The debut EP SIS (Soft Is Strong) introduced “Debut” and “Touch,” while the 2025 EP BEAUTIFUL CHAOS expanded the group’s global chart reach through “Gnarly,” “Gabriela” and “Gameboy.” KATSEYE later received Grammy nominations for Best New Artist and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for “Gabriela.”
MANON began a temporary hiatus in February 2026. SOPHIA also announced a temporary hiatus in August 2026 and did not participate in the opening European and UK dates of THE WILDWORLD TOUR. KATSEYE’s official member page continues to list all six members, and scheduled group activities have continued with the members available for each appearance.
The third EP WILD was released on August 14, 2026 through HYBE x Geffen Records. It debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, KATSEYE’s first chart-topper there. During the same chart week, “Animal,” “Hootie Frutti,” “PINKY UP” and the collaboration “ICONIC BY MISTAKE” all appeared on the Billboard Hot 100.
KATSEYE launched THE WILDWORLD TOUR on September 1, 2026 in Dublin. The arena tour continues across Europe and North America through November 2026.
