I GOT STRAY KIDS 'ATE' ALBUM!!!

Comments

Ich habe auch beide Versionen gekauft

Manus Zimmermann

Damn people Don't know how to make it easy for you... each version is a different photo themes that they do. We don't know which photo theme is for which album so you'll picking an album photo theme at random. If you go to their Twitter you'll be able to see the different themes that they will have.

My sister bought my first album at the montreal store and since then ,even my preorder is at there site. They are having more up coming store accros the country lately And US order to Canada is a nightmare . Hope to see you at the Montreal store🫶🏾

Valencia

Canadien from Montréal, I also think lightupk is a great option! My first ever album order (5star) had to come in from the states and was really confusing and more expensive. ATE is my 3rd order from Lightupk and I've been in person in MTL (they have a irl store in Toronto too). Really simple, clear and free shipping. Not to mention not having to deal with exchange rates for USD$ to CAD$.

Sam W

😭😭😭

Lauren

Such short answers can be so frustrating when you don't understand, I get it. I hope you have a great time away. When are you back?

Emma Hanley

this was sooo cuteee (✿◠‿◠)

Eminima

Yeah I was hoping this was the case. Thank you for confirming

Mina

It says 'Mini' because its a mini album. That just means it doesn't have as many songs on it like a full album would have. For example, this is Stray Kids' 9th mini album but they have also released 3 full albums already (5-star, noeasy and go live)

villain for life

I hope you will do a unboxing reactio .. so we can see your reaction to what you got

Sa Bs

Ben, (in the future) stores like Walmart, Target, Barnes & Noble are reliable places to get your albums from. You might not even have to pay shipping if you meet the minimum purchase and so on. They will also come with AN EXTRA PHOTOCARD. Just sayin' - if you wanna start collecting boy paper. Have a nice day.

berdeeder

Yo Ben!!! You should check out Enhypen's comeback!!!!! It just came out today and it's an absolute BANGER!!! Enhypen albums never disappoint!

erindestinyy

Ben!! You and half the stays are on the same boat. I never know which one to buy 😭. It’s like Russian Roulette and hoping you get the best one.

Monica

Farout this made me laugh even more then I thought soz 😂

Alvita Sulthoni

Ben we are twinning 😭 I was going through the same confusion yesterday morning. I also ordered from the jypshop cause that felt safer because it was also my first time ordering an album. I had no idea what was the differences between each album so after 2 hours of losing my mind I just ended up picking one😭 I honestly think I did something wrong at this point cause in my order it says «Stray Kids Mini Album ATE (Chk Chk Ver., Boom Ver.)» and Idk what they mean by mini version???

Mina

Yes Ben 😉 but you'll get random photocards either of the 8 boys. It's like when you buy a snack or cereal and get a random toy inside and you collect those. So you end up buying another box to get the other items😁

thehappymil

As a southern girl i must say bless your heart 😂 I’m a baby stay myself so even tho i was watching all this unfold in the chat i could not offer any helpful tips 😭 I’m glad you found it though and I hope your recovering from your stroke ♥️♥️

Grace Petty

btw, I'm from some island in Spain (which makes it even more difficult to pre-order the albums) so I buy the through a german website, and I have to wait almost a month after is released to have it. That's why I bought the Limited Edition, so I can buy other version the release day because...I'm not waiting this time, I already waited for 5STAR, and for ROCKSTAR...ATE I'm eating it fresh out of the oven istg (sorry for the long statement, ily) PD: Have fun on your trip!

Patri_Playmobil

Ya so depending on your trip dates it might line up well for delivery. 😊 Hope you have a very nice stroke free vacation!

