KATSEYE’s Megan Shows Off Bruised Ankle After Sprain Forced Group to Drop Out of Daisy Chain Fields

After KATSEYE's lead singer Megan suffered a sprained ankle, halting the girl group's participation in the Daisy Chain Fields festival, the star shared images of her bruised and swollen left foot on social media. During a Tuesday (Sept. 1) chat with bandmates Yoonchae and Lara in a hotel room, Megan remarked, "I have to show a picture," noting that her ankle was as swollen as a tennis ball.

She proceeded to display photos of her injured left foot, which was a vivid purple and considerably larger than her uninjured right. The band subsequently announced their withdrawal from Olivia Rodrigo's charity festival in Irvine, Calif., scheduled for Aug. 29. In her Instagram Story, Megan expressed her disappointment at missing the event, stating that she had been advised by her doctors to avoid further strain on her ankle to ensure a swift recovery.

Despite missing Daisy Chain Fields, KATSEYE's members made a brief appearance to welcome Baby2Baby, a charity benefiting from the festival's proceeds. The band has since embarked on the Wildworld Tour, with only four of the six original members performing, as Manon and Sophia have been absent from the group since February and August, respectively.

KATSEYE's debut EP, WILD, debuted at the top of the Billboard 200 chart, marking their first-ever No. 1 on the list.
