Katseye Faces Wave of Criticism Over Performance During First World Tour Concert After Shaky NRJ Music Awards Set
--
Key members Sophia (the leader) and Manon were forced to temporarily sit out the tour to prioritize their physical and mental well-being. Their absence—particularly as they were central vocalists—placed a heavy burden on the remaining four members, who had to redistribute vocal parts and adjust choreography; this is believed to have contributed to increased physical exhaustion during performances.
In addition to performance-related challenges, the tour also saw several incidents that drew public attention. During the Manchester show, a dispute involving ticket resellers regarding age restrictions for the standing area left young fans disappointed.

Additionally, during the group's performance in Paris, an unpleasant incident occurred when member Megan was subjected to rude behavior by some audience members after stepping down near the front row to interact directly with the crowd.
Amid a wave of criticism from internet users, KATSEYE’s dedicated fans—known as "Eyekons"—were quick to come to the group's defense. They argue that the raw audio captured in online streams or smartphone recordings does not accurately reflect the actual sound quality heard at the venue.
The microphone's high sensitivity—combined with the lack of a filter to eliminate distortion—has been cited as the reason the vocals sounded poor in the video. Fans are also asking for public understanding, noting that the group's first world tour involves an extremely packed schedule and is physically grueling.
