More from Rolling Stone
Released on May 17, NOW That’s What I Call K-Pop is the first NOW! album to include the K-Pop genre since the franchise started in the UK back in 1983 (the first U.S. compilation album was released in 1998).
The new album features 20 tracks from artists including Stray Kids, Seventeen, Twice, NCT 127, NCT Dream, Tomorrow x Together, Enhypen and Le Sserafim. It’s selling quickly too: as of this writing, the NOW! K-pop album is sold out on vinyl on both Walmart and Amazon (though both sites say it’s being restocked).
Like most K-pop releases, this album comes with bonus collectibles, including photocards of all 20 featured artists, plus additional group images in a collectible booklet or fold-out photo spread. Here’s where to buy NOW That’s What I Call K-Pop on CD and vinyl online.
