Are Katseye transforming K-pop or making ‘skibidi toilet music’? Either way, fans will tearfully wait hours for a glimpse

Katseye blends US sensibilities with the hard-hitting choreography, branding and relentless perfectionism of Korean pop music – and ‘Eyekons’ can’t get enough

Ten-year-old Luna and 12-year-old Asha were among the first Eyekons – the noun for Katseye fans, à la Swifties and Beliebers – to arrive at Sydney’s Luna Park on Wednesday after their parents drove two hours from Wollongong.

While they hadn’t won tickets to the girl group’s first Australian appearance – a Q&A for fans at the park’s Big Top on Wednesday night – they came anyway, hoping to catch a glimpse of their favourite artists.
