Sold Out Shows in New York and LA

Hearts2Hearts held ‘2026 Hearts2Hearts Premiere Showcase in North America’ on:

  • March 19 in Brooklyn Paramount, New York
  • March 22 at The Wiltern in Los Angeles

Both venues were completely sold out, marking a strong debut in the U.S. market. For a group still building its global footprint, this level of turnout highlights a fanbase that is already active and expanding many people considering Hearts2Hearts the next big girl group out there.

A Setlist Built for Global Fans

During the showcase, Hearts2Hearts performed their key tracks including:

  • ‘RUDE!’
  • ‘FOCUS’
  • ‘STYLE’
  • ‘The Chase’

Each stage emphasized high energy choreography and polished performance, reinforcing their identity as a performance driven group. But it wasn’t just their own music that stood out.

A Viral Moment on Stage

One of the biggest highlights came during their latest hit ‘RUDE!’. The track, which has already topped multiple global charts and earned five music show wins, triggered explosive audience reactions especially during the English narration part of Stella that sparked a crowd singalong. The iconic lines are viral across multiple platforms with fans creating videos reciting the verse.

Moments like this showed that their music is already resonating beyond Korea.

“A Memory We’ll Never Forget”

Following the shows, the group shared their gratitude:

“It was our first solo performance in the U.S., and we’re thankful for the bright energy from fans. Being able to perform while making eye contact with them is something we’ll always remember.”

For many K-pop groups, North America is a key test. Selling out venues is one thing but creating real time audience engagement is another. The group is continuing its global push with:

  • A performance at the GRAMMY Museum in LA
  • An upcoming fan meeting in Jakarta on March 28

And if this momentum continues, this may only be the beginning of a much bigger expansion.
