The teenaged girl group \u2014 consisting of members Jiwoo, Carmen, Yuha, Stella, Juun, A-na, Ian and Ye-on \u2014 has released fun, energetic and downright catchy music over the last year since their February 2025 debut.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\t\u201cRude,\u201d a confident and sassy pop anthem released today (Feb. 20), is no exception. Full of energy and pop goodness, the single feels reminiscent of one of SM Entertainment\u2019s most popular girl groups, Girls Generation. Hearts2Hearts, who has covered the legendary girl group in the past, proudly declares the group as their inspiration. \u201cWe look up to Girls Generation and want to be like their team too,\u201d Hearts2Hearts member Yuha, 18, tells <em>The Hollywood Reporter<\/em> during the group\u2019s first American print interview. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tThe girls of Hearts2Hearts are preparing for their first set of shows in North America with their showcase Hearts 2 House. The show will allow the group members a chance to introduce themselves to a global audience and perform for their already sizable U.S. fanbase.

Or do you feel you have a strength you try to share with your teammates?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\t<strong>A-NA<\/strong> I really love to dance. When I\u2019m with my teammates, I\u2019m the one that\u2019s very energetic and fueling the team with energy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\t<strong>CARMEN<\/strong> For me, Juun helped me a lot with my dancing. I didn\u2019t confident about my dance [skills] but all the members and Juun have always helped me. And all the members have helped me a lot with Korean because I am a foreign member (Carmen grew up in Indonesia and moved to Korea to train under SM Entertainment(. They\u2019ve helped me a lot and teach me so many things.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\t<strong>STELLA<\/strong> Similar to Carmen-unnie [Korean honorific meaning older sister], I definitely learned a lot about dance from Juun and Jiwoo-unnie. They\u2019ll always help me if I don\u2019t know how to move my body. I\u2019ve also learned a lot of Korean. Although I am Korean, I\u2019m still a bit new to it (Stella was born in Korea but grew up in Vancouver).<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\t<strong>IAN<\/strong> I love performing onstage. I try be very confident whenever I go onstage and try to share that happy vibe and energy with my friends while performing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\t<strong>Awesome. Does anyone else have something they want to share?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\t<strong>YE-ON<\/strong> I love to sing. Within the team, I get the most energy from Ian and A-na.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\t<strong>JIWOO<\/strong> I think all of us have been supporting each other and helping each other grow. Especially Juun and Yuha have helped me when I do dance practice. Others have helped me when I try to find the right notes during singing practice. I also get energy from Ian and A-na, as Ye-on said. So, really, all of the members have helped each other group as a team.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\t<strong>JUUN<\/strong> I\u2019m really keen on trying to prepare well for dance and stage performance and not be too nervous.

After we recorded it, we got together, listened to it and then we just couldn\u2019t wait to show it to the world and to our fans to see what their reactions are going to be like. Compared to our first time recording, it seems like our confidence has been boosted as we get more experience.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\t<strong>In terms of Hearts2Hearts as a group, what do you feel like sets you apart or makes you unique?

You might still be figuring that out, and that\u2019s OK too.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\t<strong>YE-ON<\/strong> One thing that\u2019s very unique about our team is that we have many members in the group, which means that we can deliver very diverse and dynamic performance.

An SMP song is [a genre] we haven\u2019t tried out yet, so that\u2019s something that we definitely want to try in the future. A ballad is also something that we haven\u2019t tried and want to at one point.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\t<strong>This is something I ask most artists I speak with.
