Out of all K-Pop groups in existence, EXO is the one group that if they make it, I will buy it. So, when I saw that EXO was coming out with another photobook, I knew that I needed it. That is how the EXO Present; the moment Photobook made its way into my collection. Keep reading to find out what comes with the photobook, my thoughts, and where you can pick up a copy.
Things to know about the EXO Present; the moment Photobook:
The EXO Present; the moment and EXO Present; the gift photobooks were taken on EXO’s trip to Oahu. This is the second photobook released out of the two from the trip on September 10th, 2019. The first one, PRESENT; the gift, was released on April 30th, 2019. In these photobooks, you can see the boys traveling all over Oahu and fun fact: The horseback riding scenes are from the Kualoa Ranch where Jurrasic Park was filmed and the boys did basically everything on the island as told to me by Kyle, the zipline guide when I was zip-lining there with my cousin. Kyle also got to talk with the boys and allow them to practice their English a little bit.
- There are 2 versions of this photobook:

Honestly, this photobook is very special to me. Not only does it have the members of EXO in it, but it’s even cooler because I look at the places in it and can recognize a number of them or have been to the same location. One thing I can say: Hawaii is just as beautiful in real life. So, it’s nice to be able to squeal and reminisce at the same time when looking at this photobook.
If you want to watch me fangirl, I do also post reactions over on my YouTube Channel. I have posted one for EXO Tempo, which you can watch below:
Where Can I Buy It?
I honestly do not remember where I picked this photobook up from. If Music Plaza LA (where I get most of my stuff from has it) You can get a copy here. Additionally, if you have never used Music Plaza before, this link will get you an extra 5% off of your first purchase! You can also order a copy of the photobook from eBay, as they typically have good prices. This link will help you with your search. Plus, with eBay, you can save a little bit of money by using the Rakuten extension on your browser, as it will save you 2% on all album purchases, which definitely adds up.
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!
Can I get it on Amazon?
If Amazon has it, you can find it here with free shipping if you have Amazon Prime. 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 lifesaver. 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 costs $7.99 a month, and you get the first 30 days for free with this link.
