Card proves its presence at home and abroad with the 6th mini album 'ICKY'... Entered US Billboard charts, reversed on Spotify

'K-pop's representative mixed group' KARD successfully wrapped up their new album activities by coloring the world with 'ICKY'.

Cards (BM, J.Seph, Jeon So-min, Jeon Ji-woo) appeared on MBC M'Show on the 7th! After the stage of 'Champion', the activities of the 6th mini album 'ICKY' (moss) ended. 'ICKY' is an album filled with the pride and confidence of Card, who has constantly challenged to show a unique concept for each album.

At the same time as the comeback, KARD showed off its global presence. Starting with the British music magazine NME and other leading overseas media spotlighting KARD's comeback, their title song 'ICKY' was ranked 15th on the US Billboard World Digital Song Sales on June 10th. Thanks to the craze for the 'ICKY' challenge, which exceeded 50 million cumulative views only on TikTok, it is showing signs of going backwards, such as achieving 3 million streaming on Spotify.

In particular, Card, who appeared on a music show for the first time in about 11 months and met domestic fans, received a hot response with a strong and dynamic 'Wild Card' aspect. They showed off the potential of 'Trust and See Credit KARD' by presenting a 'live' stage that does not waver even in energetic choreography, including part composition and pair choreography that only mixed groups can show.

Card said, “Thanks to the love and support from Hidden Card (fandom name), I think I was able to get good grades. I will continue to work hard so that I can show you. Please continue to look forward to the upcoming world tour."

Meanwhile, KARD, who successfully completed their 6th mini album 'ICKY', will continue their 2023 world tour 'PLAYGROUND' in 17 cities in 8 countries around the world, starting in Monterrey, Mexico on July 6 (local time).
