The all-American girl "K-pop" group, Katseye, is set to debut this summer! The collaboration between HYBE UMG and Geffen Records just released their debut single "Debut" with lyrics and choreography! Let's dive into this highly-anticipated debut!
Formed from the reality series Dream Academy, Katseye comprises six members: Manon, Sophia, Daniela, Lara, Megan, and Yoonchae. The first-place winner and leader of the group is Sophia and the youngest (maknae) is Yoonchae (born in 2007). Let's get to know each member more with this introduction video!
Set to debut on August 16, 2024, Katseye's first EP, "SIS" (Soft Is Strong), will feature two singles before the album's release. Their first single M/V, "Debut", already has a lyric and choreography video and has garnered over 2.5 million views on YouTube in just 4 days! Let's take a look at all three!
Described by Katseye member, Daniella, as "American pop music but trained to do crazy choreography of K-pop", Katseye boasts diversity in the group's lineup with four of the members (Indian, Filipino, Black, and Latina) becoming the first of their ethnicities to be signed under HYBE.
Katseye also debut their official fandom name in a very simple but sincere video! Welcome "EYEKONS"!
Katseye will also be featured in a Netflix documentary Pop Star Academy: Katseye this summer! It will dive deep into the group's formation and preparations for their debut EP.
We're not sure whether to call Katseye "K-pop", "American Pop," or just "Global Pop" in general, but maybe you can help and suggest the name of their genre in the comments below! Are you excited for their debut?
