What led to the decision Global girl group Katseye has canceled their performance at Summer Sonic Osaka, set for August 16, 2025. The cancellation stems from health concerns affecting two members, which caused delays in their travel schedule to allow for adequate rest. The group's agency made the announcement at midnight KST on August 16. Summer Sonic ranks as one of Japan's prominent music festivals, with the Osaka lineup including acts like Alicia Keys and Camila Cabello. Katseye features six members: Manon, Sophia, Daniela, Lara, Megan, and Yoonchae. They debuted this year with the EP 'SIS (Soft Is Strong)', containing songs such as 'Debut' and 'Touch'. The group has been building a presence in the international music market through various activities.

Such events highlight the logistical challenges in coordinating global tours for emerging artists. Agency's official update The community manager from Katseye's agency released a statement: "We are very sorry to share that Katseye will not be able to perform at Summer Sonic Osaka on Saturday, August 16, due to two members feeling unwell which has led to delays in their travel plans to ensure they can properly rest. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Both members have fully recovered and have been cleared to fly to Tokyo."

KATSEYE Shoutout the Trans Community In 'Mean Girls' Lyrics
Calling all Eyekons! Global girl group KATSEYE has officially dropped their highly anticipated second EP, Beautiful Chaos. The 5-track project comes after the release of their Charli XCX-co-written single, 'Gabriela,' and, of course, their certified song of the summer, 'Gnarly.' One of the new tracks on the EP, 'Mean Girls,' chooses grace over drama as the six members shout out all kinds of women—'sweet girls,' 'queen girls,' 'spill all the tea girls,' and, yes, even 'mean girls'—in its lyrics. Of course, the Gen Z powerhouses didn't leave out the trans community, as they also mused, 'God bless the T girls and all the in-between girls,' toward the end of the track. The sweet sentiment comes after two of KATSEYE's members, Lara Raj and Megan Skiendiel, came out as queer earlier this year. In March, Lara opened up about her sexuality during a live stream on Weverse, a South Korean platform where K-pop idols get to interact with fans. 'I knew I was half a fruitcake when I was like eight. So I really was wanting everybody,' she wrote to fans on the app, then clarifying that she doesn't label herself 'bc im not just into men n women, i like anyone im open to anyone.' A few months later, Megan came out as bisexual during another live stream. In a viral clip from the June live stream, Megan wishes Lara a happy Pride month as they apply hair extensions. 'Thank you, Megan, you too!' Lara said in between giggles. She then encouraged her bandmate to speak her truth as she counted her down. 'Guys, I'm coming out. I'm bisexual,' Megan shared before jumping with joy and saying, 'Oh my God, wait, I was like, scared.' The girls are not only experiencing, but spreading, queer joy and for that, we simply must stan.

(Video) Fan Requests KATSEYE Members To Sign Her Sanitary Pad During Event
Getting an autograph from your idol is an experience that not everyone can have. Most netizens would bring books, posters, items of clothing or something personally important to them to events where they have the opportunity to meet their favourite star. But what happens when you forget to bring something to a signing? 'Urban Outfitters' previously launched their 'OU: Haul' event campaign that aimed to support Gen Z with the important moment of their lives back in college. With the event, they hosted a city-wide scavenger hunt. The selected winners are invited to witness a performance of the girl group KATSEYE on 20th May (Tuesday) and 21st May (Wednesday). After the performance, netizens were given the chance to meet the girl group in person. One of the attending Eyekons (KATSEYE's fans) reportedly didn't have anything on hand for the idols to sign, so she offered a sanitary pad she had with her instead. The members were initially surprised by the unusual request but soon found it amusing, sharing a laugh with the fan and her friends. The members readily signed the pad while casually chatting with other Eyekons. Later, when the fan crossed paths with another member on the way out, the incident was shared with the group, and upon recognising the fan, the member added her signature to the pad as well. When the Eyekon shared the interaction on Twitter, many netizens found it hilarious, praising the fan's boldness for requesting something so unconventional at a signing event. Calling the situation 'Peak Girlhood' because of the reactions that everyone had to the pads being used, calling the fan an 'icon', and overall being supportive with how everything played out. While having a fan ask their idol to sign their pad for them is unusual, it's quite common for musical artists to receive requests from their audience to sign things that vary from a simple booklet to body parts. It brings a fun twist to fan signing culture, with netizens wondering what the next unusual item someone would bring to the table.
