Hearts2Hearts, First Japanese Single 'ICONIC HEART' Released

Hearts2Hearts released their first Japanese single, ’ICONIC HEART.’ The ’ICONIC HEART’ Promotion Event in Japan BH2ND #3 captured the fan signing event, stage preparation process, and the members’ daily lives. The members greeted fans, saying it had been a while since their last fan signing event in Japan. They wore the school look they had shown in ’Newbie’ again and introduced their hairstyles inspired by girls attending Japanese schools. Their appearance with glasses drew comments that they looked like model students. They also explained their makeup concepts based on rabbits and student-like looks, saying they would have a fun time with fans. The conversation turned to food. They finally ate the donuts they used to watch mukbangs of on TikTok when hungry, describing them as sweet and delicious. They ate pork cutlet warm right after arriving. There was also talk about having steak and two Krispy Kreme donuts for breakfast on another schedule. While waiting, they talked about mango, pineapple, melon, and Shine Muscat grapes, tasted mochi, and fed each other sushi. There was a moment where they greeted fans with hearts and prepared for the fourth round of the stamp presentation ceremony. After finishing the schedule, they said they planned to buy bath bombs. They mentioned having brought various scented products to Korea before and used them well, referring to lemon scent, character-decorated products, and various fragrances. The members shared experiences of enjoying bowling with school friends during their vacation. They asked for the bowling scenes to be edited coolly and joked about who won. They also shared an anecdote about meeting fans while shopping and greeting them. They said they bought coffee to give to fans but found out the fans had already left. They spent time acting out the same lines with different emotions, expressing sensitivity, excitement, shock, annoyance, and more, commenting that acting was difficult. In the waiting area, they listened to a K-pop playlist and even offered to show beatboxing. They introduced plans to visit Jeju Island with their mother during the upcoming holiday after the Japan schedule. It would be their first trip alone with their mother, and they said they would plan the 3-night, 4-day itinerary themselves. Previously, their mother had handled the planning for family trips, but this time they told her they wanted to do it. Having spent time apart from their parents, they prepared a questionnaire to understand their mother’s preferences. They asked about how she eats seafood and said they were organizing the itinerary based on her answers. For places to visit in Jeju, they offered options: ’A Sea,’ ’B Forest Oum,’ ’C Pretty Village Street,’ and ’D Exhibition Museum Cultural Space.’ Their mother chose ’Forest Oum’ first, followed by the exhibition museum cultural space, sea, and pretty village street. Reflecting this, they planned to visit ’Forest Oum’ on the first day. They also showed their intention to restart studying Japanese. While doing makeup, they downloaded a Japanese vocabulary app and said they would memorize more words. They found a Japanese notebook from their trainee days while tidying their room but explained that many difficult words they no longer knew were written in it, so they felt the need to study. Looking at candy, they recalled their time in Indonesia. Their nickname then was ’Permen,’ which means candy in Korean, because they loved candy and ate it every day, and the name sounded similar. They added that they watched videos of a concert they wanted to attend but couldn’t once a week and watched one on that day as well. Before going on stage, they introduced their makeup and hairstyle. They personally requested to attach parts to their face and tried a perilla leaf-shaped fringe and waves. They talked about how only two members had attached parts without prior discussion. They asked for matte lip products on stage so hair wouldn’t stick to their lips, explaining the difference from the moist lip product used during the challenge shoot. They also showed off flashy rings and warned to be careful not to get pricked. The members showed practice for the challenge shoot and shared encouragement before the stage. They said their schedule would end early the next day, and they planned to go shopping for clothes and accessories, looking forward to enjoying shopping in Japan after a long time.
