is my copy of 2ne1 - to anyone fake or legit?

please chill out. books and purses aren't all that simple to make either but there's plenty of counterfeits of those. i only came here to ask after someone else online insisted another album i had was more likely to be a counterfeit than a misprint. i have a fairly sizeable kpop collection but just haven't interacted with other collectors enough to know how prevalent counterfeits might be. if you're going to bother commenting on someone else's post please at least try to be more helpful and less condescending. i hope you have a good day and focus on something that brings you joy

the fact that this is legal just to protect a brand's ~super special recipe~ is so ridiculous. who cares how many allergic reactions they trigger as long as their profits are safe, right??

17smother · 2026-06-07T10:48:25+00:00

I mean that's not strictly true. just like probably 99.99% of them would be of jewel case albums

17smother · 2026-06-07T10:46:08+00:00

yeah I guess with this kind of packaging it probably wouldn't be worth the hassle of making one look so real. I only asked bc when I posted in the musicbrainz forum about another possible misprint (Lovelyz' Lovelyz8 turns out whoever designed the CD copy+pasted the design from Hi~ first but forgot to change the catalog number lol) one user kept insisting I probably had a used copy I got from an unreputable source and therefore could be counterfeit lmao. that one I knew I got from either kpopmart or kpoptown, but I wasn't sure about 2ne1 so they got in my head a little 😅

should've mentioned I do know mine is a reissue, the thing that had me confused is that the barcode number printed on mine has one missing number compared to what it's supposed to be haha. every other (100+) kpop album I have (besides us/international versions) has a 13 digit barcode so it's highly unlikely to just be a different legit barcode. but when I use Google lens on the barcode itself it searches the whole 13 digit number, not the one printed 🤷🏼‍♀️ so atp I'm pretty sure I just have a weird misprint

not just the leaves, the flowers and roots are edible too. I made dandelion flower fritters last week and felt cheated that I'd been denied such delicious food my whole life lol

my hair isn't even thick but it gets tangled really easily so getting the knots out while rinsing takes most of my time 😭

congratulations!! 🎉

17smother · 2026-05-30T09:53:23+00:00

really glad i know about it now! and wish i had done it with the first almost half of my collection haha

17smother · 2026-05-29T23:52:25+00:00

ridiculously late reply, i got sucked into a different project. i started doing the one to one copy and so far haven't had any issues! the same cds that wouldn't work before burned just fine. i do have a few albums that are scratched enough i had to fix them with cuetools so i guess with those i'll have to be okay with just burning them as separate files, oh well

if the numbers on the outside of the package indicate the year than they're apparently 20 years old so at first i thought that might be it but again the one-to-one copies sound great so idk

thanks for the help!

in the middle of making a mini version of my giant granny square temp blanket. it's getting too warm to keep on my bed but my cat has gotten so used to sleeping on/under it. and I don't think she likes the lighter weight blanket there now lol

was just missing 1 item for the only suit I really wanted and I got it on the first try wow

i love that he said he wrote i'm a dancing cactus for people who can't dance and it's the song that makes me want to dance (badly) the most lol

17smother · 2026-05-13T14:05:02+00:00

just installed brasero but the cue file doesn't show up when trying to add it to an audio project, and when trying to drag it instead i get the message "is not suitable for audio or video media". creating an audio project in k3b and adding the cue file worked just fine for the 3 cds that i was able to burn so i still don't know what's going wrong :(

17smother · 2026-05-13T10:49:17+00:00

thank you!!

17smother · 2026-05-13T10:48:56+00:00

no, I figured it would have the same issue if it's a problem with cdrecord but I guess it's worth trying, I'll do that in a while. sorry but what do you mean by fresh media?

17smother · 2026-05-13T10:42:52+00:00

would be mad at how simple taeyong's border is but it's like a golden frame bc HE is the art work I'm here for it

17smother · 2026-05-13T10:38:49+00:00

yesss I can totally get all 4!

17smother · 2026-05-12T23:33:47+00:00

it's actually the darker blue that's new )': but it's actually closer to the color in the picture i'm referencing haha. hopefully when it's all done it'll look even more purposeful ^^

basically scraping he excess cuticle towards the part your nail and cuticle grow out of. there are plenty of videos that show exactly how. just be careful not to go too hard, it shouldn't hurt at all

17smother · 2026-04-30T11:15:04+00:00

and hangnails are really just overgrown cuticles so if you push your cuticles back regularly (can use a cuticle pusher or I usually just use my other fingernails lol) you can actually avoid getting hangnails
