My Kpop Collection | April 2017 Update + Room + Selling/Giving Away Some Things.

Here's the first blog.

With the arrival of Taeyeon's new album, I finally surpassed 100 physical copies (though I do own more, via itunes) of albums. And, a lot has changed since I last did one of these, though it wasn't a long time ago that I did. But, I figured, since I passed 100 albums, and my spending has slowed down quite a bit due to unemployment (though I should have a job now, idk? Crossing my fingers, I guess I'll find out Tuesday) now is as good a time as any to do one of these. I sort of quit when I was doing a photocard collection, because I went through an reorganzed everything anyway, so I might do an updated on of that (and I'm considering selling/giving away some of my BTS photocards, but not 100% decided on that yet).

None of this edited because I'm too lazy to bother proof-reading.

I mention below that I have multiple things that I'm considering selling/givingaway. If you're interested PM. It's all BTS related goods. And, if it's something you get directly from me, I'll include freebies cause those are always fun. If I mention something and you want pictures up close, hit me up with a PM and I'll be glad to show more.

Last time, I didn't show my whole room, because it was in the process of going through changes (I turned my closet into an "office" of sorts) and my posters still hadn't been properly hung. But, this time, I'll be showing pictures of my whole room, mostly so I can show all of the posters I have up. I finally managed to find enough space to put the rest of my Going Seventeen posters, but still low on wallspace and will have to revaluate soon, lol.

I won't keep going on in this intro, just a few more things. I'm going to include a song recommendation from each album. The first shelf is done top to bottom, but the rest will be done bottom to top. For my room, ignore the chipped paint, I have to go through and touch up, lol. Just too lazy to do so. Alrighty... Let's get on with it >//<

Open picture in a new tab to see full size. All pictures were taken via the iphone 7.

My Room 

    

This is the view when you first walk into my room. The thing with the sheet over it is one my Guinea pigs. She's a bit anxious when she doesn't have the sheet covering her, so she won't eat. But, that's Bam. I forgot to take a picture of her, but that's okay. The last picture is when you turn around and face the door (again ignore the paint chippings. I recently had to replace the door and the paint did not live so well through it.
As for the posters in the last pic (The top on is the very first poster I ever got, which was with my hyyh pt. 2 album. I also magically got Hoseok's photocard, so he's been stalking me from day one. The bottom poster is from a group order I did with the fansite 613_moment, which has since changed their name to springflow. The order was the 'In The Love Position' slogan set (I may have an extra one of these to sell if I don't hear back from my friend who I originally got it for, soon). And the poster on the door is my Taeyeon poster from 'Why'. 
Moving onto more posters.

  

Going from left to right, the first poster is from the O!RUL8,2? album, which comes folded with every album. Beside that are the Young Forever posters, Day and Night and then on the next wall I have my Wings poster (I have an extra if anyone wants to hit me up for it, lol) and the YNWA posters, Right at the top and Left below Wings. I'm getting some YNWA mini banners/photocards from a Group Order soon that I'll be decorating that black space beside the Left poster with.
And then beside thos I have my BTS onstage Prologue official poster (was kind of bummed they didn't do one for the epilogue, but ah well). And I did not get good enough pictures of them, that corner in the last picture is my Seventeen corner, and I have my Hoshi poster (I cried when I got Hoshi's TT), The8 below him, and then the two map posters that come with Boysbe in the corner (did think to take a close up of those, sorry).
And the garland on top of the door (as well as above my window, with the Suga version) were both from a group order I did with the fansites 1-2 Checker and Jimin x Some. They were the Wings Tour Kits Slogans. (the full length posters in the other corner of my room, which I'll show again in a bit were also from that order). 
If you see tape randomly hanging off the posters, I have them there to reenforce the command poster strips, since they curve from being in the poster tubes. They'll come off eventually.

Next is my "office" area (excuse the fact that I'm a dork, lol. It's just my closet, that I've never used as a closet and decided to put my desk in).

    

 

Okay! So on the far left I have my BTS Japanese Youth Poster, and below that my Going Seventeen Make The Seventeen (I believe) poster. Then just some random goods I got way back in 2014/15 from Amazon and some stuff my friend drew me. On the right side, I have the BTS Best of Korea, Japanese Poster (another one of my lovely Guinea pigs, who prefers to be kept separate), the Japanese Best of poster, my Joshua Going Seventeen poster, and then the final two group Going Seventeen Posters, for Make It Happen and Make A Wish. This piggie is named Patch TT.
The little shelf I have in the corner is where I keep my supplies for trading/selling. 

And then when you walk out of the room, you see the last bit of my posters and my shelves.

