KATSEYE's new music video, featuring the members wearing sexy lace lingerie, has sparked major backlash from netizens. The video for their song 'Animal' was released on July 24 (KST), and while it showcases the group's musical talents, the provocative outfits have left fans divided.
The video features a 'fight' scene where some of the members are seen in revealing lingerie, sparking concerns about the appropriateness of such content for their young fanbase. Many fans took to social media to express their confusion and criticism, with some accusing Hybe, KATSEYE's management agency, of over-sexualizing the group.

One Twitter user commented, 'Why does hybe never put Katseye in non-revealing outfits? In their new teaser they're literally in their underwear which is crazy considering their audience is 12-15 year old girls. The over sexualisation needs to be discussed...'
Another fan expressed concern about the group's age, stating, 'isnt dani 22 years old and lara 20 bro, this is crazy to me.'
The backlash against KATSEYE's new music video has sparked a larger conversation about the role of management agencies in shaping an artist's image. While some fans defended the group's right to express themselves through their music and fashion choices, others argued that Hybe's decision to feature the members in revealing lingerie was misguided.
