Although this version includes everything instead of being sold at random, fans felt that the pricing was a bit high considering their previous deluxe versions were around the 40,000 KRW ($~29.41 USD) range. For the BSS Second Wind special album, it was priced at 59,400 KRW ($~43.67 USD).

The FML deluxe version album was priced at 37,100 KRW ($~27.28 USD).

Fans felt that the pricing had gone up way too much and even blamed HYBE for this drastic gap.

Netizen comments | theqoo Netizen comments | theqoo “This is really too much.” “There’s no solution with HYBE.” “They’re crossing the line…” “My mind went blank for second looking at the price.” “So does the photo book and archiving book have like 500 pages or something? How is this over 200,000 KRW?” “The prices are crazy.” “Ok not buying. Actually, can’t buy it…” “SEVENTEEN was already doing well…they should not have joined HYBE. I’m boycotting this.” “HYBE is really only about the money.” “This is totally something worth boycotting…HYBE…” “HYBE has gone crazy with money…” “But fans are going to buy it still…” “This is going overboard…”
