Thanks for reacting to them!! You were right, they aren’t Kpop, they are a global group. People are trying very hard to group them together. Each member is from a different part of the world! Well there are 3 American members with different ethnicities from different states! The only thing making people say they’re Kpop is that they are partly from hybe. They were created by hybe and geffen records and are stationed in LA. They will be singing in English and promoting all over the world including Korea. People are trying to group them together right now to hinder their growth.
Even though, as you said, Kpop is expanding, it’s very hard to reach out to a bigger audience due to prejudice and Kpop fans hindering groups because of fan wars and tearing down idols every chance they get.
Right now there are 3 global girl groups that has come out of Asia, which is Katseye, XG and VCHA.
XG is an all Japanese group under a company called XGALX
Vcha is an all American group with one Canadian from JYP
And katseye has 3 Americans,
one Korean, one Swiss-Italian Ghanaian and one Filipina.
They all sing in English and are trying to break into the global market.
Right now it seems hard for xg because everyone is grouping them with Kpop because they are all Asian.
With vcha, they are not being promoted well and are only known in the Kpop sphere.
Since katseye just debuted, we’ll have to see how well they’ll do. If they get promoted really well and are able to showcase their talents, I know they will go far. I know this song is short, but it’s a pre-release introduction to them as a group. Their main single will come out in July and their first EP in august!
Here are the members!
Manon ‘02 Swiss-Italian Ghanaian
Sophia ‘02 Filipina
Daniela ‘04 Cuban-Venezuelan American from Atlanta, Ga
Lara ‘05 Indian American from LA/NY
Megan ‘06 Chinese-Singaporean American from Hawaii
Yoonchae ‘07 from Korea
(I know this was a lot, Sorry)

Just to clarify... this is their debut pre-released single since it is their first track showcased to us. However, it is a PRE-RELEASE introduction from their upcoming EP. In their interview w teen vogue it has been reported "written and produced by Ryan Tedder, among others, "Debut" is KATSEYE's official introduction to the world and sees the group taking mainstream pop head-on." This song seems to be an intro release which is why it is so short. It is an intentional 2 minute anthem (think of a little longer than normal theme song) … they have confirmed to be releasing another single in JULY which will be another song from their EP debuting August 16th titled “SIS” (Soft Is Strong). A lot of people are having mixed reactions because they feel like the song is too short so it makes the song “bad” but you can tell the song is intentionally made this way for what’s to come which is something the girls themselves keep saying and are pretty satisfied with how everything is coming along. Additionally, many people like me who have watched them since pre-debut know the potential in the songs they will make as we literally listened to three original ones form their survival show. Ppl keep coming at them for it and its like if ppl think this song is the type of music they’ll keep making are not paying clear attention no shade. The song was cute, brief, and statement-filled. P.S. they stated “no this ain’t a debut” for a literal and figurative reason. This is just the intro to the beginning.Also, ppl are acting like all debuts have to sound and be the same... which is something Lara (one of the members) mentioned herself wanting to have a different kind of debut in addition to have the title song being called "debut" it is actually different when you think about it bc no one else is gonna do that. They also have a NETFLIX DOCUMENTARY releasing most likely this month or August about their journey to KATSEYE so stay tuned for that. THANKS FOR SUPPORTING THE GIRLS !

Yes yes and yesss. It's pretty iconic really, how they rollout with their pre release

[@liveandletlive8929]

I've heard groups like this called "Global" groups. XG is also called a global girl group because they are all Japanese members but sing/rap in English, Japanese, and Korean. VCHA is similar to Katseye and they are also called a global girl group if I'm not mistaken.

Localization of Kpop isn't new. It's increasing rapidly, though. The purpose to localize Kpop is to embed in into an existing market. That means also merging with different Non-Korean things to localize as it's supposed to insert Kpop into a different environment, not necessarily being identified as being foreign. Should we call it Kpop? Yes IMHO, 'cos as Kpop constantly incorporates Non-Korean elements into Kpop, Kpop incorporates itself back. Kpop was growing from an idol system within the Korean entertainment industry to being music listened to in other Asian countries, to gaining international recognition as a music genre, to what it is today. Generally Kpop is is Kpop, but Localized Kpop isn't necessarily Kpop in Korea if it's not meant to be appealing globally. It would be easy to define Kpop by language, by location etc. At this point it's more a who is behind creating it, who listens to it, who is the target audience; all that including the global aspect in its center.
EDIT: I need to add, there are purists who don't call themselves that. However, they do claim Kpop is only by Koreans (or at least East-Asians; they should look East-Asian), in Korean, made in Korea. That's a very nationalistic approach, contradicting the decades-old purpose of Hallyu. Since Kpop as an export industry is fostered by the Korean government from its beginnings, such a nationalistic approach - as illogic as it may seem - is also anti-Korean/anti-government.
