HYBE and Geffen Records' global girl group KATSEYE is visiting Korea again to spend special time with fans.
According to HYBE and Geffen Records on the 18th, KATSEYE will hold a fan signing event in Seoul on the 22nd. It has been about three months since they appeared on domestic music broadcasts after releasing 'Gnarly' in April. At that time, they noted, "We thought that Korea was the best place to realize and showcase new music, concepts, visuals, and performances on stage," opening the curtain on their new song activities and drawing explosive responses.
This visit to Korea is all the more anticipated as it follows the successful conclusion of their second EP 'BEAUTIFUL CHAOS' and a large festival stage. Although no appearances on music broadcasts are planned, KATSEYE intends to have meaningful time in Korea with a short but packed schedule that includes a fan signing event and filming for future activities.
Earlier on the 17th, KATSEYE showcased global hit songs such as 'Gnarly', 'Gabriela', and 'Touch' at the 'Summer Sonic 2025' held in Tokyo, Japan, thrilling tens of thousands of spectators. The dance break of 'Gabriela', restructured with lively Latin rhythms and movements, highlighted KATSEYE's charm and overwhelmed the venue.
They have also shown their true colors at the largest music festival in the U.S., 'Lollapalooza Chicago.' American magazine Cosmopolitan selected KATSEYE's performance as the 2nd best among "the top 5 Lollapalooza stages of the year," and Hypebae praised, "The center of attention at Lollapalooza 2025 was KATSEYE," acknowledging the energy of the members.
Global chart achievements are also notable. The second EP 'BEAUTIFUL CHAOS' reached 4th place on the Billboard main album chart 'Billboard 200' (as of July 12), while 'Gabriela' and 'Gnarly' entered the Billboard main single chart 'Hot 100' side by side. Recently, they surpassed 25 million monthly listeners on Spotify, continuing a steep growth trend.
KATSEYE is a 6-member global girl group born through HYBE and Geffen Records' joint audition 'The Debut: Dream Academy.' By incorporating the 'K-pop production system' and localization strategies, they have expanded their fandom beyond the U.S. to the world, establishing themselves as the 'next pop icon.'
