KATSEYE to perform at 2026 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show

KATSEYE, a multinational girl group formed by K-pop powerhouse HYBE and U.S. record label Geffen Records, will perform at the 2026 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in Los Angeles, the agencies said Wednesday. The group was invited as one of the performing artists for the event, set for Oct. 18 (local time). First held in 1995, the annual show by the U.S. lingerie brand pairs runway appearances by supermodels with live performances by global music stars. Previous performers include Taylor Swift, Rihanna and Lady Gaga. This year, KATSEYE shares the lineup with Canadian pop star Tate McRae, American rapper Megan Thee Stallion and rising country singer Megan Moroney. U.S. music magazine Billboard highlighted the group's rapid growth when it introduced the lineup. It noted that KATSEYE's third EP, "WILD," topped the Billboard 200 albums chart in August. It also noted that the group recently launched "THE WILDWORLD TOUR," its first arena tour. The group's momentum is also evident on the charts. On the latest Billboard Hot 100, the magazine's main singles chart, dated Oct. 3, "Animal" ranked No. 30
