Seriously...they're calling this a ****ing album? WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH KOREA?! Not only are there only ten tracks, but one's an old song, two are intros and outros, and another is an instrumental. That's six full (new) songs for an album. SIX! This is why I hate putting any faith in Korea pulling through when it comes to albums. At least we know that in Japan when they say we're getting an album, it's actually an album and not a lame excuse for one like this. That being said, the track titles sound good and the cover is absolutely incredible, but I would be so much happier about this if they called it a mini and not an album. They've only released one PROPER Korean album to date, and that was their first. The second had 8 actual songs, which is not a full album if you ask me, and now this. Extremely disappointed, especially since they're my all-time favorite K-Pop group.

5 new songs, 나는.. (ING) was from the pretty girl mini!

I'm really disappointed with the tracklist too I'm surprised they didn't include Lupin and Jumping, and if we were to get old songs I'd rather they did Korean versions of JLC/GGS rather than the b-side + 나는..

Disappointed with the packaging too idk why their calling it a ~special edition~ when it's just a digipak and 32 page booklet?? that's the norm for k-pop releases!! such a downgrade from revolution

ok done being a debbie downer i can't wait to see the full STEP mv i luv everything should be out anytime now...

^Oh, I counted that as the acoustic one (and old), not one of the six full songs. Not that "Dear Kamilia" is new, but I guess it's new in Korean :\

So true! Just look at T-ARA's "Breaking Heart" repackage. Even the non-limited one had a ton of pages in its photobook.

Either way, I'm excited for the album, but I'm definitely not getting my hopes up since DSP already disappointed me yet again by dciding to release such a small "album". I just find it really funny how their only legit full albums are the one without Jiyoung and Hara and the one in Japanese. An 8 track album (Revolution) just doesn't count as a real album to me, but even that had more full, new songs than STEP will. But I'll stop being negative. They're my favorite K-Pop group and I really can't wait to hear the songs that are actually new.

that cover and promo pic are so cool! :Q____
and the tracklist is ok for me, remembering that they're having two albums in two countries I won't expect them making a ~*full*~ album like sj's mr simple..

YES! The cover is so cute, and I don't care that there are only 6 new songs, I'm just happy they are making a comeback. And Nicole with long hair =

This is so....amazing. The teaser is just EPIC. I hope the real song is like that and DSP don't pull a LA chA TA or Run Devil Run on us. But that's SM for ya

@4minute: Lolz. I like bad tumblr graphics so, FTW!

Wow. Not...at all what I was expecting. It sounds like it'll be really good; I'm just surprised since I was expecting something way different. The video looks really flashy and cool too
