KARD Disbandment Officially Announced After Final Album and World Tour

DSP Media has officially announced the KARD disbandment, confirming that the co-ed K-pop group will end team activities after its upcoming album release and world tour. The agency said on July 6, 2026, that KARD will release its first full-length album, ‘Where To Now? (Part.2) : NOWHERE,’ on July 28 before beginning a final world tour.¹

The announcement sets a defined closing schedule for the group rather than an immediate stop. DSP Media said the decision was reached after discussions with the four members, and that the album promotion and tour would mark the conclusion of KARD’s group journey.¹

DSP Media framed the decision as a mutual conclusion following talks with the members. In its official notice, the agency stated, “We have agreed to conclude KARD’s journey with this activity.”¹ The notice also asked fans to continue supporting the group’s final activities, saying the period would be filled “in the most KARD-like way until the end.”²

The announcement was carried by several Korean outlets on July 6, including Yonhap News Agency, which reported that the group would disband nine years after debut and end team activities after the new release and world tour.² Hankyung also reported that DSP Media informed fans of the decision through its official website and social media channels, while noting that a comeback scheduler for the first full-length album was revealed alongside the disbandment news.³

No separate final activity date beyond the album release and world tour has been provided in the available source material. The confirmed sequence is that KARD will first release the full-length album on July 28, then proceed with a world tour, after which group activities will end.¹

Final Album And Tour To Close Group Activities

The final album is titled ‘Where To Now? (Part.2) : NOWHERE.’ DSP Media described it as KARD’s first full-length album and confirmed the July 28 release date.¹ The source material does not provide a tracklist, tour cities, venues, ticketing details, or a final concert date.

Reports based on the agency statement consistently identify the album and world tour as the group’s last scheduled activities. Star Today, citing DSP Media’s full statement, reported that KARD will complete activities after the first full-length album and world tour.⁴ JoyNews24 similarly reported that the group will wrap up its journey after the July 28 album release and world tour, adding that the agency addressed the group’s fandom, HIDDEN KARD, in the announcement.⁵

The structure of the announcement leaves the group’s remaining schedule centered on two confirmed pillars: the album launch and the tour. That makes the disbandment a planned closing phase, with the group still set to carry out new music promotion before ending team activity. For readers following the timeline, July 28 is the next confirmed date in the process.¹

Four-Member Co-Ed Group Ending A Nine-Year Run

KARD is a four-member co-ed group consisting of J.Seph, BM, Jeon So Min, and Jeon Ji Woo, as summarized by Yonhap News Agency in its report on the announcement.² Star Today also identified the lineup as BM, Jeon So Min, Jeon Ji Woo, and J.Seph while reporting the agency’s position.⁴

The group debuted in December 2016 with the project single ‘Oh NaNa,’ according to Star Today and The Korea Times.⁴⁶ The Korea Times reported that KARD became known for releases including ‘Hola Hola’ and ‘Tell My Momma,’ while Star Today also referenced ‘Don’t Recall’ and ‘Rumor’ among the group’s past activity tracks.⁶⁴

KARD’s profile has often been tied to its co-ed format and overseas activity. JoyNews24 reported that the group gained popularity in overseas markets, including Brazil and North America, through Latin-influenced music and global touring.⁵ Hankyung also described the group as having drawn popularity in Latin America while reporting on the disbandment announcement.³

(Part.2) : NOWHERE’ and a world tour before the team formally closes its activities. With no further schedule details confirmed in the provided sources, the official status is that KARD is preparing its final album release for July 28 and its final tour phase before ending the group’s nine-year run.
