Market!.
Held on September 18 (Wednesday), the group capped off their activities in the Philippines
with the highly anticipated “KATSEYE: Touchdown in Manila Official Fan Showcase,” where
they finally got to meet their Filipino fans and treat them to live performances of songs from
their debut EP, SIS (Soft Is Strong).
Despite the gloomy weather, over 9,000 enthusiastic fans showed up to support the group in
full force, waving their fan banners and loudly cheering for the group as KATSEYE delivered
unforgettable performances of “Debut,” “My Way,” and the viral hit “Touch.” Some very young
fans were even spotted dancing along to the trending choreography of “Touch,” highlighting
the group’s appeal across all ages.

Audience members were captivated as they witnessed the group introduce themselves and
dominate the stage with their infectious aura and charming personalities. Local celebrities,
including Pablo from SB19 and Niana Guerrero, were also spotted in the crowd supporting
the group.
In addition to unforgettable performances and heartwarming fan interactions, KATSEYE
treated the audience to special surprises, including previews of the members’ renditions of
“Touch” in different languages, such as Megan and Yoonchae’s respective versions of the
track in Japanese and Korean.

Group leader Sophia’s Tagalog rendition of “Touch” particularly had the crowd chanting “Isa
pa!” and begging for more, which led to an encore performance of the popular track that had
the audience raving and dancing the song’s viral dance moves while the girls performed the
track.
As the event came to a close, the crowd chanted, “We love you, KATSEYE!” in unison, with
the group emotionally responding with a heartfelt “Mahal namin kayo!”. Hometown member
Sophia particularly expressed her gratitude for the crowd’s overwhelming support and her
wish to stay in the country even longer: “Thank you so much for coming today, I know our
time here was short. We hope that we could come back, be here a lot longer, and perform
more songs for you all. […] Thank you so much, I love you!”

The official showcase ends KATSEYE’s three-day visit to the Philippines on a high note,
solidifying the group and their bond with Filipino fans even more. Within less than a year of
debuting, the group has already made their mark by touching down in the Philippines and
delivering one of the biggest events this year, which is sure to grow their local fan base even
further.
