Hearts2Hearts (Korean: 하츠투하츠) 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.
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'". The name's inclusion of "S2" is a reference to a heart emoticon.
News of a new girl group from SM Entertainment first 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, including a girl group. Another video released later in May of CEO Jang Cheol-hyuk announcing the company's plans for 2023 reiterated the launch of a new girl group in the fourth quarter of the year.
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. The debut was again delayed in May 2024, moving the group's debut to the fourth quarter of the year. In November 2024, SM updated their schedule for the final time, pushing the group's debut to the first quarter of 2025.
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. 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.
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. Hearts2Hearts is SM's first girl group 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 debuted in 2007 with 9 members. 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.
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. All members were revealed on February 3 through a titled "Chase Your Choice" released on SM's official YouTube channel, and additional social media accounts were opened. On February 24, Hearts2Hearts released their debut single album titled The Chase which contains the lead single of the same name and a B-side titled "Butterflies". A debut showcase for the group was held at the Yes24 Music Hall in Seoul on the same day. The group won their first music broadcast trophy on March 11, 15 days after their debut, on The Show with "The Chase". The song reached number 21 on South Korea's singles chart, while the single album has been certified Platinum by the KMCA. On June 18, the group released the digital single "Style", which peaked at number 17. On October 20, Hearts2Hearts released their first EP Focus, after having released the track "Pretty Please" as a pre-release single on September 24. The EP and its titular lead single earned the group a new peak at number 3 on the albums chart and number 14 on the singles chart respectively. "Pretty Please" later served as a promotional track in South Korea for Pokémon Legends: Z-A. Hearts2Hearts was named one of 2025's best new artists at various South Korean year-end award ceremonies, including the MAMA Awards, Melon Music Awards and Seoul Music Awards.
