Which KATSEYE Members Performed?

One report says 4 members performed, without Manon and Sophia, who are on hiatus. 

Here's the list of who performed:

Who Else Performed at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2026?

Victoria's Secret announced four musical acts: KATSEYE, Megan Moroney, Megan Thee Stallion and Tate McRae.

The runway had big names too. Adriana Lima, Gigi Hadid, Candice Swanepoel, Ashley Graham, Alex Consani and Paloma Elsesser all walked. Actress Jordan Leftwich walked for the first time.

How Did KATSEYE Get Booked for the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2026?

Here's what's confirmed. HYBE and Geffen Records said on September 30 that KATSEYE was invited to perform. That wording points to a direct booking, not a contest or open call.

Victoria's Secret announced the same day that all four musical acts are women. The brand has booked huge names before, including Taylor Swift, Rihanna and Lady Gaga.

Why Did Victoria's Secret Pick KATSEYE? Our Best Guesses

Neither Victoria's Secret nor the group's labels have said why KATSEYE was chosen. These are just guesses, not confirmed reasons.

It also isn't their only big TV moment lately. (More: KATSEYE's recent SNL moment.)

What Does the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show Mean for KATSEYE's Rise?

It puts KATSEYE in a spot that few groups get. They were the only group among the 4 musical acts, next to 3 solo stars.

It also came at a busy time. The Wildworld Tour, their headline arena run, kicked off its North American leg in Miami on October 13. 

Is This a Sign KATSEYE Is Getting Bigger?

Yes, in a few clear ways. Victoria's Secret invited them directly, and the show streamed worldwide on YouTube. That puts the group in front of people who may not follow pop or K-pop at all.

No viewership numbers or streaming bumps have been shared yet. We'd wait for those before saying how big the effect was.

Is a New KATSEYE Album Coming After the WILD EP?

No full-length album has been announced. The only confirmed release is the WILD EP, the group's third, which came out August 14, 2026 via HYBE x Geffen Records.

It follows 2025's BEAUTIFUL CHAOS, which debuted in the top five of the Billboard 200. Both songs from the show are on WILD. (More: our breakdown of the WILD EP.)

Korea JoongAng Daily's related headlines mention a ballad single called "Unloveu" and Lara Raj on the HYBE lineup for the first Weverse Con Festival in India. Neither is confirmed in the article itself, so don't treat them as official yet.
