KATSEYE faces member hiatuses following rapid global success

KATSEYE HYBE x Geffen Dream Academy global girl group music industry

KATSEYE, the global girl group formed through the HYBE x Geffen competition series ‘Dream Academy’, has faced significant lineup challenges following its 2023 debut. Despite achieving success on the Billboard Hot 100 with tracks such as ‘Gnarly’, ‘Gabriela’, and ‘Pinky Up’, the group has dealt with the pressures of intense rehearsal and performance schedules.

In 2026, HYBE x Geffen announced that multiple members would be taking temporary breaks from the group. The lineup consists of Sophia (Philippines), Manon (Switzerland), Yoonchae (South Korea), and Lara, Daniela, and Megan, who grew up in the United States. The future evolution of the group's membership remains uncertain as they navigate these hiatuses.
