As a member of the girl group Hearts2Hearts (H2H), Carmen and her fellow members made their highly anticipated debut on February 24, 2025.

From Bali to the K-Pop Spotlight

Carmen’s journey into the K-Pop world began in 2022 when she successfully passed SM Entertainment’s global audition in Jakarta. Her talent in singing, rapping, and playing the piano caught the agency’s attention, leading her to undergo an intensive three-year trainee program. Her dedication and hard work finally paid off, securing her spot in Hearts2Hearts and making her the fifth Indonesian female K-Pop idol after Dita Karang (SECRET Number), Kim (VVUP), Via (BeautyBox), and Cleo (I.MET.U).

Hearts2Hearts is an eight-member group consisting of Carmen, Ye On, Stella, Yuha, Ian, A Na, Juun, and Jiwoo. Carmen stands out as the only non-Korean member, reinforcing her role as a representative of Indonesia on the global K-Pop stage.

Following the announcement of her debut, Carmen’s name quickly trended on social media. Fans from Indonesia and around the world have expressed overwhelming excitement about her presence in the K-Pop industry. Many have even given her the nickname “Bali Girl” in recognition of her unique roots.

Beyond her captivating vocals and powerful rap skills, Carmen brings an extra layer of charm with her talent for finger magic tricks—something rarely seen among idols. Additionally, her fluency in Korean demonstrates her dedication to adapting and thriving in the competitive K-Pop industry.

As the eldest member of Hearts2Hearts, Carmen is known for her maturity and caring nature, making her a grounding presence within the group. Many industry insiders predict she will become one of the standout members, thanks to her striking visuals, well-rounded talent, and magnetic stage presence.

A Milestone for Indonesia in K-Pop
