SM Entertainment’s seven-time rookie award winner, Hearts2Hearts, will officially return on Feb. 20 with a new single, “RUDE!” The eight-member girl group, consisting of Jiwoo, Carmen, Yuha, Stella, Juun, A-na, Ian, and Ye-on, has been unstoppable since their first mini album, ‘FOCUS,’ released last October. You can catch the new track on all major music platforms at 6 p.m. KST, making it their first official release in about four months. It’s the perfect way to start a busy year of promotions.
The Rise of Global K-pop Group Hearts2Hearts
The group is known for playing with different sounds. They have already impressed fans with the dreamy vibes of “The Chase” and the upbeat energy of “STYLE.” They also showed a more polished side with their debut EP, ‘FOCUS.’ With this new track, they are ready to show how much they have grown as artists.
The members really care about connecting with their fans through their music, which is why they chose a name that represents “connecting hearts.” Each girl brings her own unique personality to the group, helping them build a deep bond with their global audience as they grow together into a greater “we.”
Hearts2Hearts is entering 2026 with a lot of momentum after a massive debut year. They recently swept seven Rookie of the Year awards at major shows like the 2025 Mnet Asian Music Awards (MAMA) and Melon Music Awards (MMA). They even scored a nomination for Best New Artist at the 2026 iHeartRadio Music Awards in the U.S. It’s clear that their talent and stage presence are making a huge impact on the global music scene, and this comeback is only going to take them further.
Fans will also have plenty of chances to see them perform live very soon. Before the single drops, they will be at SMTOWN LIVE in Bangkok’s Rajamangala National Stadium on Feb. 14. After the release, they will host their very first fan meeting in Seoul on Feb. 21 and 22, followed by showcase events in New York at Brooklyn Paramount on March 19 and Los Angeles at The Wiltern on March 22. They will then wrap up the tour with another fan meeting in Jakarta on March 28, so it’s going to be an exciting spring for anyone following their journey.
