5. Rendez-Vous by Lim Hyunsik
Not only does this album cover have a cool space theme that matches the music video for the “Dear Love” music video, but it also comes in a plastic bag that makes it look almost like a ration pack, and includes a passport holder, ticket, and stamps!
6. LOVE or TAKE by PENTAGON
Not only does each album look like an old-fashioned manga on their own, but together they look like an entire series!
7. Lilac by IU
Each version of IU’s Lilac album came with a semi-transparent sleeve that’s different than the front album cover, giving them a cool multi-layered effect!
8. [+ +] by LOONA
While the album cover itself may look relatively simple to non-fans, the members are aligned specifically in a way that matches to their sub-units and lore!
9. The Fifth Season by OH MY GIRL
Many fans loved the watercolor-like art style of The Fifth Season‘s cover art, which makes the already soft and elegant aesthetic even more so.
10. Pink Tape by f(x)
Pink Tape was one of the first albums that got very creative and unique with its packaging, making the entire album look like an old-school VHS tape that suited the name!
11. Perfect Velvet by Red Velvet
There’s something eerie and haunting about the art style used for the album with the title track “Peek-A-Boo”, with a creepy retro aesthetic that matches the music video of the song.
12. The War: The Power Of Music by EXO
This EXO album had so much unique art and pieces included inside of it! The style is very comic book or even Star Wars in nature, including “character” cards of the members and even actual pages of comics!

Both versions of Suho’s debut solo album were beautifully created in a semi-realistic, semi-abstract style that perfectly fits the mood of the EP.

This is another Red Velvet album cover that many fans love, due to its faded pastel colors and simple yet elegant design.
17. Shangri-La by VIXX
VIXX aren’t known as concept kings for no reason, and the entirety of the “Shangri-La” era was praised for its beautiful traditional aesthetics and details, including the album itself!
18. Red by The Rose
The build of this album is unique in that the album itself works like a standing photo frame, and instead of including a photobook, it includes individual photocards that can be swapped in and out of the frame!
