Trust Me
Until this mini album I'd only really heard 2 of their project singles and their debut single and really liked them. As soon as You In Me was released I decided to check it out and loved that it was something different for them but still had that KARD flair. The mini album from start to finish is amazing, all their vocal skills really compliment each other and really work well together. I've had this album on repeat quite a lot and it's sat on top of my Cd payer in my living room as it's an album I listen to quite often. I love the pictures in the photobook all 4 members shine as individuals as well as a group. I didn't get any photocards in my album as I bought it without it's factory seal as well as without photocards. I would highly recommend not only this mini album for people to check out but also KARD themselves.
Check out the tracks below now.
지니까 (Because)
Trust Me (Kard Ver)
Into You
Trust Me (J.Seph & Jiwoo ver.)
Push & Pull
Trust Me (BM & Somin ver.)
You In Me
I love that KARD are a co-ed group, it's a first for me and I've been listening to K-pop now around 5/6 years and I love that all 4 members get to shine individually which isn't always easy in a group as there's often a member that's more popular than the others and tends to be pushed more into the limelight to make the group popular. I love watching KARD dance as I always think that they give them such amazing choreography that works for all 4 members, they can make the girls look sultry and sexy while making the guys still look masculine. I'd love to see from Hidden Kard's (KARD's fandom name) who their bias in the group is as I would think mine would be either BM or J.Seph but my bias is actually Somin and she has been since I first checked them out last year. KARD are already showing internationally that they have what it takes as since last year they've been on a Fan meet tour and visiting countries around the world including England. I'm excited to see what they comeback with next.
Are you a Hidden KARD?
Who is your bias in KARD?
