KATSEYE Speaks Out for the First Time Since Sophia Laforteza Announced Hiatus
Hybe and Geffen said doctors advised extended rest and ongoing care, and they will reassess her condition in September.
- On Friday, Hybe and Geffen announced that KATSEYE leader Sophia Laforteza is temporarily stepping back from promotional activities to focus on her mental health and well-being, with her condition to be reassessed in September.
- Formed through the 2023 competition "The Debut: Dream Academy," the Los Angeles-based group KATSEYE was designed as a six-member act, though Laforteza is the second member to take a mental health hiatus.
- Laforteza posted on Instagram that the decision "breaks her heart," emphasizing her love for performing and noting that prioritizing her mind and body will enable her to rejoin bandmates Daniela Avanzini, Lara Raj, Megan Skiendiel, and Yoonchae Jeung.
- The documentary "KATSEYE: WILD HEARTS" premieres Wednesday, while the third EP "WILD" arrives August 14, with the group continuing to perform as a four-piece during the packed release-and-tour stretch.
- Manon Bannerman has been on hiatus since February, with the label framing her break as open-ended rather than over; she appears in the documentary, which Lara Raj called part of the group's story.
