K-pop Season's Greetings 2027: Dates, Contents, Where to Order

K-pop Season's Greetings 2027 pre-orders are already open or closed for many groups. SM Entertainment opened its 2027 lineup on October 13, 2026, with shipping set to begin December 24, and JYP ran pre-orders for ITZY, TWICE and Stray Kids in early October. Other agencies usually follow between late October and early December. Some official stores ship abroad; the rest sell only inside Korea.

This guide explains what a Season's Greetings set contains, the 2027 dates confirmed so far, how past years were timed, where Koreans order them, and how to get one from outside Korea.

What is a K-pop Season's Greetings?

A Season's Greetings is a boxed set an agency releases each year for the coming year. The name comes from holiday greetings, but in K-pop it has become a product category of its own. Fans call it 시그 (si-geu) for short.

The center of every set is a calendar for the new year. Around it, agencies add a planner or diary, a photobook and a stack of paper goods. A Season's Greetings is not an album, so it does not count toward album charts. People buy it for the photos, the planner and the collectible cards.

Two examples from official release notices show the range.

Component	SEVENTEEN 2024	TOMORROW X TOGETHER 2024
Desk calendar	Yes, 13 months	Yes
Scheduler or diary	184 pages	Yes
Photobook	80 pages	Yes
Digital code set	Yes (about 47 minutes of video)	Yes
Photocards	13 cards	10 cards
Postcards	13 cards	5 cards with envelope
Other paper goods	Sticker, message card, time card set, bookmark, holder	Folded poster, sticker set, photo frame card set, paper folder, paper mobile, memo pad

Smaller artists put out simpler sets. Jo Yuri's 2026 set, for example, was described as a desk calendar, diary, photobook, stickers, a mini calendar keyring, a two-cut photo, photocards, a bookmark and a Q&A booklet.

Some agencies sell the pieces separately. Weverse Shop's 2027 listings for SM artists show three formats: a Kit, a Wall Calendar, and a Set combining both. Exact contents vary by artist, so read the product page for the one you want.

When do 2027 Season's Greetings pre-orders open?

Earlier than many fans expect. Here is what was confirmed when we checked on October 15, 2026.

Agency / artist	2027 title	Pre-order window (KST)	Shipping or release
SM artists (TVXQ!, Super Junior, Girls' Generation, SHINee, EXO, Red Velvet, NCT 127, NCT DREAM, WayV, aespa, RIIZE, NCT WISH, Hearts2Hearts)	Varies by artist	From October 13, 3 p.m., until sold out (Weverse Shop)	Shipping begins December 24 (Weverse Shop)
ITZY (JYP)	BUBBLE RUSH	October 2, 2 p.m. to October 11, 11:59 p.m.	Not stated in the notice
TWICE (JYP)	Spotless	October 6, 2 p.m. to October 14, 11:59 p.m.	Not stated in the notice
Stray Kids (JYP), Korean edition	Paper Tale	October 6, 3 p.m. to October 14, 11:59 p.m.	Not stated

Two points about the table. First, the SM and JYP windows above are for official channels on those dates. Korean retailers may run their own windows and stock afterward. Second, by the time you read this, the JYP windows have closed. Late buyers usually rely on retailer stock after release or on resale.

What about HYBE and other agencies? We had not found official 2027 notices for most HYBE artists when we checked, although Aladin already listed a 2027 set for &TEAM (see the price table below). Past timing gives a guide:

Year	Artist	Pre-order start	Release
2024 set	TOMORROW X TOGETHER	November 28, 2023	December 18, 2023 (Weverse Shop Global and Korean retailers)
2024 set	SEVENTEEN	December 1, 2023	December 15, 2023 (Weverse Shop Global and Korean retailers)
2026 set	RIIZE (SM)	October 17, 2025	Sales ran to October 26, 2025
2026 set	Stray Kids (JYP)	October 23, 2025	Pre-orders ran to November 2, 2025
2026 set	Jo Yuri	November 7, 2025	Not stated in the report

So the pattern in recent years: SM and JYP open in October, many others in November, and some HYBE artists in late November or early December. For the 2026 sets, SM opened on October 17, 2025. For 2027, it opened four days earlier in the calendar, on October 13, 2026.

Watch your artist's official notice board and fan community. Announcements often appear only a few days before pre-orders open, and teaser images usually come first.

Where can you order Season's Greetings 2027?

Official global stores first. If your artist sells through Weverse Shop, check it before anything else. The 2027 SM listings on Weverse Shop say global shipping is available. Some coupons on those pages apply only to orders shipped within Korea, and some payment-method benefits apply only to Korean payment methods. See our Weverse Shop store page for how it works.

Note that regional Weverse Shops can release later. For SEVENTEEN's 2024 set, Weverse Shop Global released it December 15, 2023, while Weverse Shop US listed January 22, 2024. TXT's 2024 set showed the same gap.

