Hearts2Hearts sweep Indonesia JOOX K-Pop Top 50 with 3 songs in top 5, Carmen in spotlight

Three songs, one chart, one group

Hearts2Hearts claimed three of the top five spots on Indonesia's JOOX K-POP TOP 50 as of October 16. ICONIC HEART (Korean Ver.) hit #1, Lemon Tang landed at #2, and RUDE! sat at #5. BABYMONSTER's 춤 (CHOOM) and MOON occupied #3 and #4.

ICONIC HEART (Korean Ver.) arrived October 5. It's a Korean-language version of the Japanese debut single ICONIC HEART from SM Entertainment Japan, released earlier in 2026 in a year that also saw RUDE!, Lemon Tang, and Moonride.

Why Carmen is the name everyone's saying

Much of the Indonesian traction traces back to Carmen — full name Nyoman Ayu Carmenita, born in Bali, Indonesia, and the only non-Korean member among the group's eight. Most fourth-gen groups don't have a direct line into Southeast Asian fandoms the way she does.

The numbers prove it. The group's second mini-album Lemon Tang, released in June, sold 592,312 copies in its first week. Their first half-million seller. They followed with album track 15-LOVE as a follow-up promotions single. Carmen also won the K World Dream Solo Popularity Award (fan-voted) at the 2026 K World Dream Awards in August.

(She placed 3rd in a TenAsia reader poll — running October 8–14 — for "female singer you'd want to go on an autumn picnic with," behind Wendy of Red Velvet and Girls' Generation's Yuri. Solid company.)

Three tracks charting at once in a market this crowded. The Indonesia numbers are the clearest proof yet that Hearts2Hearts' Southeast Asia footprint is real.
