It's unfortunate that Golden Child's planned Summer Breeze 2021 summer concert was cancelled, but nonetheless merchandise via Woollim Mall was still released for this event. You can read about my experience ordering the merchandise here.
The Summer Breeze merchandise consists of 8 items. I had planned to get all 8, however Everline messed up my order and they have yet to resolve the issue, so unfortunately I don't have the snapback. Here are the remaining 7 items:
- Fan (1 version per member)
- Ice Tumbler & Sticker Set
- Photobook
- T-Shirt
- Poster Set
- Nessring
- Tincase & Photocard Set
I'll split this post into 2, with this post focusing on those above in bold. I'm splitting it so that this post is focusing on goods of the members while the next post will be focusing on more practical goods. I blogged about the non-bold items here.
Fan
The fan comes in a clear plastic sleeve with the product sticker and holographic Woollim authentication sticker on top. The fan has the same group image on all 10 versions. Unfortunately the group image and text on this side are a bit blurry.
The backside has the individual member image. When purchasing, you select which member to purchase however at the time of preorder the image previews were blurry so it was fun to see how the images looked once I received them^^
The fan is HUGE! The diameter of the circle is 11.5", the handle is 5.5", and the thickness is about 0.125".
Here you can see the images have a glossy finish and in certain angles you can see the spine of the fan inside. The fan itself is very sturdy yet the plastic handle is quite flexible, so this does work very well as a fan.
I love the little details of this fan! The end of the handle has a glossy patent button with the original Golden Child logo on both sides of the handle.
I'm still working on organizing my room, but for now I have the Jaehyun fan displayed inside my tote, next to Jibeom from the 2017 Season's Greetings calendar^^ I'll have to figure out where to put the Jibeom fan...
Update from March 11, 2022: earlier this week I decided to put my Jibeom fan in front of my closet door (where Jaehyun was) and move Jaehyun to a tote bag hanging at my room door, but just today as I walked by my door Jaehyun took a thud...
My fan fell a few feet and the patent buttons at the end of the handle fell off.
Here is a closer look at these "buttons" which I now know are stickers. Luckily these are still super sticky so I was able to put them back on the handle with adding any extra adhesive. And thank goodness my fan is okay, I just need to find a super secure location to display my fans...
Photobook
The photobook comes in a color zip lock bag.The sticker with the product information and holographic Woollim seal is on the backside of the bag.
The photobook has a matte finish and there is no design or wording on the spine. This photobook is HUGE with dimensions 9.625" by 13.375" by
The front cover is cute, with a design like a tabbed folder with a group photo and concert logo on the front.
The back cover is simple with the concert logo in the upper right corner.On the Woollim Mall product page, it states that this photobook has 60 pages. However there are actually 70 pages containing photos.
This photobook contains both photoshoots, with the first section from the summery blue photoshoot. It begins with a group photo across 2 pages.
There are 4 consecutive pages per member, and 1 photo per page.Either the third or fourth page per member includes that member's printed autograph and message.
I am in love with this photoshoot! I love how fitting it is to summer and to Golden Child's original refreshing and energetic concept. I also love how it has Infinite's That Summer vibes. I can only imagine how Summer Breeze's VCRs would have been if the concert were held...
I also love just how large these photos are, with very little wasted space. And they do mix up the page layouts too, like with how the left photo has a frame.
Look at just how bright and glowing Tag is! He looks so carefree and cheery.And THIS is just so cute! How Jaehyun looks so adorably awkward, this is definitely one of my most favorite pictures of him.
And Donghyun leaning against the van, he looks so cool here! This photoshoot is so superior, I'm so happy all these photos are included in such a big photobook.
Next is another group photo on a 2-page spread.And another super adorable group photo from the blue shoot!
The remaining pages are from the white photoshoot, starting with this group photo.
There are 2 consecutive photos per member.
Each member has 2 types of photos out of 3: a head shot, bust shot, or half body shot.
The full body shots are pretty! They do look princely^^
Bomin and his summer mullet~
This photoshoot really isn't my style, but Jibeom does pull it off well!
And lastly are 2 more group photos, unfortunately with a lot of wasted space.
The tin case comes in a clear resealable bag.
The product information sticker and holographic Woollim seal are on the backside of the clear resealable bag. This sticker is unfortunately on top of the resealable part of the of the clear bag, so I had to use scissors to cut on the edge of the bag to avoid damaging the sticker.
The tin case is white with a beige matte sticker. This set comes with 30 photocards, which are packaged inside its own clear resealable bag.Here are the 30 photocards, and the order that they came in. I like how the 3 sets of photocards are of different closeups, with a bust shot, half body shot, and headshot. These photocards have a glossy finish.
The backsides of the cards all have this same design matching the lid of the tin case, and each card has the member's name printed at the bottom.
This poster set comes in a clear plastic tube with plastic caps that are sturdy but also conveniently easy to remove. This tube is 24" tall and 2.25" in diameter. There is a long sticker with a similar design to the lid of the tin case.
Here is the product information sticker (yes, with a typo) and holographic Woollim seal.Here is a closeup of the plastic cap. It even has a little lip so that you can easily remove it.
There are 11 posters, all from this white photoshoot. The first is a group image, followed by individual member images in age order from Daeyeol to Bomin. The group poster is horizontal with dimensions 22" by 15.5" while the individual member posters are oriented vertically.
Here is the group poster. The posters are all glossy and seem like promide posters.Here are Daeyeol, Y, Jangjun, and Tag.
Here are Seungmin, Jaehyun, and Jibeom.
And lastly, here are Donghyun, Joochan, and Bomin. Honestly this shoot isn't really my style, but I don't mind building my tube collection^^
Overall, I really like the collection if items from Summer Breeze! The blue photoshoot is my favorite because it reflects Golden Child's bright and refreshing image so well, and for that, the photobook is my favorite item here! I'll blog about the tumbler, ring, and t-shirt in an upcoming post.
