Recommendations for albums that are thematically consistent (concept albums?)

I just recently got into kpop but something I'm noticing is that (no shade) when concepts are discussed in kpop it really only goes as far as a theme in a photoshoot lol or the set of the music video. I also feel like maybe some groups use their lore/storylines as an explainer for their new albums but it doesnt really end up making sense. The albums tend to just end up being a bunch of different songs that could just as easily all be singles. Again no shade and also again i'm still a new kpop fan so I don't know much. That being said, can someone recommend me some kpop albums that do follow a theme from start to finish? It doesnt have to be as strict as you have to listen to this album in full and in order, and of course the definition of concept album changes depending on who you ask, but at the very least every song follows a similar theme and they all cohesively go together. (but if there does exist an album like the former that would be great)

Nobody asked but this was bothering ever since a group dropped photo teasers for their album and everyone got excited by the theme of the photoshoot and started thinkingn of all these ideas and then the album dropped and it was completely unrelated to the theme of the photos lolol and this has happened so many times with many groups at this point im like just drop the single lol

edit, reading this over please excuse my bad english and how snarky this sounds i enjoy kpop just thought itd be cool to see if something exists out there
