The girl group KATSEYE captivated K-pop fans worldwide with a special stage performance alongside the LA Rams cheerleaders of the American professional football (NFL) team. Their stage was held at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, USA, on the 22nd (Korean time) during the ‘2024 MAMA AWARDS’ (hereafter ‘MAMA’), where they performed their debut single ‘Debut’ and the double title track ‘Touch’ from their first EP ‘SIS (Soft Is Strong)’.
KATSEYE (Daniela, Lara, Manon, Megan, Sophia, YoonChae) appeared in outfits inspired by the Rams cheerleading uniforms, delivering a powerful performance. The tracks, remixed with drum beats, stadium organ, whistle, and cheers, heightened the excitement at the venue. Particularly, the upbeat rhythm of ‘Debut’ and the members’ intense dance break captured the audience’s attention. In the subsequent ‘Touch’ performance, they demonstrated perfect harmony with the LA Rams cheerleader team, reaching a climax with dynamic and precise group choreography. The live audience enthusiastically cheered for their performance.
KATSEYE is a global group that debuted in the United States through the ‘K-pop production system’ in collaboration with HYBE and Geffen Records. Their collaboration with a football cheerleading team based in LA at the first-ever ‘MAMA’ stage held in the US is cited as an example of the successful fusion of K-pop and local culture.
Released in July, ‘Touch’ continues to gain steady popularity on major American music charts, demonstrating strong staying power. On the latest Billboard charts (dated November 23), the song has charted for 11 weeks on ‘Global (Excl. US)’ and 10 weeks on ‘Global 200,’ and has maintained a presence for five weeks on the ‘Pop Airplay’ chart, proving its appeal to the local audience.
As expectations for KATSEYE’s future activities grow, their unique and intense performances are anticipated to continue captivating global fans. The next stage performance is already eagerly awaited.
