BM said in the "Dive Studios podcast" that KARD was basically a miracle. It was like a ditch effort from the company to debut something but they were ok if it flopped. Basically, he told the company CEO that he wanted to leave the company as a trainee (of maybe 5 years?) bc he didn't know if it was going anywhere and he wanted to do his own thing and figure it out. He'd pay back the trainee debt too--but the CEO said to give her 1 month to figure something out. AKA KARD was born lol. Hopefully they get a music show WIN one day. I really do like the CO-ED concept.

[@MC-ko2mx]

BM actually went through a really bad breakup, and just wanted to ditch everything - his ex, his traineeship, his life in Korea. Thank goodness the CEO asked him to be patient a while longer. And, like you said, KARD was born. One of the best things DSP ever did, in my opinion.

[@rainbowpride4766]

@@etherealchchan2752 she was in the group for 2 month. *2 month* even before debut she was with the company for 5-6 months. She was not even ment to debut with April. Do u think all the members just start sat around one day and started bulling hyunjoo from day 1? No. It happened much later. And bulling starts from 1 and others follow it slowly. What hyunjoo faced was really terrible but let's not involve people who were not even present. Hyunjoo has not said anything about somin. But she has mentioned other members. Y do u think? If a victim finally gets the courage to confront the abusers, she is going to expose everyone and not sheild anyone. Just like the recent Mina aoa case. She also mentioned other members but not the ones that left. Most of the time the people who leave are not involved and are on the victim side. Y would a leader leave if she was so comfortable? Bullies like being with their victims because they start power tripping. She was the leader, it would have been very easy for her to cover bullying and take part in it. She would not leave. It's not logical at all.

I hope they win that music show win soon, or I’ gonna sue DSP Media

[@missright9159]

Alas, wins are not determined by the company. I'd be ready to sue the entire industry for not taking more risks and making groups like these more of the norm. DSP could be doing more to help them, especially with the trouble they are having elsewhere with their groups. When BM said that their latest comeback was crucial because of company finances, that broke my heart because that just shouldn't be. The pandemic hit everyone hard, but if any group is pandemic-proof it's these guys. You have amazing potential on your hands. Get them on a Zoom call with their international fans and figure it out. But ultimately I've decided that k-pop companies are mostly trash, mismanage all of their talent, and if any groups are successful, it's because of the group themselves and despite their company. Here's hoping that KARD can persevere.

[@charred6683]

@@missright9159 The entire kpop industry is either a gamble if you're a small company or a free win based on superficial popularity if you're a big company. The stories of "good promotion and hard work leads to success" are SO RARE the only one I can think about is Mamamoo. Everybody else is just getting free fame without doing shit (Aespa) or working their ass off and eating dirt (Dreamcatcher, KARD, etc.) Most of this has very little to do with marketing or budget or talent, it's either a group with a free advantage from a big company's already established popularity, or something that people just magically happen to relate to at the moment (Weeekly's After School, the return of Brave Girls, etc.), was ROlling bad in the past and good today? No it's the same song, but because there's a social media push people jump on the band wagon. Apply the same logic to any group that starts off a step ahead because of reasons unrelated to their actual release and you get this weird storm of "undeserved" fame that they would NEVER HAVE if they were part of a company that didn't live rent free in knetz head.

There are idols whose music isn't popular in Korea, but are selling so many albums internationally. The world is a big place.

I think it's worth noting that 2 months before Kard officially debuted, another co-ed kpop group had debuted, Triple H. Which consisted of two members of Pentagon and Hyuna, who ofc is a kpop legend, so I can definitely see that being a case where the korean gp focussed more on Triple H as a coed group than Kard, given that all members were already known and it was from a much bigger company. So it makes sense why Kard had more trouble being known in Korea, they definitely had really stiff competition.
