Ordering My Golden Child 2021 Concert Summer Breeze Merchandise on Woollim Mall

On June 18th, 2021 at 2PM both MyMusicTaste and Woollim announced Golden Child's 2021 concert "Summer Breeze" set for Saturday, July 17th at 2PM and Sunday, July 18th to be held both online and offline! On MMT's event page under the FAQ tab, they announced that MD would be sold only via Woollim Mall. On June 29th at 7:30PM KST, Woollim tweeted the "2021 GOLDEN CHILD CONCERT 'Summer Breeze' Official MD" pack shot image release including the sales period of June 30th 6PM KST through July 19th 11:59PM KST. The image shows the actual products, along with a list of products for sale. On June 30th at 1PM KST, Woollim tweeted the product details (including versions, material, and prices), along with the delivery schedule of July 30th and purchase limit of 5 for each product.

The merchandise listed includes:

  • T-SHIRT (in mustard, navy, or white) / 35,000₩ / $29.65 USD
  • SNAPBACK / 35,000₩ / $29.65 USD
  • PHOTOBOOK / 25,000₩ / $21.18 USD
  • ICE TUMBLER & STICKER SET / 25,000₩ / $21.18 USD
  • FAN (1 version per member; able to choose which member) / 13,000₩ / $11.01 USD
  • NESSRING (sizes 13-16) / 52,000₩ / $44.04 USD
  • TINCASE & PHOTOCARD SET / 30,000₩ / $25.41 USD
  • POSTER SET / 20,000₩ / $16.94 USD
Under an hour before preorders opened, Woollim announced 2 events for those purchasing "Summer Breeze" merch:
  • Photocard Event: For every 20,000₩ spent, customers will receive 1 random photocard out of 10
  • Polaroid Event: All customers who purchase over 100,000₩ will automatically be entered into a lottery to win 1 of 50 Polaroids
As we all know, Everline which runs Woollim Mall is very unfriendly for international shoppers as their shipping rate is greatly over exaggerated. However with the 2 super enticing events, I wanted to purchase from Woollim Mall directly to lock in the photocards (spending 200,000₩ seems doable if I'm already planning on ordering almost everything).

In the end, I decided to order 1 of each item (for items with multiple versions, I bought 1 shirt, 1 ring, and 2 fans). The product total was $210.07 USD (thankfully I made the threshold for 10 photocards!) and shipping was a whopping $195.49 USD. I successfully placed my order within 8 minutes of preorders opening, however at the time the Nessring had no size option. I checked again at 6:45PM KST and the size option dropdown was available. I replied to my order details email to make sure I could secure a ring size 13, and within 7 minutes they replied in English that they would "reflect the ring lake" (this is clearly via a translator app). I checked my order page a few days later and there was an exchange made: it showed that the Nessring was updated from no option to size 13.

On July 13th at 10AM KST, Woollim tweeted that they are postponing the concert due to the updated COVID restrictions. At 10:15AM KST, Woollim Mall tweeted with the announcement on their site that the pre-sale of the official concert merch will also be postponed. Purchasing will be stopped at 5PM KST on July 13th and you can cancel your order by 5PM on July 19th via Q&A board or 1:1 inquiry. They will inform us of delivery and second sales schedule once the concert has been rescheduled.

On August 13th at 5PM KST, My Music Taste announced the cancellation of the concert series instead of just a postponement.

On August 13th at 5:43PM KST, Woollim Mall posted their statement via Twitter that with the cancellation of the concert, the OFFICIAL MD refund request can take place from August 13th at 5PM KST through the end of the day on August 17th KST. Official MD that you didn't cancel within the period will be shipped sequentially from the second week of September.

On September 14th, K-ness started receiving their merch.

On September 19th, I received an email from UPS stating a package from EVERLINE is scheduled for delivery for tomorrow! I opened the tracking and it showed that the label was created on the 17th, but with no further update and no estimated delivery date. My order on Woollim Mall still showed the status as pending.

