Lovelyz: 治癒 (치유 / Healing) 4th Mini Album Review

Woollim is on fire this year, releasing practically one comeback per month! This time, it's Lovelyz' comeback on April 23rd, with their 4th mini album entitled 治癒 (치유 / Healing). It's been 5 months since Lovelyz' last comeback, and this time the lovely girls are back with their continued pure and innocent vibe, but with a spring vibe.

This time I pre-ordered the album with a folded poster on eBay from seller goods-store01 for $18.99 USD shipped. This is my first time pre-ordering an album on eBay, but I figured I'd give it a try because 1) this seller claims to be officially contracted with Synnara and that each purchase will count on the music charts of Synnara, Hanteo, Gaon, and Music Bank, and 2) I found ordering the album with a folded poster here was dollars cheaper than ordering from my usual of Ktown4u.

My package was shipped on the April 23rd and arrived on May 3rd, in just 10 days! Pictured above is the customs form. My album and poster arrived wrapped securely in 4 layers of bubblewrap and placed in a waterproof envelope. Overall I'm very happy with the condition, price, and speed of this eBay seller, and will definitely consider purchasing from them again.

Here are the album and folded poster. The poster is folded a bit smaller than other vendors, but I don't mind since it was packaged and protected due to its small size.

Lovelyz is continuing the book style packaging like their previous album Fall in Lovelyz; even the dimensions are the same as Fall in Lovelyz. The colors of this concept fit so well with the spring season.

The album cover is simple yet intricate, with a gloss overlay design on top of the matte album.

The back cover has a similar design. The tracklist is printed at the bottom.

Opening up the album, the CD is embedded on the left around a sturdy board backing and held in place by a foam circle. The right is the photobook. And hanging in the middle is a piece of hemp.

The photobook cover is one of the two group photos in the photobook. The photobook contains 92 pages.

Majority of the photos are of each member individually, and each page contains one photo. The first section of the photobook contains photos from the white photoshoot, the same photoshoot as the photobook cover. The girls look so pure and perfect as always!

The top of the left page states "LOVELYZ 4TH MINI ALBUM" while the top of the right page states  the album title, "- 治癒 -".

The next section contains photos from the blue photoshoot.

There is one page per song, including the song credits and lyrics. These pages are spread throughout the photobook.

The last main section contains photos from the brown photoshoot. All three main sections have roughly the same amount of photos.

I love Jiae's purple hair! It may be an unnatural color, but she pulls it off so well and it looks so natural here.

The next section contains 4 pages for the Thanks To.

Lastly there is one group photo from the brown photoshoot, and then the album credits on the last page. The girls look sophisticated and mature here, yet still fit their concept so well. Baby Soul reminds me of a safari attendant at an amusement park...but in a really cute way!

This album also includes 2 random photocards and 1 bookmark.

There are 2 photocard sets, both sets with 1 card per member. The first photocard set is the typical photocard, with a photo on one side and printed autograph on the backside. The images of these photocards are cute closeups of the girls. I got Sujeong's~

Here's the backside of my photocard.

The second photocard set also has a cute closeup on one side, and the backside has a childhood image of the member! I got Mijoo's~ Both cards are glossy and have similar dimensions to Lovelyz' previous small photocards (like from Lovelyz8, A New Trilogy, R U Ready?, and Now, We), except these are about 1mm narrower and 1mm taller.

Here's the baby picture of Mijoo!

The album also comes with 1 random member bookmark out of 8. This is where that random piece of hemp comes into play - you can string it through the hole at the top of the bookmark. The bookmark is made of thin cardstock with a matte front and slightly glossy (and fingerprint-prone) back. I got Jisoo's~ This image isn't included in the photobook.

Here is the backside of the bookmark. The entire cardstock is 3.5" by 5.125".

This comeback contains 2 exterior first press posters. One poster is horizontal and uses the same image as the photobook cover, and the other one is pictured above, with vertical orientation from the blue photoshoot. I'm happy to have gotten this poster version since this image isn't included in the photobook. I'm so glad that the image is much crisper than Woollim's previous posters with a grainy effect. The poster has a nice slighly glossy finish. The poster dimensions are the same as Woollim's usual exterior first press album posters.

Now I'll discuss the tracklist. This mini album contains 6 tracks:

1. 治癒 (치유) - (Healing) is the intro track. Both the intro track and title track are composed by none other than SWEETUNE! 
2. 그날의 너 - (That Day) is the title track, and definitely has the signature Lovelyz sound throughout the entire song! Furthermore, I'm so happy the girls have earned their first win for this song, as they've definitely deserved it and so much more. Furthermore, I'm really proud of the girls' participation in this album. Baby Soul solely participated in the chorus!
3. 미묘미묘해 - is such a fun B-track! Lovelyz performed this at this album showcase, and I hope they continue to perform this song live. The choreography is really cute! Baby Soul, Kei, and Sujeong also worked on the chorus!
4. Temptation - is another track with Baby Soul's participation, this time in the rap making!
5. 수채화 - (Watercolor) is a ballad composed by Razer of Rphabet! This is the same Rphabet that composed Infinite's later titles "Destiny", "Back", "Bad", "The Eye", "Tell Me". Lovelyz have been promoting this track along with the title.
6. Shining★Star - is another fun track that adds to the overall bubbly feel of this album. This song was created by the same team (1Take, TAK, AARAN) as Lovelyz' previous title track "Twinkle"!

Overall, I love this album! The selection of songs fit Lovelyz so well - this is probably my favorite album where I can constantly listen to all entire album on repeat. With the announcement of Lovelyz' Asia fan meeting tour, I can't wait to see what else this year has in store for the girls!
