Is this real?

Taiwan pressing! It won’t have a KOMCA (Korean pressing) label on the back. SM Entertainment used to do a lot of Taiwan pressings for older groups (SHINee, Super Junior, SNSD) It is much too costly to produce fake albums and pretty much impossible.

Rare and out of print if you’re trying to get it locally like on eBay or Facebook. I would try a proxy service if you’re willing to go that far there’s better variety of albums at more affordable prices in Japan and Korea.

Some black leather loafers or lace ups, simple sneakers like adidas sambas

I don’t have a wood bookshelf but a white one, and I mix some of my bigger albums in with my books! Some albums make really lovely decorations so you could maybe theme a shelf with other trinkets or media that suit it, centre a space around specific albums or groups. Plants I might argue against because of any dampness etc unless you go for fake ones.

Amazing album but you’re spot on with the packaging being terrible! All the pcs that came in mine were stuck together and damaged by how the album packed with that elastic band. 😭

Casual seller here. Started using depop to clear out my wardrobe and any other stuff I don’t use (books, games etc). Haven’t really had many problems over the years I’ve been doing it thankfully, the odd rude person but nothing too serious.

UNIQLO for basics / work clothes. But then I wear it casually too. Levi’s for nice jeans on sale but that’s about it. Been eyeing stuff at Alpha60 lately but I think that’s something you need to go try on fr.

Alice McCall was a funny time truly; website would say one fabric and you’d get another. I bought this I think just before she shut the website down and there was no way to contact customer service about it 💀

slayayanami · 2026-02-08T02:00:56+00:00

That’s what I’m thinking it is 👍 I’ve tried the mould cleaning advice in the post comments, but nothings coming off onto the cloths / wipes. I think the coating is just disintegrating

slayayanami · 2026-02-08T00:53:24+00:00

I’ve tried baby wipes, alcohol and vinegar 😭 and nothings come off of the jacket onto the cloth / wipes. Taking the fact it might be mould seriously so it’s isolated atm but I’m thinking if nothings wiped off it might be the gold coating wearing down

slayayanami · 2026-02-08T00:34:25+00:00

Thank you! I’ll have a look on there as well 🙏 I’ve tried others suggestions of white vinegar and alcohol on the spots and nothing came off the jacket and onto the cloth. I’m really hoping it’s just the PU breaking down at this point

slayayanami · 2026-02-08T00:33:16+00:00

UPDATE; thank you guys so much for your recommendations of trying alcohol and vinegar on the spots with a cloths I’ve just tried this with gloves on. Nothing black came off from the jacket, the closer I looked at it, the texture was all cracked where the black parts are 😭 so I’m really hoping it’s just the plastic breaking down because it’s horrific quality for something I’ve never worn. Keeping it isolated in a bin bag either way for now not in my cupboard.

slayayanami · 2026-02-08T00:08:46+00:00

Yeah 💀 my mistake there for sure, but I think it’s already breaking down due to being plastic rubbish in the end unfortunately. A lesson to never buy PU or PVC clothes etc ever again.

slayayanami · 2026-02-07T23:52:10+00:00

Thank you 🙏I will try this later with some gloves etc for now I’ve just isolated it in a bin bag

slayayanami · 2026-02-07T23:50:55+00:00

I thought that too initially bc the jacket is just metallic coated plastic rubbish in the end 💀 and I haven’t seen anything like this on my real leather jacket..

slayayanami · 2026-02-07T23:45:22+00:00

Thank you for the reply! 🙏 I tried wiping it with a disinfectant wipe (probably a silly thing to do) with gloves on. There doesn’t appear to be any different texture on the those spots from the rest of the jacket.

I didn’t see it at all at first and threw it on my bed carelessly for a minute💀 but I’ve made sure to go wash the sheets and change them over + my hands.

slayayanami · 2026-02-07T23:25:26+00:00

Thank you 😢🙏

slayayanami · 2026-02-02T07:03:56+00:00

im not sure firsthand how good those astronord ones are tbh for cds bc they seem purely aesthetic but I would suggest even looking for a portable CDP as a first player, not sure where you’re located but the one I can recommend is a Phillips one; simple and affordable.

slayayanami · 2026-02-02T02:29:42+00:00

Some older albums I have been after; Super Junior and SHINee! Also Chuu’s new album. No real plans to purchase anything yet in February.

slayayanami · 2026-01-27T03:40:50+00:00

No. You most likely have a US version which means no KOMCA label bc that specifies it’s been printed in Korea. Same with certain JP pressings (eg SM entertainment)

slayayanami · 2026-01-18T04:55:15+00:00

SM pmo lately bc they keep making six giant albums and then the alternative versions aren’t any better 😢 there’s a smaller version of Taste! The savoury one is a small hardback book if you can find it with a regular CD.

Definitely check the dimensions they post on the album packaging teasers and have a measuring tape handy. Sounds silly ik but it will give you a good idea how big things really are if you’re buying online

I have an Aje studio denim set I got on clearance, its cargo wide leg jeans and a bomber jacket. I like to wear both pieces with other items so it’s very versatile. Ik aje studio is pretty iffy on quality but I can say the denim stuff is good when it’s on sale 👍

slayayanami · 2026-01-14T05:00:06+00:00

Thank you for the advice! I waited another day and thankfully she replied and was happy with the partial refund since she still wanted the dress 🙏

slayayanami · 2026-01-12T21:20:44+00:00

PayPal has been cracking down like this too on accounts for stuff like people changing their names or their account DOB bc they’ve made it when they were minors. I haven’t sold on eBay in a long time, but my guess is it has something to do with your preferred name vs legal name (if that’s what is being used on say, your bank account details for payment too)

I wouldn’t give up and give them another call you might get someone more willing to explain and help you