On September 27th PT I emailed Everline asking for a status update. About 24 hours later I received another email from UPS stating a package from EVERLINE is scheduled for tomorrow, with a different tracking number, and tracking history actually showing movement.
My package arrived on September 29th. To my surprise, the box is HUGE! The dimensions are larger than 21" by 16.5" by 5".
On the outside is a disclaimer stating to take an unboxing video in case of missing or damaged products, and that a video is required within 7 days of receiving the product to proceed with receiving exchanges or missing items. I thought it was a bit odd that Everline explicitly called this out, as if they are expecting to send incorrect orders...I did take an unboxing video, just in case.
Here is how the items were packaged. Most items were bubblewrapped, and then there was an extra layer of bubblewrap on top.
Here are the items - the fans came in clear slips, the photocard set, poster set, Nessring, and tumbler came in bubblewrap bags taped so they were very snug, and the photobook and shirt had their own packaging. As for the snapback...

As I was taking video and counting the items...I realized that there was no snapback nor photocard set from the photocard event. My heart dropped, and now I was so consumed with stress and frustration that I couldn't properly enjoy what I did receive. I immediately emailed Everline from my original order confirmation email, with my video along with my sadness at not having my complete order.
A few hours later I took a breather and decided to look at the Nessring packaging. I opened the bubblewrap bag and found the pack of photocards from the photocard event! They had slipped it inside this product so it won't get lost, however it definitely wasn't obvious.
The packet had all 10 photocards that arrived in this order. The photocards are all glossy. The thing is my order should contain 12 photocards, but I only received 10, whereas my friend who ordered less than me received 11 photocards...regardless, I'm just relieved that a full set was included in my order^^
The backsides of the photocards are really cute! I like how they represent the concert^^

I'll update this post in regards to my missing snapback and you can also find my unboxing reviews of the merch of Golcha's faces (fan, photobook, poster set, and tincase) here and the practical items (tumbler, t-shirt, and nessring) here.

Order Update: I had replied to my Woollim Mall order email with an explanation of my situation along with video proof of my unboxing on September 29th. On October 4th I sent a follow up email. On October 6th I started a new email again with an explanation and a video, however I received a bounce back saying that the mailbox is full. I then went to my order page on Woollim Mall and requested an exchange for the snapback, however that only prompted a refund for the item (which I received on October 8th) - the frustrating thing here is that it doesn't account for the prorated shipping fee. Right away (still on the 6th) I emailed another Everline support email but still have yet to hear back.

Final Update: It's now October 29th and there is still no update from Everline >.<

Ordering Fansite Merch via Duckzill

Fansite merch is such a fun part of being in a fandom. They can be obtained various ways, such as by purchasing or receiving freebies on site at events, given out during cafe events, or by preordering online or via a group order. I've generally only gotten fansite merch from events on site, but when I saw a Jaehyun cheering slogan from his fansite YOUNG&RICH using a photo from one of my absolutely most favorite Jaehyun looks, I couldn't pass the opportunity to have this.

For this particular case, I would have had to go through a group order since there are no opportunities to purchase at any in-person venues. But now, there is the online retailer Duckzill that fansites use to post their goods to sell internationally. These goods range from cheering slogan sets, to photocard holders, to cup sleeves from cafe events. Fansites send their goods to Duckzill, and then Duckzill ships your order. Therefore, you can purchase multiple goods with combined shipping from various events and fansites. I tried adding various other products to my order, however the shipping greatly increased depending on the product, so I decided to only order the 1 cheering slogan from Duckzill.

You should pay attention to the product listing and whether the item is a preorder with a set closing date, or if the item is a stock sale where either the fansite or Duckzill already has the inventory on hand.

There is a Korean site (for those shipping within Korea), Japanese site (for those shipping to Japan), and English site (for those shipping anywhere else). The price is originally listed in KRW, and the price on the English site is using a 1,000₩ = $1 USD conversion.

Looking at the ordering process, it looks very similar to Everline's (especially the shipping setup). I ordered the product listed here and followed the fansite's Twitter as they provide the most updated information on the slogan production and shipping. The slogan itself was $10 USD and shipping was $16 (weight is .3kg = product weight is .2kg + box weight is .1kg) with no option of the carrier or shipping method. The website takes both PayPal and credit card. 

