ILLIT talks about what their favorite part of filming the “I Got Your Back” music video and how their ‘MAMIHLAPINATAPAI’ mini album is a different look and sound for them as a group at KCON LA 2026.

On Friday, it was announced that Sophia would be taking a step back from KATSEYE to prioritize her “mental health and wellness,” following a similar announcement from her groupmate Manon back in February. Now the six-person global girl group is down to a quartet — and it’s unclear when either member might return to the fold, especially after a six-month absence for Manon.

The news comes at a particularly busy time for KATSEYE, with their Wild album arriving on Friday and their Wildworld Tour — the group’s first global trek — kicking off in October. On the new Billboard Pop Shop Podcast, Katie & Keith are discussing the announcement and what it means for the group’s future. Will both women return, or might they remain a quartet? Listen to our full conversation below:

Also on the show, we’ve got chart news on how Ariana Grande’s new album petal debuts atop the Billboard 200 chart, while the set’s title track debuts in the top five on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart. Plus, Ella Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas” continues to hold firm atop the list for a 17th week, fending off a challenge by Grande’s former No. 1 “hate that I made you love me.”

KATSEYE (Yoonchae, Danielle, Megan and Lara) have a lot on their minds. The international girl group share how they feel about their new documentary Wild Hearts, what they’re excited for their EYEKONS to see, their thoughts on seeing Manon in the documentary, as well as react to “Animal” becoming their highest charting song on the Hot 100 chart.

Tetris Kelly
Alright, guys. We have been on such a crazy journey, and I remember how we felt about Pop Star Academy when we watched that. But how does it feel seeing this part of your story on the big screen?

Danielle (KATSEYE)
I think it’s good to see. It’s very much more authentic. You get a little bit more of that rawness, more of like the BTS, more of that grind, that day-to-day grind that people I feel like don’t really get to see a lot, so I think it’s very nice that we’re finally like making a film to show that.

Tetris Kelly
Yeah, you talk about the grind. I mean, you guys just dropped “Animal, which became your highest-charting song on the Billboard Hot 100 to date. So congratulations! How do you guys feel about “Animal” getting all this success right now?

Megan (KATSEYE)
We’re so grateful. We couldn’t be more grateful. We’ve worked so hard, and we’re continuing to. And it just makes us so much more excited for the world tour to come out, and just the album and everything. So yeah, we we love you guys so much. We couldn’t.

Tetris Kelly
I mean, the tour. We’re getting bigger venues this time. So what are we going to see? Any surprises? What can the fans expect out there?

Lara (KATSEYE)
I think lots of vocals, more vocal moments. I think a bit more like interaction with the fans. It’s just we’re planning like a really, really, really sick show. We just started rehearsals, and we’re grinding. It’s going to be awesome.

Tetris Kelly
And I’ve tried to, of course, be as respectful as possible and give you guys space. But now that you guys have talked about it a couple times with Manal being in this film. How does it feel emotionally being here tonight and seeing that?

Lara (KATSEYE)
I think it’s so so beautiful. She is such an incredible, important, and beautiful part of KATSEYE’s journey and will forever be. So of course she is in this movie, and like it’s so beautiful to watch that and watch the journey as it happened, and also for all the EYEKON to see. I think that they’re going to be so happy. They love her so much, and we love her so much. And it’s it’s just it’s beautiful. It’s awesome.

Tetris Kelly
I love her. I love you guys, and I’m so excited to see the film. Thanks, guys. Thank you. Of course.

We hung out with some of the hottest stars at Lollapalooza, and from burning hot sets and views right beside stage to the hottest after parties. Day one at Lala, we kick things off being “Lawless” with SB19.

SB19 

It’s the first time that we ever performed that song, and we just released that like a few hours ago. So when I was performing earlier, like my mind went blank. Just had to move, you know. It’s it’s Lollapalooza, and there are lots of people watching, so had to move lawlessly.

