The highly anticipated KATSEYE: WILD HEARTS movie is almost here. The global girl group’s first-ever theatrical documentary arrives in cinemas worldwide for a limited engagement starting August 12, 2026—just two days before the release of their third EP, WILD.
This special cinema event serves as a love letter to the EYEKONS (the group’s dedicated fans) and offers an intimate look at KATSEYE’s rapid rise and bold new era.
What Is the KATSEYE: WILD HEARTS Movie About?
KATSEYE: WILD HEARTS is a 1-hour-20-minute music documentary that chronicles the group’s journey from the intense pressure of the Dream Academy competition to chart-topping success and global stardom.
It features never-before-seen footage, fan-submitted EYEKONS videos from around the world, and candid interviews with the members. The film explores the powerful bond between KATSEYE and their fans while highlighting the highs, setbacks, sacrifices, and breakthroughs that shaped them.
Directed by Nadia Hallgren (known for Netflix’s Pop Star Academy: KATSEYE and the Michelle Obama documentary Becoming), the project comes from the same team behind the hit Netflix series. It is produced by Interscope Films and Boardwalk Pictures in partnership with HYBE x Geffen, and distributed by Trafalgar Releasing.
Latest Updates: Premiere, Interviews, and Member Appearances
On August 4, 2026, four members of KATSEYE—Lara Raj, Megan Skiendiel, Daniela Avanzini, and Yoonchae Jeung—walked the pink carpet at the Los Angeles premiere held at AMC The Grove 14.
Leader Sophia Laforteza was unable to attend due to illness. Lara shared that Sophia was resting, sent her love to fans, and wished she could be there.
Manon Bannerman, who has been on a temporary hiatus from group activities since February 2026 to focus on her health and well-being, does not appear at promotional events but is featured in the film. In recent interviews at the premiere, the members expressed how meaningful it was to see Manon included, describing her as an incredible and important part of KATSEYE’s journey forever. They said fans will be excited to experience those moments on the big screen.
The members described the documentary as more authentic and raw than previous projects, giving audiences a closer look at the daily grind, rehearsals, and genuine side of their lives that is rarely shown.
