KARD Announces Disbandment After 9 Years: Final Album & Tour

One of K-pop’s most iconic and prominent co-ed groups, KARD, has officially announced that they will be disbanding after nine successful years together. On July 6, 2026, their agency, DSP Media, released an official statement across social media channels, revealing that the group will wrap up their historic run following the release of their final studio album and a farewell world tour.

One Final Studio Album and a Farewell Tour

According to the agency’s official announcement, KARD will gift fans one last major project before officially going their separate ways. The group is locked in to drop their very first full-length studio album, Where To Now? (Part.2) : NOWHERE, on July 28, 2026, which will be immediately followed by a massive international grand finale tour.

DSP Media explained that the decision came after extensive, deep conversations with all four members:

“Following serious and careful discussions with the four members of KARD, we have mutually agreed to officially conclude the group’s journey after the promotions for this upcoming album and world tour. We want to express our deepest gratitude to Hidden KARD (their official fandom) for walking alongside the group for such a long time. We ask for your warm encouragement and support as the members embark on their new individual paths.”

A Pioneering 9-Year Journey in K-Pop

Composed of members BM, J.seph, Somin, and Jiwoo, KARD first stepped into the music industry in July 2017 after a wildly successful pre-debut project. In an industry where co-ed groups are incredibly rare, KARD safely established a massive, dedicated international footprint. Driven by their unique Moombahton and tropical house sound, they shook up the global music charts with massive hits like “Hola Hola,” “Don’t Recall,” “Rumor,” “You In Me,” and “ICKY.” Because the group has built such a rock-solid, irreplaceable bond over nearly a decade, the unexpected news sent waves of shock through the global K-pop community. DSP Media closed its statement by promising that the final era will stay true to the group’s signature colors: “We sincerely hope this new album and tour will serve as a beautiful, precious memory for all Hidden KARDs. Please continue to show your unchanging love and attention for this final promotion cycle, which will be filled with the most authentic KARD energy until the very end.”
