Hearts2Hearts Celebrate 1st Anniversary With Explosive Growth — “We’ll Become Artists Fans Can Be Proud Of”

Rising K-pop girl group Hearts2Hearts is marking its first debut anniversary with record-breaking momentum, from rookie grand slams to viral chart success and sold-out fan events.

A Rookie Year That Rewrote the Rules

Since debuting on February 24, 2025 with the dreamy and mysterious “The Chase,” the group has quickly built a strong identity through tracks like:

  • the bright and energetic “STYLE”
  • the cool and chic “FOCUS”

Known for their large-member knife-sharp synchronized performances, Hearts2Hearts captured global attention and went on to win nine Rookie of the Year trophies, the most among 2025 debut artists.

First Fan Meeting Sold Out — Even With Limited View Seats

The group’s first fan meeting, held at Olympic Hall in Seoul (Feb 21–22), sold out completely including restricted-view seats proving their rapidly growing fandom.

For the members, it became one of the most unforgettable moments of their first year.

“It was so emotional that it felt like a dream. I was happy we could get closer to our fans,” the members shared.

“RUDE!” Becomes Their Fastest-Rising Hit

Released on February 20, their new single “RUDE!” is already showing explosive results:

  • 10 million MV views in about a day
  • over 27 million views shortly after
  • Melon TOP100 peak at No.8

The track marks a bold transformation, highlighting stronger expressions, sharper performance details, and what the group calls “a stage where every part feels like a killing point.”

The Signature Hearts2Hearts Style

According to the members, their defining charm lies in the contrast between:

Confidence on stage and honest, natural chemistry off stage.

With eight members bringing different colors together, their teamwork and energy have become a core reason for their popularity.
