K-Points: 875/5

Honestly, I think that if you are going to buy only one BTS album, it should be this one. It has every single one of their hits! On top of that, the album also features some of the songs that are special to each of the members, so you know it has their personal touch. On top of that, the Standard Version gives you a full photocard set and then some!

If you want to watch me fangirl, I do also post reactions on my YouTube Channel. I have posted one for BTS ON, which you can watch below:

Where Can I Buy It?

You can get a copy of this at the following places:

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!
