The six-piece act, which features Filipino member Sophia Laforteza, will be in the Philippines from September 17 to 19 as part of their Asian tour.

"We're excited to come to the Philippines, like we've been waiting for this moment," Sophia said in an interview with ABS-CBN News.

"I told the girls they're (fans) gonna be harmonizing to our songs," added Sophia, daughter of singer-actress Carla Guevara-Laforteza.

Sophia said she would share local food with her bandmates, who come from the United States, South Korea and Switzerland.

"We're gonna have lechon, we’re gonna have sinigang, we’re gonna have adobo, we’re gonna try halo-halo, taho, and we're gonna have balut, everything," she said.

Managed jointly by South Korean entertainment company HYBE and American label Geffen Records, KATSEYE was formed through the talent competition program "The Debut: Dream Academy."

The sextet debuted in June with the single "Debut" from its first extended play (EP) "SIS (Soft IS Strong)." The EP was later released in August.

The group's creation was also captured in the Netflix docu-series "Pop Star Academy: KATSEYE."

"I feel like the documentary was a full-on time travel experience," Sophia said of the Netflix feature. "It's crazy 'cause we were all babies [then]."

"But those things that happened years ago, and seeing where we are now it's such a jump, a beautiful journey."

Meanwhile, member Daniela, who hails from the United States, shared her excitement over the virality of the group's song "Touch," which has spawned a popular dance challenge on social media.

"It's so crazy like I never thought that so many people will be dancing to our songs and singing to our lyrics, it's weird but I'm so grateful," she said.
