We've known for almost two weeks that Kep1er is planning a comeback in October. But that news may have faded into the background a little, because in the last few days many fans of the girl group have been distracted by the new single “Sugar Rush”, which Kep1er recorded for the music app Universe. And now, all of a sudden, there are all kinds of details about the new album “Troubleshooter”!
Troubleshooter will be released on October 14, but you can already pre-order it from us in the shop today.
There are no fewer than 12 different versions to choose from!
First up are the three standard versions K (pink), Midnight (blue) and Daydream (yellow). They consist of a rectangular box whose cover is reminiscent of old TVs or radios. So this time, Kep1er seems to be trying out a retro concept!
Besides the CD in a sleeve and a 64-page photo book, you'll find a whole bunch of extras in the box! 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. We don't know exactly what the collection chip is all about; only that it's round and about as big as a photo card. But we love surprises, so we'll just wait excitedly until we can unbox the album and hold the chip in our own hands!
It pays to be quick, because only if you pre-order Troubleshooter do you get one of three possible posters, and you also have the chance to find one of the rare and extremely limited Polaroids in your album. (There are only 270 Polaroids per version in total, which are only randomly included in first press albums.)
Optionally, you can also add an extra photo card to your order!
Alternatively, there are nine more Digipack versions, each dedicated to one of the nine members.
They are a bit smaller than the standard versions, but perfect for anyone who wants a little more of their bias. Each version includes a CD, a photo book, one of 9 possible photo cards and a folded poster. Except for the random photo cards, all contents are designed differently depending on the version. If you buy the Yujin version, for example, almost everything revolves specifically around Yujin.
Will you get one of the Digipacks? Or can't you decide who you like best? Let us know in the comments!
Kep1er only debuted this year and has already released two Korean albums - “First Impact” & “DOUBLAST” - as well as the Japanese album “Fly-Up” recently. “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 more?
