Mumbai, Aug 25

Taking to Instagram, the group thanked their fans, affectionately known as Eyekons, for their unwavering support. The girl's group shared a string of images from the celebrations.

The caption read: "EYEKONS, we couldn't have gotten here without you thank you so much for listening, sharing, and believing in us we're still pinching ourselves, our first #1 on the billboard 200??!!"

"Seeing how 'WILD' has found its way into your hearts really feels like something from our wildest dreams. Thank you for being with us every step of the way, we love you more than you know!!"

Katseye has six members Daniela Avanzini, Lara Raj, Manon Bannerman, Megan Skiendiel, Sophia Laforteza, and Yoonchae Jeung. The group's formation process was later chronicled in the Netflix docuseries Pop Star Academy: Katseye, which recounted the audition process, intensive training, and formation of the group.

Katseye debuted in June 2024 with the single "Debut", followed by their breakthrough single, "Touch". They released their first extended play (EP), SIS (Soft Is Strong), later that year.

In April 2025, they released "Gnarly" which served as the lead single for their second EP, Beautiful Chaos.

The EP's second single "Gabriela," peaked within the top 40 of the Hot 100 and earned a Grammy Award nomination for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance, with the group also being nominated for Best New Artist at the 68th Annual Grammy Awards.

Katseye is recognized for their distinctive fashion identity, prominently drawing influence from Y2K fashion.

Katseye includes the first Indian, Filipina, Latina, and Black artists to be signed under Hybe: Lara, Sophia, Daniela, and Manon, respectively. Musically, Katseye has cited the Pussycat Dolls, Spice Girls, and Le Sserafim as influences.
