Hearts2Hearts ICONIC HEART arrives in Korean on Monday, October 5, 2026. SM Entertainment drops the audio at 6 p.m. Korea time, 6 a.m. in Brasília. The track is the title of the group’s first Japanese single. Music-show promotions start the following week.
What changes in the song
The Korean Hearts2Hearts ICONIC HEART keeps the jersey-club base: light synths and a bouncy beat. Jersey club is a fast dance style born in New Jersey, with short bass hits and a broken rhythm. The lyrics, written by KENZIE as on the original, describe the rush of running together toward a bigger world. SM calls the Korean tone brighter and cuter than the Japanese release. It is not a new album. It is the same song re-recorded for the domestic audience.
The group already performed the Korean version at Spotify CLOSER, at Myeonghwa Live Hall in Seoul, on October 2. The date and time come from SM and were reported by Break News and Chosun Biz.
What the Japanese single already did
The Japanese single came out in August 2026. According to SM, it reached No. 2 on Oricon’s weekly singles chart, the combined singles chart, the Billboard Japan Hot 100 and Billboard Japan’s top singles sales chart. The Korean version is framed as a thank-you to Korean fans who followed the Japan debut.
Why it matters
Hearts2Hearts are part of SM’s newer roster and used Japan as an international door. Bringing the song back in Korean, with a music-show schedule, is the classic route for turning a Japan result into chart and TV presence at home. There is no pre-order figure yet: the release is digital and set for late afternoon in Seoul today.
