Geffen Records Faces Backlash Over BTS Jin’s Album Mix-Up

ARMYs are frustrated.

BTS Jin‘s solo debut album, Happy, is releasing on November 15.

Like most K-Pop albums, there are multiple versions of the physical album.

Additionally, depending on where you purchase the album, you can receive different additional photocards. For instance, Target, Walmart, Barnes & Noble, and Weverse Shop all include different extra photocards.

Yet, there’s been a mixup. Geffen Records released a statement via X (formerly Twitter), explaining that the ‘Happy (Ver. 3 Navigate) – Walmart Exclusive’ and ‘Happy (Ver. 3 Navigate) – Weverse US Exclusive’ were mixed up.

These tweets left ARMYs only more confused, though. Many are asking for clarification and have not received a response so far. It seems that while Walmart’s description was originally “1 Random Exclusive Photocard out of 2,” it’s now 1 out of 3.

ARMYs are also concerned about whether this will impact album sales at all. Hopefully not. Still, they’re alarmed by Geffen Records’ lack of promotion, as Jin’s album is releasing this weekend.
