When autumn is over and the year is slowly but surely coming to an end, it’s that time again. Whether boy groups, girl groups or solo artists; they all unveil their new Season’s Greetings piece by piece, one right after another or even all at once!
If you can’t make sense of the term “Season’s Greetings”, you’re probably new to the K-Pop scene, because these special fan items come out every year from almost every K-Pop artist. It’s time you learned what they’re all about!
Season’s Greetings accompany us all year long, because above all they contain a calendar.
And of course every month is decorated with one or more photos of the artist in question, who keeps us company every single day. Usually a planner or diary is included as well, so even when we’re out and about we can take a little bit of our favourite idol with us.
Even those who don’t use planners get their money’s worth, because as a rule Season’s Greetings also include a thick photo book!
And that’s far from everything! Apart from the calendar, planner and photo book, Season’s Greetings vary a lot, but usually there are also a number of extras such as photo cards, stickers, bookmarks, keychains, buttons or even DVDs with behind-the-scenes material.
Season’s Greetings are probably the only fan item that all K-Pop artists release almost at the same time.
Towards the end of the year we’re almost swept away by a wave of Season’s Greetings, because there’s hardly a band that doesn’t release one. Whether your favourite idols are BTS, Blackpink, Twice, NCT or solo artists such as IU, you’ll surely find what you’re looking for. The fact that Season’s Greetings are sold shortly before the start of a new year naturally makes sense too, since fans want to use the calendars and planners from the very first day if possible!
So keep your eyes open when the year draws to a close, so that you can hold your Season’s Greetings in your hands on time.
The photo books and extras in particular are timeless and still look great in your collection years later!
Have you ever bought Season’s Greetings before, or are you starting this year?
