I’M THE LEAD SHEEP IN CHINA! Lay 02 Sheep has a habit of always getting stuck in my head on repeat. Because of this, when I finally found a copy of Sheep at KCON NY, I had to buy it. This of course was after I saw the cover, yelled the first sentence of this post. I then immediately watched the girl who worked there laugh and immediately pull a copy from the back for me. What can I say, I have character!
Although I did pick up my copy of Lay 02 Sheep at KCON NY, you can also get it on Amazon. On Amazon, the album costs $35.99 plus free shipping if you have Amazon Prime. That is a fair price, since the album is VERY thick (insert dirty joke here).
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.
Things to know about Lay 02 Sheep:
- There is only 1 version of the album
- Things that come with the album:
- Massive photo book (at least 300 pages)
- holographic cover that goes back and forth between Lay and a Sheep
- Sheep money

- The photo book that comes with the album is so weird that I love it. I have no idea what is happening in a number of the photos, and it just makes me so happy.
- I also cannot figure out if that is a real sheep or not in the photos.
- I will also note that they contrast these weird photos with ones of Lay looking like an adorable kiddo, as well as a dashing young man.
- The CD is hiding in the back of the album in a little envelope.
K-Points: 782/5
As you are probably aware, I picked up a copy of this album because I knew it was really strange. I was not wrong. I love how weird and out there the concept is for this album. Like why is Lay wearing turn of the century garb? Is it because he is dressed how the lead sheep should dress 100 years ago? This photo book is absolutely massive. It has photos of Lay that will tickle everyone’s fancy. Also, if you happen to get stuck on a Sheep planet, you have Sheep dollars to spend.
Should you buy a copy of this album? Absolutely! It is definitely up there in my list of strange albums, along with a number of the ones in my lists of best budget albums to start a K-Pop collection. Can you just stream it? Absolutely! The music is really catchy, and even though I don’t speak Chinese, I am a HUGE fan of Lay.
