KATSEYE Ignites North American Tour with Premiere of Unreleased Track 'Internet Girl'
Global girl group KATSEYE, a collaboration between HYBE and Geffen Records, has sent fans into a frenzy by unveiling an unreleased song during the opening night of their solo North American tour.
KATSEYE kicked off their ‘The BEAUTIFUL CHAOS’ tour on November 15th (local time) at The Armory in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The tour's opening night was met with overwhelming demand, selling out all tickets instantly. Due to the fervent support, additional dates were added in New York, San Francisco, and Los Angeles, with those tickets also selling out rapidly, solidifying KATSEYE's status as a rising sensation.
During the first show, KATSEYE presented a 15-song setlist. Their debut song ‘Debut’ and global hits ‘Gabriela’ and ‘Gnarly’ were reimagined with new arrangements and dance breaks, electrifying the venue. The performance reached its peak when the unreleased track ‘Internet Girl’ was debuted live, instantly sending the audience into a state of exhilaration. The song delivers a bold message challenging the comparisons, judgments, and hate women face in the online world, highlighted by its addictive chorus and KATSEYE's signature sharp choreography.
The group also evoked nostalgia with a medley of songs performed during their audition program, ‘The Debut: Dream Academy’, offering a special emotional moment for fans who have been with them since the beginning. Fans responded with enthusiastic singalongs and cheers, fully engaging with the members' performances.
Following the show, social media erupted with ecstatic reactions. Fans commented, "It's amazing how much their vocals and dance have improved with every performance. KATSEYE completely owned the stage tonight!" and "Please release the unreleased song immediately. I want to listen to it constantly," expressing their satisfaction with KATSEYE's performance and the new track.
Overseas media outlets also showed keen interest in KATSEYE's first North American tour. Fashion magazine Vogue noted the group's rapid growth, remarking, “KATSEYE reached another ‘gnarly’ milestone this weekend,” referencing the title of one of their hit songs. The Minneapolis local newspaper, Star Tribune, praised the performance as "flawless," adding that "the backflip during ‘Gabriela’ and the breathless vocals delivered an authentic experience to the fans."
After their successful Minneapolis show, KATSEYE will continue their tour, meeting fans in Toronto on the 18th, followed by Boston (Nov 19th), New York (Nov 21st, 22nd), Washington D.C.