Agency stores. SM runs SMTOWN &STORE (see our SMTOWN &STORE page). For aespa's 2027 set, SM's store account posted that buyers on SMTOWN &STORE got a free domestic shipping coupon, and that a Berriz x SMTOWN &STORE shop offered a 10% coupon on orders of ₩20,000 or more. Those are Korean-shop promotions.

Korean music retailers. JYP's notice for ITZY's 2027 set listed 14 sales channels:

• FANS SHOP
• Aladin
• Withmuu
• Apple Music (as named in the notice)
• Musicplant
• Ktown4u
• YES24
• Soundwave
• KPOP TOGETHER
• Everline
• Makestar
• MusicKorea
• Kpop FRIENDS
• Xiaomang (China)

For HYBE releases, past notices named Weverse Shop plus Korean retailers such as KakaoTalk Gift, Aladin, YES24 and Withmuu.

Why Korean retailers matter. Each retailer can attach its own pre-order benefit, usually an extra photocard that only buyers from that store receive. Fans often choose a store for its card. Our page on K-pop pre-order benefits explains how these work and why they sell out.

How much does a Season's Greetings cost in Korea?

Prices depend on the artist, the format and the store. A full kit costs more than a wall calendar alone, and a set with both costs the most. Weverse Shop's 2027 SM listings applied a 5% discount to the Set during pre-orders.

Here is what one Korean retailer, Aladin (알라딘), listed for 2027 sets when we checked on October 15, 2026. These are Aladin's own prices as of October 2026; other stores can differ.

Artist	2027 title	Aladin price	Aladin's listed dispatch date
Stray Kids	Paper Tale	₩45,000	December 11, 2026
TWICE	Spotless	₩45,000	December 11, 2026
ITZY	BUBBLE RUSH	₩45,000	December 11, 2026
DAY6	DAYS LIKE THIS	₩45,000	December 11, 2026
NMIXX	MIXX ON THE ROAD	₩45,000	December 11, 2026
NEXZ	meong meong	₩45,000	December 11, 2026
Xdinary Heroes	SPIKE! THE X	₩45,000	December 11, 2026
2PM	Three Buddies Bakery	₩45,000	December 11, 2026
D.O. (Doh Kyungsoo)	DOHS	₩45,000	December 14, 2026
&TEAM	Who Ate the Cake?	₩62,000	December 16, 2026
YOUNITE	TEAM YOUNITE: ON TRACK	₩48,000	December 31, 2026

The dispatch dates are when Aladin plans to send orders within Korea; international shipping comes after that. Check the product page for the exact version before you order, and check the store's own pre-order benefit, because the same box can come with different cards depending on where it was bought.

Shipping is a real share of the cost. A full Season's Greetings is a heavy, boxed paper product. SEVENTEEN's 2024 outer box measured 209 x 274 x 51 mm and held an 80-page photobook and a 184-page scheduler. Weight and box size both affect international shipping.

What are Season's Greetings 분철 splits?

You will see the word 분철 (bun-cheol) on Korean secondhand apps. It means a group set is split up and each member's items are sold separately. One buyer takes the calendar, another takes member A's photocards, and so on.

When we checked, Bunjang already had listings for 2027 Season's Greetings splits for groups including aespa and NCT 127. That is useful if you only want one member's cards. It also comes with risks:

• You are buying from an individual, often before the set even ships.
• The seller must receive the set and then send items on, which adds time.
• Disputes between individuals are harder to resolve than store orders.

If you go this route, read the listing closely and keep screenshots of what was promised.

Can you buy Season's Greetings from outside Korea?

Yes, in several ways. Choose the one that matches where your artist sells.

	Buy direct	You buy, we ship (package forwarding)	We buy for you (HaulKorea)
Weverse Shop global listing	Ships abroad directly	Not needed	Not needed if direct shipping works for you
Korean retailer with a store benefit	Korean account usually needed	Korean account and payment needed	We buy from the product link
Agency store (Korea-only shop)	Korean account and payment	Korean account and payment	We buy from the product link
Secondhand splits (분철)	Korean app account	Korean app account	We buy from the listing link
Combining several stores	Separate parcels	Usually possible	One box
Total known before paying	Item and store shipping	Shipping charged later	Full total, international shipping included

If the official global store ships to you and has the version you want, use it. A purchasing agent makes sense when the benefit you want is only at a Korean retailer, when the product is in a Korea-only shop, or when you want several things from different stores in one box. See purchasing agent vs package forwarding for the trade-offs.

How do you pre-order Season's Greetings with HaulKorea?

Timing matters most with pre-orders. Some sell out in hours, and benefits are often first come, first served.

