Last month, KARD took their first steps and debuted with ‘Hola Hola.’ KARD is made up of two male and two female members with BM, J.seph, Jeon Somin, and Jeon Jiwoo as a permanent co-ed group. With only 3 songs released as a project, they have received love from overseas and were chosen as ‘this year’s rookie.’ In this time, KARD has only appeared on music shows and radio but has not shown on any other broadcasts. In their debut showcase, J.seph showed off his witty way of talking. On YH’s Sketchbook, KARD’s different charms will be things to watch out for.

TenAsia K.A.R.D Interview (1) K.A.R.D’s charm?”Singing·Dancing·Members a triple threat”

“The secret weapon KARD is us.”

KARD has confidence. Their debut project single rose to US’ Main iTunes Chart and was recognized by Billboard. Recently in Korea’s music scene, the worries of a co-ed group debut’s which is rare have been washed away.

The base of KARD’s confidence is their unique presence from the start.

10: KARD, just like the team’s unique name, the member’s positions are also special.

BM: I’m BM the KARD’s, King. In-charge of the team’s dance and rap. I was born in LA and came here to participate in Korea’s SBS KPOP Star 5 years ago. Even though I was out of the program, now I’ve formed a relationship with my agency and even debuted.

J.Seph: (I’m) In-charge of being Ace. I was born and raised in Chungcheong-do. I moved to Seoul when I was 20. For the past 5 years, I’ve been dreaming and doing well. (Laughs)

Jeon Somin: (I’m) In-charge of being the Black Joker). In 2015 I debuted under the same company’s girl group, April. With that being said, I am not KARD’s leader. The four of us are helping each other while having the same roles as leaders.

Jeon Jiwoo: I’m Colour Joker Jiwoo. By singing, rapping, and dancing I play the role of adding more color to the group.

10. The male members wrote their stage names.

BM: BM is short for ‘Big Matthew’. Originally my name was Matthew but because I was tall I was called Big Matthew. But then for some reason, ‘Big Matthew’ sounds like a hamburger’s name… (all laughs)

J.Seph: My real name is Kim Taehyung. Also, I was registered as Kim Jin-Woong in the family registrar. Perhaps because of the meaning that my name was changed to Taehyung.

10: Jeon Somin you were the former member of APRIL. April’s was a girl group that had a concept of innocence.

Jeon Somin: When I came to KARD, seeing that the concept was different had me thinking that I won’t be able to bury it well, and was worried too. Fortunately, the older brothers and Jiwoo gave me lots of help and I was able to learn and adapt well.

10. Even before your official debut, the reaction is hot.

BM: It’s fascinating that many people are giving their attention to us. Especially the overseas fans, the love us a lot.

Jeon Jiwoo: I would be nice if we had more opportunities to meet the fans directly.

10: Last month’s second project single “Do not Recall” was on the iTunes main Song Chart. The first single, “Oh Na Na”, also saved a spot in the Worldwide iTunes charts. In addition, the US Billboard cited the card as ‘2017 Notable K-Pop Artist’.

Jeon Jiwoo: The fact that it was on the Main iTunes Chart, I couldn’t believe it.

Jeon Somin: We screamed “it’s the jackpot!!” amongst ourselves. (laughs)

Jeon Jiwoo: My brother is studying abroad but suddenly at dawn he sends me a picture. It was a screenshot of the iTunes Main Chart. My brother was like, “No way, I just saw KARD”. Our names being the same ranking as Rihanna and Adele, it was such a shock

10. It’s amazing that you’ve raised your name on Billboard and iTunes’ chart a record set before your official debut. In the future is there any record you’d like to see in the future?

J.Seph: Going up in the domestic music chart.

10: Is this the simple dream of a group that was on the World Chart? (Laughs)

J.Seph: I want to be loved in Korea as well as overseas.

10: Recently on Arirang TV “After School Club” you appeared. It was a first broadcast appearance.

J.Seph: The atmosphere wasn’t stiff so it was fun broadcasting.

Jeon Jiwoo: The fans had to match our personality during a given time and they really matched very well. I was surprised.

Jeon Somin: We have yet to have any close conversations with our fans so the fact that they know us well is very fascinating.

10: Once you officially debut, is there a program you’d like to go on?

Jeon Somin: KBS2 ‘Yooheuiyeol Sketchbook’ Is the one where I want to go on the most.

J.Seph: MBC ‘Idol Star Championship is where I want to appear”. I liked soccer so I wanted to play futsal but it seems there isn’t anymore.

Jeon Somin: J.seph oppa is very active.

Jeon Jiwoo: I love MBC ‘Infinite Challenge’, I imagined that later on, we will be able to have a joint music project. I’m very excited. I really am a fan.

10: Right now instead of being on broadcast, via SNS you communicate with the fans actively. Was there any response from the fans that was memorable?

