Global girl group KATSEYE has gained huge popularity and it is not slowing down anytime soon. Their songs like Gnarly and Gabriela have created massive buzz online and won over many fans across the world. Now, the group is preparing to release a new album titled WILD. The first teaser photos have just been revealed, and instead of happiness, they have started a heated debate among fans and netizens. Read on to know more about it.

On June 17, KATSEYE announced that pre-orders for their upcoming release WILD had opened. This announcement had everyone talking. Many fans, known also as ‘EyeKons’, expressed excitement for the new music and shared their support. At the same time, others noticed that one member, Manon, was missing from the teasers because she is currently on a hiatus. Her absence became a major point of discussion.

i think the problem with katseye is that they occupy more of a tween/teen pop lane but they dress and act like they wanna be perceived more seriously as sexy but the actual music itself and their vibe only really lands right now with kids. and they’re a lil too risqué for kids. https://t.co/KycSGx0xut

The teaser images also faced criticism for other reasons. Some netizens made fun of the possible song lyrics even before the full release. However, the biggest concern was about the styling. The first teaser photo showed the members in bold outfits. This sudden change shocked many people. They pointed out that it could be problematic because a large part of KATSEYE’s fanbase is quite young. They questioned whether such an image was suitable for the group’s audience.

Others commented on the timing of this shift. They noted that the group’s image became much more mature and s*xy right after the youngest member, Yoonchae, turned 18. This observation added fuel to the online debate. It is not the first time the group’s styling has caused strong reactions. In the past, outfits chosen for Yoonchae had already created a lot of talk and complaints from netizens.
