Viral Girl Group KATSEYE Announces Debut Tour

The six-member girl group, born from HYBE and Geffen’s glossy pop pressure cooker The Debut: Dream Academy, just announced their first North American tour — and no, this isn’t a drill. Dubbed the Beautiful Chaos Tour after their recent EP, the 13-date run launches in Minneapolis on November 15, 2025, before spilling across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico like a glitter-drenched fever dream.

The group — Daniela, Megan, Lara, Manon, Sophia, and Yoonchae — broke the news on socials July 8. "EYEKONS, the moment we’ve been dreaming of is finally here,” they posted.

“We can’t wait to go on this journey together.” It’s the kind of full-circle moment fans (and stan accounts) have been manifesting since the group’s survival show days.

And there’s a deeper layer here too: in a quiet but powerful moment earlier this year, Manon opened up in a now-viral interview about being queer, making her one of the few openly LGBTQ+ idols in a major K-pop-adjacent act.

“It’s not something I ever planned to make into a headline,” she said. “But I also didn’t want to keep slicing parts of myself off just to fit.” Since then, she’s become a soft symbol of queer representation in a space that often steers clear of it — with fans praising her for simply existing on her own terms.

Musically, KATSEYE are still finding their shape — but Beautiful Chaos is the strongest signal yet. The EP, which debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard 200, twists bubblegum pop into something more raw. Gnarly explodes with glitch-punk energy. Gameboy is sleek and sad in equal measure. Gabriela runs like a love letter that turned sour. Sales topped 44,000 units in week one, and the critics — surprisingly — didn’t hate it.

Each member brings a different magnetism: Megan’s sandpaper vocals, Yoonchae’s zero-emotion stare that somehow says everything, Sophia’s hurricane-like performance style. Daniela and Lara toggle between soft-spoken and sharp, depending on the track. And Manon — ever the wildcard — balances alt-girl aesthetics with experimental flair. Think Sailor Moon in a Margiela mood.

Tickets drop this week. Weverse presale begins at 9 a.m. ET on Wednesday, July 9. Artist presale follows Thursday at 10 a.m. local time. General on-sale lands Friday, July 11 — same time.

This isn’t just a debut tour — it’s a declaration. KATSEYE have arrived, and they’re not asking for permission.
