Photocards That You Definitely Need to Know About Right Now!

We all know about photocards and how popular they are in the Kpop fandom. Every Kpop fan collects them or at least thinks about collecting them. So much so that many superfans have collections full of hundreds if not thousands of cards that they have collected throughout the years, spending a lot of money, and taking a lot of care to preserve them.

Kpop standom knows no bounds and it is a favourite pastime of many kpop fans.

History of Photocards

First, we will talk about the history of photocards. If you are a superfan who has delved into the history of modern kpop, you probably know this but if you don’t, that’s alright too. We are, after all, here to inform you.

When the TVXQ group released their new album all the way back in 2007, their managing label, SM Entertainment, released the very first photocards with them. Only available in Japan, they didn’t exactly catch on as the Kpop craze level wasn’t nearly as high at that time.

But then, in 2010, SM Entertainment tried the photocard idea again with their girl group ‘SNSD’. This time the trend caught on. And as we know, today, photocards are such a phenomenon that even western artists have begun including them with their physical album sales.

Now, let us look at some of the most popular Kpop photocards & photocard albums right now.
