So in the past, all of LSF's compact versions except for Crazy (iirc) have been in biodegradable paper packaging rather than plastic. But for being a single album with only 2 songs, I can't fathom why HYBE/Source has created eight compact versions all in plastic jewel-cases. For some reason this irks me and feels really egregious.
I realize that it's probably a non-issue for 99% of people—they'd say I'm making a mountain out of a mole hill. And true, why am I complaining when I know I'll end up buying at least one version to support my fav group? But it just makes me feel kind of bad that we seem to be backtracking on sustainable practices (I know, why would the big company not just save on cheaper packaging options?) and wanted to quick vent about it.
P.S., please realize this is not a hate post of any kind and I'm just a little frustrated as a fan who wants to support the girls.

this is more than justifiable critique tbh. it’s not like the girls themselves are the ones calling the shots on albums and merch like this, so nobody’s blaming them (especially not in a fan subreddit like this one), and i agree with you that the amount of landfill generated from this scale of physical rollout is egregious. unfortunately a multibillion dollar corporation isn’t going to have anything in mind other than profits so this just seems to be par for the course
Absolutely valid thing to point out. Its a single album, why are there as many variants of albums as a normal ep or full album would have?
Parsley version? Plate version? The stress ball is creative but wth is Weird Garlic and Cheeky Neon Pepper this is gonna be the most camp concept imaginable 😭
