Katseye (pronounced “cat’s eye”; stylized in all caps) is a girl group based in Los Angeles, United States. The group is composed of six members: Daniela, Lara, Manon, Megan, Sophia, and Yoonchae. With members from the Philippines, South Korea, Switzerland, and the United States, Katseye is often described as a “global girl group”.

The group was formed through the 2023 reality competition series Dream Academy, a collaboration between Hybe Corporation and Geffen Records. The group’s formation process was later chronicled in the Netflix docuseries Popstar Academy: Katseye, which recounted the audition process, intensive training, and formation of the group. Katseye debuted in June 2024 with the single “Debut”, followed by their breakthrough single, “Touch”. They released their first extended play (EP), SIS (Soft Is Strong), later that year. In April 2025, they released “Gnarly” which, despite receiving mixed reactions on release, garnered significant attention and earned the group their first entry on the Billboard Hot 100. Their second EP, Beautiful Chaos, released in June 2025, debuted at number 4 on the Billboard 200, their highest-charting release to date.

In an interview with InStyle, group member Sophia explained that the name Katseye is derived from the gemstone chrysoberyl, specifically its cymophane variety, which is commonly known as “cat’s eye” due to its distinctive optical effect where light appears to shift and reflect differently when viewed from various angles.

This symbolism was chosen to represent the members’ diverse personalities, talents, and multinational backgrounds. The group was initially planned to be named “Catseye,” but during an interview with LA radio station KIIS-FM, it was revealed that Lara suggested altering the spelling to “Katseye,” which the members felt gave the name a more distinctive and stylized appearance.

Several members of Katseye had experience in professional dance, television, and the entertainment industry before debuting with the group. Sophia, born to Filipino musical theatre actress Carla Guevara Laforteza, began singing at age three, and later made a television appearance on the game show Family Feud Philippines as a contestant in 2022. Daniela began competitive dancesport at age three, and notably appeared on America’s Got Talent season 8 in 2013, and became a Top 10 finalist on So You Think You Can Dance: The Next Generation in 2016.

Lara, under the stage name Lara Raj, began acting and singing at an early age, featuring in a campaign video for Michelle Obama’s Global Girls Alliance, an initiative for the Obama Foundation in 2018. Swiss-born Manon gained popularity through short-form video content on TikTok and Instagram, where she posted fashion and lifestyle clips beginning in 2021. She also pursued modeling work in Switzerland. Yoonchae was a K-pop trainee since 2020.

Formal preparations for the group began in November 2021, when Hybe and Geffen Records launched a worldwide audition process for a girl group with “contestants from around the world”, as part of the joint venture Hybe x Geffen Records. With auditions held across South Korea, the United States, Japan, and the United Kingdom in 2022, the partnership aimed to create a group that would “transcend national, cultural, and artistic boundaries”.

In an interview with the Korea JoongAng Daily, Hybe founder Bang Si-hyuk expressed his intentions to promote the resultant group to the American market. From more than 120,000 applicants, twenty contestants were selected to participate in the reality competition series The Debut: Dream Academy, which determined the final lineup through a series of performance-based missions. Prior to the series premiere, the contestants were trained for a year in Los Angeles, California, through methods prevalent in the Korean idol trainee system.

The release of the group’s first EP was set for August 2024, following the release of two singles in June and July. For the EP, Katseye collaborated with several songwriters and producers, including Ryan Tedder and Omer Fedi. The first of the two singles for the EP, “Debut”, was released on June 28, with a music video filmed in Medellín, Colombia, directed by Gregory Ohrel. The single is an upbeat pop track that explores themes of confidence and sisterhood in reference to the members’ bond as a group.

It was met with a lukewarm response commercially, with the music video for the single receiving 2.33 million views in three days, underperforming the viewership of music releases of Korean acts in a similar timeframe. The second single, “Touch”, was released on July 26. The melodic drum and bass R&B track discusses the “complexity of love” and deviates from the sound of “Debut”, emphasizing the members’ vocals. The single ranked at number 22 on the Billboard Bubbling Under Hot 100 chart and entered the Billboard Philippines Hot 100 chart. “Touch” attained further success after its choreography went viral as a dance challenge on the video-sharing platform TikTok in September 2024.

The full EP, titled SIS (Soft Is Strong), was released on August 16. With five tracks, the EP debuted at number 119 on the Billboard 200 as Katseye landed atop the Emerging Artists chart. In support of the EP, the group embarked on an Asian tour, which began in South Korea on September 12. Megan would refrain from touring from September 21, owing to her back injury. On November 14, Katseye released “Flame”, the theme song for the Netflix animated series Jentry Chau vs. The Underworld.
