KATSEYE's 'Gabriela' Performance Video Tops Global Trends

The full performance video for 'Gabriela' by KATSEYE, the global girl group under HYBE, has garnered significant attention from music fans. Released on July 10, the performance video from their second EP 'BEAUTIFUL CHAOS' quickly climbed to the top of the 'YouTube Music Video Trending Worldwide' chart.

The track achieved number one status in 12 countries and regions, including major markets like the United States, Canada, Chile, Colombia, and Paraguay. It also reached the second spot in Mexico, Argentina, and Brazil, indicating its growing popularity in Latin culture.

'Gabriela' features a blend of Latin-inspired acoustic guitar riffs and polished pop sounds, showcasing elements of flamenco, salsa, and tango throughout its choreography. The six members—Daniela, Lara, Manon, Megan, Sofia, and Yoonchae—deliver fluid dance lines and emotionally charged movements, captivating viewers with their precise control and expressive performances.

Particularly striking are KATSEYE's enchanting gazes and facial expressions, which set this performance apart from their previously released official music video that had a telenovela concept. Critics have praised this new video for highlighting KATSEYE's artistic range and potential as artists.

The 'HYBE Power' in the global music market is evident, as KATSEYE is not the only group making waves. On the same day, DY, a reggaeton superstar from HYBE Latin America, released his new song 'Sonríele,' which secured the third spot on the 'YouTube Music Video Trending Worldwide' chart.

Known as 'Daddy Yankee,' DY is one of the most successful artists in Latin music history. His return to the music scene, after announcing his retirement in 2023, surprised fans. His comeback was facilitated by persistent encouragement from HYBE Latin America, with HYBE Chairman Bang Si-hyuk personally discussing music passion and future plans with him.

'Sonríele' carries a heartfelt message and was filmed in significant locations from DY's past, creating a warm and serene atmosphere. The genuine emotions and messages resonate deeply with viewers, leaving a lasting impact.
