AtHeart Makes History as First K-Pop Girl Group to Debut on US TV in Record Time
Girl group AtHeart has officially ignited their global ascent, achieving a groundbreaking feat by becoming the fastest K-pop girl group to debut on a US television program.
The group made their highly anticipated first appearance on the popular FOX5 morning talk show 'Good Day New York' on the 21st (local time).
During their segment, AtHeart delivered a powerful performance of the English version of their debut EP's title track, 'Plot Twist.' The performance captivated the audience with its dynamic choreography, seamlessly transitioning between intense and graceful movements that mirrored the song's narrative of overcoming challenges.
A standout moment was the 'Nami Twist Dance,' a synchronized move where members Nahyun and Mitch twirled together like interlocking gears, showcasing the group's exceptional synergy and captivating stage presence.
Following their performance, the members discussed their debut EP, 'Plot Twist.' Mitch explained, "It captures the inner world of girls facing themselves amidst unpredictable flows," expressing their ambition to connect with fans worldwide on an emotional level. Caitlin, visiting New York for the second time, added a lighthearted touch by mentioning her desire to try ice skating.
This appearance on 'Good Day New York' not only marks AtHeart's first US broadcast debut but also sets a new record for the quickest international TV entry by a K-pop girl group, solidifying their presence on the global stage.
Having launched an extensive promotional campaign in the US just two months after their debut, AtHeart's appearances on popular shows, along with interviews with major media outlets, radio stations, and magazines, highlight their rapidly growing international stature.
Previously recognized by international media, including The Hollywood Reporter, as 'K-pop groups to watch in 2025' even before their official debut, AtHeart's successful entry into the US market signals a potential paradigm shift in the global K-pop landscape.
Currently, their debut song 'Plot Twist' is garnering significant attention, with its music video exceeding 16.1 million views and audio streams surpassing 18.26 million on YouTube, where they also boast 1.26 million subscribers.
