“Girls kissing? Grinding?”
Koreaboo
KARD has sparked huge reactions after the release of their new music video.
KARD has been teasing their new release, and their comeback teaser sparked mixed reactions after international fans defended the group’s sexy photo.
Popular K-Pop Group’s “Sexy” Comeback Teaser Sparks Disgust Among Korean Netizens
On July 2, the group released the video for their song “Touch.”
As expected, the video was classic “KARD,” showcasing the members’ skills and visuals, but also a strong narrative for bold lyrics.
Netizens loved how carefree and sexy the track was, with the members and backing dancers just having fun.
Which isn’t surprising, as fans showed it was rated 19+ due to the aspects of the video, including nudity and sexual contact.

There was also a scene showing two girls kissing, which is something not commonly seen, as there are still some conservative views on sexuality and gender in Korea.
Netizens took to X to share their excitement and love of the music video, especially joking that KARD had done it specifically for Pride Month. While K-Pop has had controversy for debuting idols so young, fans love that KARD embraces and shows off mature themes in their music and videos.
