Hearts2Hearts to begin North American showcase, ‘Hearts2House,’ in March

 
Girl group Hearts2Hearts will begin its North American showcase tour in March, its agency SM Entertainment said on Tuesday. 
 
The group will hold the “2026 Hearts2Hearts Premiere Showcase [Hearts 2 House] in North America” on March 19 in New York and March 22 in Los Angeles. 
 
 
The showcase follows the group’s appearance at “Smtown Live 2025 in LA,” a large-scale K-pop concert organized by SM Entertainment that features multiple artists from the agency’s roster, in May. The group now plans to return to North America for stand-alone performances that highlight the members’ performance styles.
 
U.S. magazine The Fader ranked the group’s title track “Focus” from its first mini-album among “The 51 best songs of 2025,” placing the song at No. 11. The ranking marked the highest placement among K-pop artists on the list.
 
Ahead of the North American showcase, Hearts2Hearts will hold its first meet and greet, “2026 Hearts2Hearts Fan Meeting [Hearts2House],” on Feb. 21 and 22 at Olympic Park in southern Seoul. 
 
Hearts2Hearts debuted with its first single, “The Chase,” in February. It was the first group to debut under SM Entertainment in a year since boy band NCT Wish, and the company’s first new girl group in five years since aespa. The group consists of eight members: Ye-on, Stella, Yuha, Ian, A-na, Juun, Carmen and Jiwoo.