The fansite has continued to update on production (there was a quality assurance issue so the slogan had to be reproduced) and shipping via Twitter. On August 23rd Duckzill sent an email containing a fansite update, but of course Twitter is where you'll get the latest updates. While August 17th was the original ship date, on September 2nd the fansite updated that shipping has started. On September 4th, a K-Ness posted on Twitter that they had received their slogan. I checked my Duckzill account on September 13th and saw that my order had updated with a carrier (OrangeDS) and an ONS shipping number which I couldn't use. For $16 shipping I would have thought they would have used some sort of EMS...I checked my order again on September 17th and a master tracking number was also populated. This master tracking number is a USPS number. I continued to view my order on Duckzill and on USPS to use both tracking histories as they did differ.
My package arrived via USPS on September 27th. My item was packaged in a waterproof bubblewrap envelope and had a cute Duckzill logo sticker.
Because the envelope was already lined with a layer of bubblewrap inside, my item didn't need additional protection. The cheering slogan came in a plastic zipper pack as explained in the fansite's description.
And here is the cheering slogan! It was well worth the wait^^ It's a soft yet firm microfiber slogan with an image of Jaehyun from KCON Thailand back in September 2019. The funny thing was this day was back before I officially considered Jaehyun as a bias, but at the time this photo and this entire day captivated me so much. And it makes me so happy to have this as a cheering slogan now^^
Here is the backside^^

Overall, I'm just happy to have this cheering slogan! I wish the shipping process were better and more apparent, especially with the carrier, But it is nice being able to buy fansite goods officially from a website so that I have the security as a customer and can handle any discrepancies with a business, despite the business still being a middleman.

Additionally, Duckzill also has a page listing out various ongoing fansite events, which is helpful for those wanting to go cafe hopping in Korea. Duckzill does seem to be a fairly useful site for fansite goods and events, and I can't wait to use it to go cafe hopping in the future^^

Rocket Punch: Ketchy 2nd Generation Fanclub Membership Review

Rocket Punch's 1st generation fanclub membership has already come to an end. The 1st generation Ketchy membership lasted from May 1st, 2020 to May 1st, 2021. On May 21st at 12PM KST, Woollim announced via Twitter that the 2nd Generation recruitment period would be from May 21st at 2PM KST through June 30th 11:50PM KST, with the active period being July 1st, 2021 through June 30th, 2022 via Vlive. That being said, there is a 2 month gap between the generations.

There are 2 package options:
  • Official Fan Club Membership Fee (WELCOME KIT included) for 35,000₩ or $31.48 USD ($36.43 USD delivery fee to the US)
  • Official Fan Club Membership Fee (WELCOME KIT excluded) for 25,000₩ or $22.49 USD
As a note, I pulled these prices at the beginning of Golden Child's 3rd generation fanclub membership recruitment period, on June 7th. Both Ketchy 2nd generation and Goldenness 3rd generation are offered via Vlive with the same membership prices in KRW, however the exchange rate fluctuated throughout the recruitment period. There was no way for me to pay in KRW so I had to accept the fluctuating exchange rate. For Golden Child's, I purchased their Official Fan Club Membership + Welcome Kit on June 7th at $31.48 USD plus $36.43 USD shipping for a total of $67.91 USD. For Rocket Punch's, I purchased their Official Fan Club Membership + Welcome Kit on June 26th at $30.82 USD plus $35.66 shipping for a total of $66.48 USD.

Both packages include the Vlive Fanship, special events, and advanced booking. The details of the welcome kit were revealed on June 25th at 2PM KST with a photo preview of the MD. Based on the image, the welcome kit includes mostly all paper goods along with a fabric keyring, so it's disappointing but not surprising how expensive the shipping fee is.

Applying for the fanclub membership is very straightforward via Vlive's mobile app. I selected the first option, and it already had all my identification and shipping info filled out, then it routed me to PayPal to complete my one-time purchase of $66.48 USD (membership + kit + shipping to the US).

You can access your fanship by going to Rocket Punch's Vlive channel, then the "My Profile" icon, then "MEMBERSHIP" to view the shipping status of the welcome kit. There is a request period until July 30th at 7:59AM (I'm assuming this is my local time); however there is no additional action needed during this time frame unless you need to change your address. The original estimated arrival date was October 28th through November 27th. Note that the membership number is your V LIVE App number so it's the same for all your fanships.

On June 30th at 6PM, Woollim tweeted that the recruitment period has been extended through July 14th at 11:50PM KST.

On August 13th at 11:50PM KST, I received a Vlive notification that the welcome kit is preparing for delivery and will be shipped soon. I then checked my Fanship and the estimated arrival date updated to August 19th through November 27th.

