Rising global girl group KATSEYE—featuring Daniela (Cuban/Venezuelan-American, Atlanta, GA), Lara (Indian, New York, NY), Manon (Ghanaian-Italian, Zurich, Switzerland), Megan (Chinese-American, Honolulu, HI), Sophia (from Manila, Philippines), and Yoonchae (Seoul, South Korea)—is set to take the stage at the 2025 Kids’ Choice Awards on June 20 with a live performance of their breakout single, “Gnarly.”

Already a streaming sensation, “Gnarly” has surpassed 100 million global streams, earning praise for its bold, unpredictable sound. The FADER called it, “abrasive, camp, totally chaotic,” naming it a contender for Song of the Summer 2025.

The buzz around “Gnarly” has only grown with two dynamic remixes: one featuring Ice Spice, and another with Lara (of KATSEYE), Lancey Foux, and Slush Puppy. The remixes earned a spot on Rolling Stone’s “Songs You Need to Know” list, while Billboard proclaimed, “KATSEYE Heats Up ‘Gnarly’ Summer with Ice Spice Remix.”

Following a chart-topping debut with their 2024 EP SIS (Soft Is Strong)—which launched at No. 1 on Billboard’s Emerging Artists and Heatseekers Albums charts—KATSEYE returns with a bold new project, BEAUTIFUL CHAOS. The EP explores the blurred lines between digital and real-life girlhood in the modern era. As PAPER describes, “It’s a messy distillation of the group’s buzzing energy… KATSEYE are ready to lean into their own distinct POV.” Wonderland echoed the sentiment, writing, “They’re taking over the pop world.”

Named a 2025 Artist to Watch by both VEVO DSCVR and TIDAL, and currently nominated for two iHeartRadio Music Awards, KATSEYE is the first global girl group created under the rigorous K-pop training model. The group’s origin was chronicled through HYBE and Geffen Records’ groundbreaking Dream Academy project, and later captured in the Netflix docuseries, Pop Star Academy: KATSEYE.

The group recently graced the cover of Teen Vogue (May/June issue) and announced brand collaborations with Glossier and Urban Outfitters, cementing their status as both pop and fashion trailblazers.