Leneé

He got a stroke with the different album versions, and you want us to say anything about the tour?! are you trying to kill him? 💀

Patri_Playmobil

OH WHAT

Ben

React to hyuniminibini live or hyunjins instagram live

Aein

Let's take care of baby staaa @Ben

Claudia Lozada

3-7 days from the comeback date of 7-19 not the day you order it. I hope that is clear lol

Leneé

Guys has anyone warned Ben that the tour is coming????? SAVE MONEY GYUS!!!! We are waiting the announcement for LATAM/ NORTH AMERICA and EUROPE !!!!

fot

I bought the Limited Edition and Nemo version (my 12yo daughter prefers that way) from JYP. I also bought a standard CHK CHK/BOOM version from Target. I didn't get to choose which one, so I'll pick the other version from another store in town that day.

Tara Lehmann

Awwhh Ben hope you're feeling OK now after that stress 😅 it is very confusing but I'm grateful since it's also my first comeback and all the helpful info you got, helped me decide which to purchase. Thanks Peekaboo STAY!

Ja-9 - Janine

I would’ve had a stroke too 😭 STAY are confusing 😭

Akira Flamez

Have a safe trip Ben! The signed verison usually is sold out within minutes... Sobs.

Kaacka26

I tried to help😭😭

leeknowsalex

Have a safe Trip 🥰

Britt Bratt

It’s a chat room here on patreon.

Britt Bratt

album ordering the first time is difficult and then you fall into the one of each album version (not speaking from experience or anything) hahaha

GeorginaMarie95

you were so lost I admit it lmao so good job successfully ordering!

Nikola Lee

I don't order from JYP because the shipping is CRAZY. Just no. I did my first comeback and it just wasn't worth it considering I can get almost all the versions from other stores locally. I ordered the signed from SKZ Shop and preordered from the US stores for the various other versions since I do collect. Plus for anyone who ordered from JYP directly because they wanted a JYP POB, many other stores online with better shipping prices offer POBs. You can just find 1 with the JYP version if you want it that way (and they might even have multiple stores POBs available). I get a few versions from stores like that to get some Korean POBs not available here without buying from the individual stores directly and paying a bunch of different shippings.

Linoiscute

saur how do i join the discord

Hannah Ali

I get it Ben. This is my first comeback but I only knew this time is because I wanted to buy a couple of their older albums. Sorry you were so confused.

Jennifer Hunter

I know you were overwhelmed by the chat, but I tried to send you the North American JYP website. I recommend following Stray Kids on Twitter because they send out relevant links for different countries whenever it’s necessary.

Brianna Buth

And btw, Cover Me would have been my pick as well! I freaking love that song so much. I am praying they sing it for us live on their tour.

Carysa Locke

😂 This mirrors my first experience when I ordered their last comeback! I was SO confused. I had to post to a group and ask WTH with all of these different versions. I ended up buying three different versions of that first album. K-pop REALLY has their marketing down. They make it ridiculously complex.

Carysa Locke

Next time buy from Amazon, I paid 32.50 for the same album with free shipping.

Bel

Yes...older Stay here and at times all 6 tracks of my CD player in my car are SKZ. I currently have one ATEEZ CD in since I am going to a concert in a few weeks and I have a BTOB to lower my blood pressure and anxiety on my way to work and Enhypen's Memorbilia (which will be replaced with their comeback on Friday). But then I get mad because I have so many SKZ that don't fit.

Camie Rabon

I absolutely cannot wait for the unboxing shock when Ben gets his first album!

Honeyshines

I mean I rather get a CD than a code for itunes, cus I dont use that ^^

Pyxis the Hobgoblin 👻

You're not stupid, but plenty of people still use CDs. I have a 25yo car, it plays CDs. Also, don't always have internet. So yeah, still using the CDs.

Nuala Seamus

What helped me was watching the boys unbox different versions of Rock Star, I think it was. That one had 3 versions. SO glad I peeped that b4 this comeback.

Anna Anderson

Be safe with your travels. I 💕

Nuala Seamus

Hi Ben as a fellow newcomer to buying Kpop albums I hope my paboracha explaination make sense. All Cds in the album have the same contents. The album is a SET that includes the CD and different freebies based on which version you buy (photocards, etc). Each album's designs are different to differentiate them. It's made like that to entice collectors to buy different versions. You just have to buy the one with the designs and freebies you like.

