KATSEYE releases “Animal” single and performs on Fallon

Overview

KATSEYE's Ed Sheeran-co-written single “Animal” arrived on 24 July 2026 as the lead track from the upcoming EP Wild (scheduled for 14 August 2026), following the earlier pre-release “Pinky Up”. The cinematic video, directed by Cody Critcheloe, features a dressing-room cameo by Oscar-nominated actress Demi Moore, who offers styling advice and urges the members, “Alright, let’s get wild.” Produced by Omer Fedi and Blake Slatkin, the track adds a polished Western pop sheen to the group's K-pop-centric sound. The single has since reached the top 10 of the Billboard Global 200.

In preparation for the EP release, the group hosted a special fan event titled ‘Klub Katseye’ at the Elsewhere club in Brooklyn. Organized in collaboration with Spotify, the event featured a performance of existing hits and the debut of a previously unreleased track, “That Way”.

On 12 August 2026, the group made their late-night performance debut on ‘The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon’, performing “Animal”. The group appeared as a quartet—comprising members Lara, Megan, Daniela, and Yoonchae—following hiatuses taken by members Manon and Sophia to focus on their mental health. During the appearance, the members expressed gratitude to their fanbase, known as EYEKONS, for their support during these lineup changes. The release supports the Wildworld Tour beginning in September 2026, visiting venues across North America and Europe.
