Unboxing: BTS Global Official Fanclub ARMY Membership — Merch Box #13

I received my BTS Global Official Fanclub ARMY Membership Merch Box #13, the first box in the 2023 - 2024 membership period.

The BTS Global Official Fanclub added a Merch Pack Membership option in 2020, which includes four different merch boxes during the one-year membership period (e.g. one merch box per annual quarter) on top of the regular Membership perks. The price of the Merch Pack Membership is ₩175,000 ($150 USD) rather than the regular ₩25,000 ($23 USD). Shipping costs are not included, so the price can end up doubling (or more, depending on where you live) because Weverse Shop uses DHL (which also means there will be duties and taxes upon arrival). However, each merch box includes exclusive membership items that you cannot get anywhere else or at any other time, so you'll have to see if this is worth the value for yourself. For ARMY who are interested, the Merch Pack Membership can be purchased at any time through Weverse Shop.

The theme for Merch Box #13 is J-Hope's Jack in the Box album. Judging from both this box and Merch Box #12, the ARMY Membership Merch Boxes for the next two renewal periods will be focusing on the individual members by military enlistment order. Merch Box #13 is comprised of three main components: a wireless computer keyboard, a wireless mouse, and a mousepad. These items come in a turquoise box, while each of the components are black with turquoise accents.

The keyboard and mouse come as a set rather than independent components, which means that they share one USB connector — if one is in use, so is the other. Both the keyboard and mouse are wireless but not Bluetooth-enabled. The keyboard comes with both the Latin alphabet as well as Hangul, which are adjustable through computer settings, as well as a full number keypad.

Lastly, we have the obligatory photocard — of course, Merch Box #13 comes with J-Hope's — and a purple plastic photocard frame that looks like a book. On the back of this frame is the word, "We're." I assume, then, that each Merch Box going forward will include a photocard of the box's respective member in the same kind of photocard frame. Once all seven members' boxes are received, these frames will be a complete series of "books," and then we'll also get the complete message on the back of the frames.

As I've switched my keyboard and mouse to this set for a week already, I can tell you right now that this Merch Box is by far the most practical of all the ones I've received so far.
