KATSEYE Faces Major Tour Shake-Up as Sophia's Return Plans Emerge
Geffen announced Thursday that KATSEYE member Sophia Laforteza will resume group activities during the first week of January 2027, providing fans with a concrete timeline for her return after she stepped away earlier this year.
Laforteza went on hiatus in August 2026 citing "personal health and wellness," subsequently missing the European WILDWORLD tour featuring KATSEYE members Daniela Avanzini, Lara Raj, Megan Skiendiel, and Yoonchae Jeung.
Sophia shared on her Instagram Story that she has been "putting in the work" to nurture her well-being, confirming she will not participate in remaining North American WILDWORLD tour dates throughout 2026.
HYBE and Geffen expressed gratitude to EYEKONS for their support, while fans await updates on fellow KATSEYE member Manon Bannerman, who has been on indefinite hiatus since February 2026.
KATSEYE continues its North American WILDWORLD tour through November 27, hitting Miami, Atlanta, New York, and Los Angeles, following the group's first No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with EP WILD.
