SM Entertainment‘s new girl group Hearts2Hearts chose ‘Winning the Rookie Award’ as their first goal.

Hearts2Hearts made their surprise debut in the music industry on the 24th at 6PM by releasing their first single ‘The Chase’ through various music sites. They personally shared their thoughts on their debut at a media showcase held at Yes24 Live Hall in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul ahead of their album release.

Member Ian said, “In itself, we are happy with our debut, but it is an honor that the eight of us can emerge as Hearts2Hearts during this special year of SM Entertainment’s 30th anniversary. With the support of our seniors, we will become SM‘s ‘The Future’ by presenting good music like our seniors.”

Carmen, who is from Indonesia, said, “I liked K-pop since I was little. In particular, after seeing Girls’ Generation on TV, I wanted to be like them. That‘s why I auditioned, passed, and debuted under SM.” She added about her family’s reaction, “They‘re all so supportive. More than anything, my older sister likes K-pop, so she’s happy.” She made everyone laugh.

When asked about the team‘s goal, Jiwoo said, “I want to receive the Rookie of the Year award, which you only get once in your life. The members have talked about the Rookie of the Year award a lot. I definitely want to win first place on a music show.”

Meanwhile, Hearts To Hearts’ debut album, “The Chase,” contains two tracks: the title song of the same name, “The Chase,” and the b-side, “Butterflies.” As this is an album announcing the debut of Hearts To Hearts, it contains various emotions felt while running towards a dream, with dreams and beginnings as keywords.