On August 28th I checked my Fanship again and the shipping status updated to "In delivery". Clicking on the details provided a various tracking numbers and showed that it was shipped out on August 24th. One of the tracking numbers included was for UPS. Checking the UPS tracking, it showed that my package weighs 0.8 lbs.
Both my Golden Child and Rocket Punch fankits arrived on September 4th, in a flat cardboard packaging.
The flaps are quite large, offering several layers of protection. There was also a layer of bubblewrap around the fankit.
Here is the fankit packaging! The fankit comes in an envelope style packaging with a nice velvety texture, and this envelope was placed inside a clear resealable bag. The front of the envelope has a pretty group photo from the set of Rocket Punch's "Ring Ring (Acoustic Version)" music video! I'm really happy that there is physical merch from this music video set; I love how naturally gorgeous this shoot is. Also the logo for this fankit is really cute! It's Rocket Punch's usual logo, but with "ROCKET PUNCH" and "KETCHY" in one of the inner rings, showing the bond between the girls and the fandom.
Here is the backside of the envelope packaging. The membership card is inside a clear resealable bag that is taped to the envelope. To avoid tearing the envelope, I cut the top part of the resealable bag and slid out the membership card. To the right of that is the list of items in the fankit, including the membership card, the welcome card, photo cards, 4-cut photos, mini posters, fabric keyring, and this envelope. And lastly the sticker holding down the envelope flap has the cute fankit logo.
Here is a closer look at the sticker. To preserve the sticker, you can slowly and carefully peel the sticker rather than cutting through it. Unfortunately part of the sticker still stuck onto the pink part of the envelope, so this was the best I could do to preserve it.
Vlive's usual blue slip of paper was also included, with this backside containing information in both Korean and English for requesting to exchange goods.
Here are how the contents looked inside the envelope. From top to bottom are the photocard set, keyring, 4-cut photo set, welcome card, and mini poster set.
The photocard set, 4-cut photo set, and fabric keyring all come in their own clear resealable bags. The mini poster set is held together by a translucent paper ship with the fankit logo in the center. The photos from the envelope, 4-cut photo set, and mini poster set are all from the "Ring Ring (Acoustic Version)" music video photoshoot.
Here is a closer look at the membership card. The card is hard plastic and your V LIVE App number and name (as entered under More --> Settings --> Profile Info --> Name) are printed at the bottom left. The design is really pretty, with the fankit logo in the center. The pastel pink and blue color combination is really pretty as well.
I love how the backside is pink on blue whereas the frontside is blue on pink, adding a nice contrast. There is a spot to sign, along with the Woollim authentication seal, and general information in Korean.
Here is a comparison of both Ketchy membership cards. I like how both have a variation of Rocket Punch's logo in the center.
Here is the frontside of the welcome card. It is rather simple with the fankit logo in the center. This card is made of matte cardstock and is about 4.375" by 6.125".
The backside of the welcome card has each member's printed message.
Here is the photocard set, which was organized by age order. Juri's is so cute with the [Ring Ring] sticker set merch!
The backsides of the photocards have the members' printed messages and signs. These photocards have a glossy finish.
Here is the 4-cut photo set, which was also organized by age order. These are like a sticker sheet with a glossy front and matte white back. The dimensions of each sheet are roughly 2.75" by 3.9375".
Here is the mini poster set. Each poster is made of matte cardstock that's a bit thinner than the welcome card. The backsides are all white. The dimensions are about 5.875" by 8.25".
There are a total of 25 posters. The first is a group shot, followed by 4 individual photos per member in age order.
Here are Juri's, Yeonhee's, and Suyun's posters. All the posters are so beautiful; I can't emphasize enough how happy I am that the girls had an entire photoshoot at this music video site!
And here are Yunkyoung's, Sohee's, and Dahyun's posters.
And lastly is the fabric keyring.The fastener is metal. The fabric strap is woven with "ROCKET PUNCH" embedded on top.  The "C"s have an asterisk design that is being used throughout the fankit.
The backside of the fabric strap is blank. The strap is about 4.25" by 1".

Overall, I'm really happy about the contents of this welcome kit! I love how majority of the contents are paper goods from this gorgeous photoshoot (my favorite of Rocket Punch's to date), and how there is still a "practical item", meaning the keyring. Now if only I can make the most of my membership^^

Golden Child: Game Changer 2nd Album (Normal Edition) Review

Golden Child is back with their second full album Game Changer, making it their second comeback of 2021. Game Changer was released on August 2nd with a limited edition and 3 normal editions. I blogged about ordering my Game Changer albums here. I gave an intro to this comeback, provided my fangirl thoughts, and broke down the tracklist in my blog post about the limited edition here. In this post, I'll blog about the 3 normal editions as well as the preorder/first press bonuses (accordion postcard and posters).

