SM Entertainment Announces New Girl Group Hearts2Hearts

SM Entertainment has officially introduced its new eight-member girl group, Hearts2Hearts, set to debut in February 2025 during the SMTOWN Live concert commemorating the company's 30th anniversary. The group was revealed through a teaser video that generated significant buzz, particularly due to one member's resemblance to aespa's Karina. Speculation surrounding the group suggests it will feature an equal split of four Korean and four international members, with all being minors, the youngest being 15. Fans are eager for more details about the members and their concept, which is rumored to have a 'dreamy vibe' akin to groups like Red Velvet and NewJeans. Hearts2Hearts marks the first girl group launch by SM in five years, following aespa's debut. The anticipation surrounding this group reflects SM's legacy of successful girl groups, building excitement in the K-pop community.
