The unknown truth about “KARD” members——J.Seph
Who is J.seph?
Kim Tae Hyung was born on June 21, 1992 in Chungcheongbuk-do, Chungju, South Korea. He is a rapper and is known for being a member of the K-pop group KARD managed by DSP Media. He has been a member of the group since 2017 and has released multiple projects including albums with them.
J. Seph’s wealth
As of the beginning of 2020, J.Seph’s net worth is estimated to exceed US$400,000, which was obtained through a successful career in the music industry. He has won multiple awards with KARD and has toured around the world.
Many of their singles are among the best in Korea and internationally.
Early life and career start
When he was young, J.Seph developed a keen interest in the hip-hop genre and cultivated his rap ability over the years. When he became aware of the entertainment industry, he saw the possibility of becoming a rapper like many other K-pop artists in the past.
He started auditioning and eventually signed a contract with DSP Media; this entertainment company has been active since 1991 and is home to many artists including APRIL and Oh Jong Hyuk. Many pioneer K-pop groups such as KARA and SS501 are also located here.
Over the next five years, he received training in the company and became friends with the future band member BM. Their other band member Somin was a member of the girl group Puretty before her debut with the girl group April, but she left after a few months.
Seif
BM and J.Seph will make their debut as a hip-hop duo, but plans have changed. Their fourth member, Jiwoo, was an intern at FNC Entertainment before joining DSP. She adapted quickly, and within a few months was considered joining a new mixed group called KARD.
Rise to fame
At the end of 2016, KARD began to promote the group through trailers, which led to the release of several singles. Their first album is the song “Oh NaNa” by the lead singer Xu Yingzhi. They plan to release two more singles before their official debut.
By the beginning of next year, the group will be recognized as a famous K-pop artist on the billboard charts in the United States, and will take advantage of this by releasing the English version of the next single “Don’t Recall”. A few months later, they were appointed as spokespersons for LG G6 smartphones.
Then they produced their third single “Rumor”, which was their first single to promote a mobile phone in cooperation with LG. This single has won high rankings in various countries in Europe, Southeast Asia and the United States.
A few months later, they held their first American tour, called the first tour “Wild KARD”. After the tour, their first extended play (EP) “Hola Hola” was released, including their previous single and six new tracks, the main single being “Hola Hola”. They performed their first TV show in the show “M Countdown” and then toured Europe and the United States.
Recent projects
Later in 2017, KARD released their second EP, titled “You & Me”, and the title song “You In Me” was a bit confusing.
Their female members Jiwoo and Somin also appeared in Super Junior’s main single “Lo Siento”, which was part of their repackaged album “replay”. The two continued to perform various music programs with Super Junior. After that, KARD began touring Southeast Asia, visiting the Philippines, Taiwan, Singapore and Hong Kong. They were also selected to be part of the SXSW Music Festival in the United States, which is the only K-pop group selected to participate.
In 2018, they toured Indonesia and Australia and met fans while performing.

A few months later, they announced their return to new music production, released another EP “Ride on the Wind”, and once again appeared on “M Countdown”; after that they held their first solo concert in South Korea. In 2019, they released a new single called “Bomb Bomb”, followed by “Dumb Litty”, which helped them become one of the top 50 artists in digital sales that year. Their most recent appearance was in “Young Hollywood” during the US tour.
personal life
As we all know, J.Seph is single-he will not disclose any information about his relationship, which is common for many Korean artists. He admits to admiring Cha Ye-ryeon and Park Si-yeon and compares them to his ideal girls.
He is very comedy and likes to make his band laugh-he is described as the best eater and the best joke. He is also closely related to GFriend’s K-pop idol Sowon. He plans to conduct performing arts projects in the future.
He is a big fan of football, especially the player Cristiano Ronaldo.
