I've wanted this album for a long time, but it was 80,000 won ($54) without a photocard in Myeongdong Underground. I found it for 29,000 won ($20--shipping included) with a Jonghyun photocard. The only flaw is a small crack in the jewel case but that can be replaced.

Such beautiful illustrations. Smooth translation. Creepy story. I wanted more.
