KATSEYE have shared their new track Internet Girl after revealing that they had been subjected to death threats.
The song explores the darker side of life in the spotlight, touching on online criticism and the pressure that comes with constant visibility on social media.
Group member Lara Raj recently disclosed that the Grammy nominated girl group had been targeted with death threats and racist abuse.
The 20 year old artist, who is of Tamil Indian heritage and a US citizen, said she was taken aback by the sheer volume of hostility she received.
Speaking to BBC News, she explained, “I try to tell myself it doesn't matter, but if 1,000 people are sending you death threats, it's jarring.
“Even if it's not going to happen, it's heavy.”
Raj also revealed that she had been falsely reported to US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, with claims alleging that she was “working and residing in the United States without legal authorisation.”
As a result of the online harassment, Raj chose to step away from social platforms.
She said, “I deleted Twitter now X.
“I realised I am not the audience for other people's opinions.”
KATSEYE, who are nominated for Best New Artist at the 2026 Grammy Awards, have not gone into detail about the exact nature of the threats they received.
The group have previously shared that their main ambition is to make a “genuine impact on culture” and to “change pop music.”
The Los Angeles based K pop inspired girl group, who were formed on the reality series Dream Academy in 2023, recently performed their first ever UK show with an intimate concert at London’s Exhibition White City as part of a special fan event.
Member Sophia said the group, which also includes Daniela, Manon, Megan and Yoonchae, wants audiences around the world to “feel seen.”
She explained, “Making a genuine impact on culture is our biggest goal that being representation and changing pop music.
“A big thing about us is being versatile. We switch it up with every project we put out. Even on each EP, every song is different and that is important to us.
“I like putting our cultures into each one of our songs, like we did on Gabriela we want to put in our own languages, make people feel seen and be the representation that we never had.”
KATSEYE’s members hail from the Philippines, South Korea, Switzerland and the United States.
After their UK debut, the group hinted that they would be returning in the near future.
Addressing the 800 fans in attendance, they said, “We can’t believe that this is our first show in the UK, you guys’ energy has been beyond incredible, it’s been so amazing.” They added, “Thank you so much for coming out to see us, we’ll definitely be back soon, we love the UK.”
