Hyoyeon (HYO) Deep The First Mini-Album Unboxing

EDM music has always been a genre that I greatly enjoy. It is high-vibe and a little unconventional but it will always keep you dancing. Because of that I have been following Hyoyeon (HYO) from Girls’ Generation music since she first came out with “Sober” in 2018. So, when it was announced that all of her past singles were coming out on her first mini-album Deep, I had to pick it up. Keep reading to find out what comes with the album, my thoughts, and where you can pick up a copy.

K-Points: 439/5

Although only one of the songs on this album is new, I’m very excited to finally have a physical copy of all of the songs. Many of these songs have been on my playlist for years, so it is nice to have a backup copy if they suddenly get pulled from streaming services (which has happened in the past).

If you want to watch me fangirl, I do also post reactions on my YouTube Channel. I have posted one for her Girls’ Generation group mat Yoona’s “Summer Night”, 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!