The poster framed by the window is from the Memories of 2014 DVD, the two posters in the corner are from that Wings Tour Group Order I did. The poster framed above my shelf is from the 2015 Summer Package, which I never got to get, but Kpoptown sold the poster separately later on, so I snagged it. Below that are two posters I got from another group order. I THINK it was the Trigger the Fever photobook with Miningfulmoment, but I honestly can't remember. It might be from a separate slogan order, or they could even be separate all together. I can't find it in my notes anywhere for something that came with two posters.

Now we can move onto my shelves TT

We'll do it kind of like I did in the first blog post, but starting with the Goods shelf first, moving right.

     

This hasn't changed much since the last update. The most that's changed with this is that I've moved stuff around on it. I have obtained a few more items since the last blog, like the YNWA standee which came as a pre-order gift for the albums, The hobi Hip Hop Monster plush, which I got during a christmas sale off of Ktown4U for only like 10 USD (and have thus collected my three biases), and then the version 2 light stick. It's really sleek and nice and smaller in comparison to the first one. But the packaging is definitely an upgrade. I also move some stuff (the shirts) that were originally on the Bangtan shelf, to this one.

Now is where I start giving song recommendations, which means this blog post is going to be fairly longer than the last one. But, I think it'll be worth it. I was going to include a soundcloud player or youtube video, but aff has just ed it's html up and it's not worth figuring out anymore. So, I'm just going to link to youtube videos. Cheers.

From the bottom shelf up,

This shelf is where I keep my photocards for all artists other than BTS, and my supplies for my photocard binders. The drawers have penny sleeves and toploaders, but I also have stuff for my posters in there like the command strips. The big red binder has all of my empty protectors, and the poster on top of the drawers is from my NCT dream album, I just need to find a spot for it to hang it up.
Going left to right, the binders are as follows: NCT (because I'm trash they get their own), other SM Town artist (Taeyeon, SHINee, Exo), Seventeen and Bap share the first white binder, and then AOA plus miscellaneous groups (like my one Bigbang album, and Jokwon) go in the last white binder.

This shelf contains artist outside of SM, like Seventeen, and other miscellaneous albums.

The Seventeen collection was much smaller in the last blog post, since I had most of it on the way, but now it's currently complete (except for their new concert DVD which I'm still undecided about buying).
From their first album, 17Carat I recommend (all of them but for the sake of this blog post) 20. It's performed by the vocal team and is just so pretty.
Link.
Boysbe - OMG is definitely my favorite song on there, and always will be. I was so happy when the recreated from their reality show, and not only that but made it the performance team's song. I cry TT.
Link.
First Love&Letter - 'Say Yes' because oh my god, ITS SO PRETTY. It's a duet between DK and Seungkwan and my hearteu TT.
Link.
Love&Letter Repackage - No F.U.N, because just like OMG I was so happy when they recreated it. I stg, they picked all my favorites TT.
Link.
Going Seventeen - I recomend all of the songs on this album hardcore, but I'll pick my favorite, which is one of my favorites over any artist, not just Seventeen. Highlight. It's so nice and I was so proud of Hoshi and UGH. It's also got chinese in it for those of you who love the china-line. I listen to this on repeat quite often.
Link.

Jokwon - Animal, because it features pre-debut Hoseok and 'nuff said. Watch the live. That's what I linked. Trust me. Foreheadseok. Link.
Block B 'Block Buster' - Movie's Over. One of my favorite songs by them.
Link.
Her - Ordinary Girl. Taeil's voice at the beginning, I can't.
Link.
Bastarz 'Zero Conduct' - Nobody but You. Minhyuk is just ugh. If you like Exo, especially rookie Exo from XOXO era, then you'll like this.
Link.
Big Bang 'Made E' - Sober, one of the main reasons I bought it.
Link.
AOA 'Short Hair' - My Soulmate. It's lovely.
Link.
Like A Cat - Just The Two of Us. Ugh, the feels. It's so smooth and classic.
Link.
Heart Attack - Chocolate. Yum. Sweetest sweetest.
Link.
Good Luck - 10 Seconds.
Link.
Angel's Knock - Help Me. Okay, bro. I was in love with the Japanese version, but then they did this so how can I not recommend it??? I recommend both versions actually, and I'm going to link to the MV because Hyejeong is my bias and the Harley Quinn feels are so real.
Link.
And for real this time, I recommend every song on the Scarlet Heart OST. I bought it because I love every song, and I never buy OSTs, hence why this is the only one I own. I won't even leave a link, because every song is gold.

