KARD previously toured across Oceania on their Playground Oceania Tour 2024 in March 2024. The group returned in 2023 after J.Seph's mandatory military service with the Korean Armed Forces and the Covid-19 pandemic, releasing their EP, Icky, on May 23, 2023 via DSP Media.
KARD spoke about the process behind the EP in an exclusive interview with Atwood Magazine on July 29, 2024, with group member BM stating:
"I think Icky was an interesting project. Icky is the first album where mostly our input went into the album. Normally in conservative K-Pop labels, they have the blueprint already laid out for us and you just have to follow it. But this time around, the label wanted our ideas to come into fruition."
BM continued:
"That doesn’t necessarily mean everything was us, obviously there was a collective effort between us and the company. But it was the first [project] that we just felt like it was so much of us put into the album. That’s why we’re so proud of it, and touring around with it, the energy just feels a little bit different."
KARD is best known for their debut EP, Hola Hola, which was released on July 19, 2017. The EP charted at the second spot on the Korean Album chart as well as at number 3 on the Billboard World Album charts, among other chart successes.
