Co-Ed KPop Group KARD To Disband After First Album And World Tour

DSPmedia said the four-member co-ed group will end its run with a final album and tour after nine years together.

  • On Monday, July 6, DSP Media confirmed that K-pop group KARD will disband following their first full-length studio album and the conclusion of their ongoing world tour, ending nearly a decade of activity.
  • Debuting in 2017, the four-member mixed-gender group comprising BM, J.Seph, Somin, and Jiwoo stood apart in an industry dominated by single-gender acts, establishing a distinctive sound blending dance-pop and deep house influences.
  • DSP Media stated, "We have mutually agreed that this album and tour will mark the conclusion," a decision that surprised HIDDEN KARD, the group's fandom, given that the band is currently mid-tour.
  • The DRIFT World Tour began in Tokyo on July 4, with the final album NOWHERE releasing globally on July 28, allowing the group to complete their farewell activities across three continents.
  • While other co-ed groups like Triple Seven and AllDayProject continue, KARD's disbandment marks the end of an experimental era for K-pop, closing a career that built a devoted fanbase far outside Korea's typical markets.
