Interviewer: How did you each find out about the Katseye auditions?<\/strong><\/p>\nSophia: Well, it all started because I became a huge fan of BTS. And then I was pretty much subscribed to their YouTube channel, and I saw the audition there\u2026 I basically auditioned for the first announcement of this project, which was really cool.<\/p>\n

Megan: I actually don\u2019t think I\u2019ve ever said this, but I was training under another company, and I knew someone who worked there, and I got scouted to come onto this project.<\/p>\n
Daniela: I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve ever said this either, but my mum gets a lot of emails for auditions, and she never looks at them, like ever. But she just had an inkling, like a gut feeling, and she was like, \u201cI\u2019m just gonna look at this one.\u201d This is a true story, I swear. And she clicked it, and she was like, \u201cWhy don\u2019t you just go audition?\u201d and I was like, \u201cOkay!\u201d And now I\u2019m living my dream.<\/p>\n
Lara: HYBE and Geffen DM\u2019d me. I think they found one of my singing covers that I had posted\u2026 and it was a really sketchy DM, and I was like, I\u2019m definitely getting scammed right now. But, it\u2019s not a scam. So now I\u2019m here.<\/p>\n
Yoonchae: I was in the singing academy for my high school. One of the teachers filmed me, and she kind of sent it to some companies, and one of them was HYBE and Geffen, and they called me.<\/p>\n
You were picked from over 120,000 applicants. Did you learn anything from the process?<\/strong><\/p>\nMegan: With all the evaluations we had to go through with the whole training process, I think there were a bunch of times where we would get stuck in our own heads, and we would kind of be too perfectionistic. So I think letting go of things that are just not that deep\u2026 really, really helped me just not overthink it, and just be the artist that you were born to be.<\/p>\n
\n<\/blockquote>\nWhat\u2019s the secret to success as a girl group?<\/strong><\/p>\nLara: Communication. You have to talk and be so honest. Even if there\u2019s a little thing that doesn\u2019t seem relevant, we still bring it up to each other. And we talk about everything, because that way, nobody holds any grudges, nothing is left unsaid. We really make an effort to have tough conversations with each other\u2026 and also hanging out outside work is huge.<\/p>\n
What does your family think of your success?<\/strong><\/p>\nDaniela: They\u2019re so proud of us. Like so, so proud of us. My mum especially, she loves the attention and she\u2019ll use it. I\u2019m like, \u201cMum, chill.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lara: They love the internet. They\u2019re just playing on the internet. But we\u2019re so grateful, our parents are so amazing.<\/p>\n
Megan: My mum is like, begging me to introduce her to BTS, and I\u2019m like, I wanna meet BTS.<\/p>\n
Sophia: My dad too, he loves BTS! He loves LE SSERAFIM.<\/p>\n
Were there any dance moves that were hard to nail?<\/strong><\/p>\nMegan: \u201cGnarly\u201d, it\u2019s the dance break, it winds me every single time. Also because by the time we do it, it\u2019s the end of our set, so we\u2019ve already done so much choreo before that. By the time that \u201cGnarly\u201d comes, I\u2019m trying to catch my breath. But I think we\u2019ve done it enough, now our stamina is built and we kind of know what it is now. But when we first learnt it we were like, \u201cOh my god, we\u2019re dying.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n<\/blockquote>\nWho are your dream collaborators?<\/strong><\/p>\nSophia: Ariana Grande. I\u2019m never gonna stop saying it until it happens.<\/p>\n
Lara: Ariana, definitely. Petal, are you guys excited for Petal?<\/p>\n
You\u2019ve just announced your new EP, what was on the moodboard?<\/strong><\/p>\nSophia: I\u2019d say we wanted to get a little more authentic. And by authentic, I mean a little more raw with our personalities and the way we present ourselves. We wanted to be a bit messier, and everything doesn\u2019t have to be too polished. I think that was the whole point of \u201cPinky Up\u201d, it\u2019s very posh, but we wanted to add a modern and relaxed twist to it, mess it up a little bit. That\u2019s the direction we\u2019re headed in.<\/p>\n
Is there a song you\u2019re most excited for Eyekons to hear?<\/strong><\/p>\nSophia: It\u2019s a secret.<\/p>\n
Megan: You almost got us!<\/p>\n
Lara: It\u2019s like something you\u2019ve been asking for.<\/p>\n
What are your career dreams?<\/strong><\/p>\nDaniela: A world tour, maybe Australia? We love Australia.<\/p>\n
Sophia: We heard you guys have a really big arena somewhere\u2026<\/p>\n
Lara: Obviously, like an album. Winning a Grammy!<\/p>\n
Sophia: We want to headline Coachella. Headline Lollapalooza. Headline everything.<\/p>\n
Megan: Also, go to the Met Gala!<\/p>\n
\n<\/blockquote>\nIn the future, will we ever see Katseye dip outside of music? Are there other careers you want to try?<\/strong><\/p>\nMegan: Oh my god, so many. I think one for me is being like a fashion designer. It\u2019s one of my passions. And I got to design some merch for the Beautiful Chaos tour, so if and when we go on tour again, I\u2019ll be able to design some pieces again.<\/p>\n
Daniela: I used to act when I was little. I was in like three furniture store commercials. I\u2019d love to star in a movie or series. I\u2019m not tall enough, but modelling would be great.<\/p>\n
Lara: I would love to do fashion and my own jewellery line. I really want to do some sort of activism or something like that for my people. That would be so cool.<\/p>\n
Sophia: I want to do musical theatre. I\u2019m gonna do it, just give me time. I\u2019m gonna do Katseye first.<\/p>\n
Yoonchae: I would like to do acting.<\/p>\n
Sophia: I wanna do a Katseye movie, you know like the Spice Girls Spice World? Have a story but still play ourselves. Write that down. This is a start of an idea.<\/p>\n
Will you be coming back to Australia?<\/strong><\/p>\nMegan: Of course, we love Australia. We\u2019ll definitely be back, and sooner than later.<\/p>\n
