Hearts2Hearts achieved nine rookie awards.
Hearts2Hearts, after winning seven rookie award trophies at various music award shows last year, added rookie awards at the recently held '2nd The Awards' and the '33rd Hanteo Music Awards 2025', taking nine rookie awards and drawing attention for having the most rookie awards among artists who debuted in 2025.
Earlier, Hearts2Hearts achieved three wins and two wins respectively at '2025 MAMA' and 'MMA2025' despite it being their first appearances, including rookie awards, won two awards at the '2025 Brand of the Year Awards' (domestic female idol - rookie, Indonesia female idol - rising star), three awards at the '2026 Korea First Brand Awards' (female idol (rookie) - domestic, Vietnam, Indonesia), received the Golden Disc Upbit Popularity Award at the '40th Golden Disc Awards', and was nominated for best k-pop song at the '2026 Korean Music Awards', proving their explosive popularity as the "best rookie."
Also, Hearts2Hearts' first mini album FOCUS (Focus) ranked No. 1 on Japan's Oricon daily album chart, ranked 11th — the highest K-pop position — on the U.S. The Fader's 'The 51 best songs of 2025', was selected by the U.K. NME in 'NME 100: Essential Emerging Artists for 2026', and was nominated in the 'Best New Artist (K-pop)' category at the U.S. '2026 iHeartRadio Music Awards', demonstrating exceptional global interest.
Riding this dominant momentum, Hearts2Hearts will make a comeback on the 20th with the new single 'RUDE!', a house-based dance track capturing the cute rebellion and bold charm of tomboys unconstrained by fixed rules, expected to capture listeners once again, and high expectations are focused on the additional activities they will carry out this year starting with the 'RUDE!' promotions.
Meanwhile, Hearts2Hearts' single 'RUDE!' will be released on Feb. 20 at 6 p.m. on various music sites.
