For most K-pop groups, a first full-length album marks a beginning. For KARD, it marks an ending. Nearly a decade after debuting in December 2016, the four-member coed group will release its first studio album, Where To Now? (Part.2): Nowhere, on Tuesday before embarking on its final world tour next month.

Following the tour, the members will part ways to pursue individual careers, bringing an end to one of K-pop's longest-running mixed-gender acts. The album arrives as both a farewell and a reflection on the group's accomplishments, with fans eagerly anticipating what lies ahead for each member.
