Girl group KATSEYE will perform on the stage of the 'American Music Awards', HYBE-Geffen Records, the group's agency, announced on the 9th.

The 'American Music Awards' is considered one of the three major pop music award ceremonies in the United States, alongside the 'Billboard Music Awards' and the 'Grammy Awards'. The 52nd awards ceremony will be held on the 25th at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, and will be broadcast live on CBS and Paramount+ in the United States.

As this is an opportunity to gather the so-called 'biggest hits and artists' in the United States, it has drawn the attention of music fans worldwide. In addition to KATSEYE, artists from various genres, including Latin pop star Maluma, Grammy winner Twenty One Pilots, and Keith Urban, have been announced as performers for the 'American Music Awards'.

KATSEYE has been nominated in a total of three categories: 'New Artist of the Year', 'Best Music Video', and 'Breakthrough Pop Artist'. Since the 'American Music Awards' nominees are selected by combining objective data such as streaming numbers, album and digital song sales, and radio airplay, the awards are regarded as a gauge of actual popularity in the North American market.

KATSEYE has recently made a global impact on major charts, including placing their newly released single 'PINKY UP' at No. 28 on the US Billboard 'Hot 100' (dated April 25). On the latest UK 'Official Singles Top 100' chart (dated the 8th–14), 'PINKY UP' also secured the No. 47 spot, marking four consecutive weeks on the chart since its initial entry at No. 14. 'Touch', released in July 2024, also ranked at No. 98 this week, demonstrating strong staying power.

KATSEYE's presence is also prominent on Spotify. 'PINKY UP' reached No. 69 on Spotify's 'Weekly Top Songs Global' (dated the 1st–7), while 'Gabriela', released in June of last year, climbed to No. 112, achieving 46 consecutive weeks on the chart. This highlights the unique strength of KATSEYE's music, which enjoys popularity regardless of whether it is a new release or an older work and continues to be loved consistently over time.

Their global influence, as measured by data, is also noteworthy. KATSEYE's monthly Spotify listeners reached 33,591,329 (as of the period from April 7 to May 4). In the approximately one-week period before and after their visit to Korea, the group's total social media followers increased by 770,008, reaching 48,947,536 (as of the 5th). This demonstrates that KATSEYE's global fandom expansion is accelerating even further.

KATSEYE is a team that debuted in the United States in 2024 based on the 'K-pop methodology' under HYBE's 'Multi-home, multi-genre' strategy, led by Chairman Bang Si-hyeok. Having dominated large-scale music festivals and award show stages such as 'Lollapalooza' and 'Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival' in less than two years since their debut, the group is preparing to release their third EP, 'WILD', this August.
