SHINee‘s Key is known for his unique solo album concepts. When you purchase one of his albums, you aren’t just getting remarkable music with a cute photocard; he delivers special collectibles that you’ve never seen before.
For instance, Bad Love had a retro sci-fi vibe, and one version of the album was designed like a collectible action figure packing.
Gasoline also went retro. VHS tapes inspired some versions, and others were reminiscent of floppy disks.
Good & Great was designed with busy corporate workers in mind. It consists of office supplies, employee IDs, etc.
Key’s latest album is no different.
Recently, Key has been teasing his third mini album Pleasure Shop. The teaser shows a cyborg version of Key serving himself at a futuristic bar.
One version of the album reflects this concept, as it consists of a cocktail glass with a mini CD.
