Carats who have been showing their support for SEVENTEEN since the start but couldn't afford to purchase their albums back then can finally get the chance to do so now and own the old albums.

But this initiative isn't solely for them, baby Carats who are also new to the fandom will rejoice as they can finally complete their SEVENTEEN album collection.

Filo Carats are specifically excited about the re-release of SEVENTEEN 2ND ALBUM 'TEEN, AGE' (GREEN Ver.) because it features SEVENTEEN's photos in Batangas. Twitter user and Carat @seokjinniall tweeted, “Teen, Age green album taken in Batangas is back.”
