Fanplee POB Guide: What K-pop Fans in New Zealand Should Know

If you collect K-pop photocards, you may have come across Fanplee POB photocards while searching for exclusive album benefits.

While Fanplee is well known among K-pop collectors in Korea and overseas, the store and its exclusive photocards may be less familiar to K-pop fans in New Zealand.

So, what exactly is Fanplee, and why are Fanplee photocards popular among collectors?

What is Fanplee?

Fanplee is a K-pop online store that sells official K-pop albums, merchandise, and artist-related products.

One of the reasons collectors pay attention to Fanplee is its exclusive pre-order benefits (POBs) offered for selected album releases.

When an album has a Fanplee pre-order event, customers who purchase during the designated pre-order period may receive a Fanplee-exclusive photocard as a special benefit.

This means Fanplee photocards can become a separate collectible from the standard photocards included inside the album.

What Makes Fanplee POBs Special?

For K-pop collectors, one album can have multiple retailer benefits.

A single album release may have different POBs from different stores, and Fanplee can be one of those retailers.

The Fanplee POB may feature a different photo or concept from the standard album photocard, making it an attractive addition for collectors who want to collect more than just the album inclusions.

For example, collectors may choose to collect:

• Official in-album photocards
• Fanplee POB
• Other retailer POBs
• Lucky Draw photocards
• Fansign or event benefits

This is why collectors often look for the specific retailer name when buying photocards.

Why We’re Introducing Fanplee to K-pop Fans in New Zealand

In Korea and among international K-pop collectors, retailer-specific photocards are already a familiar part of collecting.

However, if you're a K-pop fan in New Zealand who is new to photocard collecting, you may not have heard of Fanplee before.

We want to make these collectibles easier to discover for New Zealand fans.

Instead of only collecting the standard album photocards, you can explore different official POBs and discover exclusive photocards that were originally available through specific retailers.

Fanplee POBs for Collectors

Fanplee POBs can be especially interesting if you are collecting a specific:

Group → Album → Era → Member → Retailer POB

For example, you might collect all the photocards of your bias from a particular album era and then add the Fanplee POB to your collection.

This makes each POB a small part of a much larger collection.

Each release can have its own unique Fanplee benefit, so the exact design and availability depend on the album and promotion.
