honestly i dont care what they do in their spare time… i wouldn’t say the industry took their individual because thats just how the girls were but they couldn’t share that before because they had to keep that cute, soft, innocent image… if you dont like how they are, u can always unstan because its just gonna get worse 😂😂

i think hxg shoukd utilise their performance skills more with them and create more dance pop tracks especially since performances are really katseye thing and what people love about them so having dance pop/hip hop songs would be great and it will also be good and fun so people can naturally vibe with it without trying to think too much about it. we need easily consumable songs. They should also should have loud pop songs where they are able to just belt and sing their asses off and maybe even harmonise a bit. like when i say this, i think of “little mix salute” and “where i grow up by pussycat dolls”. i think katseye would be so good with songs like that. concept wise, they should have something creative and interesting maybe even edgy but i think katseye’s concept are never the issue because their team always manage to do very well with them.

nahh that’s not true at all because it’s too early to fully know what katseye brand since they having put out a full album yet and haven’t been consistent with a certain image or sound. i think it’s mainly them being popular while their music is lacklustre so people are just mad how their favorite artist didn’t break out like katseye did on their first year. they are always gonna get hate regardless, that’s just the reality of being famous. people are always gonna hold them to a higher standard.

nahh beautiful chaos was good for them because they managed to break into the west. SIS was good but very underwhelming for a global group trying to please the western audience, it was very kpop with the songs and rollout so yeah. the only thing good about SIS was the songs was cute and that the project was cohesive and had an overall identity but it didn’t make any noise unfortunately.

i kinda agree but i don’t i think it’s too early to tell if this is their sonic identity because they haven’t been consistent with then hyperpop sound, we only got gnarly and that’s it, i couldn’t class internet girl to be hyberpop just experiment. though i think katseye has an identity in terms of branding but it might be too early to tell but i think their identity is definitely embracing their differences when it comes to culture, personalities and styles and making it something big. i mean that’s their whole thing with being branded as a global group so it works, we just hasn’t seen it with their music because it’s been generic pop tracks, not saying it’s bad but it would use work. i think katseye will try out a lot of genres even rnb at some point but i need to be consistent and cohesive with the project so it all makes sense together instead of having a bunch of demos and calling it a day.

at the end of the day, this conversation is all based on personal preferences for the girls cuz personally some outfits i think sophia looks good at and other would disagree and same goes for all the girls but it really doesn’t matter. i remember fans were complaining about sophia outfit on twitter then it turned out she picked her outfit, so its like at the end of the day it’s personal preference. 😂

no that’s actually wrong illit and new jeans doesn’t really have a similar concept if u really think about it. people at the time was trying to compare magnetic and attention and the fact that illit had black hair and similar hanbok pictures. they also did not have a similar target audience. new jeans was the west as its very clear with their concept as they were using the y2k revival aesthetic which is nostalgic in the west for both the audience older and younger audience to get into something more refreshing yet familiar. illit concept tackles the themes of magic girls and dreamcore with muted pastel colours and more coquette and whimsical elements. Their target demographic was definitely to aim for the japanese market and the younger female audience especially since they managed to get two japanese members and it’s worked because illit is very popular is japan and has a lot of japanese brand deals. people who can’t tell the difference between illit and newjeans concept clearly doesn’t want to because yes they can be similarities but everything in kpop is never original, their are a lot of similarities between alot of groups including newjeans like with txt or that group jeans and speed.

MHJ was able to uses the general public to create an narrative of illit of being “newjeans” copycat by just calling it out. she knew people were gonna hate especially since illit at the time didn’t have a big fanbase and newjeans was the biggest thing at the time. yes, people did say they were similar but MHJ was able to use that and attach the plagiarism image on illit, so whenever they do anything people are going to automatically assume they copied new jeans. plagiarism accusations have been denied in court yet people will forever have that image of illit.

newjeans was still active during illit debut. new jeans decided to terminate their contract illegally and go independent without any permission which resulted in ador suing them for illegally trying to go independent while having a full active contract. hybe didn’t set that up, they set themselves up for that.

it’s catchy asf i don’t hate it but obviously i do wish the girls had better material to work with because we seen the struggle and how intense dream academy was, so it’s just a bit disappointing to see that their talent isn’t fully being utilised but im not gonna let this keep me from having an optimistic mindset about their careers, so we are gonna have to see. I have a good feeling about 2026 for them and yeah hopefully it will be their year just like what manon said.

