I’m not going to lie, EXO Love Shot broke me. If you haven’t watched the video yet, where it broke me, you can do so here, as well as watch me eat breakfast. This video did things to my soul that I never expected to happen. So naturally, I had to buy the album. Keep reading to find out what comes with the album, my thoughts, and where you can pick up a copy.

Oh honey, let’s be completely honest. These photo books have me gasping for air. I was not expecting to get tons of half-shirtless EXO pictures, but now that I see it, I’m dead. I honestly cannot even with the abdominal muscles, and this album is when I realized that they are truly adults. They have fully transitioned! I’m not mad at it.
So should you get yourself a copy of this album? Can anyone find a reason not to want beautiful pictures of EXO’s abs? If you can please let me know. If not, you should be buying this album. Should you stream it? Absolutely, but I do have one note about that. If you want to listen to the album the whole way through, you can’t on most streaming services, as it will only have the new tracks. You will need to mix it with Tempo. For that reason, to hear the flow of the full album, it may be worth buying it.
If you want to watch me fangirl, I do also post reactions on my YouTube Channel. I have posted one for EXO Love Shot, which you can watch below:
Where Can I Buy It?
You can get a copy of this at the following places:
- Music Plaza (I purchased mine here)
- Ebay (Can get Cashback with Rakuten)
- Amazon
- SubK Shop
If you want to see where I get almost all of the products I buy, you can see that here.
What is Rakuten?
Rakuten is a cashback site that gives you money for purchases you may have already made. They even have an extension for multiple browsers so when you go to a website that uses Rakuten, it will automatically pop up the cashback button to make sure you are saving money. I use this all the time, and I got over $80 back from them for purchases I was going to make anyway. That’s about 3 more albums I can buy!
If you’ve never used Rakuten before, you can use this link to get $10 when making a qualified purchase of $25 when using Rakuten. You will also get whatever percent cashback is being offered from the site you are purchasing from. Sephora, typically has 4% cashback, through here. Ulta typically has 3%. These are just some of the companies on the website, but there are other major retailers on there as well!
Rakuten also has a Google Chrome extension that will tell you as soon as you log onto a site that has cashback with a little pop-up in the corner so that you can ensure you are saving money!
