Unboxing: BTS 2021 Muster Sowoozoo Digital Code Box Set

My BTS 2021 Muster Soowoozoo box set arrived this week! Sowoozoo or “소우주” is the Korean word for "Mikrokosmos," which is both a song from BTS' 2019 EP, Map of the Soul: Persona, as well as the theme of the 2021 Muster. BTS 2021 Muster Sowoozoo was a two-day pay-per-view online streaming event. They were untact concerts held in Seoul on June 13 and 14, 2021, in honour of their 8th anniversary. The Soowoozoo box set comes in three different types: DVD, Blu-ray, and Digital Code. The actual concert footage and making films are the same across all three types but are just presented in different formats. For the sake of not having to use an external drive, I decided on the Digital Code set, which is a new format that was introduced with Season’s Greetings 2022. The DVD set is $41.80 USD, and both the Blu-ray and Digital Code sets are $53.88 USD each (plus shipping) from Weverse Shop.

The BTS 2021 Muster Sowoozoo Digital Code box set is packaged in a holographic purple outbox with a clear plastic sleeve. It comes with the following contents: a 156-page photobook, a digital code card, a set of 7 member hologram postcards, a DIY photo stand, and a randomized member photo card. Because this is the Digital Code set, it does not come with a Digipak of discs like the DVD or Blu-ray sets. Instead, there is a QR code on a card that will lead you to a registration page when scanned. After you register your box set, it will lead you to the page for video streaming all of the concert footage and making films. As long as your Digital Code box set is registered, you can access the footage at any time from your Weverse account on your phone, tablet, or computer.

There are slight variances between the three set types, with the most obvious one being that the DVD and Blu-ray sets come with Digipaks of discs and the Digital Code set doesn't. Moreover, both the DVD and Digital Code sets come with a photo stand, but the Blu-ray set doesn't. Finally, the DVD and Digital Code sets come with the hologram postcard set, whereas the Blu-ray set comes with a different 4"x 6" photo set. Weirdly enough, the Blu-ray set and the Digital Code set are the same price, but the DVD set is cheaper. At the end of the day, the DVD set has the most value (it has the exact same contents as the Digital Code set but is $12 USD cheaper), but if you're like me and you don't have a television or you don't want to use an external drive on your computer, the Digital Code is the most convenient to use.
