MY SERIES IS COMPLETE! I finally have all 12 parts of the BTS Love Yourself series in my possession. Yes, it was not cheap to get all twelve. Do I regret it? Absolutely not. Now I can happily say that BTS Love Yourself: Answer is in my possession, in all of it’s shining glory.
I picked up my copies of this album on Choice Music, which is where I always buy them nowadays. You can buy a 4 version set for $71.99 plus shipping on Choice using this link. You can also just buy 1 for $19.99 here, where you can pick your poison, after reading through this post. Amazon also has the album for $24.97 here with free shipping if you have Prime. I am pretty sure Choice may be cheaper here, but correct me if I am wrong.
If you don’t have Amazon Prime, you can get a 30 day free trial using this link here. I will not lie, the free 2 day shipping, plus all of the free music and videos are totally worth it. I also now use it for books for my Kindle paper white too, and it is honestly a life saver. They have a program called Kindle Unlimited where you can check out 10 books at a time, read them, and put them back in the kindle library. The program cost $7.99 a month, and you get the first 30 days for free with this link.
Note: If you click on the photos, you can see them bigger.

- Photobook (over 70 pages, it’s relatively thick)
- If you are lucky, and extra photo card. I myself am not lucky.
- Survey card, which I will detail into more in a second
- So, there was actually a mixup in relation to this album and the sleeves having the wrong Hanja character (That’s Chinese character) printed on it. Instead of delaying the album, BigHit released it anyways, and sent out instructions on how to order the correct sleeves. This is done through that QR code.
- Things to note about the survey:
- It is short sweet and to the point
- Information you need:
- Album version. If you have all 4, you will need to fill this out 4 times
- First Name
- Last Name
- E-mail address
- Address
- Country (note, for me this displayed in Korean, even though I was looking at it in English. In Korean, USA is with the Ms because it is 미국 (pronounced meegook)
- If you asked me to pick my favorite photo book out of the 4 shown here, it is definitely the L version. The rips that they used are so cool!
- I still do like the other ones. The E version, with the tutus around their necks confuses me a little, but I like it anways! They look like they popped out of Shakespeare.
- I also refer to the F version as the jungle gym version
- The S version is the Red Box of Death version
K-Points: 450/5
If you cannot tell by the use of the gifs, I really love how avant-garde BTS went for this release. I think the photo books for this part of the series are very unique, and add even more flavor to an already flavorful group. Honestly, if you read my review of the album, I was floored by how good BTS Love Yourself: Answer was. Like BTS with their fame could have produced something awful, and everyone would have still bought it. They didn’t though. They made a beautiful piece of musical art.
Should you buy this album? Absolutely. It is phenomenal! Plus, it includes all the songs of the first 2 parts, if you don’t own those! Which version should you buy? Well that is up to you. I love L, but I also like E cause it reminds me of a Midsummer’s Night Dream with the Shakespeare tutu necks! Can you just stream the album? Absolutely, but I think this is one you would not regret buying a copy of.
What new track on this album is your favorite? Let me know in the comments below, K-Nuggets!
사랑합니다!
