Katseye to perform new digital single in Korea
Girl group Katseye will return to Korea with the new single 'Gnarly,' according to Hybe Labels and Geffen Records on Sunday.
The multinational group of six will drop the song and music video Wednesday and take to the stage on television music chart shows in Korea from May 1. It will be returning about seven months after it promoted two main tracks from the debut EP, 'Soft Is Strong' — 'Debut' and 'Touch.' The latter generated 100 million streams on Spotify.
As hinted through the teaser video for 'Gnarly,' the six members will go for a stronger image, taking a sharp turn from the upbeat and lovely concepts of its previous endeavors.
In July, it will perform at Lollapalooza Chicago, which will be headlined by the likes of Twice as well as Olivia Rodrigo, Sabrina Carpenter and Tyler, the Creator.

Megan becomes second member of Katseye to come out as LGBTQ+ after Lara Megan, a member of the global girl group Katseye, has publicly come out as bisexual. During a live broadcast on fan platform Weverse with fellow member Lara on Friday, Megan shared her identity with fans, stating, 'I'm coming out. I'm bisexual.' The two celebrated the moment together, jumping in place with joy. This marks the second coming out within the group. Back in March, Lara revealed her sexual orientation through a Weverse live broadcast. She shared that she realized she was attracted to women as early as the age of eight, and confessed that she was deeply afraid when auditioning. 'I didn't know if people would accept me. I was scared it might ruin my chances,' she wrote at the time. With both Lara and Megan now openly identifying as members of the LGBTQ+ community, Katseye stands out as a rare example of queer representation in the K-pop scene. The group will return with its second EP "Beautiful Chaos" on May 27.
