The news is sparking a wave of harsh criticism on social media.<\/p>\n<h2> A contested historical moment<\/h2>\n<p> Katseye, who rose to fame in 2024 through the survival show &quot;The Debut: Dream Academy,&quot; recently earned a Grammy Award nomination, a remarkable achievement for such a young group. And now, another piece of news has been officially announced: the group will perform live on February 1, 2026, becoming the first girl group to do so since Destiny&#39;s Child over 20 years ago.<\/p>\n<p>Yet, far from the celebrations, the announcement sparked a massive outcry. On K-pop forums and Twitter, fans and observers denounced the music industry&#39;s opportunistic decision. Comments like <em>&quot;The Grammys let just about anyone on stage&quot;<\/em> and <em>&quot;The industry is pushing Katseye too hard, no thanks&quot;<\/em> proliferated, accusing the South Korean entertainment company HYBE of using its influence to push through this global project.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\"> KATSEYE is set to perform at this year&#39;s <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/GRAMMYs?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#GRAMMYs<\/a> .<\/p>\n<p> The last girl group to grace the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/GRAMMYs?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#GRAMMYs<\/a> stage was Destiny&#39;s Child, 24 years ago. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/vTm1bqXJDR\">pic.twitter.com\/vTm1bqXJDR<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 KATSEYE B\u2736SE (@KATSEYEBASE) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/KATSEYEBASE\/status\/2014001393934139641?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 21, 2026<\/a> <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h2> Fiery reactions on social media<\/h2>\n<p> The frustration is palpable:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> <em>&quot;It&#39;s ridiculous...&quot;<\/em> : many point to the lack of seniority of the group, formed less than 2 years ago with titles like &quot;Debut&quot;, &quot;Touch&quot; and the EP &quot;SIS&quot; (Soft Is Strong).<\/li>\n<li> <em>&quot;The industry is really trying to impose them,&quot;<\/em> critics scoff, seeing this nomination as an aggressive marketing strategy rather than deserved recognition.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p> Despite their relative success\u2014Billboard charts and a sold-out tour\u2014Katseye struggles to win over a segment of the Western and traditional K-pop audience, perceived as a &quot;HYBE product&quot; too tailored for America. This backlash comes as Hybe accelerates its global projects, with a second girl group announced for 2026, recycling former &quot;Dream Academy&quot; contestants.<\/p>\n<p>The moral of the story is that Katseye&#39;s performance at the 68th Grammy Awards could be a turning point: triumph or confirmation of the critics? The fact remains that Katseye embodies HYBE&#39;s ambition to conquer the US charts, at the cost of a controversy that fuels debate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The American girl band Katseye is making headlines after the announcement of their nomination and performance at the...","protected":false},"author":8394,"featured_media":433213,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"disable_msn":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[307],"tags":[97759],"class_list":["post-433209","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-people","tag-news"],"image":{"medium":["https:\/\/www.ma-grande-taille.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Cest-ridicule_-_-cette-annonce-autour-de-la-performance-dun-groupe-feminin-fait-polemique-200x113.jpg",200,113,true],"large":["https:\/\/www.ma-grande-taille.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Cest-ridicule_-_-cette-annonce-autour-de-la-performance-dun-groupe-feminin-fait-polemique-500x281.jpg",500,281,true]},"custom":{"td_video":"","featured_image":"https:\/\/www.ma-grande-taille.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Cest-ridicule_-_-cette-annonce-autour-de-la-performance-dun-groupe-feminin-fait-polemique.jpg","author":{"name":"L\u00e9a Michel","avatar":"https:\/\/www.ma-grande-taille.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/1721220128171-96x96.jpg"},"categories":[{"term_id":307,"name":"Celebrities","slug":"people","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":307,"taxonomy":"category","description":"<p class=\"p2\">It&#39;s no secret that we live in an entertainment society.