Jeon Jiwoo: Recently we had an event on Twitter where we would reply to their mentions. Starting from supporting messages to questions, many mentions were sent. Even a question of who is closer to who was asked (laughs)

BM: I remember one fan. They had a complex on self-appearance and had a hard time and asked how can I like myself. So I recommended J.Cole’s Love Yours. I was happy and proud that I could listen to our fans worries.

10: What kind of charms of KARD can the fans go through?

BM: A free and natural appearance.

J.seph: I thought of a triple threat*. First of all the songs are good, the choreography is good, and the members aren’t too bad as well. (All laughs)

10: Then Let’s praise each members’ charms.

J.Seph: When Jiwoo first came it, I really thought like she was an Empress/Queen. (All laughs) Why are you laughing? I’m being sincere. Seriously I thought that. First of all, Jiwoo’s tone is very beautiful. She dances well and when she dances is also pretty. She’s also cute. A lovely little sister. As a singer, she is also just as charming as a person. Like a puppy, she’s also chic and full of color. A woman of all trade. (Jeon Somin: Isn’t this coming out as too constructed?) I’ve always thought that.

Jeon Jiwoo: BM Oppa is insightful. His rap and dancing are great of course and apart from that, his aura is heavy like a ‘King’. The big brother who holds the center of KARD. Strong and reliable.

BM: The tone of Somin’s voice is very pretty. There is that force to make you listen. When you listen live, everyone is doing well but I think the gaze is on Somin. The kind if feel from pop star Ariana Grande. A cool little sister.

Jeon Somin: J.Seph oppa likes people. Always taking care of you and if you’re by his side you’ll be laughing and will worry. Furthermore, when he raps he is really cool. When you rap in a low tone, it will be tight but it feels full. J.Seph and BM are both insightful. I’m always thankful.

10: When are the two of you, dependent on your older brothers?

Jeon Somin: When I am having a hard time, I will sometimes talk to them about it because it’s comfortable. It’s because we’ve known each other awhile it’s comfortable.

Jeon Jiwoo: Just by being next to them my will becomes strong. I still haven’t gone through anything difficult enough to tell (laughs) being a KARD member makes me so happy!

10: On the contrary, I think there will be times when the older brothers will be reliant on the sisters.

J.Seph: The two of them seem to like my mother. (all laughs)

BM: When we need it, they will nag at us. J.Seph hears it a lot.

J.Seph: For live practices, we need to use a mic to practice, but once I’m done, it’ll definitely be gone. Sometimes you can find it in the fridge or couch when that happens my sisters takes care of me a lot.

XSportsNews Interview with K.A.R.D

Lately, the sudden spotlight receiving four-members co-ed group KARD (K.A.R.D) is causing a stir in the entertainment (for singers) scene. It’s generally a girl group, boy group; so now having a mixed gender group is unusual and is attracting attention all over the world with little activities (from KARD).

 "I think there has been much higher attention on us as there lately haven’t been (any) well-formed co-ed groups. Furthermore, I think we have been receiving a hot reaction with our dancehall groove genre as it alone made them like it even more.“ - BM

 "Truthfully, when I first heard that I was going to be in a co-ed group, I was very embarrassed. I couldn’t picture it. Fortunately, I met my yeodongsaeng(younger sisters) and practiced hard with them, and during the training, it seemed to me that it was a perfect group.” -J.Seph

 "While we practiced and ate together, we formed a family-like relationship. Dating within the team is impossible. That will never happen. I can promise you that. Because I meet them every single day there isn’t any ulterior motive. We don’t need to right a note saying, ‘Let us not date each other,’ right?“ -Jeon Jiwoo

 KARD has been preparing for a full debut with a total of three projects. There have been no specific plans for broadcasting activities yet. KARD said, "There hasn’t been any impatience yet.” The plan is to prepare more thoroughly and then stand in front of the public.

 Jeon Somin has already debuted once with April. However due to her worry of her career, she withdrew from her position in 2015 and after a long absence, re-joined once again as a member of KARD. If it was a cute and girly image during her time in April, then now it reeks the scent of a sexy and intense woman.

 "It’s much better now. Truthfully, after I withdrew I was having a hard time but now that I think about it, had I not gone through that tough time, I don’t think I would be here right now. During my break, I felt like I matured. It got harder and I was shaken a lot but I had the thought of 'since I’ve already started this, let’s see it to the end,’ and did not give up. My parents are also very happy so I’m happy too" - Jeon Somin

 Long before their official debut, their song “Oh Nana” has already hit America’s Billboard and the new KPOP dark horse attention receiving KARD’s “Don’t Recall” has risen it’s spot in main iTunes Song Chart to even 50th place.

 "Our goal is a world tour. Our reaction to Brazil is the best but that’s because my father is from there. If I get a chance, later on, I definitely want to go visit there!“ -BM

 Meanwhile, KARD’s second single "Don’t Recall” is the extension song of “Oh Nana” which tells a story of a man and women struggling with their feelings after a passionate love ends. It is predicted that the genre of dancehall groove which has been receiving a hot reaction from the fans overseas recently is said to be the distinguished colour that is only unique to KARD, which will continue to be trendy in the future.