Wynn

This reminds of the first comeback I was pre-ordering. I had no idea what was with all the versions.

Nuala Seamus

Ben Kim, you need a local, seasoned Stay to talk to, cuz that stressed ME out and I missed the whole dangon convo, dagnam! Ordered mine when it went live, I'M SO EXCITED 😆. Love you, Ben Kim!

Anna Anderson

I still don't get it and also fascinated ppl still own cd-players - or am I stupid?

Pyxis the Hobgoblin 👻

sorry the bus was speeding

⛓️🥀👑RicanVirgoQueen👑🥀⛓️

Did you at least get the license plate?! 😂

DivaViews

Yes I think it's him hahahah

Amber

You did good. haha :) The different versions are the same album (all the songs), but the inclusions are different. So, posters, photocards, etc. And the covers of the albums are different. I always buy all the versions, because it's what I choose to collect. But, some people only buy one version and are happy with that. :) You're getting two versions in that order, so you'll get two different covers and slightly different inclusions inside. The CDs will be the same in both of them though. Hope you pull Seungmin! :)

Star Dust

You scrolling past all the comments saying every version still has every single song: 👨‍🦯

Tiffany Hall

See?! It's not us, it's him! 😂

DivaViews

You asked a simple question yeah, but the answer ain’t that simple 🤣 not here for the slander LMAO

Tiffany Hall

Thank you! This is going to help me purchase it too. This is my first comeback experience and first album purchase of theirs or of any kpop

Nezaeya

A good ATE hours sleep! You MUST buy the Seungmin Accordian version!

Clare 💕

Haha the fact that you were listening to Cover Me tells me how stressed you were, I'm sorry 🙈 I'm still relatively new to Kpop and by no means understand the album-buying system so I'm just out here buying a couple different versions every comeback to get a better sense of what's typically included 😂 Sorry I can't give more helpful advice beyond that besides not to worry!! You've got an album and it will be freaking awesome and that's all that matters! Enjoy your vacay timeee 🫶

Morgan Potter

🤩

DivaViews

The ending though had me LAUGHING.....why was that so confusing though jeez ...so many versions, give like 2 options

Poison

Check diva getting views in the video 😎😎

Danielle

Ben that was literally one of the funniest back and forth I've been involved in 🤣🤣 glad you got your album though

Danielle

Same girl...CANNOT control what my fingers order😹

JaCi8i8

It’s just a way to get fans to order more albums which is smart like I collect so I buy every version of every album they put out some are harder to get especially like limited albums. The difference is the way the outside looks and they can have different photo cards so for someone who doesn’t collect or care about having all versions I suggest just going with whichever looks better to you.

melinda castillo

Detailed version for those who want to read (based on my experience): Simply put, names like Boom are simply names to differentiate different versions of albums. With each new music promotion, there will be a different name. But usually, there will be 3 main versions: Standard, Limit, and Nemo. There will be additional versions with different names. Standard is the version you buy. This is the main version that usually comes with 2 photo cards, postcards, a CD containing all the songs, a photo book, etc. The ATE version you see sold out is a limited edition, many versions are similar but may differ due to the images and concepts used. As for the Nemo version, it will be a mini version with a cheaper price. They do not include a photobook but usually include a full set of photocards for all 8 people and this time you can receive a random photocard of 1 in 8. The demo does not have a CD but there will be a QR Card to listen to music on the phone. Other versions are also small versions, the included items will be less than the standard version and limited edition. But you will have a photo card in all versions. Pre-orders are usually released very early, they are usually released on the first day when the teaser is released. If possible, I hope you can follow Stray Kids' X. You will receive full information as well as the date and time. You can buy three You can also get the link to buy the genuine album without going to JyShop. If you buy now, you will receive POB, which is a Pre-Order Benefit. If you scroll down you will see a preview image of the album. If you read carefully, your version will come with a free poster and sticker if you pre-order. Those free items are usually only given away if you buy them in advance. But you can also buy them from small retail stores which they still have, or Target when I bought their albums they always came with a pre-order benefit even though it's been a while. Prices will vary from place to place, not because the selling price is more expensive but usually includes shipping costs. If you buy in the US or Canada the price will be more expensive but in return, the shipping fee will be much cheaper. Whether this is necessary or not is an option for you to consider. Fans who stay regularly will buy a book that resembles a photo album but instead, the pages in that album will be pages for photo cards. You also need at least one layer of photocards to protect them from scratches. If you want to collect them and preserve them properly then this is what you can do. If you choose a member that is not your bias, you can exchange, to collect a single member with many different versions. You can buy on Amazon and search with keywords like photocard album, also look at the size of the album and buy photocard book covers if you can't find the version that comes with them. You'll also need to buy photocard copies, but be careful buying the non-PVC version, as PVC can damage your photocard. If you can pay more but are assured of quality, the place you can buy is MeowCafeShop. Hope this detailed explanation can help you.

