MONSTA X – EP [The Phase] Album Guide: Versions & Contents

MONSTA X is returning with their new EP [The Phase], featuring multiple physical album versions designed for both music fans and K-pop collectors.

If you're deciding which version to purchase, the album is divided into three different types of releases: the REFINED / HYPER / PHASE versions, which are sold as a random version, and the separately available OFFSET and DIGIPACK versions.

Here's a complete guide to help MONBEBE understand the differences.

REFINED / HYPER / PHASE Ver. – Random

When purchasing the REFINED / HYPER / PHASE Ver. (Random), one of the three versions will be provided at random.

Each version has its own unique packaging and collectible inclusions.

REFINED Ver.

The REFINED Version features a premium package with a dust jacket and a 76-page photobook.

  • Out Box: 1ea
  • Dust Jacket: 1ea
  • Photobook: 76p
  • CD-R: 1ea
  • Photocard: Random (1 out of 5)
  • Unit Photocard: Random (1 out of 6)
  • Print Photo: Random (1 out of 5)
  • Sticker: Pre-Order Only (1ea)
  • Folded Poster: Pre-Order Only (1ea)

HYPER Ver.

The HYPER Version comes with a PET sleeve and an 84-page photobook, along with several collectible items.

  • PET Sleeve: 1ea
  • Photobook: 84p
  • CD-R: 1ea
  • Photocard: Random (1 out of 5)

OFFSET Ver. – Sold Separately

The OFFSET Ver. is sold separately and is not included in the random REFINED / HYPER / PHASE selection.

This version features an 88-page photobook and a random unit photocard.

Contents:

  • Photobook: 88p
  • CD-R: 1ea
  • Photocard: Random (1 out of 5)
  • Unit Photocard: Random (1 out of 4)
  • Sticker: Pre-Order Only (1ea)
  • Folded Poster: Pre-Order Only (1ea)

The OFFSET Version is a great choice for collectors who specifically want this edition rather than receiving one of the three random versions.

DIGIPACK Ver. – Sold Separately

The DIGIPACK Ver. is another separately available edition with a more compact format.

Contents:

  • Outcover: 1ea
  • Photobook: 16p
  • CD-R: 1ea
  • Photocard: Random (1 out of 5)
  • Mini Folded Poster: Random (1 out of 5)

Its compact design makes the DIGIPACK Version a convenient option for fans who prefer smaller physical albums while still collecting official MONSTA X merchandise.

Which Version Should You Choose?

Choose the Random Ver. if you:

  • Want to collect REFINED, HYPER, or PHASE
  • Enjoy the surprise of receiving a random album version
  • Want different photobook and concept designs
  • Are happy with any of the three versions

Choose the OFFSET Ver. if you:

  • Specifically want the OFFSET edition
  • Prefer a larger 88-page photobook
  • Want the different unit photocard set
  • Collect specific album versions

Choose the DIGIPACK Ver. if you:

  • Prefer compact K-pop albums
  • Want a smaller and more affordable format
  • Mainly collect photocards
  • Like collecting different physical editions

Don't Forget the Pre-Order Benefits

Several versions include items marked Pre-Order Only, including stickers, folded posters, and message cards.

These benefits are only available during the applicable pre-order period and may be subject to supplier availability.

Because pre-order benefits can be limited, we recommend checking the product listing carefully to see whether the POB or pre-order inclusion is included with your chosen version.
