#1 TOP DEFINITION
A small trading card-sized photograph of a K-pop idol included randomly in album packages. Each album release contains multiple versions with different photocards, driving fans to purchase multiple copies. Photocard trading is a major community activity both online and at fan events.
Example
“I bought 8 copies of the album before I finally pulled Jimin's photocard. My bias is officially costing me a fortune.”
#2
The primary driver behind multiple-copy album purchases in K-pop. Labels release albums in several 'versions', each with different photocard sets, ensuring fans who want specific members' cards buy all versions.
Example
“The 4 versions of BLACKPINK's album mean 4 different photocard sets — fans call this 'the photocard trap'.”
