Albums
All mini albums, full albums and compilations. I want to keep this updated with live links so if any are sold out, please comment and let me know.
The album that started it all! For album collectors, this is a must have for the collection.
2 COOL 4 SKOOL
This album has some of my favourite PCS ever! Baby bangtan is so so cute.
O!RUL8,2?
An absolutely iconic album, it's got Spine Breaker, Just One Day and my personal favourite Tomorrow. Plus it's such a pretty album.
Skool Luv Affair
The special edition of Skool Luv Affair! This is on my wishlist because it comes with a dvd of the Skool Luv Affair showcase.
Skool Luv Affair - Special Addition
This one is already in my collection and I love it! This is my fave of the early era albums so I had to get this in my collection ASAP.
DARK & WILD
The album has a special place in my heart as it's the album that changed everything for bangtan! I really really want this one in my collection.
The Most Beautiful Moment in Life, Pt. 1
So fun fact this album is sometimes listed as The Mood for Love PT 2 so if you can't find it, search under this title. I also love that this album comes in pink too!
The Most Beautiful Moment in Life, PT.2
Wake Up is their first Japanese album! Japanese albums are usually rare to find in collections so if you are looking to gift an album, it is a good choice for the ARMY that has everything.
Wake Up
This two disc version has additional tracks and all the remixes. For any UK ARMY, this cd has the iconic Young Forever which we sang for BTS at Wembley.
The Most Beautiful Moment in Life: Young Forever
The second Japanese album! This one is another rare find. It's difficult to find offline and not many online stores have it.
Youth
The album that has the game changing Blood, Sweat and Tears! It comes in four connecting versions with smoke that links all of them.
Wings
The extended version of Wings with three additional tracks. It comes in pink and blue. Personally love the pink version!
You Never Walk Alone
The first album in the iconic Love Yourself series. This album has the gorgeous Serendipty and the game changing Dimple. For the vinyl collectors, this one also comes on vinyl.
LOVE YOURSELF: Her
Face Yourself is Japanese album of the LY era songs! The fan fave Crystal Snow is on this album. If you don't know it, search for a live performance on YT, you won't regret it.
Face Yourself
This album is a classic and my favourite in the Love Yourself series. This one comes in four versions with connecting covers. The packaging is so good it's Grammy nominated.
LOVE YOURSELF: TEAR
The last album in the Love Yourself series! It also comes in four versions too with the prettiest iridiscent cover.
LOVE YOURSELF: ANSWER
Persona is the first of the Map of The Soul two part series and one that is already in my collection. This is such a pretty pink but be warned, keep it out of direct sunlight. The colour will fade.
Map Of The Soul: PERSONA
Map of the Soul 7 was their last album pre-covid. It's a bittersweet album because it's the album that didn't get to tour. I have this one in my collection and the stickers are sooooo cute.
MAP OF THE SOUL: 7
The Japanese version of the MOTS series! This has fan favourites, Stay Gold and Your Eyes Tell. This is the missing piece in my MOTS collection and next on my shopping list.
Map Of The Soul 7: The Journey
BE is the first album fully produced by all the members! This comes in a deluxe and standard version. I was gifted the deluxe version and I love it. It comes with a pretty insert that you can use to display the album.
BE
The anthology album which has all the highlights from BTS's discography so far PLUS unreleased demos! This one is in my collection and it's absolutely worth it for the demos alone. It's like hearing all those songs for the first time.
Proof
We don't get many single CDs from bangtan so this one is such a treat. Both versions are the cutest! The CD has Butter and Permission to Dance on it.
BUTTER
The first and only live album from bangtan! This album takes you back to PTD on stage in all its glory. This album comes in two versions.
PERMISSION TO DANCE ON STAGE - LIVE
Solo Albums
The extended version of j-hope's Jack in the Box. This one comes with cute paper dolls that you can make yourself.
Jack in the Box (HOPE Edition)
The j-hope album that kicked off the solo era! This is a Weverse digital album so no cd BUT you do get some amazing stickers. There is also a limited edition vinyl but it is hard to find in stores, you will have better luck with resellers.
Jack In The Box (Weverse Albums ver.)
RM's first solo album! This one comes in a Weverse version and a vinyl. If you are a vinyle collector, the vinyl is so incredibly beautiful. Definetly worth it!
Indigo' Book Edition
This was released just before Jin enlisted and it's such a special single. You also get these cute mini stickers.
The Astronaut
D-DAY is the first physical album from Agust D aka SUGA. I have this one in my collection and the pcs are cinematic! This also comes in vinyl.
D-DAY
The album from Jimin that gave us the iconic Like Crazy. This came in two cd versions and a vinyl.
FACE
Layover is V's first album and everything about the album is a love letter to his doggo Yeontan (RIP). It comes in 3 CD versions and in vinyl too.
Layover
Golden is Jungkook's debut album and also the only full english album from any member. This comes in 3 versions, green, nacy and cream plus there's an amazing gold vinyl.
GOLDEN
Muse is Jimin's second solo album. It comes in two cd versions and you can also get it on vinyl too!
MUSE
RM's second solo album is my personal favourite from the solo era. The album visuals are incredible. There 3 cd versions and a vinyl!
Right Place, Wrong Person
HOTS VOL 1. is Hobi's second album and it's got the coolest magazine style album design. There are 2 cd versions and a vinyl.
HOPE ON THE STREET VOL.1
Happy is Jin's first solo album and was released post-enlistment. It's such a joyful listen. It comes in 3 cd versions and a vinyl.
Happy
Jin's second album came shortly after Happy and my favourite album from Jin. Background is beautiful and needs to be heard in CD quality.
