According to the netizen, Fantasys had ordered their SF9 albums from Aladin, and as they are confused about the situation, they have taken to their own social media to voice out their concern.
One SF9 fan asked if there was anyone who had purchased NCT DREAM's albums but instead got SF9's. "I was wondering if there was anyone who had purchased NCT DREAM's albums but got SF9's albums instead. Not only were these albums different from what I had ordered, but I also got these 10 albums that I didn't order," said the SF9 fan.
Soon after, numerous SF9 fans have also spoken up about the mix-up on their social media. Many of which asked if any of NCT DREAM's fans, NCTzen, had a mix-up in their album orders as well - such as receiving SF9's "Turn Over" album.

Amid the mix-up, numerous fans have also expressed their frustration, especially during this time period. As SF9 had just recently made their comeback with "Turn Over," the first week is a crucial period to boost the group's album sales, which can heavily impact the success of their comeback, such as whether or not SF9 can win first place in various music shows - as one of the criteria to increase music show points comes from album sales.
Aladin has yet to release a statement regarding the mix-up.
Meanwhile, SF9 made a comeback with their title song "Tear Drop" back on July 5.
