In the continued saga of Okay-Pop firms releasing ridiculously excessive numbers of variations of albums with equally ridiculous excessive numbers of photocards to gather, SM Entertainment is being criticized for doing simply that with NCT DREAM‘s ISTJ album.

Netizens have recently discovered that the album, which came out on July 17, has a whopping total of 672 photocards of the members to collect. With seven members in the group, that means that each member has nearly 100 photocards each!

Additionally, there are even 28 versions of the album itself for fans to collect, from regular photobook versions to a “vending machine” version and store-exclusive versions as well.

They are just the latest among K-Pop groups joining the trend of ever-increasing numbers of collectibles for their albums. Earlier this year, SEVENTEEN‘s management also came under fire for having nearly 900 photocards for their FML album. More recently, ITZY‘s label JYP Entertainment was accused of trying to increase sales with the 20 versions released for their new album Kill My Doubt.

Of course, the members themselves aren’t being blamed, as a result of they possible don’t have any involvement in what number of photocards and variations are included with their albums. In reality, some followers marvel in the event that they get bored with having to take selfies for the photocards!

The matter of the photocards for NCT DREAM’s ISTJ album was just lately mentioned on a web based discussion board publish, and folks had fairly relatable reactions within the feedback part.

Do you suppose one thing must be completed concerning the extreme photocards and variations of Okay-Pop albums?
