How do I buy K-pop season's greetings from Korea?
The short answer: K-pop season's greetings (SG) — the year-end calendar, planner, photo and DVD sets agencies release each December–January — are sold through Korean stores that often don't ship overseas, and popular acts sell out within days. Overseas fans secure them by ordering from the Korean store through a buying service: KOSURAN buys your SG from the official store, checks it, and ships it worldwide with the rest of your haul.
What's inside a season's greetings set
- Desk and wall calendars, a dated planner or diary.
- Photo sets, postcards and photocards — often with store-specific POB cards.
- A making-film DVD/Blu-ray or digital code, mini posters, stickers.
SGs are premium, heavy boxes — which makes shipping and timing the two things to get right.
How to order SG from overseas
- Watch the announcement window. SGs open for preorder late in the year; store-specific POB lineups get posted as they drop.
- Order the store's listing — if it's in KOSURAN's K-pop catalog, order directly; otherwise paste the product URL and we'll quote it.
- We buy and receive at the Seoul hub on the release date, then consolidate with your other items into one tracked parcel — US customs prepaid, one weight-based shipping charge.
Timing and shipping tips
- Order early in the preorder window. Store POBs are while-supplies-last, and hot acts sell out before general sale.
- SG boxes are heavy — bundling one into a larger haul spreads the parcel cost instead of paying a full international fee for one box. See our shipping guide.
- Store POBs differ — the same SG can carry a different photocard depending on which store you order from; the store name is the key detail. Our POB & exclusives guide explains why.
Honest note on availability
No service can guarantee a POB once stock runs out, and sealed SG boxes stay sealed at our hub — random photocards stay random, nobody picks yours. Ordering early in the window is the real lever.
Common questions
Can I buy K-pop season's greetings if I'm not in Korea?
Yes — order the Korean store's SG through a buying service like KOSURAN. We purchase it, receive it at our Seoul hub on release, and ship it worldwide consolidated with your other items.
When should I preorder season's greetings?
As early in the preorder window as you can — usually opening late in the year. POBs are while-supplies-last and popular acts sell out before general sale.
Why is SG shipping so expensive?
SG sets are large and heavy, so a single box carries a full international shipping fee. Consolidating it into a bigger haul spreads that cost across more items.
Can I get a specific store's SG photocard?
You can choose which store to order from, which decides the POB — but random inclusions inside sealed sets stay random. We keep boxes sealed and can't pick your card.