Preorder / First Press Benefits
Each album comes with one accordion postcard; there is only one version of this postcard. Each comes in its own clear resealable bag with Daeyeol on the front, Jaehyun on the back.
Opening up the accordion postcard reveals hyung line on one side. All photos used are from the Version C photoshoot, and these photos were previously released as part of the members' individual photos prior to this comeback. The postcard is just under 4" by 6" and has a matte finish.
The other side contains the maknae line. I'm so relieved that this side is much softer than the hyung line's side! I've been displaying this side with pride.
This era also includes 3 first press exterior posters, one from each photoshoot. This poster is from Version A. Surprisingly these posters are back to Woollim's normal sized posters, with dimensions matching Gol-Cha! through Without You.
Here is the poster representing Version B. The images from the Version A and B posters are included as the last group photo in the photobooks of their respective normal album versions.
And here is the poster representing Version C. The image of this poster is the same as this version's album cover, with the only difference for this poster is the text in the center.

Album Packaging
Here are the front covers of the 3 normal edition albums. They came in a loose clear plastic wrap. These albums are in a photobook style and the covers have a canvas paper feel. The text is embossed in a gold color. Version A is the beige one with a resort theme, Version B is the green one with a European garden theme, and Version C is the blue one where the members had their own concept and individual photoshoots.
The spines of the photobooks are all quite similar. They are all the same shade of brown and have gold lettering.
This normal edition has about the same dimensions as the YES. album.
Here is how the normal edition compares with the limited edition, as well as Golden Child's other 2020-2021 album releases.
The backsides of the albums again have their designated version color, along with the tracklist.

Photobooks
For the first few pages and last few pages of the photobooks, I'll compare all 3 versions. The inside of the front cover has an inside pocket where the album inclusions were originally stored. The next page has this era's logo printed at the bottom.
Here are how the album inclusions looked like when I first opened my albums. The transparent postcard is in the back while the 2 photocards are faced down and spread on top of the postcard. I will blog more about the album inclusions later on in this post.
The second to last page of the photobooks has a group thanks to message. Unfortunately there are no individual member thanks to messages for either the normal edition or limited edition of Game Changer.
The very last page has the album credits. The inside of the back cover has a vertical slit for the CD.
Here are the CD designs. They all have an iridescent sheen matching their respective version colors.

Version A Photobook

I'll blog about majority of each photobook in separate sections. They all generally follow the same format, but I wanted to break down the specifics like this.
The photobook starts off with a photo from the shoot location, followed by a group photo.
Next there are 2 pages per member, with 1 photo per page.
I really like how Y's set of photos here looks like a pictorial! I also like the subtle page details, with "RII" at the top corners, "GAME CHANGER" on the sides, and page numbers at the bottom corners. This applies to all 3 photobook versions.
Daeyeol pulls off this shade of blond so well! I wish for the close-up shot they didn't have so much wasted space...
I like how they mix up the page layouts, like with how the right photo spills into the left page.
Jibeom has this naturally confident aura around him that I love! It's so nice seeing his progression throughout the eras as a model!
The next few pages contain 1 photo per member, with 1 to 2 photos per page. And how better than to open up this section with bongbeom^^
The pairings are really a bit too perfect, with baejangtaek next...
The next section contains 1 photo per member, with 1 photo per page. Starting off with jangtaek!
And daeyoon as well!
Next is another group photo along with alonger photo from the shooting location.
Next each 2-page spread contains 1 page for each song's credits and lyrics opposite of an individual member photo.
Here is a close-up of Donghyun and his trademark eye stickers of this era^^
The last track has a group photo accompanying it. This group photo is the same as the Version A external first press poster.

