KATSEYE recently made their debut with “Debut” ahead of the release of their first album in August.

KATSEYE were announced as one of the opening acts for day three of KCON, and were able to film dance challenges for their latest single “Touch” with other stars attending. This included ENHYPEN, with KATSEYE’s Manon and Yoonchae filming with ENHYPEN’s Heeseung and Ni-ki.

Others found the clip to be a bit awkward, commenting on how ENHYPEN performed the song. Some had some harsher thoughts about the two members’ “masculinization” of the song’s dance.

However, many fans pointed out that another boy group dance similarly, meaning there may be some alternative choreography that was shown to ENHYPEN. Fans also felt that the small space also contributed to the somewhat awkward vibes that many felt.

Though there seems to have been some complaints, many were were still happy to see opposite sex groups interact with each other.
