Megan from KATSEYE shares her excitement and surprise upon learning the group's Grammy nominations for best new artist and best pop duo/group performance, highlighting the significance of the recognition for their global presence and hard work, and expressing gratitude towards their fans and fellow nominees.
Women K-pop artists and groups, including BLACKPINK's ROSÉ, the fictional group HUNTR/X from 'KPop Demon Hunters,' and the girl group KATSEYE, received major Grammy nominations in 2026, marking a historic moment as no K-pop artist has won a Grammy before. The nominations highlight the global influence of women in K-pop and their potential to make Grammy history.
Katseye, a multilingual, multinational girl group formed by Hybe and Geffen Records, achieved rapid success in 2023 with a viral Gap campaign, chart-topping music, and a sold-out tour, while emphasizing diversity and authentic expression in their artistry.
HYBE and Geffen Records have announced the 20 finalists for their joint venture, the first-ever HYBE x Geffen Records global girl group. These talented young women were selected from over 120,000 submissions and will compete in The Debut: Dream Academy audition program, which will be documented in an upcoming Netflix series. The final members of the group will be chosen after 12 weeks, with the live finale scheduled for November 17. Fans will have the opportunity to vote for their favorites throughout the competition.
