The group AtHeart solidified its global presence by appearing on the radio after making the quickest radio appearance following its debut on a U.S. TV program.
AtHeart appeared on the U.S.'s most popular radio channel, 102.7 KIIS FM's "iHeart KPOP with JoJo," on the 16th, leaving a strong impression on local fans.
Under the hosting of famous DJ JoJo Wright, AtHeart shared various stories that day about the meaning behind their group name, the most memorable moment since their debut, and how it felt to hear the vivid cheers of fans.
In particular, regarding being named one of the "K-pop groups to watch in 2025" by leading overseas media, AtHeart said, "We are honored to debut as the first girl group of Titan Content. There is pressure to live up to expectations, but it seems to motivate us to work harder. The titles we earn after debut remind us why we wanted to become singers. Just being on stage makes us happy."
Regarding promoting extensively across the U.S., traveling between New York and Los Angeles just two months after debut, AtHeart said, "I was anew surprised at how many fans there are overseas. Just thinking about a future world tour under our name makes me excited. Our dream is to hold solo concerts in each member's hometown, including Korea, Hawaii and the Philippines."
Finally, AtHeart added, "This was our first U.S. promotion, and we once again thank the fans who sent amazing support wherever and whenever. It meant a lot to us. We will work hard so we can meet fans around the world. We love you."
AtHeart previously appeared on FOX5's talk show Good Day New York and performed the English version of the title track "Plot Twist," which shares the name of their first EP. This marked the shortest time for a K-pop girl group to appear on a U.S. TV program, and AtHeart conveyed a bold ambition to connect with global fans by showing themselves as they are amid unpredictable trends.
In this way, AtHeart consolidated its rising global momentum by conducting interviews with popular U.S. broadcast programs as well as radio and other media. Living up to being one of the "K-pop groups to watch in 2025," AtHeart is laying the foundation for a successful global expansion and bringing a new paradigm to the K-pop scene.
AtHeart's debut song "Plot Twist" is gaining widespread popularity, surpassing 18.26 million cumulative audio streams on YouTube, 16.22 million music video views and 1.32 million YouTube subscribers.
