We dive deep into the rise of KATSEYE, the global group formed on Netflix’s Pop Star Academy. With their debut EP "SIS (Soft Is Strong)" out in the world, we take a critical look at whether KATSEYE is on the path to success or struggling to make an impact. From dissecting the Dream Academy challenges they faced during their formation to analyzing their debut singles, we unpack why their launch has felt underwhelming. Are they being set up for stardom, or are they facing an uphill battle for relevance?