Tetris Kelly    

Then the always iconic Patron Hacienda had a surprise performance by Lil Sims. Night one was definitely all about the parties. We got Flavor Flav with Public Enemy at Soho House. An electric set with YUNGBLUD at Riviera Theater. Slayyyter made Chicago “Dance at Salt Shift. And AirBnb gave us the best summer night by blessing us with Zara Larsson at the big theater. Day two, we spent the morning swinging by CORTIS at House of Blues. Before chatting with artist Whitney Whitney about losing her voice and her journey to Lolla. 

Whitney Whitney  

The process was the worst thing I’ve ever been through. Like losing the thing that meant the most to me, heartbreaking. Like it really was terrible. But the fact that the timing and like the universe let me sing last week, and now my set is today, I don’t know. Someone’s working in my favor, and I am very excited.

CORTIS 

What’s good, everybody? This is CORTIS 

Juicy J 

and Juicy J. 

CORTIS 

Welcome to Billboard. Working with him kind of came up naturally. Like it’s just like it was a natural step to take. 

Juicy J 

I’m in the best time of my life right now.

CORTIS 

We just did Lollapalooza. That’s crazy. 

Tetris Kelly  0:20  

We’re taking you to CORTIS at Lollapalooza in Billboard All Access. Rain and weather hit Chicago, but it didn’t stop the crowd from going red, red. 

CORTIS 

It was a weather delay. Thank you for the waiting. Of course, we love you.

Tetris Kelly   

And fans got the live debut of “Motion:” with Juicy J.

CORTIS  

Damn, it’s kind of awkward to tell tell this story in front of y’all, in front of him, but man, I’m a big fan of him really since a young kid. I was just listening, bumping 365 all the time. Listening to all those classics is kind of really put me onto a lot of South hip hop, Southern hip hop.

Juicy J 

It’s amazing, man. These guys are super talented, man. They can sing, they can dance, they can rap. It’s an honor to work with them, man. You know, I’m blessed to still be, you know, been in this game for a long time, over 20 years, and still go to the studio and cook up with new artists and and create hits for real, man. God is great.

Tetris Kelly  

All right, hanging out. I should probably call the police because I’m with some “Lawless” guys. What’s up, SB19? Yo,

SB19 

What’s up? We are SB19 from the Philippines. Let’s go!

Tetris Kelly  

Alright, so you guys got to perform “Lawless” for Lollapalooza tonight, the brand new single. How was that?

Pablo 

It was great. 

Stell 

Yeah, it was great.

Pablo 

It’s the first time that we ever performed that song, and then we just released that like a few hours ago. So, like when we when we when I was performing earlier, like my mind went blank. Like, just had to move. You know, it’s Lollapalooza, and there are lots of people watching, so had to move.

Tetris Kelly  

Man, you guys are dropping the music video as well. So how was it to do the creative behind this song? Because it’s like so raw. It’s a really fun song.

Justin 

Yeah, basically we just need to be “Lawless” and you know show the world how chaotic we are because that’s that’s being authentic and we want it to be authentic, so that’s it. Let’s go, Lawlesspalooza.

Josh 

If you’ve noticed that there’s a symbolism, it’s a goat, because it means goated.

Tetris Kelly 

I mean, you guys are goated, especially the vocals. You know, I was giving you a hard time about time, but time, the vocals, 10 out of 10. And then you guys also previewed a little special moment for your song from the DreamWorks movie. So how was that to debut the?

Stell   

Well, of course, we would like to thank DreamWorks for giving us opportunity to sing one of the legendary song from the rapper in the Philippines, Sir Francis Magalona. We’re very honored to do that. But of course, yes, doing an official soundtrack for Forgotten Island is something that we’re very proud of, and we think that we hope we give justice to the song, and we’re very excited for the fans to hear it, and of course, we’re very excited to to see the film, and we hope to see it together while we were here in the U.S. maybe.
