How to Preorder the BabyMonster Album, BABYMONS7ER

YG Entertainment will release the first BabyMonster mini-album, BABYMONS7ER, on April 1, 2024, featuring all seven members of the group (including Ahyeon!) reunited. The hype is through the roof, and fans wants to know exactly how they can get their hands on the album as soon and easily as possible. So here, we will explain exactly where and how to preorder BABYMONS7ER, the first BabyMonster mini-album (including the photobook version and the seven “Tag” versions), plus an explanation of what preorder bonuses (POB) are included at individual domestic and international retailers carrying the physical album for purchase. We will also explain the difference between the photobook and Tag album options.

Explaining Photobook, Tag, & Bundle Album Contents

At present, BABYMONS7ER is being sold in a traditional photobook version, and it is being sold in seven different “Tag” versions. There is one Tag version to correspond to each BabyMonster member, respectively, meaning there are Ruka, Pharita, Asa, Ahyeon, Rami, Rora, and Chiquita versions. At YG Entertainment, “Tag” refers to scanning a card to receive digital access to music, so there is no CD included; however, it is a slightly more eco-friendly option. Each of the seven Tag versions can be bought individually, but all seven Tag versions can also be purchased collectively as a bundle.

As you can see in the images below, the BABYMONS7ER photobook version contains the following contents, no matter where you purchase it:

  • big photobook (68p)
  • small photobook (36p)
  • folded poster
  • clear sticker
  • accordion postcard
  • 3 out of 14 selfie photocards (random)
  • physical CD
