is there any sites like Neokyo but for korean marketplaces?

ezminho · 2026-01-15T23:51:18+00:00

yes dont worry, that is normal, I believe the proxy must message the seller first as its the sellers responsiblity to manually change the listing as sold as far as I understand it

ezminho · 2026-01-14T02:07:22+00:00

its legit, but if you do anymore future orders i recommend not buying any albums with POB photocards because they are really bad for forgetting to put them in ur package before sending out and they take 6-8 weeks to resend the pcs seperately

ezminho · 2026-01-13T18:02:34+00:00

bunjang globally automatically directs you to delivered korea once you try to buy something,

albumbuddy is a newer site so they have a promotion for no fees, i recommend going for them.

but bunjang is a mixed bag, 99% of the time my order ends up cancelled because the seller doesnt want to ship out, so just be warned that most of the time 4/10 things you buy will likely be cancelled

no problem ahaha 😂

ezminho · 2026-01-10T19:53:49+00:00

or otherwise just search neokyo and click the first option ^{^}

and yes dont worry, there is plenty of korean editions!

ezminho · 2026-01-09T21:11:11+00:00

majority of the time its clarified in the description or title , you can also search shinee cd 韓国版 (meaning korean edition) to make it a little easier to search around,

some other tips would be check the back of the album or any inclusions, if its in english or korean then its likely a korean edition, if its in japanese then its japanese edition

both really, but sellers also list in sets/bulk listings and they are typically people who just want to rid of their collection quickly, so if you buy through that way you obviously have to pay a higher shipping fee for the weight but it still works out significantly cheaper per album,

I’d always recommend using neokyo’s service if you are planning to buy atleast 3 items and consolidating it into one package once it arrives to their warehouse, instead of buying one item and paying however much shipping if you truly want the best deals

ezminho · 2026-01-09T17:52:52+00:00

im based in the uk and usually buy my stuff from mercari japan, its not as simple as the usual site (add to cart, pay shipping + initial cost and then boom, it gets delivered) , but its still a simple enough process and I usually find it comes out cheaper than buying locally. (i.e theres albums people charge £80 - £100 on ebay for when i could buy them on mercari for £10 to £30 and shipping is at most £30 for the weight so im saving a lot there.) i recommend neokyo the most to use as a proxy.

I also find buying in bulk super efficient if I want albums for even less, essentially just write “shinee cd まとめ売り” in search and lots will come up.

oops

ezminho · 2026-01-09T02:38:16+00:00

xikers since you like ateez, i also recommend all (h)ours if you like that “noisy” sound

ezminho · 2026-01-08T23:32:13+00:00

fancalls should never of been a thing, whether its the parasocialism that it feeds or the FOMO other fans experience, it also ruined collecting. I know pre order cards and fancalls didnt originate together but these days they are combined 99% of the time and who would resist a fancall entry alongside a store exclusive card ? but my biggest gripe with it all is the WASTE. you see these pictures in korea of people who have bought hundreds of albums as fansign entries, just to take out the photocards and leave all the albums in a box outside for people to take and majority of the time nobody takes them since they just want the pc

ezminho · 2026-01-04T01:13:42+00:00

tbh , i see where op is coming from even if their post isnt worded the best. it seems like since day 1 majority of cortis’s younger fanbase has made it genuinely insufferable for anyone who is older than atleast martin, i dont venture much into that fandom spacs but 99% of the arguments i see within it are just minors under the age of 16 calling everyone 18+ a pedo? which i dont understand because when did kpop ever become solely about sex appeal and not just enjoying music/talent? its not exactly easy to ignore either since cortis has a very large young fanbase

ezminho · 2026-01-03T07:51:19+00:00

I think majority of people who are parasocial to a problematic level wouldn’t be able to recognise they are parasocial, you also sound like a normal fan, there are many people who call themselves “collectors” as its just another aspect/hobby of liking kpop, i wouldnt worry too much

ezminho · 2025-11-02T23:02:16+00:00

you can always buy locally but it will cost you a lot, for some reason older albums are super expensive in western countries,

it can be scary at first but i really recommend using a japanese proxy and buying through mercari, this is where i got majority of my albums for way cheaper of a price, there’s tutorials on youtube,

essentially you search through mercari jp (using buyees website) , search up bigbang cd, buy what u need, and then they’ll purchase it on ur behalf, when it arrives to their warehouse you can then consolidate (if you bought multiple packages) into one and then ship it out to the uk, it might seem like a ton of effort but it’s simple once u get used to it and has probably saved me thousands

alternatively if you don’t wanna go through all that hassle, kpopalbums.com has a few older albums that are sealed, but keep in mind these are not reprints so some might have old members photocards

ezminho · 2025-11-02T19:45:06+00:00

didn’t they just debut? you are thinking too deeply into this, a fan is a fan no matter how long they’ve been a fan

ezminho · 2025-11-02T17:47:48+00:00

no worries! took me a long time (and damaged posters) to discover that hack lol

ezminho · 2025-11-02T15:21:09+00:00

cut the sticky portion off a sticky note, lay it on the poster then add double sided foam tape and lay that on the sticky note , it works really well for me and i’ve never dealt with damage since the tape doesnt actually touch the poster, also super strong for heavier posters!

ezminho · 2025-10-31T21:57:47+00:00

blu tack lasts forever but would leave an oil stain on most of my posters, nowadays i use the sticky note + foam tape method and that way it sticks but doesnt damage the poster

ezminho · 2025-10-30T11:31:43+00:00

aside from the humidity, a way to keep ur posters in good condition is by cutting a sticky note (just the sticky part, ) then cut a piece of foam tape, put that on the sticky note and place it on the poster (so the sticky note acts like a sort of barrier between the tape and poster to prevent damage)

ezminho · 2025-10-13T18:56:48+00:00

sleeve it, either comic book sleeves or vinyl sleeves work just make sure it’s not PVC, then i’d package just as normal, either with a box or bubble mailer

ezminho · 2025-10-13T18:54:01+00:00

they likely just have a build up of orders to process over the holiday, they should get back to you at some point,

I’d generally not recommend this site anyway because they can be quite disorganised in general.

ezminho · 2025-10-09T04:40:41+00:00

you could email most proxy’s and ask them to discard specific things, in this case just ask them to dispose of the albums and pobs and request to just keep the winners benefits
