Katseye, a multinational girl group under the powerhouse Korean music label Hybe, are beginning their journey to create music that transcends the boundaries of K-pop, with the goal of captivating a broader global audience.
Formed through the TV audition programme The Debut: Dream Academy, which attracted over 120,000 applicants from all over the world, Katseye is the first joint project between K-pop giant Hybe and Geffen Records from the United States.
The group stands out as Hybe’s first US-based girl group, designed from the outset to target a global audience, and formed through the rigorous training process typical of K-pop.
Making the first official visit to Korea since their debut, the group shared their experiences and aspirations this week.
