Just a little over a month ago, we met four trainees of DSP Media.

The four – J.Seph, Somin, Jiwoo, and B.M – had been counting down the days until their long-awaited debut as K.A.R.D. For some, it’s been almost five years of vigorous training, for others, it signaled a brand new beginning. But in this competitive industry, co-ed group K.A.R.D had a long, uphill battle to break stereotypes.

When their song, “OHNANA,” first dropped in mid-December, the addictive melody was an instant hit on several online music sites. All of a sudden, these four were a roaring success, capturing headlines and attention.

This interview, filmed two days before their debut, was the quiet before the storm. Watch below:
