Description
I have questions with respect to:
1) Is the Line Friends BT21 Merch official or unofficial?
A: Majority of the BT21 merch is fan made (unofficial). There's a few official items for sale and the official items will say wording that's it's official in the product page. The more expensive items are official while the less expensive ones are fanmade. Unofficial BT21 will be much less than the price of the official version.
2) Are the photocards for sale official or fanmade?
A: Almost all the photocard sets for sale are fanmade or unofficial. If they are in the Under $15 collection, they are unofficial. If they are from a Lucky Draw or a album Pre-Order Benefit then they are 100% official and essentially come one by one unless you order a set via a Lucky Draw.
1) How soon will my item(s) will ship?
A: If we process the charges to your credit card, it will ship within 8 business days from the date of your order.

A: Yes!
4) What's the ETA to USA and Canada?
A: 3-5 weeks is the ETA. On occasions it may arrive faster and during busy shipping times it may turn into 6 weeks. for items such as Albums and Official Merchandise, it's already in the US and is received much faster. The shipping speed can be chosen at checkout depending on fast you want to receive it.

If you order has shipped, you (the buyer) will also be responsible for actual return shipping charges. Refunds will only be issued to the original credit card that you use when placing your order.

Red Velvet – Velvet Summer (Summer Mini Album) [HIGH TIDE Ver.]
ReVeluvs, the Summer Queens have returned, and they brought the tide in. 🌊 Velvet Summer is Red Velvet's summer mini album, out August 3, 2026. It's the full five-member group's first release together in about two years and two months, and their first summer special mini album in eight years, following The Red Summer (2017, home of "Red Flavor") and Summer Magic (2018, home of "Power Up"). The title track is "Surfin' Boy," with lyrics written by Joy. Musically it's languid bossa nova guitar over a laid-back reggae rhythm with a sleek house groove, the sonic equivalent of drifting on a dark ocean while looking extremely good about it.
A small public safety notice: when the title "Surfin' Boy" was revealed, fans immediately started predicting a tragic ending for him, because they remember what happened to the pizza delivery guy in "Peek-A-Boo." We can't confirm the Surfin' Boy's fate. We can confirm he should check the forecast.
THE HIGH TIDE VERSION 🌙
This is the night-sea half of the album's two-concept split, and it's the moodier one. The teal photobook cover frames all five members inside a holographic stained-glass border of waves, shells, and coral. Inside, they're sea sirens on moonlit rocks, complete with fin-shaped ears, glitter, and blue light bouncing off black water. It's the "Velvet" side of Red Velvet at full strength. The CD-R carries the same stained-glass sea artwork as a picture disc, and the six die-cut glitter stickers turn each member's siren silhouette into something you can put on a laptop.
THE PULL MATH 🎲
Two random pulls per copy: a photocard (1 of 5), which appears to feature handwritten notes from the members, and a postcard (1 of 5). Two pulls at 1-in-5 gives you about a 36% chance of your bias at least once per copy. With five members, every "wrong" pull is still Irene, Seulgi, Wendy, Joy, or Yeri, which is the kind of miss most collectors would gladly take.
HIGH TIDE vs BIG WAVE: the physical album comes in two concept versions, matching the two teaser concepts SM revealed. High Tide (this page) is the night-sea siren concept; Big Wave is its counterpart. Same five songs, different visuals. You choose your version by choosing your listing.
AND YES, IT COUNTS. 📊 Full album, 100% chart-eligible. The release went to No. 1 on iTunes charts in 15 regions and topped KuGou's digital album sales chart in its first days.
ABOUT RED VELVET: Red Velvet (레드벨벳) is the five-member girl group under SM Entertainment — Irene, Seulgi, Wendy, Joy, and Yeri — who debuted August 1, 2014. They're known for a dual identity: the bright, punchy "Red" side and the smooth, R&B-leaning "Velvet" side. They're also K-pop's reigning "Summer Queens," with seasonal hits like "Red Flavor," "Power Up," "Umpah Umpah," and "Queendom," plus a catalog including "Peek-A-Boo" and "Psycho." Velvet Summer, released August 3, 2026 alongside their 12th debut anniversary fan concert ("A Day in Red & Velvet," which sold out in presale and added a third date), is the group's first full-group release since Cosmic (June 2024). Their fandom: ReVeluv (레베럽).
Ships from Denver, Colorado, USA 🇺🇸 — the tide comes to you, no customs fees.

Q: What is the difference between ALL Velvet Summer versions? A: HIGH TIDE is the night-sea concept: a teal photobook cover with a holographic stained-glass frame and the members as sea sirens on moonlit rocks. BIG WAVE is the album's other concept version.