Version B Photobook
This version's photobook starts with a 2-page spread group photo.
Next there are 2 pages per member, with 1 photo per page.
I am in love with this photoshoot. The mix of nature, European sculptures, and Golcha in luxurious attire is beautiful.
Just like with the previous version's shoot, I can't get over Tag in this shoot either. He is seriously killing it with this hairstyle! I love how his hairstyles are usually bright colors, so this time with a natural hair color it's still a bold style with the shaved side.
Jibeom looks so angelic here with those wings behind him^^
Despite Joochan's referee style top, I really love his straight-on photos in front of the fountain.
The next section contains 1 page per member, with 1 photo per page. I really like how Tag's top matches the gate.
This is definitely my favorite version of the 3 for Jangjun!
Bomin's photo is superior...he looks like such a model here.
Next is another set of 10 pages, with 1 photo of each member per page. If you thought the Version C photoshoot was deadly...Version B is also just as deadly for Jaehyun...
Like the previous version, each 2-page spread contains 1 page for each song's credits and lyrics opposite of an individual member photo. This shot is also really pretty with the structure perfectly framing Bomin.
Donghyun's photos from this shoot are beautiful but subtle compared to the other members' more dramatic backdrops.
The last track has a group photo accompanying it. This group photo is the same as the Version B external first press poster.

Version C Photobook
This version differs from the others, where each member has his own concept and individual shooting location. Each member has 3 different outfits within their own shoot, however not all 3 outfits are shown in this version (and it seems like Seungmin only has 2 outfits overall?). I wanted to show all the outfits included in this version, so it'll be a bit photo heavy. The real warning though is that this shoot is a bit dangerous...this version starts with film strips of the various shooting locations, like the comeback poster.
Next there are 4 consecutive pages per member, with 5 photos total. I still cannot believe Jaehyun's individual concept...bubble bath in a white sleeveless top but yet he looks so pure and innocent?!
AND THEN WHAT IS THIS?! Exposed but yet so soft and pure?! And seriously Jaehyun playing with bubbles is so adorable! My heart and mind can't process...and another thing! I said there were 3 outfits per member, but some album inclusions show Jaehyun with a navy pajama top...it took me a long time to realize it's because he took his top off for this photo...I can't believe none of those pretty, fully clothed PJ photos didn't make it into either photobook!
And this is insane! Just gazing into the distance wearing just a robe on top?!
This one is much better!
Here are Jangjun's more tame outfits.
And more exposure...though honestly for this one I must say it's disappointing that they washed out his abs when Jangjun's worked so hard for them!
The exposure continues on with Daeyeol. I really love his sleeveless look!
And here is Daeyeol's other outfit.
I really didn't expect Tag to expose himself...!
Here are his other 2 looks.
Thank you for protecting Jibeom!
Here is another one of Jibeom's looks.
Here are Seungmin's 2 outfits (seriously why doesn't he have 3?). I like how soft he looks here (I purposely didn't show the photos showing more of his lacy button-down...)
I cannot get over just how cute Donghyun is here! This is one of my most favorite Donghyun shoots, with the retro feel mixed with a boyish and youthful concept. This is so different from the other members' mature concepts!
And here are Donghyun's other looks, which continue with that retro and youthful appearance.
These photos don't do them justice but this shoot probably my absolute favorite for Joochan!
I also really like the page layout here; it's simple yet elegant like this shoot.
And here are 2 of Bomin's looks.
Like the previous versions, each 2-page spread contains 1 page for each song's credits and lyrics opposite of an individual member photo. Look at how cute Donghyun is here!
Here is Jibeom's 3rd look.
And here is Y's 3rd look.
The last image is a collage of the 10 shooting locations.

Album Inclusions
Each normal version album comes with 2 random photocards out of a whopping 100. Woollim is seriously making it nearly impossible for people to collect everything without dropping a fortune, starting with the normal YES. albums containing 1 out of 50 photocards, and now 2 out of 100. I've lost my drive to collect all album inclusions as quickly as possible starting with YES. era. But the photocards this era are really colorful and pretty...anyways, there are 10 photocards per member, and they are all selcas from the 3 photoshoots.
The backsides all have the same design, but each card does have a different printed message and sign. These cards have a glossy finish.
Each normal version album also comes with 1 transparent postcard out of 10, and each version has its own set of 10. The frame is opaque while the image is translucent (despite officially being called transparent). These are made out of transparency paper and are about 5.9375" by 3.9375".

Overall, when the members' teasers started being released (starting with Jaehyun) I thought that I wouldn't like this era, but lo and behold Jaehyun solidified himself as my only bias (I thought Jibeom would stand the test of time...but I guess I thought the same about Bomin too...), I am in love with the entire tracklist ("That Feeling" has become my favorite Golden Child song after "Go Together"...), the "Fanfare" stage outfits and performances are on point, I've loved everything about this era!
