SEVENTEEN's 17 IS RIGHT HERE's price revised
On May 7, SEVENTEEN BEST ALBUM ‘17 IS RIGHT HERE (Deluxe Ver.)' was announced and the price of the album was also revealed. This was met with backlash from fans who pointed out the highly-priced album.
PLEDIS Entertainment addressed the issue and stated that the album was initially conceived as a limited-edition release featuring but during the production process, the focus shifted towards making the album more accessible to a wider range of fans. This resulted in changes to both the album’s content and pricing, they said.
They apologized and added that due to an operational error, the price was incorrectly communicated to the retailers, resulting in the album’s pre-change price being announced on the sales pages.
They assured that the corrected lower prices would be applicable on the websites by 5:00 pm KST which is 1:30 pm IST. They also conveyed that fans who have already made the purchase will be contacted by the retailers to process refund and place a new order.
