aespa’s recent release of their new album “Armageddon” is capturing the attention of many K-pop fans. It’s not just the catchy songs and the intriguing choreography, but what has truly caught the public's attention is how their new album also comes with an actual CD player. This is the first time we’re seeing something like this, and many fans have been looking back at their own collection of K-Pop CDs to see what other unique albums they have.

1. Girls' Generation “The Boys”

Not only was the concept of this era stunning, giving off a Victorian royalty vibe, but the album itself was also spectacular. Packaged in an all-tin aluminum container, this album contained numerous goodies, including full-sized postcards featuring each member.

2. SHINee Key “GASOLINE”

Straight out of a retro 80s comic book, the packaging for this album is spot-on nostalgic. It's not just the outside; the physical album also includes a VHS tape and a floppy disk, which are rarely seen these days.

3. Red Velvet “Birthday”

One of the most adorable albums you’ll see on the shelves, it looks like little mini cakes! This fits perfectly with the title of the album. The details on the cakes, from the toppings to the sprinkles, make this album irresistibly charming.

4. NewJeans “Get Up”

Another adorable masterpiece, the girls are transformed into “Powerpuff Girl” renditions. The album comes with a mini beach bag that you can upcycle and design however you wish, adding the cherry on top.

5. f(x) “Pink Tape”

A literal VHS tape album, this was a clever and fun idea. It fits so well with the style that f(x) exuded at that time. You know it’s a great album when many people still remember its bright, vibrant pink design.

6. TXT “The Dream Chapter: Eternity”

This album looks like a blast from the past with its lock and key secret diary design. To get inside, you have to literally unlock it. It's cute and simple, and these little touches add a unique flair to the album.

7. G-Dragon “Heartbreaker”

When this was first released, the public went wild. Some found the packaging a bit creepy, while others loved its unique style and artistic mood. It comes in a tin container with a 3D printed face. Although the colors are simple black and white, the design, including a black tear running down the face, is quite unique.
