SM Entertainment's rookie girl group Heart2Hearts will return with a new digital single toward the end of February, marking their first music release in approximately four months.
The eight-member group is currently preparing for the late-February comeback, according to a statement from SM Entertainment on January 14. This release follows their first mini album "FOCUS," which dropped in October 2025 and featured the title track that earned recognition from U.S. music publication The Fader as one of the best songs of the year.
Heart2Hearts debuted on February 24, 2025, with the single album "The Chase," which achieved a music show win just 15 days after release—a rare accomplishment for a rookie group, according to chosun.
The group quickly established itself as a leading contender for Best New Artist of 2025, winning the award at ASEA 2025 and topping charts on QQ Music, China's largest music platform.
Their June 2025 single "STYLE" showcased a vibrant departure from their dreamy debut concept, while "FOCUS" further demonstrated their musical range across six diverse tracks.
The upcoming comeback coincides with the group's first anniversary since its debut, Soompi reported. Before the single's release, Heart2Hearts will host their inaugural fan meeting, "2026 Hearts2Hearts Fanmeeting 'HEARTS 2 HOUSE,'" at Seoul's Olympic Hall on February 21 and 22. The two-day event sold out all seats during presale and general sales, reflecting the group's rapidly growing domestic popularity.
Following the February comeback and fan meeting, Heart2Hearts will embark on their first North American showcase tour in March. The "2026 Hearts2Hearts Premiere Showcase 'HEARTS 2 HOUSE' in North America" includes stops at Brooklyn Paramount in New York on March 19 and The Wiltern in Los Angeles on March 22. The tour continues with a fan meeting in Jakarta, Indonesia, on March 28, as per Korea JoongAng Daily.
The group consists of members Ye-on, Stella, Yuha, Ian, A-na, Juun, Carmen, and Jiwoo. As SM Entertainment's first new girl group in five years since aespa, Heart2Hearts represents a key component of the company's SM 3.0 strategy.
Their upcoming release will test the group's ability to maintain momentum after a successful debut year that included domestic chart success, international recognition, and a platinum certification for "FOCUS" from the Korea Music Content Association.
Fans can expect further details about the single's title and concept as the late-February release date approaches. The group's schedule indicates a busy period ahead, balancing comeback preparations with anniversary celebrations and international tour commitments.
