KATSEYE Reflects on Rapid Rise and Challenges Since Debut in 2024

Global girl group KATSEYE sat down with Associated Press entertainment journalist Liam McEwan to reflect on a whirlwind year since their June 2024 debut — from their viral Gap campaign to navigating social media and embracing authenticity. Lara, Sophia, Megan, Daniela, Manon, and Yoonchae open up about leaning on each other through their nonstop rise, the pride and pressure of representing diverse cultures, and their hunger for bolder concepts. They share laughs about pre-debut "lore," polarizing tracks like “Gnarly,” and the unbreakable sisterhood that turned strangers into family.
