Global girl group Katseye will release its third EP, “WILD,” on Aug. 14, its agencies HYBE and Geffen Records said Thursday.

The album marks the group’s first EP in one year and two months since its second EP “Beautiful Chaos” was released in June last year.

The group recently performed on the Sahara Stage of the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in California on Saturday, performing songs such as “Gnarly” (2025), “Gameboy” (2025), “Gabriela” (2025) and its recently released single “Pinky Up.”

“Pinky Up,” released on April 9, sat at No.13 on Spotify’s Daily Top Song Global and at No. 10 on Daily Top Song USA on the same music platform on April 12. The song also accumulated 18.1 million streams across Spotify, Apple Music and Amazon Music within four days of its release, according to its agencies on Thursday.

It also performed “Golden” (2025) from Netflix’s hit animation “KPop Demon Hunters” (2025) during Coachella, alongside the singers of the voices behind the film’s fictional girl group, HUNTR/X.

Katseye was formed through HYBE's global audition project “The Debut: Dream Academy” (2023) and made its U.S. debut in June 2024. It gained attention from global music fans soon after entering the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 main songs chart with “Gnarly” and “Gabriela” last year.

The group consists of six members — Lara, Sophia, Daniela, Manon, Yoonchae and Megan. Manon is currently on hiatus.
