Toheart (Korean : 투하트; RR : Tuhateu, commonly stylized as ToHeart) was a South Korean duo formed by Woohyun from Infinite and Key from Shinee in 2014. It was a collaboration between SM Entertainment and Woollim Entertainment. [1]
"At first, we were going to go with names like "Woohyun and Key" or "Key and Woohyun", but it felt like a once in a lifetime thing. We made another name to represent that we'll continue to work as a team in the future and put out good music."
–Member Woohyun discussing the group's name. [2]
