KARD Announces Disbandment After First Album Release and Farewell World Tour
July 6, 2026
DSP Media confirms the group's first and only full-length album, Where To Now? (Part.2): NOWHERE, will drop on July 28, followed by a global tour.
A final world tour will span Asia and Europe, with shows in Tokyo and major European cities, before the group concludes its activities.
KARD, a four-member mixed-gender group, will disband after releasing their first full-length studio album and completing a final world tour that begins this year, capping nearly a decade of activity.
The four members agreed to conclude KARD's journey after careful discussion, signaling a heartfelt final chapter for Hidden KARD.
KARD built a loyal international fanbase and stood out as one of K-pop’s rare co-ed acts, known for energetic choreography, diverse styles, and charismatic performances.
Their signature tracks, including Oh NaNa, Don’t Recall, Hola Hola, Bomb Bomb, Dumb Litty, Gunshot, and ICKY, showcase a blend of pop, EDM, dancehall, hip-hop, and Latin influences.
Fans responded with emotional tributes on social media, honoring the group’s journey and impact, with some hoping for future reunions.
J.Seph recalled the co-ed concept in 2018, noting initial stigma but later commitment to proving a co-ed group can function cohesively.
After disbandment, members are expected to pursue solo careers in music and entertainment, while the group’s legacy continues with fans.
Individual paths are encouraged, with fans invited to celebrate nearly a decade of KARD and the group’s distinctive identity.
The upcoming album continues the Where To Now? storyline, following the mini-album Yellow Light, and is expected to carry messages from the group’s journey.
The agency thanks Hidden KARD fans for their support and asks for warm encouragement as members embark on new paths after the final promotion.
