Many albums are already up for pre-orders in the official Target website.
Fans, in effect, are freaking out. This move will make K-Pop even more accessible to the Western market, a good thing especially for fans who currently go to great lengths to have merchandise shipped directly from Korea.
DO YALL UNDERSTAND HOW BIG THIS IS? THE ONLY KPOP ALBUMS AT TARGET ARE BTS AND SUPERM IVE NEVER SEEN ANOTHER GROUP THERE ATLEAST AT ALL MY LOCAL TARGETS. OH MY GOD IM FREAKING OUT https://t.co/10mdg2UbSX
