Bingkai Karya – Just weeks after concluding their sold out, first ever North American tour, GRAMMY® nominated global girl group KATSEYE drops “Internet Girl,” a song that quickly became a fan favorite after being previewed on the 16 date run. Released today via HYBE x Geffen Records, “Internet Girl” explores the chaos of being online, leaning into irony, hyper visibility and the performance of digital identity.
The topic is a natural one for KATSEYE, who were recently crowned TikTok’s Global Artist of the Year. They move fluidly between self expression and satire on the track, which was produced by Mattman & Robin (Taylor Swift, Imagine Dragons). It’s self aware pop with a sense of humor.
Coveteur said, “Trust, this new @katseyeworld song will be on repeat until further notice…” Proclaiming “Internet Girl” “instantly addictive,” Sweety High noted, “By the second chorus, people who had never heard the song before were already moving like they’d streamed it a hundred times.”
The Los Angeles Times declared, “KATSEYE has never put on less than a killer performance in its brief life as a group” and spoke with the group just before the tour launched for this feature. Complex awarded their New York shows “Straight 10 out of 10s.” The Dallas Observer said, “KATSEYE’s First Tour Proves What Fans Already Know: They’re the Next Big Thing…. It’s not K-pop. It’s not Western stardom as we know it. Yes, they are the shit. They are also one of one.”
In addition to a nod for Best New Artist, KATSEYE is nominated for a GRAMMY Award for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for their breakout single “Gabriela.” The song appears on BEAUTIFUL CHAOS (HYBE x Geffen Records), which debuted in the top five of the Billboard 200.
The EP also includes another Billboard Hot 100 hit, “Gnarly,” which has amassed over 647 million combined global streams. “Gnarly” took the No. 2 spot on The New York Times list of 2025’s Best Songs and also appeared on tallies by NME, Stereogum and FADER. Hailed by Rolling Stone and Billboard as one of the year’s best songs, “Gabriela” was among the top five song lyric searches on Google’s Year In Search. KATSEYE will make their Coachella debut in April 2026.
The group also earned a place on The New York Times’ list of “The 67 Most Stylish People of 2025.” When GAP tapped KATSEYE for its fall 2025 “Better in Denim” campaign, the commercial instantly went viral as fans began posting clips of themselves doing the moves from the Robbie Blue choreographed spot. As Bustle noted, “It seems just about everything the group does goes viral…”. KATSEYE are featured throughout the New York Magazine “Year In Culture” issue.
A New Global Girl Group
KATSEYE comprising Daniela (Cuban/Venezuelan-American, from Atlanta, GA), Lara (Indian, from New York, NY), Manon (Ghanaian-Italian, from Zurich, Switzerland), Megan (Chinese-American, from Honolulu, HI), Sophia (Manila, Philippines), and Yoonchae (Seoul, South Korea) is the first group of its kind, forged within the high standards of the K-pop system, as seen in HYBE and Geffen Records’ groundbreaking Dream Academy show and artist development program (and later, the Netflix docuseries, Pop Star Academy: KATSEYE).
About HYBE x Geffen Records
In February 2021, HYBE (formerly Big Hit Entertainment) and UMG’s Geffen Records officially announced their strategic joint venture partnership, an unprecedented collaboration between an esteemed U.S. record label and the leading K-pop and entertainment lifestyle platform company, brought together to create the world’s first U.S.based global girl group modeled on the world renowned K-pop training & development system.
This marked the first time a U.S. record label and a K-pop entertainment company were uniting to combine their expertise in artist discovery and development, and music production to assemble, develop, and introduce a group from ground zero. The November 2021 announcement of the first ever HYBE x Geffen Global Girl Group Audition that followed kicked off the historic JV.
Combining HYBE’s global expertise to lead the discovery, training, and development of the group, fan content production processes, and engagement with fans around the world, with Geffen Records’ extensive industry network and partners to oversee the music production, marketing, and global distribution operations, the JV aims to debut a new girl group that will transcend national, cultural, and artistic boundaries.
