K-pop - Recent Purchases (Infinite, Infinite & MORE INFINITE! :P)

Hello hello~ I'm back with some new K-pop purchases :D

Lately, even though it's not like I haven't been shopping for other things and whatnot, I only feel like posting about K-pop stuff >_< I'm not sure if it's because I've lost interest in posting about clothes and nails and whatnot.. or if I'm just more interested in K-pop stuff now that I'm more invested in it.. Either way I'm not sure if I'll continue posting other stuff besides Korean related stuff on this blog D:

Actually I kind of want to just make a separate blog for Korean-related things.. but then that means I probably won't be posting on this blog anymore unless I have a huge urge to or I feel like I have something really important or exciting to post. Ah I don't know.. if I create another blog, all the Korean-related things I've posted on this blog will be a little "wasted" I feel.. since it won't be archived on the same site. :S I'm not sure what I want to do, but for now, I'll continue posting on this blog.

Anyhow, I finally met up with my friend Emily a while back, and she helped me purchase a couple things from the Yahoo Japan Auction site, because her sister is familiar enough with Japanese and she agreed to get me a few things x) So I ended up ordering Infinite's Be Mine (Solid Ver.), since it's now out of print and unavailable from YesAsia and Infinite's Star Collection Card #66 (Normal, Woohyun), since that was the only normal one I was missing.
She clearly told me that in the description for the Be Mine album, it said that there is no extra random photocard included in the album, but it comes with everything else, which I was fine with. As a side note, this album originally comes with 9 photocards, one of each member, one group photocard and an additional random photocard of one of the members. Surprisingly, when I went home and opened it, I found Sunggyu's extra random photocard in the album :O! But the album is missing the group photocard. So now I'm just looking for that one group photocard, and I will be content! :P
I'm really glad I ended up getting the random Sunggyu card, though ^__^ That card was on my wishlist anyhow.
So here are some pictures of that~


8 Photocards, 1 of each member and 1 additional Sunggyu (bottom right)

Now I have all three of these! :D I don't think I'm going to hunt down the normal version because I don't feel a huge need to get it.. ><


So on the same day, I decided to hop on over to KR, which is my local K-pop/K-merchandise store, since their annual back to school sale had just begun, and I ended up picking up a couple things there as well~


This necklace wasn't on sale, but it's a dogtag necklace from Infinite's "That Summer" concert in 2012 and it was leftover merchandise from then, I guess, that had been sitting in the store for a couple years. I decided just to buy it since I do think it's cute ^^ and it seemed no one else was interested in buying it.


Also from KR, I picked up one of Infinite's New Challenge posters, since it was on sale for $3. I didn't want to unroll it to take the picture, but here's a photo from the handy dandy internet :D


I didn't really like any of the New Challenge posters when they first came out, but then I sort of regretted not getting any of them. There are 3 in total and I don't really like the other two:

(I guess this one's pretty cute... but Gyu and Woohyun look weird... lol :s I much prefer the one I ended up buying :p)



Moving on~
I can't believe I waited SO long to buy this Koi Ni Ochiru Toki (aka KNOT) limited edition album. It's so freaking beautiful. I can't even describe it! Yes, the album outside and cover aren't the prettiest... but the photos inside, the concept and all the booklets are just so gorgeous!

I ended up buying this album from this girl off Tumblr. I was specifically looking for an album, already opened, containing Sunggyu's booklet. This album comes with a CD, a DVD, a lyric booklet with pictures of all the members and an additional booklet featuring one of the members, given randomly. So while just searching around the internet here and there, I discovered this girl's Tumblr and purchased it off her. It was definitely not cheap. I paid $75 for the album, and another $25 for the bonus Sunggyu post card (given for free depending on where you purchased it from when this album first went on sale, but now it's rare). So in total, this album and the postcard put me back $100+. Not to mention horrendous Canadian shipping prices... but I'm glad I have it now :P



Sunggyu's booklet gives me life ._. he's so adorable xD If you didn't know already, he's my favorite from Infinite and quite possibly my favorite person out of K-pop overall xD
Sunggyu is so adorable.. ;~; I can't deal~ haha

Alright, lastly, I received Woohyun's Season 2 photocard in the mail today~ I bought this off of a girl on a K-pop merchandise group on Facebook, Ji Hyun Woo.Ah I feel like I should do a post about those K-pop merchandise groups on Facebook and other places for buying and selling K-pop merchandise online sometime.. I'll do it later :P

Anyhow, now I finally have Sunggyu and Woohyun's photocards from Season 2! Two more down ^_^




That's it for now! I definitely have some more stuff coming in soon so stay tuned for some more K-pop posts :D!
