ATINYs, eight years. EIGHT. From TREASURE EP.1: All To Zero in October 2018 to three Billboard 200 No. 1s, and now the boys are marking their 8th anniversary with Blue Drift, a photobook that's all about water, flow and drifting off together. 🌊 The concept is split into three chapters, DRIFT, FLOW and DIVE. KQ Entertainment built a whole 11-day exhibition in Seoul around these photos, so this is clearly not a quick photo dump.
The cover gives away the mood: a deep teal-green book, the title in a warped, liquid-looking font, and two black-and-white photo windows. It's quieter and more editorial than the GOLDEN HOUR era, and made to be flipped through slowly rather than speed-run for photocards.
What makes it special
- 📖 8th anniversary commemorative photobook. It's a one-time anniversary release, not a regular comeback album.
- 🌊 Three-chapter concept: DRIFT → FLOW → DIVE.
- 📸 The same shoot behind KQ's BLUE DRIFT exhibition (October 1–11, 2026, News Museum Euljiro, Seoul). If you can't fly to Seoul, the book is your exhibition.
- ⚠️ Full specs (page count, dimensions and any inclusions inside the book) haven't been officially released yet. We'll update this page as soon as KQ publishes the spec sheet.
POB odds Every pre-order comes with 1 random Apple Music POB photocard out of 8 designs, which is one card per member. So:
- 8 designs, 8 members, 1 pull per copy
- Your chance of pulling your bias on a single copy is 1 in 8 (12.5%)
- With 2 copies, the chance of getting at least one bias card is 1 − (7/8)² ≈ 23.4%. With 3 copies it's about 33%. We're not judging, we're enabling. Bring your trading group.
Pre-order benefit: Apple Music POB photocard (1 random out of 8). POB details and retailer-exclusive designs will be updated when officially announced. Select your POB preference at checkout.
⚠️ This is a photobook, not a music album. It does not include a CD and does NOT count toward Hanteo, Circle, or Billboard charts.
