To promote the EP, KATSEYE embarked on an Asia tour in September 2024, performing in South Korea, the Philippines, and Japan.In an interview with B96 Chicago at the recent Lollapalooza, KATSEYE reflected how their music has evolved since their debut.Member Lara shared how their sound has grown bolder over time.&quot;I feel like our music now is like it&#x27;s a little bolder &#x27;cause I think through the years especially like the first year during the SIS (Soft Is Strong) era, we were finding our identity as a group and like learning who we are as a collective and as one. And I think for Beautiful Chaos we kind of have a better understanding of that, like the unity we have together,&quot; she said. She added that their latest music mirrors the group&#x27;s current dynamic. &quot;I feel like the new music is very representative of that and like the relationship we have with each other currently and just how tight, and close, and like chaotic our friendship is with each other,&quot; she pointed out.When asked what they didn&#x27;t expect in their journey after their debut, Sophia reflected on the overwhelming support they’ve received. &quot;I think for me I didn&#x27;t expect all the things we&#x27;ve experienced so far to come so soon and just so big, like all the love on us, on our sisterhood, and our performances, it&#x27;s just we never expected it,&quot; she said.
