Titan Content has secured a groundbreaking partnership with Republic Records’ Imperial Music division, marking a significant move in the K-pop industry. This collaboration is centered around Titan Content’s highly anticipated new K-pop girl group, AtHeart, whose complete lineup has now been unveiled. The group’s first teaser video has also been dropped, and their official social media channels are now live, building excitement among fans. AtHeart is set to make their official debut this summer, but audiences won’t have to wait that long to get a taste of their music. A pre-debut introduction song and video are scheduled to release on March 14, offering an early glimpse into the group’s talent and style.
AtHeart consists of seven members: Michi, Katelyn, Seohyeon, Aurora, Bome, Arin, and Nahyun. Each of these artists brings their own unique energy and talent to the table, creating a dynamic and diverse group that is sure to captivate fans. The lineup reflects Titan Content’s commitment to assembling a team of performers who are not only skilled but also capable of resonating with a global audience. With their summer debut on the horizon, AtHeart is poised to make a significant impact in the K-pop scene, blending fresh sounds and innovative concepts with the polished production that Imperial Music is known for.
The partnership between Titan Content and Imperial Music is a strategic move that highlights the growing influence of K-pop on the global music landscape. Imperial Music, launched in 2021, has quickly become a powerhouse in the industry, with an impressive track record that includes over 30 million adjusted albums sold and 23 Top 10 albums on the Billboard 200 chart. Among these successes are six No. 1 albums from Stray Kids and chart-topping releases from Twice and Tomorrow X Together. This partnership not only strengthens Titan Content’s position as a rising player in the K-pop space but also underscores Imperial Music’s continued dominance in nurturing and promoting global stars.
Titan Content, which launched in November 2023 as the first premier K-pop-focused music company based in the U.S., is led by industry veteran Nikki Semin Han, formerly the CEO of SM Entertainment. Han has assembled a stellar team, including CEO Katie Kang, Chief Business Officer Dom Rodriguez, Chief Visual Officer Guiom Lee, and Chief Performance Officer Lia Kim. Together, they have brought a fresh perspective to K-pop, blending traditional elements with modern creativity. The company’s vision for AtHeart is bold and ambitious, aiming to push the boundaries of what K-pop can achieve on a global scale.
The partnership has been met with enthusiasm from both sides. Glenn Mendlinger, Executive Vice President of Republic Records and President of Imperial Music, expressed his excitement about the collaboration, stating, “When we first heard the music, we immediately knew it was special. Nikki, Dom, Katie, and the Titan leadership are a formidable team with a deep understanding of artist development. They have put a fresh lens on K-pop and, alongside Imperial Music’s expertise, we have tremendous aspirations and opportunity.” Similarly, Katie Kang highlighted the alignment between Titan Content and Imperial Music, noting, “The team at Imperial has an incredible track record of developing global stars, and their unparalleled expertise makes them the ideal partner for this venture. Our vision for AtHeart is perfectly aligned, and we deeply respect their commitment to excellence and innovation. Together, we’re ready to break new ground and shape the future of K-pop.”
As AtHeart prepares for their summer debut, fans can follow the group’s journey through their newly launched social media channels. These platforms will provide a glimpse into the members’ personalities, creativity, and preparation as they gear up for what promises to be one of the most anticipated K-pop debuts of 2025. AtHeart’s introduction is not just about the music; it’s about creating a connection with fans and building a community that will support the group every step of the way. With the backing of Imperial Music and the innovative approach of Titan Content, AtHeart is set to make waves in the K-pop world and beyond.
