KATSEYE’s “Jingle Ball” Debut Marred By Technical And Styling Issues
HYBE and Geffen Records‘ global girl group KATSEYE performed at 2024 Jingle Ball in Dallas, Texas. Fans are so proud of how far they have come.

While the girls did their part and delivered a good performance, technical and styling issues marred the performance.
Netizens were initially hopeful for the performance, as it was the first time in a while that all six members were present. Previously, Megan was on hiatus for back injury, and Manon was missing for 2024 MAMA Awards due to being sick.

Yet, at first sight of KATSEYE at the event, fans were disappointed by their styling. While the girls were coordinated in green and gold for a holiday theme, the efforts did not appear equal for the various outfits. They hope the outfits for the upcoming performances will be improved.
whoever styled katseye for the jingle ball gotta get publicly fired

That’s not all. There were sound issues, as the wrong track was played initially. Despite the hiccup, everyone locked in as soon as “Debut” started, as if there were no issues.
Manon looking around like wtf when my way’ started to play instead of ‘debut’ 😭😭 but they handled that so well pic.twitter.com/GLjO6EOSsb

@kiara.montinola like how do u mess up not once but twice 🙁 #katseye #jingleball
There appeared to be problems with the mic, as the girls had notably different sound levels. Sophia, especially, was louder than everyone else.

Despite all the problems, fans praised the KATSEYE members for their professionalism. Still, they wished for consequences for those responsible for the “chaos.”
