Hartswave Set to Make Official Debut with 'The First Wave' Mini Album

The band Hartswave is gearing up for their official debut on the 8th. Hartswave boasts a unique lineup where every member can take on the role of the frontman.

Hartswave was formed with members who each secured the top position in their respective categories on Mnet's survival program 'Steel Heart Club.' The band consists of keyboardist Yoon Young-jun, vocalist Lian, bassist Dane, guitarist K-Ten, and drummer Hagiwaga.

Their first mini album, 'The First Wave,' set to release on the 8th, includes a total of six tracks. The title track 'NINETEEN' features lyrics contributed by all members. The track 'Eoribori' is a self-composed piece by Lian and Dane. The physical album will be available in three versions: hrtz, wav, and slogan.

Hartswave will unveil their album at 6 PM on the 8th and hold a fan showcase at 8 PM at the Oil Tank Culture Park in Mapo-gu, Seoul. They plan to promote their debut through TV appearances and live performances.

Despite being pre-debut, they have already secured spots in both domestic and international music festivals. They are set to perform at the '2026 Awesome Music Festival' in April and 'KCON JAPAN 2026' in May.
