Kard members have been taking over the K-pop industry with their awesome music as well as their fun personalities! Kard is the only and the most famous Co-ed group that has been active in the K-pop industry. Not many K-pop companies give Co-ed groups a try since they are afraid that the members will start dating. But Kard is an example of why K-pop needs more Co-ed groups. The meaning behind the group’s name is because of the different cards that are assigned to each member (which we will talk about further in the article).
The group debuted with four members-two females and two males, and had previously released the single Oh NaNa on December 13. Unsurprisingly, their debut single had received massive popularity around the world, and soon enough, Billboard had also added Kard to the 10 Best New K-pop Groups in 2016. Kard officially debuted on July 19, 2017, with their first Extended play Hola Hola. Ever since then, the group has been receiving rapid success all around the globe. Talking about the relationships of the Kard members, fans especially love the sibling energy they exclude. Not to mention how funny and talented they are.
