also BARELY related to prev but i watched that katseye performance recently and this is my first time ever watching them and its very 🤔 intriguing bc they like... its not aegyo/kawaii per se but theres definitely some sort of charm that they carry. like this self assured vibe that reminds me of tiktoks, w yknow how ppl in tiktoks have this performative vibe LOL very bad description but iykyk. also i dont mean 'performative' in any derogatory way, but as in its a performance, its exaggerated, etc. that like 'day in the life of a [___]' self-assured vibe. and it makes me think like.. is this the western equivalent of aegyo/kawaii/etc? its p remarkable to me that a company finally figured out a group concept thats a balanced mix of western/eastern sensibilities, cuz attempts in the past to create an 'international' girl group oftentimes doesnt strike the right balance and it just feels offputting to most audiences. but katseye does actually feel like a proper blend between an american girl group and a k-pop group.. its interesting
