Stella (스텔라) spent her school years in Canada before debuting with Hearts2Hearts. When the agency revealed the members on 5 February 2025, it introduced her as playing guitar and drums. On JTBC’s Knowing Bros (아는 형님), broadcast on 14 March 2026, she said, “I used to live in Canada, and I wanted to be an announcer at CNN,” and tried out an English interview on Kim Hee-chul and Seo Jang-hoon (Topstar News).
At the debut showcase she explained that the first single The Chase carries “the confidence of ‘I will make my own path myself’”, and said of TVXQ’s Max Changmin, “It was only briefly, but he came over and cheered us on, and I was so grateful” (Newsen). She named her first music show as the most memorable moment after the debut: “It was my first time even going to a broadcasting station. I grew my dream watching our seniors’ stages on music shows, and I was so happy to stand on that stage myself” (Break News).
Stella’s English narration runs through ‘Chapter1. How2getHearts’, the mood sampler released ahead of the first mini album FOCUS (bnt News). With the February 2026 single RUDE!, dance-challenge videos built on her English narration part in the middle of the song and its point choreography poured out (Nocut News).
At SMTOWN LIVE at Rajamangala National Stadium in Bangkok on 14 February 2026, she performed ‘DESSERT’, a new three-person stage with Girls’ Generation’s Hyoyeon and WayV’s Yangyang (OSEN). On 8 March she was a special MC on SBS’s Inkigayo with Ian, and on 4 July she co-hosted MBC’s Show! Music Core with Yuha and A-na (Topstar News). At 2026 SBS Gayo Daejeon Summer on 9 August she took the stage in the special unit ‘SUMMER ANJELS’ with Ian, Anna and Ella of MEOVV, and izna’s Bang Jee-min (Star Daily News, bnt News).
The way she approaches the stage changed over the first year. Asked by Newsen what she had learned most in the year since her debut, she answered: how to enjoy the stage. “If at the start I was very nervous and focused only on the camera, now I think I’ve learned to communicate with the audience and enjoy it.” On 22 June, the day the second mini album Lemon Tang came out, she recalled the crowds singing along at university festivals and said, “I’d like to do a world tour where we can meet S2U all over the world” (TV Daily).
On 28 April she was appointed, with Yuha, as a 2026 ambassador for the Maeil Business Newspaper and MBN’s M Clean campaign (Maeil Business Newspaper). On her birthday, 18 June, she donated 30 million won to Samsung Medical Center, to be used for the treatment costs of young patients whose families are struggling financially. “I wanted to share the love I received from fans in a meaningful way,” Stella said, adding, “I want to keep on giving from now on” (Joy News 24).
