Going back to where I initially started, I'm here again with another K-POP physical album release, and a bit too late to some standard, but hey! At least I was able put it out before the year ends right? 

For this post, we have Monsta X's 5th Mini Album [The Code] where I'll be showing you both the PROTOCOL TERMINAL and De:CODE version.

It's been a year or two since my last K-POP concert. And yes, I do believe that I have matured gracefully in the fangirling department (Less obsession, cursing, and pettiness to more maturity, does-not-give-a-damn and does-not-even-spam-on-social-media-that-much-unless-needed-to... sort of). And yet here I was on the eve of my 25th birthday watching a KPOP concert... mature indeed.

I'm just gonna say it now, this mini album's packaging has got to be one of the prettiest I've ever seen. The moment my sister opened her package, I'm like in awe. It was that pretty. Like, seriously... it's pretty.

I am never really a fan of Japanese releases in KPOP, and I do believe that I'll never be. But then... this happened. 

Months had passed, and to this day, I still find myself wanting to go back. Seoul, you're definitely something else.
