Some artists release albums that are six songs (which we would call mini albums, but they call albums) and some release albums that have ten or more songs. Also, depending on the artists and apparently what they just happen to feel like doing at the time, the title tracks from previous singles and mini albums may or may not end up on the full album. Albums are generally the only ones that get repackaged, but not ALL artists repackage their albums. I think the album repackaging thing is mostly an SM thing, because I can't really think of any YG, JYP, etc. groups that have repackaged their albums. Of course, it's not ONLY SM artists, like how BEG, T-ara, Infinite and many others have repackaged their albums. But generally, it's not something that everyone does/something that happens every time an album is released.

This is the most accurate description I've seen to date
Yeah well if we're talking SM they do have a pattern when it come to releases instead of being totally random like some companies XD
It's like this: They rarely ever release a digital single. If it's a mini-album they might follow-up with another track in the album later but it won't get an MV. If it's a full album it gets a repackage with 1-4 different songs. For SNSD, SHINee, and f(x) they usually have 1-2 minis between full albums. TVXQ and Super Junior only release full albums. TRAX and The Grace are totally random at the moment
oh and btw this is something I found confusing at first, most Kpop artists don't release OST songs as singles like in JPop, they only appear on OST albums.