1. Watch the announcement. Note the exact pre-order start time in KST.
2. Pick your store. Compare pre-order benefits across retailers. Copy the product link from the store you want.
3. Write the exact version. Kit, wall calendar or set. For splits, the member name.
4. Send us the link early, ideally before the window opens, with the version and quantity. Add anything else you want from Korea.
5. Check the total. We show you one price, international shipping included, before you pay. You pay once by PayPal.
6. We place the order when the store allows it, then wait for the release date.
7. We receive and inspect. We send photos, including the store benefit, before the box ships.
8. We ship. If the actual weight comes in under the estimate, we refund the difference. There is no second charge.

Limits to keep in mind: some stores cap quantity per account (Weverse Shop's 2027 EXO listing allows up to 15 kits, 8 wall calendars or 5 sets per product), benefits can run out before an order is processed, and a store can cancel orders under its own terms. We cannot promise a specific benefit until the order is confirmed.

For how pre-orders work in Korea in general, read our guide to Korean pre-orders.

Will you pay customs duty on Season's Greetings?

Possibly. HaulKorea ships DDU (delivered duty unpaid) to every country, including the US. Our total includes the item, Korean domestic shipping and international shipping. Any import duty, VAT or sales tax, and the carrier's customs clearance fee, are paid by the person receiving the parcel.

Weverse Shop's own notice warns about the same thing: several orders shipped to one address outside Korea can be treated under the recipient country's customs laws, and the buyer pays any tariffs.

United States. The US suspended duty-free de minimis treatment for low-value imports from all countries in 2025, and in June 2026 CBP published a rule extending the suspension to international mail and setting up a new postal entry process. In practice, assume a Season's Greetings shipped to the US may carry duty or fees on arrival. See US import duty on Korean orders for details.

Other countries. Most countries charge VAT or GST above a set value, and some charge it on all imports. Check your country's customs site before ordering several sets at once.

Is a Season's Greetings worth buying?

That depends on what you want.

Worth it if:

• You will use the calendar and planner for the year.
• You want the full-group photos and video content.
• You collect photocards, especially store-specific benefit cards.

Think twice if:

• You only want one member's cards. A split may be cheaper.
• You live where shipping a heavy box is expensive. Add the shipping and any import charges before deciding.
• Your artist's set ships late. A calendar that arrives in late January loses a month of use.

Remember that photocards in a Season's Greetings set are usually all members, while some Weverse Shop sets add one random card you cannot choose, as SM's 2027 EXO listing states.

What can go wrong with Season's Greetings pre-orders?

Sell-outs. Popular artists' sets and store benefits can run out fast. Have a second store in mind.

Release delays. Pre-order pages often say dates may change. Plan for a later arrival.

Wrong version. Kit, wall calendar and set look similar in thumbnails. Double-check before you pay.

Damaged corners. Boxed paper products dent in transit. Our inspection photos show the condition before the parcel leaves Korea.

Benefit mismatches. Benefits are usually tied to the specific store and window. An order placed after the window closes may not include the card.

Returns. Weverse Shop's terms say a refund on an order with a special gift requires returning the gift too. Returning from abroad is slow and costly, so order carefully. Our post on returns from Korean stores explains the rules.

FAQ

When do 2027 Season's Greetings come out?

SM artists' 2027 sets opened for pre-order on October 13, 2026, with Weverse Shop shipping from December 24, 2026. JYP's ITZY, TWICE and Stray Kids pre-orders ran in early to mid October. Other agencies usually announce between late October and early December.

What comes in a K-pop Season's Greetings?

Usually a desk or wall calendar, a diary or scheduler, a photobook and photocards, plus paper goods such as postcards, stickers and posters. The exact list varies by artist and format.

Does Weverse Shop ship Season's Greetings internationally?

Weverse Shop's 2027 listings for SM artists say global shipping is available. Some coupons and payment benefits on those pages apply only to Korean shipping or Korean payment methods.

Why buy from a Korean retailer instead of the official store?

Korean retailers often add their own pre-order benefit, typically a store-only photocard. Those stores usually need a Korean account and ship within Korea, so overseas fans use a purchasing agent or forwarder.

What does 분철 mean for Season's Greetings?

It means a group set is split and sold member by member, usually on secondhand apps such as Bunjang. It is cheaper if you only want one member, but you are dealing with an individual seller.

Are 2027 Season's Greetings photocards random?

Full sets usually include a card for every member. Some store versions add a random card; SM's 2027 Weverse Shop set listing says the extra card's member is random and cannot be chosen.

Will I pay import duty on a Season's Greetings?

You may. HaulKorea ships DDU, so any duty, tax and carrier clearance fee are paid by the recipient under local rules. In the US, the de minimis exemption is suspended.

Is it too late to order a 2027 Season's Greetings?

Not always. Some pre-orders run "until sold out," and Korean retailers may stock sets after release. Resale and splits are another option.

Ready to order your 2027 Season's Greetings?

Check whether the official global store ships to you first. If the version or benefit you want is only at a Korean store, send us the product link with the exact version before the pre-order window opens, and we will show you one total, international shipping included, before you pay.
