And TaeYang's SOLAR came out recently too and the repackage was just released.

It's so fast in the K-Pop industry. Repackages are rare here in the US, and when they do come out it's at least 2-3 months or even longer.
Rihanna released a repackage of Good Girl Gone Bad, called Good Girl Gone Bad : Reloaded (you know, with Disturbia), and that was an entire year after the original.

But that's also because they don't nearly have as many singles per album as they do in the West in Korea. An album's life is much shorter.
