Six-member global girl group KATSEYE has officially debuted with the pre-release single “Debut” after being formed by HYBE and Geffen Records‘ survival show The Debut: Dream Academy. The group includes Manon Bannerman, Sophia Laforteza, Daniela Avanzini, Lara Raj, Megan Skiendiel, and Yoonchae Jeong.
With their debut, KATSEYE also held a live broadcast via Weverse, which was started prematurely.

A moment from this has gone viral with 492.6K+ views at the time of writing. Based on the brief clip, it appears the members were being media-trained and instructed not to curse. So, one says, “Okay, get everything out.” After, “f*ck,” “sh*t,” and “b*tch” could be heard repeatedly.

Many found it droll that this happened on their debut day. Yet, they found it iconic and hope the group can remain unfiltered throughout their career.
