On Teen Vogue, Sophia Laforteza says, 'I want to be somebody who will never hide the fact that Im Filipino'
Katseye is on the cover of Teen Vogue, and Filipino member Sophia Laforteza just repped us hard. "I want to be somebody who will never hide the fact that I'm Filipino," the 22-year-old told Teen Vogue, adding she wants t one "loud about it." "It means a lot when somebody embraces their culture, especially their Philippine culture and heritage." She gave nods to Fil-am performers Vanessa Hudgens, Nicole Scherzinger, and Olivia Rodrigo as her influences, but none more than her mom, the theater actress Carla Guevara-Laforteza, who would take Sophia along during rehearsals. "I would just sit there and observe. She trained me to a visual learner," the Katseye member said of her mom. The magazine put the spotlight on each of the six members of Katseye, who are all winners of the survival show, 'The Debut: Dream Academy." The girl group is now managed by HYBE Labels and Geffen Records, who is about to drop an EP "Beautiful Chaos" in June. Katseye was in the Philippines last September, where they performed on "It's Showtime," met fans at a showcase, and held a media conference. At the sidelines of the event, Carla said she never expected all this for Sophia. "For Sophia to be a superstar is more than — naiiyak ako! Nakakaiyak tsaka nakaka-proud talaga kasi she did it all on her own. Hindi nga nagpaalam," the theater actress said. Read the rest of Katseye interview on Teen Vogue. — LA, GMA Integrated News

June Tarot Card Reading: Tarot for Each Zodiac Sign
All products featured on Teen Vogue are independently selected by Teen Vogue editors. However, when you buy something through our retail links, Condé Nast may earn an affiliate commission. Nestea06 June is a transitional month: the first 20 days are taken by the Gemini sun and spring, while the remaining 10 are marked by summer and the Cancer sun. As we ebb and flow through seasons, the cosmos changes the tune of June, allowing us to evolve and grow with the influx of new energy. What better way than a tarot card reading to help you figure out how to navigate the shifting seasons? Romantic Venus enters sensual Taurus on June 6, urging us to embrace decadence and love. Two days later, communication planet Mercury splashes into Cancer on June 8, infusing intuition and creativity with communication. Expansive Jupiter dives into Cancer, its favorite placement on June 9, making our emotions more fluid and our ideology expansive. The Strawberry Full Moon in Sagittarius on June 11 brings exciting and novel philosophies. Action planet Mars softens our approach to drama when it enters Virgo on June 17. The Sun begins to do the crabwalk when it increases into Cancer on the 20th, the same day as the seasonal shift — the Summer Solstice on the 20th ushers in the longest day of the year as summer months commence. The New Moon in Cancer on June 25 helps us begin fresh hopes and goals. Mercury leaps into Leo on the 26th, upping our rizz. Here's your tarot card reading by zodiac sign: Aww…look at you, getting reflective and sentimental this month. Since summer is in full swing, you should seek adventure with your squad. Going to an old hangout will spark memories and allow you to reminisce. You might even shed a tear by the bonfire and singing your favorite songs with your crew (thanks to this wonderful and cute jukebox speaker) will bring you closer (and make great TikTok video keepsakes). It's gonna be a hot op summer because rivalries are heating up the air! Don't let the cordial competition create issues with others. If you feel the urge to trick a peer, it's vital to pause and rethink your motives before karma gets you. Cheating has many consequences, and your actions affect you in many ways. Winning isn't worth downgrading your morals. Remember, what goes around comes around. Sometimes, it's challenging to let go of a toxic situation, no matter how hard you try. Since you always want to make others happy, you don't want to rock the boat by speaking up and drawing attention to the issue. Know that you hold the key to your happiness, so when you're ready to disengage, these sneakers are made for running. On your mark, get set, go! Onward and forward! Life is amazing. Perhaps it is too good for comfort. As a result, you're waiting for the other shoe to drop. While enjoying the first days of summer, your worries about what can happen keep you up at night. Tossing and turning in bed with nervousness is alarming and exhausting. Tools like a fidget, talking to someone you trust, and being present are helpful when feeling uneasy about the future. There is a lot of ambiguity about what you wish to pursue next. You might be feeling a tad lost in the mix and process of figuring it out. Before letting the situation get the best of you, know you're not alone. Many people in your realm are in the same boat. Self-admiration and confidence will help decision-making, so take a long look in the mirror to embrace your fabulousness. You've been crushing and opening your heart to peeps, but none have been living up to your standards. Now that you've set your sights on someone new, you should ensure they're at your level before tumbling down the rabbit hole and getting caught up in them. Set boundaries ahead of time to maintain your sense of self and to let them see that you aren't available to them 24/7. Instead of remaining still and waiting for life to happen, take charge and manifest them. If you want to head to the beach or pool for a fun adventure, pack a bag and head out with your pals for the day. Even if you go solo and meet up with your besties later, it'll be worth the effort and wait. Stop making excuses about not partaking, and do it. YOLO! Making an impression is important to you — especially when it involves settling the score with an ex to let them see what they're missing when they are out with their current boo. You want to catch their eye and stir the pot with jealousy. Therefore, an appearance must be made in an LBD. Yes, this is petty. But it'll help you get your groove back, so it's fair game. Consider whether an argument is worth your energy before inserting yourself into it. You might find that the person you're debating facts with doesn't want to hear the truth, so it may be best to walk away. Not having the last word will be annoying, so you should express yourself in your 'Burn Book.' Just keep it hidden under lock and key to ensure no one but you reads it. It feels like there are more haters than peace in your social circle. In reality, you're surrounded by mostly positivity, except for a few stragglers. You have to cut out the people who neg you and don't maintain your best interests before they do irreparable harm behind your back. Blocking out the shade by wearing a pair of sunnies offers a unique perspective on how to bring in good vibes. Loving yourself is easy because you're beautiful. Spend time bringing a smile to your face by satisfying and pleasing yourself in whatever way you see fit. Do you this month by indulging in self-gratification. You walk to the beat of your drum, so you should get off to your awesome attributes. Put on some of your favorite tunes and lay on a comfy pillow to reach maximum fulfillment. Sometimes, you have to know when to hold and fold 'em. Understand that most situations are temporary and that you should walk away from things that aren't pleasurable. Seasonal social endeavors allow you to relish the mundane. Whether watching a movie or going out for a picnic with friends, the objective is to find solace in everyday ventures. Doing so adds pep and vibrancy to your aura and energy levels. Originally Appeared on Teen Vogue

