Finally we know the details about "Troubleshooter" by Kep1er!

by Helen BoschSep 27, 2022

We've known for almost two weeks that Kep1er is planning an October comeback. But the information may have faded into the background a bit, because in the last few days many fans of the girl group were distracted by the new single "Sugar Rush", which Kep1er recorded for the music app Universe. And now suddenly there are already all kinds of details about the new album "Troubleshooter"!

Troubleshooter will be released on October 14, but you can pre-order it in our store starting today.

There are no less than 12 different versions to choose from!

First of all there are the three standard versions: K (pink), Midnight (blue) and Daydream (yellow). They consist of a rectangular box with covers reminiscent of old televisions or radios. So Kep1er is apparently venturing into a retro concept this time!

In the box you will find besides the CD in an envelope and a photo book with 64 pages a whole bunch of extras! These include a 12-page Lyric paper, two of 18 possible photo cards, one of nine ID cards, two stickers and one of nine Collection Chips. What exactly the Collection Chip is all about, we don't know; only that it's round and about the size of a photo card. But we love surprises, so we'll just wait in anticipation until we can unwrap the album and hold the chip in our hands ourselves!

It pays to be quick, because only if you pre-order Troubleshooter, you'll get one of three possible posters and you'll also have the chance to find one of the rare and extremely limited Polaroids in your album. (There are only 270 Polaroids total per version, and they are only randomly included in First Press albums.)

Optionally, you can also add an extra photo card to your order!

Alternatively, there are still nine digipack versions, each dedicated to one of the nine members.

They are slightly smaller than the standard versions, but perfect for those who want a little more of their bias. Each version includes a CD, a photo book, one of 9 possible photo cards, and a folded poster. With the exception of the random photo cards, all of the content is designed differently depending on the version. For example, if you buy the Yujin version, almost everything is specifically about Yujin.

Are you going to get one of the digipacks? Or can you not decide who you like best? Feel free to let us know in the comments!

If you want to know what teasers to expect in the coming days, you can take a look at the promotion schedule on Twitter!

Kep1er just debuted this year and has already released two Korean albums - "First Impact" & "DOUBLAST" - as well as the recent Japanese album "Fly-Up". "Troubleshooter" is therefore already the fourth album in 10 months! Is it the last album for this year or will the girl group surprise us once again?
