The highlight medley video of HYBE's global girl group KATSEYE's second EP 'BEAUTIFUL CHAOS' was released on the 24th on the HYBE Labels YouTube channel.
This video begins with Sophia playing music while driving and quickly alternates various scenes with different colors and compositions, including concept photo sketches of the new album, black-and-white films, and Polaroid cuts. The visual realization of the album's core message, "beauty in chaos," enhances immersion.
Notably, not only the previously released singles 'Gnarly' and 'Gabriela' but also parts of all the album's tracks, including 'Gameboy', 'Mean Girls', and 'M.I.A', are included. The diverse genres, such as hyperpop, Latin pop, dance pop, contemporary R&B, and electronic pop, captivate music fans.
Expectations are high for KATSEYE's wide musical spectrum and outstanding capabilities. HYBE and Geffen Records described 'BEAUTIFUL CHAOS' as "an album that expresses the beautiful chaos experienced while transcending limits as an artist while depicting KATSEYE's growth journey."
Global music fans are responding enthusiastically to the highlight medley video. Fans have commented, "An album of high quality that you can't skip a single track is expected," "I sense the birth of a masterpiece," "KATSEYE's perfect evolution," and "An artist that always exceeds expectations."
Through 'Gnarly', KATSEYE entered the world’s two main song charts, the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and the UK Official Singles Top 100, establishing themselves as a "next-generation pop icon." Additionally, 'Gabriela' is also showing signs of a breakout in major global music charts.
'Gabriela', released on the 20th, placed 25th on Spotify's latest 'Daily Top Song Global' (as of June 22), breaking the team's own highest ranking. After first entering this chart at 44th (as of June 20), it immediately rose to 34th (as of June 21), showing a continuous upward trend for three consecutive days.
This trend surpasses the performance of 'Gnarly'. 'Gnarly' made an impact by entering Spotify's 'Daily Top Song Global' at 91st (as of May 2) three days after its release. At that time, the stage performed on a music broadcast in Korea sparked significant interest. The stage for 'Gabriela' has not yet been presented.