KATSEYE's Yoonchae Jeung Breaks Down Her Viral Blush Technique
Bea Oyster As a member of KATSEYE, Yoonchae Jeung represents South Korea abroad in the global girl group created by K-pop label HYBE and Geffen Records. So, it's no surprise that she's also bringing K-beauty trends stateside. Cue: Yoonchae's favorite blush trend. Across music videos and stage performances, Yoonchae is often seen sporting a flush of bright blush. The members even call it her signature beauty look in their Teen Vogue cover story. Yoonchae tells us she was inspired to adopt the look as her own after she noticed it began to trend in Korea. The key to Yoonchae's trending blush routine is focusing on the area directly underneath the eye and blending it out softly without going too far away from the center. The shade of blush is also key. When Yoonchae travels back to Korea, she says she stocks up on blushes because the colors there are different from the ones typically found in the United States. (Pro tip: She opts for pinks, especially fruit-inspired hues.) Now a global trend, the under-eye blush placement has become popular for the effect that it can have on your makeup. On her TikTok, makeup artist Judy Lim explains, 'For a more youthful appearance, actually apply your blush close to the underside of your eye and center of your face.' Lim adds that we lose volume in these areas of our faces as we grow older. Extending blush beyond the cheekbone and all the way to the hairline also gives a lifted, snatched effect similar to straight eyebrows. Lim also points out that the face loses its natural color with foundation, so adding a healthy dose of blush can actually make the makeup look softer. And, the fruit-like shades also lend themselves to buzzy, youthful trends like strawberry makeup. Such a look fits Yoonchae, who is the youngest member of KATSEYE. Now 17, she shares that she began learning how to do makeup at age 12 when she was a trainee and beginning evaluations. Much of her inspiration came from her older sister as well as Pinterest and YouTube. She still, however, enjoys learning and trying new things when it comes to beauty, makeup, and performance.

KATSEYE's Lara Raj Explains Why She Unapologetically Wears Her Bindi
Bea Oyster In Teen Vogue's May/June 2025 cover story, KATSEYE member Lara Raj opens up about the inspirations behind her style and how she uses it to represent her Indian culture. Among the many aspects of her typical beauty routine, one of the things most noted by fans, known as EYEKONS, is her bindi. Ever since she debuted on the competition series Dream Academy to earn her spot in HYBE and Universal Music Group subsidiary Geffen's collaborative global girl group, Lara has been known to wear a bindi with many of her looks, regardless of her makeup or outfit for the day. The bindi is a cultural staple for many South Asians, representing core Hindu beliefs and highlighting moments of bonding between friends and family. Such is relatable for Lara, who tells Teen Vogue that her love for fashion and beauty was ignited by her family, especially her mother. 'My mom loves to wear her traditional wedding jewelry with American clothes, which I always thought was so cool growing up,' she says. While the fusion of her shared Easter and Western cultures was inspired by her mother, Lara's dedication to wearing these blended looks on stage also comes from facing stereotypes in her childhood and how she could change things for the next generation. She explains, 'I really wanted to make something like the Ohm necklace or the bindi into a fashion statement and something that people could see as, 'Whoa, that's so sick!' and, 'That's so fire!' And other brown girls, they want to wear it too, as a thing. It's not something to get made fun of for. Because I always got made fun of for it, I really want to change that.' Since these are part of her signature style, they're likely to stay, even while she experiments with new trends. 'I'm trying to be a little bit more chic recently,' she says in our interview. 'Chic is so not my thing. I love sleek clothing, and I like black. I like glamour. And Diesel, Balenciaga, those are my favorite brands in the world. But I'm trying to get more into Miu Miu, Chanel. I even bought Tabis a couple weeks ago and I'm trying to experiment with that.' 'I feel like it feels a little uncomfortable on me because it's so posh in a way, which is so the opposite of my style,' she adds. 'But I don't want to be boxed anymore. I feel like I have a style and that's my thing, and it's always black or chrome or something like that, and I want to expand and be a little bit more fashionable.'
