Skool Luv Affair Special Addition

A limited edition repackage of the album, titled Skool Luv Affair Special Addition, was announced by Big Hit on May 7, 2014. Pre-orders began the same day and the album was released on May 14. [55] This 3-disc version contained an 18-track CD with two new songs, "Miss Right" and "I Like It (Slow Jam Remix)", [55] followed by the original 10-song tracklist and six additional instrumentals found only on the physical album, as well as two DVDs featuring footage from BTS' showcase held in February that year and making of content. [55] [56] The album debuted at number one on the Week 21 issue of the Gaon Album Chart, for the period dated May 11–17, [57] and went on to sell 14,852 cumulative copies, ending 2014 as the 98th best-selling album of the year. [27]

After its initial pressing sold out, the album remained out of print for six years. On September 7, 2020, Big Hit announced that the repackage would be reprinted and re-released on October 13 due to the overwhelming response from the band's fandom in a survey conducted by the label in August through Weverse—data collected indicated that the Special Addition album was the number one piece of out-of-stock merchandise fans wanted made available again. [58] [59] Pre-orders took place from September 8 until the previously announced October release date. [60] The album reentered Gaon's monthly album chart, ranking fourth for October, [61] and sold 670,500 copies by the end of the year, making it the tenth best-selling album of 2020. [53] In Japan, the album debuted at number three on the weekly Oricon Albums Chart issue post-dated October 26, with 37,689 copies sold for the period dated October 12–18. [62] It sold 40,829 copies by the end of October and entered the monthly Albums Chart at number 10. [63] The album ranked 89th on Oricon's annual year-end chart. [64] In the US, the reissue debuted at number 12 on the Billboard 200 chart issue dated October 31 with 28,000 equivalent album units sold. Of this number, 26,000 were pure copies, which landed the album at number four on the Top Album Sales chart. [65] "Boy in Luv", "Just One Day", and "Tomorrow" re-entered the World Digital Songs chart, for the same issue date, and achieved new peaks at numbers three, five, and seven respectively. [66]
