  "account": "On October 18, Yoonchae, Megan, Lara, and Daniela of KATSEYE took center stage at the 2026 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, infusing their own energy into the event with a performance that paid homage to the brand’s new Pink collection. Just moments after Tate McRae wrapped up her performance, the four singer-dancers entered the stage from the audience, ready to take on the Pink-themed spectacle. Sporting custom pink-and-black bustiers and miniskirts, the KATSEYE ladies ignited the audience with the high-energy beats of “Pinky Up,” backed by a troupe of dancers who helped them execute flawless choreography.\n\nFollowing a brief respite, Yoonchae, Megan, Lara, and Daniela made a triumphant return to the runway for their rendition of “Animal,” with the screens announcing them as the \"PINK Class of 2026.\" After bidding farewell, the quartet did a spectacular model walk, holding their own alongside the professional catwalkers. Earlier in the show, Megan Thee Stallion dazzled in a bejeweled bra and angel wings while delivering a rap set of \"Body.\" Earlier in the evening, Megan Moroney captivated the audience as she donned furry pink wings and strummed a pink guitar while performing her tracks \"6 Months Later\" and \"Wish I Didn’t.\" Tate McRae appeared in smoldering red lingerie to showcase her new single \"Housewife.\"\n\nBoth \"Pinky Up\" and \"Animal\" are featured on KATSEYE’s 2026 EP, WILD, which made history by debuting at the top of the Billboard 200 chart in August, marking the group’s first-ever No. 1 on the chart. The tracks peaked at Nos. 28 and 24 on the Billboard Hot 100, respectively. KATSEYE’s presence at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show is part of their ongoing engagement, despite the absence of two key members. Manon has been on hiatus since February, and Sophia announced in August that she would step away temporarily to focus on her mental health. However, the present members of KATSEYE, Yoonchae, Megan, Lara, and Daniela, provided an update on Sophia’s return, expressing their pride and admiration for her brave decision to prioritize her well-being.",
