KATSEYE, formed through the HYBE x GEFFEN survival show The Debut: Dream Academy, recently began their South Korean promotions. Previously, they made their Korean music show debut on Mnet‘s M!Countdown, performing their hits “Debut” and “Touch.”

Since KATSEYE is a global girl group with only one Korean member, Yoonchae, it’s expected that they might not be able to communicate as easily in Korea.

While they initially introduced themselves in English, they proved their multilingual skills throughout the interview. Many of the girls can speak multiple languages, so Sophia even sang “Touch” in Filipino. The clip went viral with over 346K views at the time of writing.
RIGHT but to me they sound fluent☝🏾

Sophia revealed that they actually got some help from LE SSERAFIM. They met in person at Music Bank, and the members even helped them practice their Korean. Eunchae was especially helpful.
