The BM J.seph Jeon So-min Jeon Ji-woo (KARD), a rookie who has just made his debut but has been out of line for a while in the Music industry, has been recognized overseas for showing Music centered on edm, a global trend. Such a KARD has returned to its longtime Blady, which is eight months, with a determination to capture domestic fans through its activities.
KARD will release its third mini album 'RIDE ON THE WIND' through various online Music sites at 6 pm on the 25th. The members are releasing the album in eight months, so they have tried to improve the perfection as well as presenting new Musical directions.
Over the past eight months, KARD has been very busy, spurring preparations for its new album, digesting everything from Europe to Asia and Australia tours. I had a vacation, such as going on a family trip after confirming my comeback, but it was very short. I was confident that KARD, who started talking with me on the 18th, I was proud of the results that I had been worried and tried for a long time.
"I'm sorry to be nervous and late to meet my fans in eight months. I've prepared as hard as Blady was long. I want to show the album quickly. " (Jeon So-min)
"I think I was just thinking, 'How do you get the song?' And most of all, we have our first solo concert in this activity. " (Jeon Ji-woo)
The third mini album 'RIDE ON THE WIND' contains five songs with different colors. The title song 'Ride On The Wind' is an edm song that combines dance hall groove and House rhythm. It expresses the thrilling Feelings between men and women who start love for the first time.
"The title song 'Ride On The Wind' is an edm style song and has a House rhythm, so cool and refreshing Feelings are strong. We have great expectations as it's a good song to listen to in the summer." (BMI)
The members explained not only the title song but also all the songs they included and showed a special attachment. Jeon Ji-woo said, "All five songs are different styles. There are also a variety of types from hip-hop songs to edm on The Flock Beat, and it will be fun to listen to. "
"I especially like Tracks 4 'Knockin' On My Heaven's Door, because it's a hip-hop song based on The Flock beat. In fact, we have practiced hip-hop Performance since Idol Producer, so if we set up this song, I think it will be really good. And Tracks 'Dimelo' is a Latin pop genre of reggaeton rhythm and wrote lyrics together with Spanish in Korean. My mother, who knows how to play Spanish, helped me write a lot of lyrics." (BMI)
"Our album is "Appointment." I'm confident. But we only know this. So far. So, word of mouth. I hope everyone's ears are pleasant." (J.seph)
KARD said that "Dimelo," which consists of Spanish in the Latin pop genre, never recorded it conscious of overseas fans. "We go blind test when we choose the songs we have included, and it's a song that we all want to sing," said Jeon Ji-woo.
Jeon Ji-woo said, "We are planning a tour of South America in September, and I thought it would be nice if we went to a tour of South America. It is not a strategic song to target South American and overseas fans. "
The part that the members emphasized on this album was separate: "accessibility." KARD said that he tried to get a little more familiar with the public through this album. As the response is still better overseas than domestic, we plan to raise awareness in Korea as a starting point for this activity.
“I tried to make up songs that would be hovering and easy to follow in my head at once, so I thought I could get closer to the public more familiar. I'm going to get familiar with this song, with a more comfortable Image, because I don't think it's going to be long this time in Korea, and raising awareness in Korea is like our homework. I hope the public will take our appearance better as we have been worried a lot." (Jeon Ji-woo)
While struggling to get familiar with the public, KARD did not miss the trend.
"We want to do trendy Music and we're always studying, so we're showing Music based on House from the beginning. Of course, we want to try other genres, too, and I want to try all the strong hip-hop, R & B, ballads, and dances, and I am confident that I will digest well. But suddenly, I don't think it's good to make a change. I'm making a slow change. I think you might want to expect a KARD move." (Jeon So-min)
KARD is also famous for its fierce Performance and insistence on Love Live! The members laughed and laughed, saying, "It's actually too hard." Jeon So-min said, "In the end, experience is important. As the number of times on stage increases, I learn know-how. I have gained experience and have become good on stage, including Love Live! When I practice, I always have a lot of trouble, but I am holding on to evil. "
It is KARD, which has been in its first year of debut. KARD, which debuted in July last year through the third phase of the project, has achieved an unusually good Performance as a newcomer with both global hits such as 'Hola Hola' and 'You In Me' since its official debut. The members said they were confident as a team and personally as a singer through a year of activity.
"If you look back on your activities so far, it's Feelings who broke the quest one by one. Idol Producer dreamed of making his debut, wanted to be loved for his debut, wanted to tour abroad because he was loved, and went through a process of being proud and happy to achieve one by one. " (J.seph)
"I've clearly learned what artist I am and who I am." (BMI)
"I wasn't sure about the singer a year ago, but now I'm sure as a team, as a self. I think this is the most important part, and I think it will be the energy to work steadily in the future." (Jeon So-min)
"I did not debut with goals such as 'I will be loved big' or 'I will succeed'. We just wanted to have fun with each other, and I made my debut so far, but I think I'm doing well, and I think it's still more likely as it's the first anniversary of my debut. " (Jeon Ji-woo)
KARD, who has been active for the past year and has become confident about himself, has become more Musical. The members said, "In the future, we have a desire to make an album that reflects our opinions more. I hope that our ideas will be reflected more from lyrics and compositions as well as Performance. "
As the Musical greed has grown, there is room for it, and now there are contents that I want to show myself, and it also means that I want to actively communicate with my fans. I was able to get a glimpse of humor in the members' stories, and I could see what Super Junior, who saw KARD on "Super TV," said that he was coveted as an entertainer.
"I like outdoors, so I want to show you some content that rides bungee jumps and four-wheel drive motorcycles. I know inline tricks. Haha. I want to challenge acting through movies and plays, like Won Bin in the movie "Uncle," which leads the play alone as the main character. Haha" (J.seph)
"I want to have a hip-hop concert, a small concert with about 100 people, and I think I can have fun with all the audience. J.seph and I are rappers, so I was influenced by Show Me the Money' while preparing for the singer. In the past, I used to write a lot of Feelings lyrics, like "I Kill You." Show Me the Money? I don't think so. I'll do this with "I'm a good guy," but I'm not confident in this dissenter." (BMI)
"My brothers are a little greedy, and I think they'll do really well in the real entertainment program, and I'm not interested in acting yet, I'm supposed to be faithful to my main job." (Jeon Ji-woo)
"I think it would be fun to take a reality show again, and I've never thought about solo activities like acting or solo singers, and I'm still keen to say hello to the team." (Jeon So-min)
Singers' comeback rushes are continuing in the Music industry this summer. Like the formula "Girl Group in the summer," many girl groups are starting to come back to the Music sources such as crushes and puberty, and Hybrid groups here. But KARD "does not think it's competition; each has a different charm, so no confrontational composition is formed; even so, there is self-confidence. "The goal is to be the number one Music broadcasting company."
KARD, which captivated overseas fans at the same time as its debut, plans to be recognized in Korea through this activity. "It is a comeback in eight months. We waited and I'm really looking forward to this activity, and I hope this will be an opportunity to get a little closer to the public as well as fans. I would like to ask for your attention. "
