Global girl group KATSEYE performed 'Animal' and 'Hootie Frutti' during their debut on Saturday Night Live on September 26. The group served as musical guests for the season 52 premiere of the US sketch show, which was hosted by New York Knicks star Jalen Brunson.
The quartet, comprising Daniela Avanzini, Lara Raj, Megan Skiendiel and Yoonchae Jeung, delivered 'Animal', the lead single from their third EP 'Wild'. This track, co-written by Ed Sheeran, was released in July and reached Number 24 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Later in the episode, KATSEYE returned to perform 'Hootie Frutti', also from 'Wild'. The group also participated in a pre-recorded comedy sketch that spoofed the competition which formed them, appearing as judges in a segment imagining a second season of The Debut: Dream Academy.
KATSEYE are currently midway through their 'WILDWORLD' arena tour, having recently completed its European leg. Sophia Laforteza is taking time away to focus on her mental health, while Manon Bannerman has been on a temporary hiatus since February.
