BTS ARIRANG Album SET: Are All 7 Bonus Cards Included?

No. In Weverse Global’s original BTS ARIRANG pre-order offer, SET came with three randomly selected bonus photocards A from seven designs. It did not promise all seven. Read the album option and bonus offer separately.

If you are buying an album now, an old benefits image is a starting point for questions. Ask what your exact seller is including with your exact order. This guide explains that distinction using official offers, then gives you a short message to send before paying.

What did ARIRANG RANDOM and SET actually offer?

The official Weverse Global notice listed these extras for qualifying purchases:

Historical ARIRANG pre-order gifts on Weverse Global

Album option	Bonus photocards A	Bonus film-mount keyrings
RANDOM	1 from 7 designs, random	1 from 7 designs, random
SET	3 from 7 designs, random	3 from 7 designs, random

That offer ended on March 19, 2026, at 23:59 KST, and gifts could run out earlier. The notice also allowed the card and keyring to feature different members. Do not assume they match.

Specified combined bundles had a separate early-bird gift deadline: February 13, 2026, at 23:59 KST. The general pre-order deadline did not establish early-bird eligibility.

Count the promised bonus cards before treating SET as a complete collection.

Album contents, pre-order benefits and first-press extras

These labels answer different questions. A photocard can be part of the standard package, an extra tied to a seller’s campaign, or a limited item tied to an initial production batch.

Read each inclusion on its own terms

Label	Find this evidence
Album contents	The contents list for that exact edition
Pre-order benefit (POB)	The seller, qualifying option, dates and gift quantity
First-press extra	The production-batch condition and whether the seller still includes it

Why another album’s SET rules do not settle the question

For a contrasting example, the 2023 NewJeans Get Up notice listed five photocards in the Bunny Beach Bag album’s contents. Its Weverse Global RANDOM pre-order gift added one photocard selected from six designs. The corresponding SET offer explicitly provided a six-card bonus set.

That campaign ended on July 20, 2023, at 23:59 KST, and its extras were limited to qualifying Global purchases, subject to stock. The example shows why “photocards included” needs a second question: which cards, from which part of the offer?

The useful comparison is the written quantity and selection rule. One offer specified a complete six-card bonus set; the ARIRANG option above specified three random cards. The same shopping word can accompany different promises.

Does sealed mean every old first-press extra is inside?

A seal does not tell you which production batch or seller offer you are buying. On the YG SELECT BORN PINK Box Set listing, the ordinary contents include random photocards. The first-press sticker and poster are crossed out, with a notice that those two items are no longer included because the first-press supply has sold out.

For an older album, read the seller’s current written contents alongside the original announcement. If the two appear to disagree, ask the seller to identify the included items before you order.

A message that makes the seller’s promise clear

Send the exact listing or product name with this question:

For this exact album option, which standard inclusions and extra benefits will I receive? Please confirm the extra-card quantity, whether selection is random, whether the benefit is per album, per set or per order, and whether any first-press or pre-order items have run out.

Keep the reply with the order details. If you want a particular member, request confirmation of that exact card rather than relying on a picture of every possible design. For an opened or secondhand copy, ask for photographs of the actual included items.

Our buying suggestion: choose the album edition you want first, identify any extra worth paying for, then compare the exact offer and total delivered price. A larger order is useful only if it delivers something you actually want.
