HOW2GET HEARTS ── ❝ ⠈ ˖̑ chapter 1 ‘est. 2025 PRETTY GIRL MIYU isn’t unknown to k-pop fans, especially those who like survival shows . . . who is she, and how did she go from R U NEXT to Hearts2Hearts?
⸻ stella : ❝ why’d they name you a miyu ... ? ❞
I’M NOT BAD ▬▬▬ 🍀🏩💭 ࣪ ೃ ˖ MALOU / marie-lauren grace harper, or malou, is an 18 ── year old singer ( * november of 2007 ) best known for her time as a contestant on the south korean reality survival show “R U Next?” the american idol who had spent her childhood years in california, moved to seoul at 12 with the intention of becoming a trainee under source music and possibly debuting as an idol under the label. after all, the label had produced GFRIEND, one of the best 3rd gen girl groups in history. it was supposed to be a quick thing, get in, work hard, debut. psst … i'll let you in on a secret: it wasn't. malou had found herself in a label limbo, being transferred from source to ador, to ador to be:lift, and eventually out of hybe completely to join sm. the funny thing about her transfer to sm was that she didn’t have to. she’d won R U NEXT and was supposed to debut in a group called ILLIT as the 6th member. why’d she opt out? because hybe lacked in the morals department in a way disinterested her completely. while sm was barely any better … they could be bullied into shape. that’s when she finally debuted as miyu, the main dancer of hearts2hearts.
_♥︎˖̑͡ ٫ ﹙ MALOU ﹚ marie-lauren isn’t modern. she knew that and so did everyone else. you didn’t need to say it out loud … but someone always did. her teachers especially. the ones who looked like they’d lived through at least three different decades of disappointment. they’d pause during attendance, squint a little, like her name was something that needed to be dusted off to see. like it was something fragile or outdated. it wasn’t fun being the girl with the old name. not vintage or classic. just … old. not even the kind of old that circles back to being cool. so she tried to fix it. grace was an option. but grace sounded like someone who baked bread from scratch and forgave too easily. harper was worse. harper looked good on some girls … gingers. she couldn’t stand in front of a mirror and call herself by that name. it felt like lying in a way that made her skin itch. so she cried about it. more than once, which was embarrassing but very important. names stick. names decide things before you even open your mouth. eventually, after too many google searches and one specific breakdown, she found something. nothing new or trendy, but still hers. malou. it didn’t feel borrowed or like she was pretending, it felt like something that had been waiting for her to notice it. she didn’t have to try hard to believe she could fit that name. she liked malou. she liked malou a lot.
🐈⬛𓈒ିֺꨄ ׄ﹙ MIYU ﹚ miyu is just a stage name. that’s what they told her, at least. like it was something light and insignificant, like you could take the name off and put another one on and it wouldn’t stick to your skin. it was handed to her by H2H’s creative director like a tiara. not asked or discussed. placed. she thought it was cute, seriously! and the other’s did, too. jiwoo said it matched her face — something about soft features, cat-like, and quiet. ian laughed and said she was jealous, that she wished someone had handed her something that pretty. and malou, miyu, just smiled. because what else are you supposed to do when something is given to you like that. there was only one person who didn’t leave it alone. stella. not jealous - that would’ve been easier. just … curious. the kind of curious that makes you feel like you missed something obvious. because it didn’t make sense. not really. idols with foreign names usually keep them. that’s the whole point. it makes them stand out. and if they don’t have one, they’re usually given one. usually something awkward and in english. but she already had something. everyone knew her as malou — from R U Next?, from before, from everything. it made no sense to change it. unless … you weren’t thinking about her. miyu . . . miumiu . . . Miu Miu. it wasn’t said out loud and no one had written it down, but it sat there anywhere. there was a plan, or a prayer, that someone would pick her up. sign her just because it made sense on paper. miyu, because it could be worth something. and she still thought it was cute.
you see, despite everything she went through to find the right name for herself ( quite a bit ) she couldn’t care less what people call her in and outside of the idol world. why? because she knows who she is, and that’s a lot more some other idols can say for themselves. to be miyu on stage doesn’t require her to give up being malou around friends, family, and on her own time. the most important thing you can be as an idol is balanced!
❶ malou had been under HYBE for so long it started to feel permanent. like one of those things you don’t question anymore. like bad lighting in practice rooms. she auditioned for source music back when hybe was still trying to prove something. she had a plan. first girl group. first impression. first everything. that didn’t happen. it didn’t even almost happen. instead, someone else noticed her. not in a loud,“you’re next” way. more like — you. come here. ❷ min hee-jin didn’t build things halfway. everyone knew that. she had a vision so specific it made bang si-hyuk uncomfortable. so malou moved on. new label, new her. ador. for a second it felt right. she wasn’t alone there. there were other girls. five of them, eventually. the kind you don’t expect to get attached to until you already are. they were building something. soft, strange, and perfect in a way that didn’t look forced. and malou fit into it. she did. until she didn’t. ➌ it came down to something small. something stupid. something no one could argue against without sounding difficult. visuals. hers and Youngseo’s were too similar. too soft, feline, and overlapping. two of the same thing makes one of them unnecessary. and malou was the one that became unnecessary. they didn’t say it like that. they said things like timing and balance and future opportunities. but she still had to watch NewJeans debut without her. still had to smile at them. hug them a d mean it. because she loved them, and that was the worst part. she told herself it wasn’t over. that this was just… a detour. so they moved her again. like she was something easy to relocate.
➍ BELIFT LAB. another room full of girls pretending not to be scared. not a lot of people lined up for that. after I-LAND, everyone knew what it came with. pressure. editing. humiliation if you weren’t careful. malou didn’t care. she didn’t watch it. she thought it would be fine. maybe even fun. it wasn’t. being a trainee was already hard. people were sharp. schedules were worse. now imagine that, but with an audience. thousands of people watching you breathe wrong - decide they don’t like your face, your voice, your existence - and then commit to that opinion like it’s a full-time job. it changed something. ➎ not dramatically or all at once. just enough. by the time the finale came, she already knew. when they called her name — ILLIT — she didn’t feel excited. she felt … done. so she left. no contract. no long goodbyes or pretending. just no. people thought that was impulsive. self-sabotage. stupid, even. it wasn’t, either because HYBE had never really felt like hers. not when she started. not when she almost debuted. not even when she made it. and there was something else. something quieter waiting. ➏ SM Entertainment. they’d been watching. not loudly, and not officially. just enough. meetings that didn’t feel like meetings. conversations that lasted a little too long to be casual. doors that stayed open, so when she walked away, she wasn’t falling. she was choosing. SM didn’t try to reshape her. not at first. they just… let her exist. watched what she did with it. and for the first time, she didn’t feel like she was trying to fit into something already finished. she felt like something was being built around her. ➐ Hearts2Hearts wasn’t an accident. it wasn’t a backup plan. it wasn’t something she settled for. it was the first time someone looked at everything she had been — everything she almost was — and said, “no, keep that. we’ll start from there.”
ㅤ🗯️🧁˖̑͡ ॖ 🌊 fandom ﹕⠀ᜊ NERDS ꒱ while participating in R U Next? malou became infamous for referring to everyone as nerds. knowing that, supporters of her decided to adopt the insult as their official fandom name; they're usually identifiable by putting﹙ NERDY ﹚in the beginning of their username.
