 💗 best of luck in your svt journey, I watched Going Seventeen a lot, and just content in general to learn everyone’s names, so it definitely wasn’t immediate, but it was fun!
you pulling the moonbin cards made me tear up so much, i miss him so
me as well....looking back on pulling those literally in April is bittersweet
It was really fun to watch your shopping vlog and the new endeavors on Kpop, Jess. Welcome to multi-stan collection life. I collect SKZ the most, especially Channie as you know. But I also collect some BTS, BLACKPINK, and NMIXX. So my bank account struggles. 🤑
I was delighted you got the SKZ PCs that you needed. I opened my binder while watching to see if my Hyunjin I am You card that I pulled from my album was matte, and it was. Very interesting to know that they change to glossy. My friend started to collect this year, her pull will probably be glossy too.
The struggles with the names are too real. I learned a lot just by watching photocard collectors, like 8raddy that you mention, Wonhead, Shawolzenl, and Honeydew mochi. I also learned a lot of names just watching K-pop news and variety shows, and also to know more about the artist's personality.
I can't wait for the next video! 🤩
I have watched a lot of kpop youtubers and I have never come across your page until now. I did like this video so I will continue to watch.
so glad you debuted nct on your channel!! skz and nct are my ults and i stan svt and txt as well so this video was a super pleasant surprise for me haha
love your unboxings so much
The reason the NCT Resonance and Universe albums have that kind of sewn binding is so the pages will lie flat... if it were a standard glued binding, you wouldn't be able to open it flat without creasing the spine. 😊
Resonance Pt 1 (both Past and Future versions) are probably my all time favorite photos of them. The photography is just on a whole other level entirely. Like, the photographers sole mission was to make every member look their absolute best... and they succeeded BIG TIME! 🫠
Personally, I've struggled putting names to faces of 5 member groups, so I never expected NCT to be as easy as it was... they all have such distinct faces and voices. I found watching behind-the-scenes content very helpful though, since the members names are listed when they're speaking. If there's one thing SM is excellent at, it's the massive amount of additional content that comes with every comeback... not to mention the random almost-daily stuff, because with 20 members someone is always doing something and filming it. 😂
I’m happy you finally got to visit an in person K-Pop store. I’ve always wanted to go to LA. My first one was the one in Atlanta’s Koreatown last year and now where I now live we have 3 stores (we recently got our 3rd and I won’t be able to see it at all in person this month). I used to live in Arkansas one of the worst places to be a K-Pop fan.
Ever since Txt debut, i’ve had a taehyun “curse” and A L W A Y S pull him! also, don’t worry about not being able to identify people. we will let you know who you pull if you need any help!!
I MISSED YOUU, so excited to see this video :))
I need to stop disappearing for months on here, haha 💗
you do not have to worry about not knowing ncts names and faces right off the bat, it took me over 6 months to put names to faces with nct and i've been a nctzen from day 1 its just they have a lot of members and it will take you a while plus it does not help that every comeback they have a different hair color and totally different style than they had less than one month before that lol
I luv your channel !!💝💝💝💝💝
omg this was so fun to watch!! i live like half an hour from the source and i am so fucking broke because of it lmao. i recently got into seventeen during fml era and i can relate to you so much LOL i was tripping over the names for the longest time like you already did better than i did!
Watching you struggle with seventeens names reminded me of when I first got into them 😂. But your far better off than I am. For AN ENTIRE YEAR, I thought that Jeonghan and Joshua were the same person. So don’t be embarrassed that your don’t always know their names😊
I felt a lot of pressure knowing people would watch me struggle hahaha so I think that contributed to me blanking even harder on a lot of names. But it's kinda fun to see who people remember and can recognize and who we think are one another 👀
she's back AND she's turning into a multi????? she js like me fr💯💯💯
my best-worst decision I made this year, haha 😎😎
@@straystarlight real, i literally decided a while ago that i didn't want to collect nct anymore but this video changed my mind 🤓 i already collect 8 grps yall, pray for me 🙏
It also took me a while to learn all of the NCT boys names! I actually started out stanning just one unit at first, which was NCT 127, then slowly branched out too all of the other units!
8:21 period she deserved so much better i love that song
certified sticker stans 🏅
OMG so excited to see you get into txt collecting! It's very hard not be ot5 biased with txt ☺(I say as a ot5 collector) Also the impact of pink cowboy Yeonjun!! Literally one of the reasons I started getting into txt LMAO no regrets
Great vlog! Can you do a story time on how you got into KPop?! TY! 😸👍🏻
I also love txt and skz!
Staymoas unite ❤
the zoom out after pulling Dino and blanking on his name is SENDING ME that's so funny 😭
it was a total blank when I saw that card. just head empty, who are you hahaha
I’m also learning slowly about seventeen and how to recognize them ahah, I feel your struggle 😅
If i was they they will be nothing left on the shelves and in the shop😮😮
I hope you do an unboxing of TXT comeback Freefall out on October 13th!! There’s two selfie photocards per album and the concepts are incredible and this would be such a great era to start collecting them!! 😉
Omg so lucky! We only have a small kpop store in Australia
Are you doing a five star binder update video? I love how you film those :)
it's filmed and in the editing queue with some other things~~
The thing about face the Sun, and
Sector 17 is so real
Nah, bc I'd do the same thing if I had a kpop store near me. Wish there was one in my state tho haha. Another great video!
i did a simlair thing abt 2 weeks ago its so fun! me and my friend did it with $300
the to be continued LMAO
Apologies if this was said already re: the changes in skz pcs. JYPE did this with Twice pcs as well. I think it has to do with their new way of printing items as they’re trying to be more environmentally friendly. I think is why 5-Star pcs felt a lot thinner than normal
AH! That could be. That's good info to have and to know, especially cause I'm missing a lot of older era cards. So maybe something to be on the look out for~~
this was so fun to watch! i'm glad you got to pick up some more albums (,:
dk and bangchan ... the 97z sweethearts w/ a nose....yeah ... (i say this as a dk bias hehe & yeah you should absolutely bias him)
i feel like i wouldve guessed that your svt bias would be dk or scoups purely based on you biasing chan! i'm curious if your thoughts have changed now hehe
also yes the bss album is only supposed to have 2 pcs! so u pulled an extra hoshi ☺️
Cool :) comming LA first time in Nov :) go pop in K pop store get some bits :) great Vlog 😊🏴❤️
watching you figure out the names of everyone was so funny skdjkdkd anyways sorry for flooding the comment section but loved the video as always!!
