It’s a copy of the new Daft Punk album Random Access Memories, with a free collectible transport card adorned with the album cover.

Find yours at any Hot Tracks record stores around Seoul – I know of the ones at Gwanghamun and Gangnam. I saw copies of The 20/20 Experience by Justin Timberlake with their own Pop Cards as well.
