ABOUT
KATSEYE is a 6-member global girl group that was formed on November 17, 2023 at the finale of the survival show Dream Academy. After competing along 20 other contestants, the final six were chosen, each hailing from a different part of the globe: Sophia (Filipina), Lara, (Tamil-Indian American) Daniela (Cuban-Venezuelan American), Megan (Chinese-Singaporean American), Yoonchae (Korean) and Manon (Swiss-Italian-Ghanaian). They made their official debut on June 28, 2024. The group is under the partnership Hybe UMG x Geffen. While the group is highly inspired by KPOP, utilizing the KPOP methodology in training and perfomances, KATSEYE is NOT a KPOP group.
KATSEYE released their first EP SIS: Soft Is Strong on August 16, 2024, which included the singles "Debut" and "Touch". Despite just recently debuting, KATSEYE has already made a name for themselves with their debut reaching the Billboard 200 and No. 32 on the US Pop Airplay Chart.
The group is not only known for their hard work, talent and diversity, but their authenticity as well; often being vocal and open about their struggles in adjusting to the popstar lifestyle, sharing personal moments with their fans and participating in fun TikTok challenges.
The fandom name "EYEKONS" was announced on April 11, 2024. The name was chosen in collaborative effort with KATSEYE and the fans. Fun fact: the 'K" in EYEKONS is meant to match the "K" of KATSEYE which was suggested by Lara!
"What I cherish most about being a "Global Girl Group" is our ability to connect with a diverse range of people from various backgrounds. Hailing from all corners of the globe, we aspire for our music to resonate with those who see themselves in us. Each of our songs reflects a piece of who we are, and we hope our EYEKONs can find their own stories within our sound and the messages we convey." - Sophia, ELLE Singapore,
"Dream Academy was awesome but also so mentally hard. Now we’re in the public, we’re learning how much we can share and what we’re comfortable sharing with EYEKONS, and also what we want to keep to ourselves. But we also want to show people who we actually are, not just the fine-tuned version. It’s been a process.” - Lara, DAZED
This is only the beginning, and the journey ahead is so exciting for all of us! We wanna thank our EYEKONS for sticking around, this is all for you! ❤️ - KATSEYE, Sweety High

THANK YOU!
Thank you so much for taking the time to look through the site!This page was created after a sudden bout of inspiration and the realization that there had yet to be a comprehensive site for KATSEYE content. While the group is still in its early stages, I figured it would be best to start this sooner rather than later. This page will hopefully serve as a way to help new Eyekons learn more about KATSEYE and give veteran Eyekons convenient access to released content. It’s been so much fun being a part of the Eyekon community and finding a shared interest in KATSEYE. This site took many weeks to complete, so if you find it at all helpful please be sure to share it! I hope we can all continue to support KATSEYE on their journey to becoming global pop stars, as well as celebrate all of the diversity and talent in both the members and fellow Eyekons!
- JasmineThank you to @NoreenMoise for being the first Eyekon friend I made and supporting me while I created the site!Credit is also given to the inspiration behind the Katzflix site, @Fim-Flix
