Hearts2Hearts is earning high praise for their recent comeback, as well as their work as a whole this year.
A recent viral post has netizens currently discussing SM girl group Hearts2Hearts, and agreeing that the group bears striking similarities to 1st and 2nd gen SM girl groups like Girls' Generation, f(x), S.E.S, and more. Not only that, but netizens have also compiled videos of Hearts2Hearts consistently paying tribute to these groups, through dance challenges, song covers, and more.
The conversation started with Hearts2Hearts' debut single 'The Chase' and 'Butterflies,' with netizens saying the vocal style reminded them strongly of f(x).
Netizens pointed out that Hearts2Hearts often says Girls' Generation has been their role model since pre-debut, and consistently covers their songs even now.
With Hearts2Hearts' most recent releases 'Style' and 'Pretty Please,' netizens commented that it isn't only the songs themselves that remind them of S.E.S and Girls' Generation, it's also the sharp choreography and cheerful, upbeat attitude.
In particular, netizens say 'Pretty Please' reminds them strongly of S.E.S's '('Cause') I'm Your Girl,' released in 1997:
Netizens have been sharing their opinions on the comparisons between Hearts2Hearts and older SM girl groups:
"I hope H2H always continues SM's legacy of pure and refreshing girl groups.."
"I never expected H2H to have this kind of concept.. girl groups these days usually have their own powerful, signature vibe. At first, I thought H2H just seemed very normal. But after getting to know them, I saw that their dancing is so sharp and their stage performances are cute and refreshing, so I'm rooting for them"
"'Pretty Please' could become a true viral hit"
"They seem like a pure and innocent group"
"'Pretty Please' totally has an S.E.S feel to it"
"People are putting a lot of expectations on them, for a rookie group that only debuted a few months ago"
"The members are really cute and I've loved every song they've put out so far, I'm still listening to all of them"
"I love H2H~~~ The 8-member choreography is amazing and the vocal line sings well so it's fun to listen to their songs ㅋㅋ"
