EVOL, the pawn made it to the end of the board. After I,GOD turned a chess rule into a whole storyline, XLOV's 3rd mini album i=! finishes the promotion: the weakest piece reaches the last square and becomes exactly what it wanted to be. It also comes with two title tracks, "HUSH" and "Tooth Gem Chiwawa", two unit tracks, and covers so heavily jeweled they look like they belong behind glass.

PICK YOUR SQUARE

• 🩷 i Ver. – Pastel pink and holographic, with a paw-print heart built out of pearls and rhinestones. Soft on the outside, still very much a predator.
• ❤️ ! Ver. – Crimson red with a black-crystal 愛 (love) stitched dead center. The exclamation point is the attitude.
• SET (2 CD) – Both versions, both covers, both posters, both photobooks.

Both versions carry the same lineup: a 48-page photobook, a metal coin (same design in both versions), an Odd Eye Card, 2 photocards, and a folded poster. Choosable, so you pick the cover, not the algorithm.

RANDOM PULL MATH (PER ALBUM)

• Photocards: 2 pulls from a pool of 8 (2 designs per member). Your odds of getting at least one card of your bias in a single copy: 1 − (15 ÷ 28) = about 46%. Any one specific design: 25%.
• Odd Eye Card: 1 from a pool of 4 = 1 in 4 for your bias.
• Apple Music POB selfie card: 1 from a pool of 8 (MV-shoot selfies) = 1 in 4 for your bias.
