On February 24, 2025, SM Entertainment unveiled their latest girl group, Hearts2Hearts, marking their first female ensemble since aespa’s debut in 2020. The eight-member group— Carmen, Jiwoo, Yuha, Stella, Juun, A-na, Ian, and Ye-on, introduced themselves with the single album “The Chase,” featuring the lead track of the same name. The debut was met with significant commercial success, as “The Chase” recorded first-day sales of 231,648 copies, securing the position of the second-highest debut day sales for a K-pop girl group.
One of the hottest topics on the girls currently is how center and visual member, Ian, happens to be a huge fan of NCT. In particular, she seems to be a fan of Jaehyun. Fans found her pre-debut photos where she took sticker booth pictures with Jaehyun’s frame.
She even had other printed photos of him!
It must be a dream come true for her, to debut as his direct junior. Fans welcome her into the fandom happily.
Jaehyun is insanely popular and one of the most kind and calm idols ever. So cute that Ian is debuting in the same company as her idol. Hoping ill-intentioned people leave her alone already 🙏 https://t.co/cpfjYUGUNk
