Pinterest has partnered SM Entertainment to bring K-pop fandom deeper into the visual discovery ecosystem, kicking off with exclusive content from girl group Hearts2Hearts as they roll out their second mini album titled Lemon Tang.
The collaboration sees SM Entertainment launching official Pinterest boards dedicated to the comeback, featuring exclusive behind-the-scenes visuals, concept imagery and curated aesthetics tied to the album’s summer theme. Fans can explore styling cues, beauty inspiration and lifestyle ideas drawn from the group’s creative direction, extending the album experience beyond music consumption into visual planning and personal expression.
The partnership marks a broader push by Pinterest to position itself as a destination where fandom meets intent-driven discovery, particularly within K-pop communities that already use the platform to plan outfits, beauty looks and fan projects.

As part of the partnership, Pinterest is hosting an official Lemon Tang board curated around the comeback’s visual identity, featuring exclusive imagery and thematic inspiration spanning fashion, beauty, room decor and travel aesthetics tied to the group’s concept universe.
“K-pop isn’t just something people listen to – it’s a visual world fans want to bring into their everyday lives,” said Ayumi Nakajima, senior director, content partnerships, Asia Pacific at Pinterest.
“On Pinterest, we see K-pop fans planning outfits, beauty looks, and fan projects months in advance. Partnering with SM Entertainment and Hearts2Hearts brings that inspiration even closer to fans, connecting the concepts they love with the ideas and products that help them create the life they want,” added Nakajima.
According to Pinterest internal data, searches and saves linked to K-pop continue to grow globally, with categories such as “K-pop style” and “K-beauty” seeing year-on-year increases as users turn inspiration into planning behaviour.
Meanwhile, SM Entertainment said the partnership reflects how fan communities actively reinterpret artist concepts across fashion, beauty and lifestyle.
“Our fans are some of the most creative communities in the world,” said SM Entertainment. “They’re constantly reimagining concepts, styling and stories from our artists in their own way. By working with Pinterest, we can give fans more ideas and inspiration to express themselves – whether they’re planning a concert fit, exploring beauty ideas or discovering new ways to connect with the music and artists they love.”
The SM Entertainment partnership builds on Pinterest’s broader push to translate digital inspiration into real-world experiences, following recent activations such as transforming its Sydney headquarters into a live wedding venue as part of its “2026 wedding trends” campaign.
That activation, which hosted a real couple’s ceremony inside Pinterest’s office space and integrated brand partners across fashion, beauty and lifestyle, reflected the platform’s strategy of turning trend forecasting into physical, lived experiences. Taken together, both efforts underscore Pinterest’s positioning shift from a discovery platform to an experiential ecosystem where online inspiration increasingly manifests into offline action.
