KATSEYE has released a picturesque new video for “Hootie Fruitti,” a song from their newly released third EP, “WILD.” Directed by Alfred Marroquin, the video centers on a spicy dance party with Brazilian flair, bright outfits, and a strong Latin-inspired beat. The group members, Daniela, Lara, Megan, Yoonchae, and Sophia, perform as a quintet without their sixth member, Manon. The five ladies perform energetic choreography in a hot warehouse, which later turns into a soaked party.
The video begins with the KATSEYE girls trying to deal with intense heat before they give in to the music and start dancing. As the clip continues, sprinklers turn on, and the setting becomes more chaotic, watery, and wet. Then, slime, candy, and other playful details start appearing throughout the several scenes. The brief video clip features member Sophia, even though she recently announced a break from promotional activities to focus on her health. Similarly, Manon has been on hiatus since February, 2026 to focus on her well-being.
“WILD” follows KATSEYE’s 2025 EP “BEAUTIFUL CHAOS,” which earned them a Grammy nomination, and another one for Best New Artist. “Hootie Fruitti” comes after earlier singles “PINKY UP” and “Animal,” with “Animal” receiving songwriting assistance from Ed Sheeran. KATSEYE is also preparing to begin their highly-anticipated WILDWORLD TOUR on September 1, 2026, at Dublin’s 3Arena. Fans who want to see the group before the tour can also watch the concert film “KATSEYE: WILD HEARTS,” which is currently showing in about 1,700 cinemas across more than 60 countries.
