The incident has prompted discussions about the importance of responsible waste management and the ethical considerations surrounding the disposal of merchandise, particularly items that hold sentimental value for fans.

Distressing news emerged in Japan as reports surfaced of a large number of SEVENTEEN's albums being discarded en masse on the streets. The sight of these albums, discarded and left to the elements, sparked concern among fans and raised questions about the circumstances surrounding their disposal.

The albums, which belong to the popular K-pop group SEVENTEEN, were found strewn across the streets in bulk quantities, leading to speculation about why they were discarded in such a manner. The sight of these albums, often cherished by fans as prized possessions, being treated so carelessly was disheartening for many.

While the exact reasons behind the disposal of the albums remain unclear, several theories have emerged regarding their fate. Some speculate that the albums may have been excess stock that was no longer needed, while others suggest that they may have been damaged or defective copies that were deemed unfit for sale.

The incident has prompted discussions about the importance of responsible waste management and the ethical considerations surrounding the disposal of merchandise, particularly items that hold sentimental value for fans. Many have expressed concern about the environmental impact of such large-scale waste and have called for greater accountability from companies and organisations involved in the production and distribution of merchandise.

For SEVENTEEN fans, known as Carats, the sight of the discarded albums was particularly distressing, as these albums hold special significance as mementos of their support for the group.

SEVENTEEN recently released their latest anthology album titled '17 Is Right Here'. Released to much anticipation and fanfare, the album quickly shattered first-day sales records, selling over 2 million copies. The album's debut was complemented by a visually stunning and futuristic music video for its title track, 'Maestro'.
