This is made special with the diversity of its members who came from different parts of the world, like the United States, Switzerland, Korea, and the Philippines.
Take a look at this gallery and learn more about the global girl group taking over the music scene, KATSEYE:
KATSEYE is a six-member girl group composed of Sophia, Manon, Daniela, Lara, Megan, and Yoonchae. They debuted on June 28, 2024, with the single “Debut.” They call their fans EYEKONS.
Thanks to the collaboration project between Geffen Records and K-pop label HYBE, KATSEYE came to life through the survival show 'The Debut: Dream Academy.'
KATSEYE skyrocketed to fame when they released their second single “Touch” on July 26, 2024. It currently has over 47 million plays on Spotify alone.
While the song itself was catchy already, what captivated the fans in KATSEYE's “Touch” was its choreography that focused on hand movements and being cute on camera.
Numerous K-pop and international artists have danced to “Touch” like SEVENTEEN's Hoshi, LE SSERAFIM's Yunjin, BINI, and USHER.
KATSEYE officially released their first extended play titled 'SIS (Sis Is Strong) on August 16, 2024. It included their debut song “Debut” and viral track “Touch,” alongside three tracks: “My Way,” “I'm Pretty,” and “Tonight I Might.”
Last August 21, fans learned more about KATSEYE through the Netflix documentary 'Pop Star Academy: KATSEYE.' It is still available on the streaming app and tells the story of the members who worked through HYBE and Geffen Records' survival show.
True to the words of 'Pop Star Academy: KATSEYE,' the girl group really took the “K” out of “K-pop” and made it global because of the reach they have right now. Not only are they a talented bunch of artists; but they also promote diversity with members from the United States, Switzerland, Korea, and the Philippines.
The Philippines fans stood with pride when Filipina talent Sophia Laforteza won first place in 'The Debut: Dream Academy' and made it to the lineup of KATSEYE. She is also the group's leader.
Another thing that fans love about KATSEYE is their online promotion because they hop on trends, communicate with fans really well, and show certified Gen Z energies.
KATSEYE stepped on the Philippine stage on September 18, 2024, at the Market! Market! Activity Center for its showcase, which Filipino EYEKONS loved.
Thanks to KATSEYE's talents, their popularity reached the fashion scene. In 2024, KATSEYE became the face of Coach's newest campaign with Seoul-based functional street style label Matin Kim.
Luxury brand Fendi also tapped KATSEYE to be the face of its “Fendi For Yourself” campaign.
KATSEYE continued to conquer the music scene with back-to-back-to-back performances on major events and platforms like Kiss 108's Jingle Ball, NTV 2024 Music Awards, CDTV, MTV, and more.
KATSEYE was also announced as one of the performers for this year's Lollapalooza event. They are joining the world's biggest artists today, like Olivia Rodrigo, Sabrina Carpenter, TWICE, and more.