HaPpY

It's okay Ben, you ordered it, you did an adult thing, you're the best, congratulations on your purchase :P Fr I hope you pull seungmin photocard!

Amber

Deal

Ben

Still confused but ok

Ben

Lmao I'm going to explain this in paboracha terms. ALL VERSIONS HAVE THE FULL CD WITH ALL SONGS Each album includes photocards, cards, posters, photo books and stickers. Those differ per version. Some people just like to collect them all. Usually with the limited version (sold out ATE version) you get most in pre order. I myself bought the ATE version, the ChkChk version and the Boom version because I do collect.

Amber

That was me when I had my 1st comeback. All the cds have the same 8 songs what makes them different is the concept of the photobook, the photocards and the inclusions. Since I cannot control myself I ordered 1 of each and 2 accordions: 1 from Binnie and the other from Seungmin

Claudia Lozada

I remember going through this as my daughter tried to explain why she needed multiple versions of the same album. I finally realized that she was buying random fan packets and the CD was a "perk" ...that she never uses since she listens on Spotify. I genius move by the entertainment companies since "albums sold" is a measure of success and used for awards.

Camie Rabon

So ill try and explain all the different version hope it is helpful Chk Chk and Boom Ver. will include a CD, a photobook with all 8 members, a random photocard (1 out of 16 each so each member has 2 possible PC's), a mini photobook, a 4-cut photo (1 ver), and a random unit PC (1 out of 8) Ate Ver. will include a CD, a photobook with all 8 members, a random photocard (1 out of 8), a random monochrome photo reciept (1 out of 8), a random portrait poster( like a giant postcard again 1 out of 8), and 1 mini poster and mini newspaper. Letter ver. comes in an envelope and includes a CD and a Set of 8 postcards (so you'll get 1 of each member) Nemo/platform ver. there are 2 ver of this type, Does not include a physical CD but instructions to download an app, there will be a card with a QR code in this ver. that you scan from your phone that will download the full album onto your phone, this ver. comes with a full set of photocards (8 cards one of each member), and a random PC (1 of 8). Accordion/ digipack ver. there are 8 versions of this type that are member specific covers ( ie seungmins ver will have only seungmin on the cover) this ver is accordion style and will have a few pictures of the specific cover member (and maybe 1 group shot but not guaranteed) also includes a random photocard (1 out of 8 and you are NOT guaranteed a photocard of the member you bought), and a mini lip card?( random 1 out of 8) This list doesn't include standard Pre-order benefits( extra gifts for pre-ordering the album) which are different for each version, or store specific pre-order benefits again hope this was a little helpful

Wooya Staytiny

I think we've all been there, lol! I was at a restaurant watching this and dying, I probably looked crazy 🤪

Vanessa D

Have a safe trip Ben. And the differences between each album is that the extra stuff like say photo cards and posters and photo book are different for each album that's why there are so many different versions of albums.

RaeRae

My Peekaboos Besties Ben just threw ya under the bus for the world to see🤣🤣🤣🫣🫣🫣 still luv ya babes🥰🫶🏽🥰

⛓️🥀👑RicanVirgoQueen👑🥀⛓️

Gurl, the slander!

