A Timeline of KATSEYE’s Lineup, From Forming on ‘Dream Academy’ to Hiatuses
The six members have been through a lot since debuting in 2023.
In 2023, KATSEYE, a girl group with origins in the music industry's first "global" girl group, came to life. HYBE x Geffen, known for producing K-pop sensations like BTS and ENHYPEN, selected six out of tens of thousands of applicants from various countries and backgrounds to participate in a web show called "Dream Academy." This group, which included Sophia from the Philippines, Manon from Switzerland, and Yoonchae from South Korea, among others, was set to bring worldwide appeal to the music scene.
Despite the group's initial success with hits such as "Gnarly," "Gabriela," and "Pinky Up," HYBE x Geffen had to announce multiple times that one or more members needed to take a break from the band. The demanding schedule of rehearsals, recording sessions, and performances was evidently taxing. The future of KATSEYE's membership remains uncertain, even in a temporary capacity, but fans can rest assured that EYEKONs will be there to support the group through these changes.
