The early releases are friendly and hook-first; the later ones get bolder, and the group has changed how it presents itself remarkably fast.

Touch MVTouch is the friendliest way in — soft melody, light footwork, and the best place to learn the faces.
Gabriela MVGabriela is the signature, latin-leaning and staged like a short film.
Gnarly MVGnarly divided people, which is exactly why it shows the group refusing to stay pleasant.1 daesang · 3 awards (compiled by KPOP DISCOVER, as of September 17, 2026)

KATSEYE came out of Dream Academy, the audition project HYBE and Geffen Records set up together, forming in 2023 as a six-member group. The members have roots in the Philippines, Switzerland, the United States and Korea, and the group sits where Korean-style training volume meets English-language pop without a seam. Debut opened things in June 2024, Touch followed the next month, and the 1st EP SIS (Soft Is Strong) in August of that year fixed a direction that treats friendship and self-belief lightly rather than shouting them.
If the choice is hard, Touch is the natural place to start. A short hook that sticks, bright group dance and the face of each member all arrive at once. Moving on to the 2nd EP BEAUTIFUL CHAOS from 2025, the change of colour is startling enough that it hardly sounds like the same act. Gnarly is the first proof that cute alone had been let go, with quirks in the sound, the imagery and the words clearly apart from what came before. Gabriela layers the heat of Latin pop over drama-shaped visuals and, paired with the Performance Video, became a worldwide talking point.
PINKY UP opened a visually sharper chapter in 2026, and WILD was released in August. Exposure on global stages including Coachella has grown, and the position of an English-language girl group adjacent to K-pop has come into focus. Touch, then Gabriela, then PINKY UP runs from a bright entry through Latin heat to the sharper new chapter.
Editors' take Touch / Gabriela / PINKY UP — the path from soft to sharp in three songs, from the six-member group built by HYBE and Geffen Records.
