Who are the members of KATSEYE? How was it formed?
HYBE girl group KATSEYE was formed in collaboration with Geffen Records through a global audition Dream Academy, which drew 120,000 participants. Since then KATSEYE has built a global fanbase, especially across North America, Latin America, and Europe, in just under two years. The group has charted many of their songs on Billboard’s Hot 100, per Korea Herald, with their current track Pinky Up, released April 9, debuting at No. 28 on the chart. The song, however, at the moment ranks at No. 76. The group originally debuted with six members: Daniela, Lara, Megan, Sophia, Yoonchae, and Manon, however, Manon has been on hiatus since February for health reasons.
