Tao's Photocard Accidentally Packged in "Devil" & "Lion Heart" Albums

[sayuridoll.livejournal.com]

Fans were in for a shock when some received photocards of Tao in their Super Junior and Girls’ Generation albums.

Many took to social media to express their confusion and surprise at the recent happenings. By either manufacturer error or as a strange play, fans have reported that their Devil and Lion Heart albums came with small photocards of Tao.

Netizens have mixed theories as to how and why this has happened. Although some credit the phenomenon to manufacturer or design error, others think that it is an odd and purposeful by SM Entertainment.

Meanwhile, Z.Tao recently released his solo music venture T.A.O and gained attention for regretting the words he said about Wu Yifan.

LMAO

these were my fave tao photocards tbh send me all of ur extras instead @SMTOWNGLOBAL

[scionofawhisper.livejournal.com]

lmao, amazing~
Can't help but think someone messed this up intentionally..

[initialc.livejournal.com]

Video or it didn't happen, right? Putting up photos is WAY too easy.

But maybe a piece of machinery was a Tao stan and held onto the cards and put them in months later. MAYBE!

[keika-love.livejournal.com]

imo the employee is a tao stan and wants to bless the people with his photocards. true mvp <3

[pineepie.livejournal.com]

"accidentally" ^^

[sra-interesante.livejournal.com]

it wasn't even the right former member lol
at least kibum or hangeng or jessica cards

sm fail!!

i'm actually suspicious about this not happening to others fandoms buying (looooots of) albums right now .... like shawols

[bishieaddict.livejournal.com]

Lol. True.

[missingmisnomer.livejournal.com]

Wow

[glider.livejournal.com]

Since it was with albums titled "Devil" and "Lion Heart" it seems pretty deliberate IMO. Either SM is juvenile or the fans who took these pics are faking that they got him for laughs (doesn't Tao have quite a lot of antis??).

[seroquels.livejournal.com]

Devil I get, but Lion Heart? How would that be Tao related? If you don't mind explaining your thinking.

IM CRYING THIS IS SO GOOD

[seroquels.livejournal.com]

-cackles-

[belintuchiha.livejournal.com]

send them all to me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[lolylen.livejournal.com]

this is just way too funny

[torontok.livejournal.com]

They've been chosen.
Too bad SM's probably used all of Kris' leftover merch for target practice, I really wanted his Overdose photocard

[blowfishprince.livejournal.com]

i have been curious sine day one about kris' leftover merch considering that Kris flew away days before the concert I'm guessing SM has his concert merch somewhere in their storage room. and maybe some other tarps and all...cant SM do some cleaning and give them away..

[rennehollic.livejournal.com]

CONSPIRICY!

i love it
also, if SM messes up shipping so much, can they "accidentally" ship me Jongin and Lay instead of an album?

[atopworld.livejournal.com]

T B H (and D.O/Sehun too in my case).

[genesisgrey.livejournal.com]

Well, that's certainly one way to get them out of the old storage locker. At least they're not going to waste?

[happydirections.livejournal.com]

i'm so amused. is this even real? are you okay, sm?

[lynethia.livejournal.com]

A blessing in disguise

[nana-the-dwarf.livejournal.com]

I don't dislike Tao, but if I got a photocard from a different group member, I'd be pissed off as fuck.

I ordered the two versions, Lion Heart and You Think so I'm kinda worried even if the chance of getting them are minimal.

[dbsk-2pm.livejournal.com]

I totally get what you mean. I got Devil and I was so nervous, but I have a Ryeowook photocard soo...it's fine.
I'm a fan of both SJ and EXO, but I'd still be a bit mad. ELFs hate EXO/EXO-Ls quite a lot, so this was like fuel to their dislike.

[parkjsun.livejournal.com]

Do people think SM packages these themselves? The physical copies are almost 100% outsourced to and packaged in a country with cheap labour. It's probably just a manufacturing error because the factory had to take out the Tao photocards from EXO's albums and they got mixed up and placed into SuJu and SNSD's photocard stockpile.

[kerplunk.livejournal.com]

I was just about to say this. I'm glad someone is smart enough to fucking understand the logistics of shipping/producing albums.

People can be so dense sometimes. Do you think there's a ward in SM's basement where they actually produce these albums? Do you really think some poor worker pulling a 12 hour shift, where they constantly wrap and package an album (with barely any breaks) has the time to shelve out a Tao photo card and villainously place them inside Devil and Lion Heart? do you think said worker would risk losing their job over some kid named Tao leaving his group? Do koreaboo's still think everyone in Asia lives and breathes K-pop? So many questions that probably won't be answered.

Peace out suckers.

[atopworld.livejournal.com]

This just keeps getting better and better. Like, the thought of ELFs and Sones opening up their albums, excited for their bias' card, and they get Tao's.

I think I'm gonna cry, because this cannot be greater, lmao.

[velvetpocket.livejournal.com]

THIS IS THE BEST I'm crying

[cookiedealer.livejournal.com]

they were blessed tbh
king zitao blessed them with his presence, sprouting like a beautiful flower out of cement
truly /inspiring/

[bomsnose.livejournal.com]

i love this. these sort of logistics fails that don't hurt anybody amuse me by default, but when it's prince of qingtao, it's even better.

[mad-nux.livejournal.com]

my devil albums are gonna arrive soon so if I get this fug guy's photocard im gonna be so fucking pissed. at least I can sell it though hmmm

[rm-casablancas.livejournal.com]

I hope you get it.
