On a Friday morning, four members of the group Katseye stood before a national audience on NBC's Today, a moment that arrives in the ordinary rhythm of a release, yet carries the quieter weight of who was missing from the frame. Their new EP, Wild, had just reached listeners, and they performed its singles alongside an earlier hit, but the absence of Sophia and Manon hung over the set. The members who were present chose to name that absence openly, framing their presence around well-being and loyalty to bandmates whose reasons for stepping back remain unexplained.
Katseye Performs on 'Today' as 'Wild' EP Lands, Voices Support for Sophia and Manon
"We stand by Sophia and Manon through and through."
Mark
Why does a morning TV performance matter here? It's a promo stop.
Mimi
Because of who wasn't on stage. Four members performed, and the interview ended up being about two who weren't there, Sophia and Manon.
Mark
What did the group actually say?
Mimi
Lara said that prioritizing well-being is important to them, and that they stand by Sophia and Manon. She added, "We ride for them."
Luke
I'd note that's a statement of support, not an explanation. We don't know why Sophia announced a hiatus or why Manon has been on break since February.
Mark
And the timing? Sophia's announcement was only last week.
Mimi
Right, so the EP landed within days of that news. The Tonight Show performance of "Animal" earlier this week carried similar sentiments, so this was a consistent message.
Luke
Consistent, yes. But the report doesn't say whether either member is expected back, or whether the group's schedule has changed. Anything about that would be guesswork.
Mark
What's confirmed about the music side?
Mimi
They performed "Hootie Frutti" and "Pinky Up" from Wild, plus "Gabriela" from Beautiful Chaos. Wild also has "Animal," "Bel Air" and "That Way."
Luke
And that's about all the report gives us. It's a short account, so the well-being framing is what the group said, not something we've seen tested yet.
El Pulso
- Four members took the national morning stage while two bandmates were absent, and the empty places were impossible to ignore.
- Sophia's hiatus was announced only last week, and it landed on a promotional run already in motion.
- Manon has been on break since February, a longer silence that the group now has to explain on live television.
- The group is steering its public message toward well-being and solidarity, with Lara pledging they 'ride for' their absent members.
- Where this lands is still open: the record does not say when either member returns or how the schedule is being reshaped.
On a Friday morning, four members of the group Katseye stood before a national audience on NBC's Today, a moment that arrives in the ordinary rhythm of a release, yet carries the quieter weight of who was missing from the frame. Their new EP, Wild, had just reached listeners, and they performed its singles alongside an earlier hit, but the absence of Sophia and Manon hung over the set. The members who were present chose to name that absence openly, framing their presence around well-being and loyalty to bandmates whose reasons for stepping back remain unexplained.
On Friday morning, four members of Katseye, Daniela, Lara, Megan and Yoonchae, performed on NBC's Today just after the release of their EP, Wild. They sang "Hootie Frutti" and "Pinky Up" from the new record, and then a rendition of "Gabriela" from their earlier EP, Beautiful Chaos.
The lineup was shaped as much by absence as by presence. Sophia announced a hiatus last week, and Manon has been on break since February. The four who performed addressed both directly. Lara spoke for the group, saying that prioritizing well-being matters deeply to them and that they stand by Sophia and Manon completely.
The same sentiment had surfaced earlier that week on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, where the group performed "Animal." The source offers no reasons for either absence and no timeline for return, nor does it describe any changes to the group's schedule. What remains is the public stance itself. What to watch is whether that stance shapes how Katseye promotes Wild, and whether news arrives about Sophia and Manon.
On Friday morning, four members of the girl group Katseye stood on the stage of NBC's Today. Daniela, Lara, Megan and Yoonchae performed on the morning news show just after the release of their EP, Wild.
The set drew from both the new record and the group's earlier work. They performed "Hootie Frutti" and "Pinky Up," two singles from Wild. They also gave a rendition of "Gabriela," the hit single from their earlier EP, Beautiful Chaos. Wild also includes the tracks "Animal," "Bel Air" and "That Way."
The lineup on stage was notable for who was not in it. Sophia announced a hiatus from the group last week. Manon has been on break since February. In the Today interview, the four members who performed addressed both absences directly.
Lara spoke for the group. "As Katseye, it's so important to us to always prioritize our well-being," she said. "We stand by Sophia and Manon through and through. We ride for them."
The message was not new that week. According to the report, Katseye shared similar sentiments earlier in the week, when the group performed "Animal" on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. That makes the Today appearance the second national television stop in a few days to promote Wild, and the second in which the group framed its release around the health of its members.
The source does not say why Sophia is stepping away or why Manon has been on break since February, and it does not say when either might return. It also does not describe how the group's schedule or performances are being adjusted to account for the two absences. What is on the record is the public stance: the members still performing say they are backing the two who are not, and that they put well-being first.
What to watch next is whether that stance shapes how Katseye handles promotion for Wild, and whether any update comes on the status of Sophia and Manon.
