Frequently asked questions
What is a repackage in K-pop?
A repackage is a re-release of an existing album with extra songs, a new title track, and fresh promotions, used to extend a comeback cycle.
Why do groups release repackages?
Repackages let a group keep promoting an album for longer with new content, a new music video, and often new packaging, rather than making a fully new album.
Do I have to buy the original album to get the repackage?
No. A repackage is sold separately as its own product, usually including the original tracks plus the new additions.