DivaViews

Lmao, this whole video was HILARIOUS cause SAME, I never understood what's with all the different versions. I'm also brand-new at buying albums.

Fatima Bah

Oi, listen youse.....no this again 🤣

SJ McQuillan

If I get Seungmin, and you get Bang Chan, we can exchange 😅

Karolina Snopek

im going to try my best to explain this in the easiest way possible. when a artist/group releases an album, there is typically 4 different versions of said album. the album itself (the songs) are all the same. there is no difference with the music aspect. HOWEVER, the main difference is the concept of each PHYSICAL album. a physical album typically comes with a photobook, photocard, stickers, etc. when there are 4 versions of an album, (or in this case 2) it means that there are 2 different versions of the album physically to collect. the concepts art can be a variety of things, it varies on group. hopefully this helps!!

jay

This level of frustration was exactly what I went through😭. I ended up ordering the same version you did, but with tons of anxiety that I'll wish I picked a different version when they all come out🤣. I think you finally got the most important info, though: at the end of the day, every version has all the music, so how can we go wrong? As someone also prone to anxiety/ frustration strokes, I 'm glad you had "cover me" (and your "godamn bias") to help get you through it😂❤️.

Erica J.

Yes. And since you bought two from JYPShop, you will get two extra photocards as Preoder Benefits (POB). They usually will put them outside the sealed album. Do not throw them away please, POB are considered more valuable.

Bubbu

EXACTLY. Thae comprehension wasnae comprehending

SJ McQuillan

Ben going crazy

Joy

Ben. Message me so I can cuss you smooth out.

DivaViews

How long are you on vacay

Aein

It will ship once the album drops. So it might be there when you get back! So glad you got your first Stray Kids album!

Shay Raby

Yes join paboracha

Aein

Hyunjin mic and brush

Aein

I bought every version (even the two nemo) except for the accordion ver. for that I only bought Bang Chan ver....so I'm useless for you hahaha

Ana

Ben was STRESSING 😂😂😂😂

Ella-May Evans

i'm such a clown for straykids lol i pre-orderd 6 copies of the album, the 2 regular versions, the ate version, the letter version and the 2 nemo versions i have no chill lol

Wooya Staytiny

Sooo I am in canada too you can buy album at this site:Lightupk shop ( it a “official” store ) At some point they give you discount and free shipping. And easier then the JYP site My opinion.

Valencia

Bro manifested heaven itself

Aein

hope u get ur bias photo card

Kitty2269

im glad u figured it out ben

Kitty2269

Ben I was in the group chat but when I change my phone I didn’t find it 😭

🦔

Let’s all manifest for him to get the photocard of Seungmin 🤞🏻♥️

Lari

Yeeeees!

Blue Nightfox

Getting into album buying is not for the weak. I only buy one version and I let my 10 y/o son pick. I don't have the money to buy all versions cos I am a broke Stay!

Jeanie

😭🤣 I couldn’t help but laugh while watching this. Truly it is so damn confusing if you aren’t familiar with how K-pop albums are done.

Meowracha

Yes it does! Manifesting you pull your bias 🐶 🙌

Stephanie

It was $106 with the shipping overseas

🦔

So basically each version comes with different pictures with different concepts of each of the members but each version has a cd with the same songs. people usually buy multiple because we want all the members photocards with all the concepts. You should have also gotten seungmins accordion version because he’s your bias and you could have gotten Seungmin specific photos lol

Zora Algero

Each of these albums has the same songs. The albums have only different Each of these albums has the same songs. The albums only have different concepts for their photo books and photo cards. Since you ordered from JYP, you have to pay customs fees, it's best to look for a shop in your country next time to avoid it. I hope this helps. 🤣

Minjin

I bought like 5 versions 😅😅 I don’t regret it 💀

Chris

yes ♥ manifesting seungmin for ya!!

Taylor Nunya

Sorry i was napping lol

Kumu Leato S. Savini

Hahahahah Ben I understand you!! It’s my first time buying too 😂 😂
