SM Entertainment’s rookie girl group Heart2Hearts will return with a new digital single towards the end of February, marking their first music release in about four months.
The eight-member group is currently preparing for their late February comeback, according to a Jan. 14 statement from SM Entertainment. This release follows their first mini album “FOCUS”, released in October 2025 and featuring the title track which earned recognition from US 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 earned a music show win just 15 days after release – a rare achievement for a debut group, according to chosun.
The group has quickly established itself as a top contender for Best New Artist of 2025, winning the award at ASEA 2025 and topping the charts on QQ Music, China’s largest music platform.
Their June 2025 single “STYLE” showcased a vibrant departure from their dream debut concept, while “FOCUS” further demonstrated their musical range across six different tracks.
The upcoming return coincides with the group’s first anniversary since its debut, Soompi reported. Ahead of the single’s release, Heart2Hearts will hold their inaugural fan meeting, “2026 Hearts2Hearts Fanmeeting ‘HEARTS 2 HOUSE'”, at the Olympic Hall in Seoul on February 21st and 22nd. The two-day event sold out seats during pre-sale and general sales, reflecting the group’s rapidly growing national popularity.
Following their February comeback and fan meeting, Heart2Hearts will embark on their first North American tour in March. The “2026 Hearts2Hearts Premiere Showcase ‘HEARTS 2 HOUSE’ in North America” includes stops at the 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 more details on the single’s title and concept as the late February release date approaches. The group’s schedule points to a busy period ahead, balancing comeback preparations with anniversary celebrations and international tour commitments.
