After a long wait, SM Entertainment has officially announced the debut of its newest girl group. The 8-member group, Hearts2Hearts (하츠투하츠), will make their official debut on 24th February 2025 (Monday). The announcement came after the official teaser played at the recent SMTOWN LIVE 2025 concert, giving the public a glimpse of the members. 

While the group boasts an impressive line-up, one member who caught many netizens’ attention was Carmen (카르멘). The idol has gone viral on Twitter for her rare background as an SM Entertainment trainee, as she’s the first Indonesian idol under the renowned agency. If you want to learn more about Carmen, here are five fun facts about the soon-to-debut idol:

She’s The First Indonesian Idol Under SM Entertainment

Carmen, whose full name is Nyoman Ayu Carmenita, is reportedly from Bali, Indonesia, making her the first Indonesian idol to debut in SM Entertainment. She’s also only the second Southeast Asian idol to debut under the agency, following NCT/WayV’s Ten. As Indonesian idols are still rare in the K-pop industry, many Southeast Asian K-pop fans have voiced interest in Carmen.

She Was Active In Academics & Sports During Her Student Days

Carmen’s school days have also caught netizens’ attention because, as it turns out, the idol was a brilliant student who excelled in academics and extracurricular activities. According to sources, Carmen often boasts high exam scores and was the class president. She reportedly won first place in the women’s high jump at a student athletic competition.

She Can Speak Multiple Languages

Given her educational background, it’s no surprise that Carmen is a polyglot. Besides speaking Indonesian, she’s reportedly fluent in English and Korean, making her trilingual. It’s also likely that the young singer can understand the Balinese language because of her place of birth, but this information remains unconfirmed.

Talent seems to run in the family for Carmen because her parents are reportedly both renowned musicians in Bali. Her family also has a community dedicated to the performing arts and is very active in teaching music and dance. Carmen also once partook in an international dance competition, where her group, led by her parents, won first place.

She’s Skilled In Playing Multiple Instruments

Carmen is said to be a great singer and dancer, but the young star is also skilled at playing musical instruments. A video of her playing the piano surfaced on social media after her group’s announcement, which piqued netizens’ interest. Some sources also said that she plays the guitar.

Carmen will soon make her official debut alongside her Hearts2Hearts groupmates in late February, and official teasers will be released later this month. Are you excited for the new girl group?
