Inside KATSEYE on ‘Tonight Show’: Their Wild ‘Animal’ TV Debut, Thanking Fans for ‘Support’ During Sophia & Manon Hiatus (Exclusive Photos)
The current quartet return to 'The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon' to make their late-night performance debut.
KATSEYE, the global girl group, is set to release their new album Wild on Friday. However, they made their television performance debut on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Wednesday, August 12. Billboard was present at Studio 6B during their visit, where KATSEYE also participated in a sit-down interview in February. This time, they performed their latest single "Animal," a co-written hit with Ed Sheeran that debuted in the top 10 of the Billboard Global 200.
Lara expressed that the spirit of Ed is alive in "Animal." The lineup of KATSEYE has undergone changes, with two members, Manon and Sophia, taking hiatuses to prioritize their mental health. The remaining quartet, consisting of Lara, Daniela, Yoonchae, and Megan, expressed their gratitude to their fanbase, the EYEKONS, for their continuous support during the lineup changes.
During the visit, KATSEYE also appeared in Fallon's monologue, filling in for various members of the Tonight Show crew, including Black Thought, Steve Higgins, Hank, and even Jimmy Fallon himself. Matthew McConaughey was also a guest on the show that night, where he performed a bluegrass cover of Ella Langley's massive Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hit, "Choosin’ Texas."
KATSEYE will air on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon at 11:35 p.m. ET/PT tonight on NBC and will be available to stream the following day on Peacock.
