Unboxing my ‘Present:You’ album version
Got7 released their third full studio album Present:YOU this week on September 17. Although fans were able to pre-order the album online, I decided to wait for whatever reason is beyond me. I guess I wanted to see it in person and let my gut decide which one to pick since each version is random and you can’t tell which one you’ll receive.
Unfortunately, the K-Pop store that I visit on a regular basis was closed the day that the album was released. I’m not quite sure if they even had it the day of anyway. Since I had to work the rest of the week, I didn’t get the chance to go.
However, my lovely family went to the store for me a few days ago and my daughter thoughtfully chose a version for me. I was surprised when I opened my front door after returning from work to find a sealed up Present:YOU album in her hands waiting for me to unbox it.

When opened the wrapper, before I removed the outer slip, I had a feeling that it would be the group version. And of course, it was indeed the group version! I was so happy to have gotten this version since I love every single member, even though my bias is Jackson.
The outer slip was a mini poster of Mark. I received photo cards of Jinyoung, Yugyeom, JB, and Youngjae. I also received a large photo card of BamBam. The lyrics to all of the songs are included inside the booklet, surrounded by photos of the group as a whole and individual photos of all of the members. The thank you note was a group thank you. Unfortunately, I didn’t get anything of Jackson.
This album is my favorite thus far. I am in love with the solos! I have been playing the CD on repeat in my car, dissecting each song. I really like the fact that they all had a role in the development of each song. It makes it even more meaningful knowing that they put so much effort and energy into this album. You can definitely tell each member’s personality through their solos.
I definitely believe that this album is worth listening to and that these guys will go so much farther in the future! I’m excited to see what else they’ll bring and can’t wait for the next comeback!
