- Katseye released the official trailer for Wild Hearts, a concert film described as a "love letter to the Eyekons" that arrives Aug. 12 — two days before their third EP Wild drops on Aug. 14.
- Manon Bannerman, on hiatus since February, appears in several clips in the trailer including Lollapalooza performance footage, a dance rehearsal, and a social media clip, despite not being featured on the lead single "Pinky Up" or its music video.
- HYBE x Geffen denied reports that Bannerman would rejoin Katseye for their Coachella set, though she later made a cameo during PinkPantheress' Coachella performance.
- Bannerman has stated she was having "positive conversations" with the label, but Eyekons have speculated about the true extent of her hiatus.
- Katseye earned two 2026 Grammy nominations — Best New Artist and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for "Gabriela" — and three American Music Awards in May: Best Music Video ("Gnarly"), New Artist of the Year, and Breakthrough Pop Artist.
- The Wildworld Tour launches in September, hitting cities across North America, the U.K., and Europe.
Why it matters: The trailer's inclusion of Bannerman — despite her hiatus and absence from "Pinky Up" — positions the film as a bridge between the group's full history and current lineup, feeding directly into the Aug. 14 EP and September Wildworld Tour launch. For HYBE x Geffen, the tightly coordinated release strategy capitalizes on a group riding two Grammy nods and three AMAs.
