Kard (Korean: 카드, stylized as K.A.R.D or KARD) is a South Korean co-ed group formed by DSP Media. They are composed of members J.Seph, BM, Somin, and Jiwoo. They officially debuted on July 19, 2017, with their extended play Hola Hola.

History

Pre-debut

Somin was previously a member of DSP Media's Japan-based girl group Puretty, which disbanded two years after its debut in 2012.[1] She later joined Kara Project, where she competed to become a new member of KARA and finished in second place.[2] On August 24, 2015, she debuted as leader of DSP Media's girl group April,[3] but she decided to depart from the group on November 9.[4][5]

J.Seph trained for five years, and BM trained for four and a half years under DSP Media. The label originally planned to debut them in a hip-hop duo, but this was changed later on. Prior to his debut, BM was featured in Goo Ha-ra's song "La La La" from her 2015 debut EP Alohara (Can You Feel It?), and was also her dance partner for the music video and live performances of its lead single "Choco Chip Cookies".[6]

The last member of the group was Jiwoo, who had trained under FNC Entertainment for two years and moved to DSP Media in 2016, where she only trained for two months before debuting with Kard.[7]

2016–2017: Project singles

Performing on Oh Nana

On December 8, 2016, Kard, through their official channel, revealed that their first "hidden card" member was Heo Young-ji,[8] with all 4 members including hidden member Youngji making a live broadcast on the V-Live app.[9] On December 9, the music video teaser for their first project single titled "Oh NaNa" was released,[10] with the song being officially released on December 13, 2016. It was later revealed that the group planned to release three project singles before their official debut.

On January 19, 2017, Billboard selected Kard as one of the Top 5 K-Pop artists to watch in 2017.[11] Their follow-up project single "Don't Recall" was released on February 16, 2017, followed by its English version on March 1, 2017.

On April 21, 2017, LG Electronics selected the group as their global ambassador for the G6 smartphone. It was announced that all content for their final project single titled "Rumor", including its music videos, will be collaborated with LG Electronics G6.[12] "Rumor" was then released on April 24, 2017. After its release, the single charted at number 1 in 13 countries on iTunes' K-Pop charts and ranked high on the main iTunes charts in the United States, Southeast Asia, and Europe.[13] The group then held their first tour, 2017 The 1st Tour "Wild K.A.R.D" , in the United States between May to June 2017.[14][15][16][17]

2017–present: Debut and touring

On July 19, 2017, they released their debut EP Hola Hola. The six-track EP contained their previous project singles, as well as the title track "Hola Hola". They made their official televised performance on M Countdown on July 19. Their Wild Kard Tour was held in September 2017, with five European dates in London, Lisbon, Madrid, Milan, and Rotterdam, and five North American dates in Minneapolis; Washington, D.C.; New York City; Miami; and San Francisco.[18]

The group released their second EP, You & Me, on November 21, 2017 with the song "You In Me" serving as the title track.[19][20] You & Me debuted at number 8 on the Gaon Album Chart on the chart issue dated November 19-25, 2017,[21] and also debuted at number 4 on the US World albums Chart[22] and at number 17 on the US Heatseekers Albums chart,[23] achieving their new peak as a group on the latter chart.

Kard in 2019

The female members of the group, Somin and Jiwoo, were featured in a special version of the song "Lo Siento", the lead single of Super Junior's album Replay (a repackaged album of their eighth Korean studio album Play). This version is included inside the digital version of the album, with the album being released on April 12, 2018. Somin and Jiwoo joined Super Junior to perform the song on various Korean music programs. Kard then held an Asia-wide tour spanning four countries: Singapore, Taiwan, Hong Kong and the Philippines.[24] Kard also performed at the South By Southwest (SXSW) 2018.[25] It was then announced that they were only K pop group on the "2018 Year Expectation Team' selected by FUSE TV, which selected 16 teams expected to be participating in the SXSW music festival in 2018, the largest music market in the United States.

On April 14, 2018, the group met local fans through their 2018 Wild Kard Tour in the Kasablanka Hall in Jakarta, Indonesia. Two meetings were then held in Australia in the city of Melbourne on April 26 and Sydney on the 29th.[26] On July 25, 2018, they made their comeback with their third EP, Ride On the Wind.[27] The EP debuted and peaked at number 7 on the Gaon Album Chart for the week ending July 28, 2018.[28] The EP also debuted and peaked at number 8 on the Billboard World Albums chart.[29] They group's comeback was televised and promoted through M Countdown on July 26, 2018.

On August 19, 2019, they held their first solo concert after their debut in South Korea. On March 27, 2019, they made their comeback with their first digital single "Bomb Bomb."[30] A month later, on September 21, Kard made another comeback with their second digital single, "Dumb Litty". They were on the top 50 of digital sales according to Billboard.

On November 6, 2019 Kard appeared at the Young Hollywood studio in Los Angeles, talking about their comeback song "Dumb Litty", and playing the Mystery Box Challenge game.[31][32]

On February 12, 2020, Kard released their fourth EP, Red Moon.[33] The EP debuted and peaked at number 10 on the Gaon Album Chart for the week ending February 15, after reporting 1,453 copies sold, before reporting a total of 1,752 copies sold in its first two weeks. [34] Additionally, its eponymous title track reached a peak position of number 8 on the Billboard World Digital Song Sales Chart.[35]

On August 26, 2020, Kard released their first single album Way with Words and their title track "Gunshot".[36] BM wrote, composed, and arranged the title track, with the other members contributing to the album as well.[37] "Gunshot" reached a peak position of number 9 on the Billboard World Digital Song Sales Chart on September 12, 2020, and spent a total of three weeks on the said chart.[38]
