Unboxing: J-Hope — Jack in the Box (HOPE Edition)

My copy of J-Hope's Jack in the Box (HOPE Edition) has arrived! 

Jack in the Box was originally released on July 15, 2022, in a Weverse Albums Version — basically, a digital format to play on the Weverse Albums app — that came with a physical card holder souvenir. In December 2022, a limited edition vinyl version was released. Upon much demand, BigHit finally released a full physical CD version called the Jack in the Box (HOPE Edition) on August 18, 2023. It is available at online and offline music retailers where albums are sold. Due to import fees, prices vary depending on the country where it is being sold, but on Weverse Shop (the official BTS merch store based in South Korea), it retails for ₩19,300 (or $19.72 USD).

It only took a year after its initial release, but we finally — FINALLY! — have a physical CD version of Jack in the Box! It's now sitting proudly on my shelf with all the other BTS solo physical albums, where it rightfully belongs.
