Hearts2Hearts collaborates with Tencent Games and Garena's MOBA "Arena of Valor" for its 10th anniversary; single "Next Chapter" out on the 16th, first stage at Bangkok esports event on the 23rd

Girl group Hearts2Hearts has teamed up with a global game. SM Entertainment announced on the 13th that Hearts2Hearts will carry out a special collaboration with "Arena of Valor," a major MOBA game co-developed by Tencent Games and Garena. Planned to celebrate the game's 10th anniversary, the project goes beyond singing a collaboration single to include offline performances and in-game content. Hearts2Hearts will release the single "Next Chapter" and its music video simultaneously at 6 p.m. on the 16th and give its first performance at the esports event "Arena of the Decade" in Bangkok, Thailand, on the 23rd. In-game content featuring the members' voices will be introduced in stages afterward. The collaboration is also notable as SM steps up the global platform expansion of its artists' IP by partnering with Tencent, one of its major shareholders. Hearts2Hearts has previously collaborated across industries, including a crossover with "Catch! Teenieping" characters, Kia's song "Moonride," and partnerships with Mega MGC Coffee, Musinsa Standard and Lily Brown. This week, the group will perform the Korean version of its Japanese debut song "ICONIC HEART," released on the 5th, on Korean music shows.
