KATSEYE open up about Manon being in 'Wild Hearts' documentary

KATSEYE have reflected on the release of their new documentary Wild Hearts, sharing their thoughts on revisiting the group's journey, celebrating the success of their single "Animal" and discussing Manon's presence in the film.

Speaking to Billboard News, members Danielle, Megan, Lara and Yoonchae discussed what fans can expect from the documentary, which follows the international girl group's experiences behind the scenes.

Danielle said Wild Hearts offers a more authentic look at the group's journey than audiences have previously seen.

"I think it’s good to see. It’s very much more authentic. You get a little bit more of that rawness, more of like the BTS, more of that grind, that day-to-day grind that people I feel like don’t really get to see a lot, so I think it’s very nice that we’re finally like making a film to show that," she said.

The interview also came as KATSEYE celebrated a milestone with "Animal", which has become the group's highest-charting song on the Billboard Hot 100.

Reacting to the achievement, Megan thanked fans for their support.

"We’re so grateful. We couldn’t be more grateful. We’ve worked so hard, and we’re continuing to. And it just makes us so much more excited for the world tour to come out, and just the album and everything. So yeah, we love you guys so much," she said.

Looking ahead to the group's upcoming world tour, Lara said fans can expect stronger vocal performances, greater interaction and an ambitious live production.

"I think lots of vocals, more vocal moments. I think a bit more like interaction with the fans. It’s just we’re planning like a really, really, really sick show. We just started rehearsals, and we’re grinding. It’s going to be awesome," she said.

Lara also spoke about seeing Manon featured in Wild Hearts, describing her as an important part of KATSEYE.

"I think it’s so so beautiful. She is such an incredible, important, and beautiful part of KATSEYE’s journey and will forever be. So of course she is in this movie," Lara said.

She added that she believes EYEKON, the group's fanbase, will appreciate seeing Manon's journey included in the documentary.

"I think that they’re going to be so happy. They love her so much, and we love her so much. And it’s it’s just it’s beautiful. It’s awesome," she said.
