Hearts2Hearts (Korean하츠투하츠) is a South Korean girl group formed by SM Entertainment. The group consists of eight members: Carmen, Jiwoo, Yuha, Stella, Juun, A-na, Ian, and Ye-on. They debuted on February 24, 2025, with the single album The Chase and its lead single of the same name.

Name

According to SM Entertainment's report, the group name, Hearts2Hearts, means "to connect with global fans through a mysterious musical world filled with various emotions and heartfelt messages, and move forward together as a greater 'us'".[2][3] The name's inclusion of "s2" is a reference to a heart emoticon.[4]

Career

2023–2025: Formation

The first news of a new girl group from SM Entertainment came in February 2023 when the company announced their new SM 3.0 business strategy. In the announcement video, CEO Chris Sung-soo Lee and COO Tak Young-jun said that SM would debut four new acts in 2023: a new Tokyo-based sub-unit of NCT (which became NCT Wish), a new boy band (which became Riize), a virtual solo artist (which became Naevis) and a new girl group.[5] These plans were reiterated in May, when the company shared a YouTube video of CEO Jang Cheol-hyuk announcing their plans for 2023 which confirmed the company's plans to launch a new girl group in the fourth quarter of the year.[6]

The group's debut was delayed several times, with the news being released each time in the company's earnings reports. The first delay came in August 2023, with SM stating the group would now debut in the first half of 2024.[7] The debut was again delayed in May 2024, moving the group's debut to the fourth quarter of the year.[8] In November 2024, SM updated their schedule for the final time, pushing the group's debut to the first quarter of 2025.[9]

At the end of SM's 30th anniversary celebration SM Town Live 2025 concert at Gocheok Sky Dome on January 12, a surprise trailer was played that revealed the group's name and eight members, though their individual names were not released. The trailer also revealed that the group would debut in February 2025.[10] The next day, South Korean media including Maeil Business Newspaper and The Korea Economic Daily reported that Hearts2Hearts would debut on February 24, with promotions beginning in late January.[11][12][13]

Following the group's reveal, their company's stock experienced a 4.5% increase on the Korea Exchange at the closing of its trading day, with an additional gain of 6.94% the next day.[14]

Hearts2Hearts is SM's first new girl group since Aespa debuted in 2020, and its first since the departure of founder and executive producer Lee Soo-man in 2023. With 8 members, it is also SM's largest girl group since Girls' Generation's 2007 debut with 9 members.[14] Pop culture critic, Ha Jae-geun, noted that the group will be a "test" of the SM 3.0 corporate production strategy that was introduced in the wake of Lee's exit from the company.[14]

2025–present: Introduction and debut

On January 31, 2025, Hearts2Hearts' Instagram account was opened to the public, which unveiled a series of images, giving a sneak peek of the members.[15] All members were revealed on February 3, when a trailer for the group, entitled "Chase Your Choice", was released on SM's official YouTube channel, and additional social media accounts were opened.[16] The group's debut release, a single album entitled The Chase, was revealed that same day on February 24. The Chase comprises two songs: the lead single of the same name and a B-side titled "Butterflies".[16] A schedule for the release was revealed on February 4, including the announcement of a debut showcase at the Yes24 Music Hall in Seoul on the album's release date.[17] On March 11, the group won their first music broadcast trophy in 15 days since debut on The Show with "The Chase".[18] On June 18, Hearts2Hearts released the digital single "Style".[19] The group released their first EP Focus on October 20, with "Pretty Please", one of the tracks of the EP, being pre-released on September 24.[20] Pretty Please also serves as a promotion track for Pokémon Legends: Z-A in South Korea.[21]

On February 20, 2026, Hearts2Hearts released the digital single "Rude!".[22]
