Katseye fans or EYEKONS, as they call themselves, are already imagining what an OT6 performance could look like as the global girl group prepares to take the stage at the 2026 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.
The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show will take place in Los Angeles on 18 October 2026 and will be streamed live on YouTube, Instagram and TikTok, and KATSEYE was officially announced as part of this year's musical line-up on 30 September, alongside Tate McRae, Megan Thee Stallion and Megan Moroney.
The announcement has also prompted fans to discuss the possibility of an OT6 performance.
Fans Are Already Imagining An OT6 Stage
KATSEYE originally debuted as a six-member group comprising Daniela, Lara, Manon, Megan, Sophia, and Yoonchae. Despite the current hiatuses affecting Sophia and Manon, the group's official website continues to list all six members, keeping hope alive inside their fandom spaces that eventually, the group will perform as six again.
Following the Victoria's Secret announcement, fans have been discussing what the performance could look like with the complete line-up.
Some fans have expressed their hopes for an OT6 stage, with comments along the lines of "Imagine OT6" reflecting the desire to see the original six-member formation perform on such a high-profile fashion stage.
The reaction comes at a particularly notable moment for the group. KATSEYE has been performing and promoting with a reduced line-up while Sophia and Manon are on hiatus. Recent coverage has confirmed that Daniela, Lara, Megan and Yoonchae have continued appearing for performances and promotional activities.
However, Victoria's Secret has confirmed KATSEYE as a performer without announcing that all six members will participate.
KATSEYE Joins A Major Victoria's Secret Line-Up
The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show is set to return to Los Angeles for the 2026 edition, with the event scheduled for Sunday, 18 October 2026.
KATSEYE will share the musical bill with four major names from different corners of contemporary pop music: Megan Thee Stallion, Tate McRae and Megan Moroney. Victoria's Secret has described the line-up as an all-women line-up.
For KATSEYE, the appearance represents another major fashion and entertainment crossover for a group whose identity has increasingly extended beyond the traditional K-Pop framework.
Formed through HYBE and Geffen Records' global girl-group project, KATSEYE emerged from the 2023 audition programme The Debut: Dream Academy. The group's formation was later documented in the Netflix series Pop Star Academy: KATSEYE.
The Victoria's Secret stage therefore gives KATSEYE another opportunity to perform for an international audience while appearing alongside established solo artists.
Is OT6 Still Possible?
For fans hoping to see all six members, the biggest question is whether Sophia and Manon will be able to participate.
At present, there is no official confirmation from Victoria's Secret that the performance will feature all six KATSEYE members. The fashion brand's announcement confirms KATSEYE as an act, but does not specify the individual members who will appear on stage.
That distinction is important as fan discussion continues online. An OT6 performance remains something supporters can hope for, rather than something that has been announced.
The excitement nevertheless highlights how closely fans associate KATSEYE with its original six-member identity. The group has built its audience around the contrasting personalities, backgrounds and performance styles of Daniela, Lara, Manon, Megan, Sophia, and Yoonchae.
With the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show only weeks away, fans will likely continue watching for further details about KATSEYE's performance, including the song choice, styling and stage formation.
For now, the confirmed news is that KATSEYE is heading to one of fashion's most recognisable stages. Whether that eventually becomes an OT6 moment is still to be revealed.
