Hearts2Hearts is set for a major comeback in October, announcing that their first-ever mini-album will drop then, according to SM Entertainment.
On September 22 at midnight, the label dropped their first teaser image for their debut mini-album, “FOCUS,” on all social media platforms.
Hearts2Hearts will release their first mini-album FOCUS on October 20 at 6 PM KST, with the pre-release track Pretty Please arriving on September 24. This marks their most significant release yet following earlier singles like “The Chase” and “STYLE.”
The group debuted in February with “The Chase,” which immediately made waves. It sold about 408,880 copies in its first week according to Hanteo Chart, setting a record for highest first-week sales for a girl group debut album in K-pop history. Their first-day sales—around 231,648 copies—also placed them high among debut records.
Their follow-up single, “STYLE,” released in June, showed a different side of the group—lighter, brighter, and more playful. It helped fans see the group isn’t one-note.
Hearts2Hearts, SM’s first group since aespa, consists of eight members: Jiwoo, Carmen, Yuha, Stella, Juun, A-Na, Ian, and Yeon. After debuting in February, the group will make their second comeback next month. The October lineup features LE SSERAFIM, FIFTY FIFTY, BOYNEXTDOOR, TWICE, BABYMONSTER, NMIXX, and more.
Fans can look forward to FOCUS dropping on October 20 at 6 PM KST, with a taste of what’s to come through the pre-release track Pretty Please on September 24.
