Kep1er 5th Mini Album 'Magic Hour' Preview: Pre-order Inclusions

If you order the album before September 25th, you'll get a nine-piece photo card set and optionally a poster! The photo card set is our personal highlight, because it ensures that we definitely get a card from our bias.

With a lot of luck you will even get a Polaroid. Attention: The Polaroids are extremely limited and only included in a few albums. We keep our fingers crossed for you!

But that's not all!

Alternatively, there are nine digital Platform Albums.

Each version is dedicated to one of the nine members of Kep1er: Yujin, Mashiro, Hikaru, Yeseo, Xiaoting, Chaehyun, Bahiyyih, Youngeun or Dayeon.

As is so often the case with digital albums, you can look forward to a whole lot of photo cards! Each version includes a mini card with QR code, a Polaroid photo card and an official photo card set, which consists of 3 cards each. The QR code gives you access to digital content like the songs, exclusive photos and more. Which member is featured on these cards depends on the version: So buyers of the Yujin version will get a Yujin mini card, a Yujin Polaroid card and a Yujin photo card set!

In addition, each buyer gets a sticker, a Group photo card, two of nine possible selfie photo cards, and if you're really lucky, even a Polaroid. As with the standard versions, the Polaroids are extremely limited and only included in a few albums.

Get one or more versions and bring the magic home!

Is Magic Hour the penultimate album from Kep1er?

Magic Hour is believed to be the penultimate Korean album from Kep1er as the girl group's contract is expected to end in mid-2024.

When Kep1er was formed on the survival show "Girls Planet 999", Mnet announced early on that it was a project group that would only be active together for two and a half years. Unfortunately, this time is slowly coming to an end.

Since debuting with the mini album "First Impact" in January 2022, Kep1er has released three more Korean albums. "Magic Hour" is therefore the fifth album in total. In between, two Japanese single albums were also released. There were always about four to six months between the Korean albums. If this goes on, it will be hard to release more than one album in 2024.

That's why it's even more important to enjoy the time we have left!