 

This is my lovely Bap collection, and one of the only collections I sort by size (this one and Exo). I'll do this in order of release rather than height, though.
Badman - Excuse Me is one of my favorite songs. It's just really fun and exciting. They also have a Japanese version to it.
Link.
First Sensibility - This is honestly one of the best albums I've ever listened to, it's just so smooth and soulful and wahh. I recommend any song on here, but continuing on in terms of 'fun' I'll share the link to Bang X2, which is a head banger.
Link.
Where Are You? What Are You Doing? - It's a single album with only two tracks, so I'll just share the link to the title song.
Link.
Matrix - Monologue is my favorite track on there, but it's not much of a song in itself, so I'll recommend Blind, which is just a gorgeous song. I love how Bap can go from Hip Hop to Pop to Rock and just everything so easily and consistently. They're so talented TT.
Link.
Carnival - Albatross is another super fun song, and my favorite after the title track.
Link.
Put 'Em Up - That's My Jam will be one of my all time favorite Bap songs, most likely. But Do What I Feel is also really good from this single album.
Link.
Noir - Just as beautiful as their first full length song. But, Killer gives me so many feels. Just... yes TT.
Link.
Rose - The title track is super catchy, but so are the other tracks. Diamond 4 Ya is a very good example of how Bap always kills it and incorporates so many different sounds within their songs.
Link.

 

This is kind of like my 'SM' shelf, but it wasn't really planned that way. It's just how it worked out since, they're all SM artists. Exo's goes in order of height (except for CBX which comes after. Starting with Exo in order of release (I still need to get the regular XOXO and Miracles in December, but other than that the collection is complete).
Mama - Angel is a pretty song, but my recommendation will be Machine, to change things up. It's fun and I love the classic Exo sound, to be honest.
Link.
XOXO Growl Repackage - This is my favorite album by them, and always will be. I love every single song on here, and it's impossible for me to pick just one, so I'm going to share the link to three songs.
Don't Go. Heart Attack. Black Pearl.
Overdose - Love Love Love is my second favorite song by Exo (the favorite will be mentioned in a minute). Hands down, even with the songs from XOXO included.
Link.
Exodus - Ugh, this album is also really good. All of Exo's albums, but their full lengths kill it. Playboy is probably an obvious favorite for most people, but I'll share two other songs.
Transformer. Exodus.
Love Me Right - I'll put two separate ones for this, even though it's the repackage for Exodus.
El Dorado. Tender Love.
Sing For You - Lightsaber is really good, so I'll recommend that even though most Exo fans will have heard it plenty.
Link
EX'ACT - Like I said their full lengths are so good. But, I'll stick to one for this. They Never Know, which actually samples from the same song that BTS sampled for Dead Leaves (no one copied so don't go getting upset about it, either. Plenty of artists sample like this, from the same songs). Link.
Lotto - The repackage for Exact, and honestly Lotto is such a catchy song. But, here's my favorite song by Exo, and one of my top five songs of all time. She's Dreaming. I love this song so freaking much, I listen to it non-stop all of the time and it never gets old. It's such a beautiful song and even inspired a Baekhyun fic for me (and a Xiumin spin-off), even when I didn't want to jump down the Exo writing rabbit hole. Ugh. I could go on and on about this song TT.
Link.
For Life - Twenty Four is my favorite song on this one, though I will admit I don't listen to their winter albums as much as their other ones.
Link.
CBX Hey Mama - WAH BAEKIE! Rhythm After Summer is such a catchy song TT.
Link.

This is my (sad, but will be growing more to completion soon) SHINee collection and TaeTiSeo (which I mostly got because of Taeyeon, but I really want a few of SNSD's regular albums, like Lion Heart). The SHINee collection only has repackages of their newer albums so far (but I'm unemployed rn so the collection had to be put on pause). Since I don't have many, I'll do it in order that it's on the shelf.
1and1 - All of the songs are good, but for this one I'll recommend Rescue. Just... watch the lyric video and swear it doesn't give you feels.
Link.
Married to the Music - View is an amazing song, but for the recommendation I'll pick Trigger.
Link.
Everbody - Everbody is my third favorite song by SHINee, but just so I'm not picking the title track, I'll recommend Symptoms, which is gorgeous. SHINee's is always good baby making music TT.
Link.
Bound: Misconceptions of US - I love both Mis of You and Mis of Me, so the repackage is amazing. But, since it includes two albums within it, I'll recommend two songs. My Favorite songs by SHINee are Why So Serious and Dream Girl, but for something other than title songs,
Excuse Me Miss and Spoiler.
TaeTiSeo Twinkle - Baby Steps.
Link.
Holler - Eyes.
Link.
Dear Santa - Winter Story.
Link.

