Hearts2Hearts projects full summer energy with new release 'Lemon Tang'

K-pop girl group Hearts2Hearts is officially in its summer era. SM Entertainment's buzzy rookie group dropped its new minialbum "Lemon Tang" Monday, ready to take over summer playlists with a sound as sweet and tangy as the title suggests. The eight-member group debuted in February 2025 and has been racking up hits ever since, channeling the same girlish, slightly mysterious charm that made label seniors Girls' Generation and f(x) icons, this time through tracks like "The Chase," "STYLE" and "FOCUS." Then came "RUDE!" in February. Powered by its fizzy production and a scene-stealing part from member Stella, the single turned into a global hit. Just hours before "Lemon Tang" dropped, all eight members — Jiwoo, Carmen, Yuha, Stella, Juun, A-na, Ian and Ye-on — sat down with press at Blue Square in Yongsan District, Seoul, all smiles about following up the success of "RUDE!" "I'm still so thankful for how much love 'RUDE!' got. The first half of this year was a lot, but a good kind of a lot," Stella said. "Hitting our goal of topping the rookie charts last year meant everything. I really
