KATSEYE announce new EP ‘Beautiful Chaos’ following release of single ‘Gnarly’

8 May, 2025

KATSEYE have announced a new EP, ‘Beautiful Chaos’ – find out more below.

Following the release of their comeback single ‘Gnarly’ on April 30, the HYBE x Geffen girl group have unveiled their next collection of songs in the form of their sophomore EP, ‘Beautiful Chaos’.

‘Beautiful Chaos’ is due for release on June 27 via HYBE x Geffen Records and can be pre-saved on digital streaming platforms or pre-ordered here.

Per a press release, the upcoming EP will see the global girl group explore complex themes of modern girlhood and the blurring lines between the real and digital world. They’re also looking to leave their mark on the world, with KATSEYE saying in a statement: “We want KATSEYE to be timeless and to have a lasting influence. Not just for now — we want forever.”

Working on ‘Beautiful Chaos’ with KATSEYE are Justin Tranter (Selena Gomez, Chappell Roan), Andrew Watt (Lady Gaga, Jungkook), John Ryan (Sabrina Carpenter) and Kristin Carpenter (Jisoo).

KATSEYE made their debut last August with ‘SIS (Soft Is Strong)’, which featured the singles ‘Debut’ and ‘Touch’. In a four-star review of the record, NME’s Mika Chen called the EP a “surprisingly cohesive release that largely captures the group’s enormous potential” but criticised the short length of its tracks.

KATSEYE were also selected as one of the emerging essential artists to watch in 2025 for the NME 100. NME also named ‘Touch’ as one of the 50 best songs of 2024: “It’s one thing to make an earworm, and another to transform a pop song into something akin to muscle memory. That’s what K-pop does best [and] KATSEYE proved that they’re scholars of K-pop’s most important lessons.”

Comprising members Sophia, Manon, Daniella, Lara, Megan and Yoonchae, KATSEYE formed in November 2023 through HYBE x Geffen Records’ reality show Dream Academy. They were the final six among the 20 contestants who competed in the series.