(You can see my little bear that I named Luhan for the Koala hate with deer antlers that I made for it, but) This is my Taeyeon collection. I just wanna say, it is so pleasing to my OCD that all of her albums are the same size and style TT. It makes my beyond happy. I am such Taeyeon trash, she's my UB girl bias, and I will forever support her through everything she does. She's such a precious bean.
 - Stress is such a fun song, so I'll recommend this one.
Link.
Why - Hands on Me is another fun song, and the musical intro is so pretty.
Link.
My Voice - UGH! This album is amazing. It has such rocker vibes I love it. I don't even want to pick, and since I'm Taeyeon I'll recommend three songs again, aside from title tracks.
Cover Up, I'm OK, and Fire.
My Voice Deluxe Edition - I got 11:11 when she released it as a digital single, so I'll include that and another song that's super pretty, that's only on the Deluxe.
11:11, Curtain Call.

This is my NCT Shelf which will definitely be growing along with the group. I have plans to get the other two versions to Limitless, but again.. unemployment . I'm going to show off all of the pictures to this shelf before going in depth and recommending songs.

     

The little cube you see is something (really cheesy) that I made myself. It's just got a cube that's got my biases on them (save for Renjun). Here are some more pictures.

     

The polaroids, I also made myself and it's up in Bias order, and I was going to include Dream, but Renjun's refused to print not matter how much I tried, and it wouldn't make sense to include dream without my bias, so I just left them out and did 127+Ten. The folded poster came with the Limitless album.
As for song recommendations, it's so hard to pick just one from each, so I'm going to choose two, save for the Dream album, because it's only a single.
NCT #127 - Another World and Wake Up. They're the kind of songs that grow on you the more you listen to them, they're so good.
Limitless - I honestly recommend every single song on here, but my favorite two are Baby Don't Like It and Back 2 U.
The First - My First and Last, even though it's the title song, I just listen to it on repeat and Haechan's voice kills. Link.

The next shelf is my Japanese BTS Collection. I won't have recommendations for that since it's mostly just the Korean songs in Japanese. So just pictures ^^

 

The bottom shelfs hold my miscellaneous stuff, like extra photocards and stickers.

 

This is an extra copy of YNWA Right that I got from a group order that came with extra goods. It was damaged in the mail from the fansite, so I knew that from the beginning. It's here until I can figure out what to do with it. If anyone wants it and doesn't mind paying shipping from me to you, PM me. It comes with the group photocard and one of the pre-order standees. The only damage is in the bottom and top left corners where it's slightly bent.

This is my BTS Japanese DVD collection. It's small now and I doubt I'll buy the other dvds, unless a really good concert dvd comes out that they don't have a Korean version for.

 

This is my Youth special edition and my Rap Mon SLA bear that my friend made for me for Christmas back in 2014.

  

My Japanese CD collection. I still have the new BSAT Japanese versions coming, but that won't be released until May 10th.

 

The special versions of the BTS Best of CDs.

And finally, The Bangtan Shelf. I'm also not going to put recommended songs for these, because the majority of you all reading this are BTS stans. So, here's some pictures. I'm not going to explain anything except the bottom shelf. The Blu-ray Muster DVD will be shipping soon, so I'll have that vesion soon as well.

The far left binder, the huge one, is where I keep my Group Orders from fansites. Slogans take up a lot of space, which is why it's so big. The first white one is my unofficial photocars, the second white one is Japanese press official photocards and such. And the finaly black one is the Korean press offical stuff. The hat is the beanie from the Onstage prologue goods, the little white book is the Face Photo Collection from the Wings Tour Merch. The two blue books hold my live photos from one of the zipcodes and some postcards. The magazine holder has my L-Holders and the empty case for the Paper Frame Set, ver 1. Beside that is my Trigger the Fever Jimin Photobook, and the Monochrome Moment overseas gift that came with it. Then I have magazines, like the Singles one they were in and Star1. And the box at the end is from the lego set. If anyone wants closer pictures on any of those, I can take more.

Now I'm just going to show pictures of the rest of the shelf.

       

 

And That's it for my collection.

Like I said above, I might be selling/giveing away quite a few things, so if you read through and see any that I mentioned that you're interested in, PM me. Particularly the Korean BTS photocards and that Jhope Slogan set.

Thank you for taking an interest in this. This is my pride and joy, so sharing it means a lot.

-Kai

p.s. Just for kicks, here's a before and after of the collection blog.

OMG. Scrolling through this blog post was just full of 'Awww~'s. The amount of Bangtan merch...! My sibling and cousin would love those. They're not even picky of what they get as long as it's BTS related, haha. I never saw those Legos before and didn't know there was a different Bangtan Bomb! o.o
What I really want to say is that I just I love your room!

How long did it take for you to collect all of this stuff? You put me to shame
