The teaser came one day before the music video and song\u2019s full release, giving fans another look at the group\u2019s new concept. From the first seconds, the preview presents a fast-moving sound with bright synth textures and a banging beat. It also presents a part of the song\u2019s choreography, including a gesture with the KATSEYE members raising their pinky fingers to create horn-like shapes on their heads.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" hcb-fetch-image-from=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/IoRVa9XUEAk?si=o8Q7g50yJvdvTGHT\" title=\"KATSEYE (\ucea3\uce20\uc544\uc774) &quot;PINKY UP&quot; Official MV Teaser 3\" width=\"1240\" height=\"698\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/IoRVa9XUEAk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>As the teaser continues, the members show a bold and confident image that matches the energy of the track. Their expressions and movements suggest that \u201cPINKY UP\u201d will focus on a bold and performance-driven style. Notably, member <strong>Manon<\/strong> has been completely absent from the music video teasers and will probably not have any vocal lines on the upcoming track release. She was put on hiatus to focus on her \u201chealth and well-being\u201d on February 20, 2026.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\">\n        <blockquote hcb-fetch-image-from=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NewsKatseye\/status\/2042187340710289767?s=20\" class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">In newly shared exclusive article published today in South Korea by The Herald Korea, HYBE officially confirms that Manon will be missing Coachella Friday night due to her hiatus status <\/p>\n<p>KATSEYE IS SIX 6\ufe0f\u20e3 <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/WEWANTMANON?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">#WEWANTMANON<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/SIXORNOTHING?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">#SIXORNOTHING<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/BOYCOTTPINKYUP?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">#BOYCOTTPINKYUP<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/fulqiM7fkn\">pic.twitter.com\/fulqiM7fkn<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; KATSEYE News (@NewsKatseye) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NewsKatseye\/status\/2042187340710289767?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">April 9, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n        <\/figure>\n        \n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>The track and music video are scheduled for official release on April 10, 2026.