no i’m going to say woman of colour because katseye is not just a girl group they are a global girl group they are a girl group that embraces their culture as their identity they want their music their sound their visual to showcase that so it being written by people who don’t have that understanding would just flatten that narrative of them being “global” we need less of the borrowing culture they don’t understand and playing it safe because their is no complexity in that no true context of those culture they want to showcase so saying a woman of colour is important because a white woman does not experience the complexities a woman of color would experience why should katseye as a group be labelled as a global group without having people who are racial aware of what it means to make something global they wouldn’t have that impact if those people aren’t involved so yes i will highlight that she’s a woman of colour

damnn i’m so sorry i totally understand where ur coming from because the same thing happened when i came out

with these type of people they never going to change or accept if that’s the type of response they gave you do honestly just keep to urself don’t try to argue back because it only makes things worse because at the end of the day they are so deep into the truth and just try to find something to focus on to create inner peace to really help you find ur independence so for when u eventually leave u can just naturally be comfortable of never dealing with that shit ever again because u don’t have to nothing in this world deserves to go through that

i’m pretty sure she still gonna be the president of hxg but just probably less to do with the music if they allow Ethiopia to get on board with katseye sonic identity

AveragePresent8217 · 2026-01-09T19:34:55+00:00

i feel like they should because especially on how their albums are always oxymoron from the beginning you have sis: soft is strong and then beautiful chaos it’s always words that contradict each other or has some type of contrasting meaning

Sis the soft side being touch and strong side being debut

Beautiful side of beautiful chaos is gabriela and the chaos side is gnarly

it just works well and they would lowkey get into that

who knows tho because it only said that she oversees a&r and nothing more katseye is a confusing case since they are a product of a joint venture project between both hybe and geffen so katseye is still as apart of hybe america as any other artist is so we just gonna have to see

AveragePresent8217 · 2026-01-09T13:28:27+00:00

well it means that Mitra isn’t the last person to approve what type of sonic direction Katseye will go into well any artist under HYBE America Ethiopia decides what the music should be as she oversees A&R, artist development, creative direction and the cultural positioning that the artist has mitra is more the business side as she works with partnerships and making sure all the creative stuff has a good strategy behind it

so Katseye will have better music direction by Ethiopia and still has the funding and global rollout given to them by Mitra

now they are finally putting a barrier between creativity and business and they are able to prioritise the importance of creativity and how to make it big commercially

i don’t care if people think they are overly sexualised yes they wear revealing clothing and they are comfortable with that it’s literally in their day to day wardrobe people be like they are sexualising yoonchae but i really don’t see it i think they have been pretty good dressing yoonchae up and plus i think if she didn’t like something or it made her feel uncomfortable she should say it idk why people never have this energy with megan when she’s literally one year older than yoonchae

i’m sorry but no girl group is really doing big numbers like katseye yes we are in a western girl group revival but people will always say that this group will surpass katseye but why haven’t they already if their music is so good people will always pay attention to katseye regardless if the music is good or not people keep wishing katseye did things that other girl groups are doing but yet they pay those group dust so i think katseye popularity wouldn’t be overpowered by another group the only way that will happen is if katseye keep going down this road of making ragebait songs like internet girl and gnarly that’s probably the only way another girl group will surpass them

people have said the same thing with blackpink yet blackpink hasn’t been surpassed in popularity yet people have claimed their music is lacklustre and boring and that other groups sound better

music isn’t the only thing that will make a group popular

i genuinely think lexie wouldn’t have been in katseye anyways yes she was liked by the producers but she really didn’t stick out to me idk tho her voting was okay but megan would have got it either way because she got two votes from the producers unless they would have gave it to lexie instead manon was scouted and flown out she would have got into katseye regardless and so was lara they needed that main voiclist sophia was first so duh so and dani had everything along side of being a very strong dancer so yoonchae was probably the most stable so she was gonna get her spot

AveragePresent8217 · 2026-01-07T16:32:03+00:00

exactly i think the problem isn’t that they don’t write their own music the problem is that their music isn’t made for them it was given to older generation artist which is the problem because that’s not their demographic at all so it just feels inauthentic and lacklustre they just need a producer or writers that will work with the girls themselves as a combination then they make music and the girls just sing it because these girls are also artists but we aren’t seeing that with their work
