Facts About ToHeart
ToHeart Debut
Woohyun is a member of INFINITE, and Key is a member of SHINee. They joined as a duo called ToHeart. They released a mini album titled The 1st Mini Album on March 10, 2014. After the long-awaited joint subunit between SHINee and INFINITE, ToHeart finally released its first mini album. With their debut song “Delicious,” Woohyun and Key tried to present something fresh. The ToHeart project is arguably a secret project carried out by INFINITE’s management, Woollim Label, and SHINee’s management, SM Entertainment. The idea for a duet of these two friends also came from each of its members. This is the first inter-group subunit between SM Entertainment and Woollim Label. Of course, this is possible considering that Woollim is now under the management of SM C&C which is none other than a subsidiary of SM Entertainment. The songs on the album ToHeart talk a lot about love. The title song “Delicious” tells about the struggle for a woman by Key and Woohyun with lyrics that they pride themselves on. With a fast, upbeat beat, “Delicious” can be very easily liked by K-pop music lovers. The lyrics “Come on girl, love is so nutritious. Come on girl, love is so delicious” was sung over and over again so that it easily stuck in the listener’s head. However, ToHeart’s music style and the genre still sound similar to SHINee’s music style. ToHeart does not present a musical concept that makes it different from the group where Key belongs. Most of the songs on the ToHeart album sound similar to the songs sung by SHINee. Apart from that, some of the songwriters on this album have indeed composed songs for SHINee and also INFINITE. “Delicious” is a collaboration between Sweetune and Sean Alexander who previously wrote the songs “Man in Love,” INFINITE’s “The Chaser,” and SHINee’s “Amigo.” The 1st Mini Album contains six songs including one song called “Miro,” the result of their collaboration with MC Jae-yoon.
