Unboxing: BTS — "Butter" Single CD: Cream Version

on
Sunday, July 18, 2021
My BTS "Butter" Single CD Set arrived a few days ago! The set includes both versions of the single CD album, Peaches and Cream. Each version is available for purchase separately as well at all major music retailers, both online and physically. The set retails for ₩35,600 (approximately $40 CAD or $32 USD); each version is ₩17,800 on its own (approximately $20 CAD or $16 USD). You don't actually save any money by buying the set, but each version comes with its own unique concept photos, so you might want to get the set, anyway. I bought my set on Weverse Shop, so these are the prices that are officially set by BigHit. (Prices will vary depending on retailer and country due to import fees.) This post will be the unboxing for the Cream version of the "Butter" Single CD.

The BTS "Butter" Single CD comes in two versions: Peaches and Cream. Both versions of the BTS "Butter" Single CD feature two songs: "Butter" and "Permission to Dance." Both of these versions come in canvas out boxes, and feature the same physical contents: one photobook, two lyric cards (one for each song), one group instant photo, a photo stand, a randomized member folded message card, a randomized member photocard, a sheet of graphic stickers, and the CD. The Cream version is coloured in a bright yellow. Now, the main difference in the two versions, aside from the colour scheme, is actually in the concept photos.

So the first concept photoshoot for the Cream version is what I like to call the "world domination" concept. Because, you know, it looks like they're planning for world domination. (They don't really need to scheme for this, quite frankly. They've already dominated.) I'm not really sure what the actual concept is meant to be, but the outfits have a very modern take on punk-rock style and I AM LIVING FOR IT.

The second concept photoshoot for the Cream version is, obviously, BTS as criminals. (Frankly, the sexiest, most styled criminals I've ever seen. I mean, the heart-shaped handcuffs really drive the point home.) They've been arrested for stealing ARMYs' hearts or something, but also probably for looking too hot for their own good. Like, they absolutely have no business looking that good for MUGSHOTS. (Frankly, they're even hotter as delinquents, so they really should be arrested again.) I can only imagine the amount of fanfic this photoshoot will inspire...

Inside the box, there are also a bunch of extra goodies, as expected from a BTS album. (Yes, even a single CD. They make sure that you get what you pay for!) In the Cream version, you get a photo stand featuring the criminal concept, a randomized member folded message card featuring the beach concept in the Peaches version (I got J-Hope for this one, but sadly, I can't read Korean so I don't know what his message says), the requisite randomized member photocard (I got Kookie from the "world domination" concept), a group instant photo featuring the beach concept in the Peaches version (this instant photo is the same across both versions), two lyric cards (one each for "Butter" and "Permission to Dance"), a graphic sticker sheet to decorate the box (I've seen some beautiful artwork that ARMYs have done to the boxes, but I personally refuse to deface my albums for fear of the utter regret I would have in the future), the CD (you almost forget that this is the whole point of the album), and a full-size poster featuring the "criminal" concept (which is included in first press orders only).

Upon reflection, this might be why the single CD is sold online as "randomized." Because how the hell would you decide which one you want? Like, the absolute FOMO you would get...
