[talk] "170,000 won for one album?" ... Seventeen, the reason the fandom was shocked by the price of the deluxe album is a hot topic of debate

The price of the deluxe version of the group SEVENTEEN's best album has been revealed.

On the 7th, a notice for the release of the deluxe version of the best album '17 IS RIGHT HERE' was posted on SEVENTEEN's official Weverse.

According to Pledis Entertainment, the album went on sale at 11 AM that day.

The deluxe version of the best album being released this time contains a photobook, archiving book, lyric book, 2 CDs, folder poster, sticker pack, 13 types of key rings, and a photocard set.

The regular price of the album is 204,900 won, but it is being sold online for 177,000 won, a 17% discount.

The regular version of the best album released on the 29th has a regular price of 19,100 won and a discounted price of 15,900 won.

Also, the Weverse version is being sold at a cheaper price of 11,600 won. However, the deluxe version started selling at a price that is nearly 10 times that of the regular version.

The special album 'SECOND WIND' by SEVENTEEN unit Boo Seok-soon, which was released last year, was priced at 59,400 won, and the price included a t-shirt, scrunchie, hairband, mask, and socks.

Additionally, the deluxe version of Seventeen's 'FML' was priced at 37,100 won and included 13 photocards and 10 team photocards.

The price of the deluxe version album has increased significantly in about a year. Of course, this best album contains a huge amount of 32 songs, including the title songs from the albums that Seventeen has released over the past 10 years and 4 new songs.

In particular, the prices for the SEVENTEEN concert 'SEVENTEEN TOUR 'FOLLOW' AGAIN TO SEOUL' held on April 27th and 28th were 198,000 won for VIP seats, 154,000 won for R seats, and 132,000 won for S seats.

The price of this album is set to be more expensive than the general concert seats. Many fans are surprised by this.

Since the price of the deluxe version of the album was in the late 30,000 won range, fans expected the price to be in the 40,000 to 50,000 won range after the announcement of the deluxe version release. However, when the price was set at a whopping 170,000 won, a heated debate ensued.

Fans are responding with comments such as, "How can the price suddenly jump 4-5 times?", "This is the same price as a concert", "It's too expensive for a deluxe version of a best album", "HYBE did HYBE", "Isn't this HYBE a bit much?" Some fans are also comparing the prices of other teams' best albums and deluxe versions and responding with, "Wasn't that expected?"