I loved reading through the stream of thoughts 💕💕 glad you liked it!!
For iam you, even I pulled glossy ones from the albums but my old one is matte.. so I think ya it's reprint and all
All of my I Am You polas are also matte and I pulled them from my albums so it must be second press, I've never seen them glossy before really threw me off as well 🤣 Love your videos btw 💜
I had a whole crisis for a moment about that card being glossy and not remembering mine being glossy. it's weird as well that, that was the only card too that they changed
I think JYP just likes to cause unnecessary stress for us 😅
If you ever go back to LA there’s 2 kpopmusictowns there so you don’t have to drive all the way to the source
Do you collect Woojin from stray kids earlier albums?
I feel this !! my state doesn't really have any kpop stores as well and it's awful lmao
it's both good and bad I'm far away from stores like these 😅
If i would go to a kpop store... Well lets say you wouldn't see me ever again
The cookie cord pouch is shoocky he is suga’s little friend
I'm in shambles that is adorable!! 😭
@@straystarlight ya to be honest I am also a BTS Stan as well as a stray kids Stan. Suga and Jimin are both my bias but I like all ot7. When I found them I fell in love with chimmy and shooky
i'm very late with this, but re: 0 or 100. 100 can be whatever you set it out to be 👀 make a cutesy wishlist and call it you 100 and then you can collect to 100. if that works for you ^^
ahahahha i was just the other day talking to a friend about how i made a playlist of all releases from this year i am interested in, and i'm just listening and vibing and not giving a shit about members and faces and representative animals and whatnot and it's so nice. just enjoy the music like i would for any Western band. i feel like kpop is sometimes too focused on artist instead of art.
SAME my bias is also huening kai❤️❤️❤️ 36:05
Stan Lucas :)
omgggg txt ♥
I really hold my self and only spend abt 28,50 dollar ahaha it just so hard but yeah, got two album and one collect book for that. still have couple in mind that i want to get tho 😂
rest in peace moonbin 🤍
Watch introductions to groups it helped me alot
If a kpop fan dont go to the kpop store, they're most likely to spend too much money there. Happened to me last year when I went to a newly opened kpop store. I spent $300 over there after not going to a kpop store for 6 years
Edit: if you ever decide to collect nct, start with unit stuff. Plus, pobs for them are so cheap.
Hey I just wanted to say something . You have said the word infamous quite a number of times and I was really confused as the meaning of infamous is famous for something bad so when you said described the heart mirrors and the blue hour album infamous I thought I’m missing something . Just wanted to point that out :)) loved the video very very much 😊
Oh interesting! I've more commonly seen it used for really well known and popular things in a more positive manner, so I've just picked that up and I feel like for the majority of my life that's how I've used the word as well . Just referring to things as almost a popular phenomenon, but never anything negatively. Good to know though considering I thought it was a more interchangeable word than it actually seems!
respectfully I'm coming to your house for scoups lol
Once in a while, if you have savings, this is fun! As long as not $400 every week :P
with nct, maybe dive into the group youre more interested in? like dive into their music and content on youtube and when ready you can move onto other units
Okay my recommendation for knowing NCT more is getting to know the units then them as a whole it seems to me your liking Dream right now. I would watch their video series on the trips they take on UA-cam (I’ll link the things I mentioned if I find them in the comment on my comment) then I would watch the videos they make for their comebacks honestly you can do this any order then I would watch the videos they made with the rest of NCT. Those were videos going on “dates with each other getting to know each other more. Then I would watch JCC (Johnnys communication center) videos to start with 127. Then I would watch their comeback videos they make. Also their trip videos. Then I would watch Wayvs trip videos also since it shows like how they are because it’s mostly them doing vlogs. Then I would watch their comeback videos especially the princess ones which I think was for bad alive. Also the most recent one for phantom. Also their videos they made for when they toured this year in their fanmeet tour. Also you can watch NCT weekly idol episodes even if most are old they are still good. Watch CHERRYVERSE she is an Icon in the fandom. Her videos are funny but once you know names or some you know more. Sorry for a long explanation and if it doesn’t make sense but yeah. Also don’t feel bad not knowing names you are doing great.🫶💚 Also other people may have better suggestions than me but these are some things I would do.

rip moonbin :(
🤍🤍
FIRST OF ALL the prices were so cheap for the albums at the first store like i went to ones in ny they all were 30$ and up ur so lucky tht you got to stock up at a good price 😭
I felt surprised by some of the prices! I was expecting way worse tbh
just realized it’s usd 😨
omg the google lady is not really the best source for pronunicaitons lol you had renjun right until she misled you 😭
It was the only thing I could find quickly for pronunciation 💀😣 BUT GOOD TO KNOW!! ✍
I am afraid of the title xD
it was a rollercoaster 😅
Kun not kan:)
THANK YOU!!
500$ that’s CRAZY, my mom spend 100$ on 3 K-pop albums here in Chicago. But ngl it is worth it. 13:16
