[Dispatch=Reporter Tae-yun Jung] Hearts2Hearts solidifies the team's color further. They aim straight for summer with a refreshing summer song. The title itself is "Lemon Tang"—they compete with a sweet and tangy appeal. It's not just sourness. Eight members unite to deliver sweetness as well. Jiwoo emphasized, "The distinguishing factor of our summer song lies in the message that we shine when we're together." "Since debut, we've shown increasingly diverse sides and revealed our color. What's certain is that we will continue to show you sparkling and sparkling taste." (Jiwoo) Hearts2Hearts held a showcase for their second mini album "Lemon Tang" on the 22nd afternoon at Blue Square Uri WON Banking Hall in Yongsan-gu, Seoul. The new album contains six tracks, including "RUDE" released last February. It's an album that captures the members' energy, shining freely like a refreshing summer day. The tracks include the title track of the same name, "15-Love," "All Firsts," "heart emoji," "Secret Recipe," and "RUDE." Stella said, "'RUDE' received so much love, so thanks to that we had a busy first half. We achieved rookie awards and No. 1 on music charts," and added, "This time we plan to show refreshing energy." In line with the team name, they hid 'hearts' throughout all songs. Jiwoo revealed, "It's an album that is sincere about hearts. There will be fun in finding the 'hearts' contained in each song." The title track combines the sourness of lemon with 'Tang,' which means a zesty taste and flavor. The refreshing summer sensibility and upbeat, vibrant sound are impressive. Yuha shared the reason for selecting the title track: "When I heard the demo, it felt like summer at once. I thought it was the most suitable song to convey Hearts2Hearts' bright energy." The lyrics tell the story of how when you're alone you're sour and sharp like a lemon, but when you and I meet, we become 'Lemon Tang' with a tangy yet sweet charm. It calls to always be together as 'we.' Following the members' representative songs "Focus," "The Chase," and "Style," Kenji took on the lyrics once again. Jiwoo said, "He put the 'we' message we wanted to express into the lyrics." She continued, "When a lemon is alone it's sour and zesty, but when it's together with other ingredients, doesn't it create various flavors? We too shine brighter when we're together," she emphasized. The music video was filmed in Okinawa, Japan. Against the backdrop of blue ocean, beaches, and a lemon farm, they displayed their refreshing charm abundantly. It was also the members' first overseas location shoot. Ian gave a hint: "It's a story where the youngest member Ye-on falls for a boy driving a lemon truck. The moment she falls for him and gets startled is so cute. Please focus on Ye-on's acting." The members also showcased the "Lemon Tang" stage that day. They burst refreshing energy over bouncy rhythms. Their signature synchronized choreography has been further upgraded. The point choreography featured movements like squeezing a lemon by hand. Hearts2Hearts' signature 4-to-4 symmetrical structure and straight-line formation were visible again. Juun said, "This time choreographer Jo Na-in participated in 'Focus' and 'RUDE' as well," and emphasized, "Just like our team name, we prepared hard to convey a message transmitted from heart to heart." Previously, aespa made a comeback with "Lemonade." Hearts2Hearts is set to showcase a lemon world together. What different flavor will Hearts2Hearts offer compared to aespa's lemon? Jiwoo said, "I recently met senior Karina and she said it was interesting that we're coming back with the same material," and pointed out, "If aespa is a sharp sour taste, we are a fresh sweet taste." They inherit SM Entertainment's summer song lineage. Jiwoo said, "Since I enjoy listening to seniors' music, it would be enjoyable if we continue that lineage," and asked, "Please focus on the refreshing cool melody and the message of togetherness." The new album's goal is to become a 'summer song' that everyone acknowledges. Karmen wished, "If it was 'RUDE' in the first half, this time we want to be loved as 'Lemon Tang,'" and added, "We want to make this year Hearts2Hearts." If "RUDE" drew attention for Stella's dignified rap, this time the team is confident in all parts. Yuha added, "I think each member has a good tone of voice. That charm is more clearly shown in 'Lemon Tang.' Every part is a killing part." Meanwhile, Hearts2Hearts will release "Lemon Tang" today at 6 PM on major music sites.
