SEOUL, April 17 (AJP) - Los Angeles-based K-pop girl group KATSEYE will release their new album this summer.

According to their agencies HYBE and Geffen Records, their third EP "Wild" is slated for release on Aug. 14, more than a year after their previous mini album "Beautiful Chaos" was released in June last year.

KATSEYE, consisting of multinational members, have recently gained traction through appearances at major music festivals like the Coachella Festival in California and other activities to promote their songs.

The sextet also topped global music platform Spotify's rankings for most listeners, calculated on a 28-day basis, with 31.3 million as of Friday, followed by another K-pop act BLACKPINK's 24.78 million.

That appeared to be attributed to their latest single, "Pinky Up," which has ranked highly on major music charts overseas including Amazon Music, Apple Music and Spotify, within just a few days after its release last Thursday.

Formed through the 2023 reality singing competition show "Dream Academy" in collaboration with HYBE and Geffen Records, the six members - Daniela, Lara, Manon, Megan, Sophia and Yoonchae - have been groomed as a K-pop girl group targeting global audiences.
