KARD Lays Out Details of Forthcoming US Tour

The co-ed group will kick-off in La Mirada Theatre in Los Angeles on October 18, followed by a concert at Philadelphia's Theatre of Living Arts on October 20. Then, they will proceed to hold a show at Houston's Cullen Performance Hall on October 23 and in Chicago a couple of days after that.

Lastly, KARD will exhibit a dynamic stage performance at Atlanta's Buckhead Theatre on October 27.

The quartet - comprised of members BM, J.Seph, Jiwoo, and Somin - debuted in the summer of 2017 along with their six-track EP Hola-Hola. Their brand new concept as co-ed piqued a huge amount of attention and won the hearts of a plethora of stans.

KARD never failed to give off their talents with their previous projects, and they certainly did not disappoint upon releasing their mini-albums You And Me (2017) and Ride On The Wind (2018). Their latest comeback was the digital single Bomb Bomb, which was well-received as expected.

The quartet also won an accolade earlier this year, proving once and for all their relevance and influence to the general public and fans across the world. In June, KARD graced the Korea-China Management Awards, an annual gathering administered by the International Marketing Organization to acknowledge the achievements of different business industries.

KARD then took home the 2019 Asia Rising Star Award in the aforementioned ceremony. They expressed their gratitude on their official Twitter page, along with a clip of them flaunting the recognition they received.

"Today KARD won Asia Rising Star Award at the 2019 Korea-China Management Awards. We will work hard so that we become an even bigger star," the account stated.

In other stories, KARD's agency DSP Media released a statement in June this year against malicious commenters who malign their artists on social media.

Excerpts from the statement read:

"Until now, our company has considered the malicious comments made by netizens against our artists to be another form of interest and affection towards them. When fans deliberately crossed the line, we thought of it as a form of affection towards the artist and a power trip to try and get their attention. We have also absorbed the criticism targeted at us when our employees try to stop this unreasonable behavior.

But recently our artists have been attacked online through crude and vulgar language, slander, and accusations of incidents without any proof. We recognize the severity of the situation and have been collecting evidence for many months. We have hired a legal representative and are preparing to take legal action."

In the statement, the agency also asked for fans' help in reporting their artists' slanderers on the web and also provided an email address on where to submit complaints.
