Global girl group KATSEYE continues to capture hearts worldwide, and this time, they’ve made waves in Malaysia with a playful twist on their hit song “Gnarly”. The six-member girl group is known for their high-energy performances and undeniable love for their fans, and their latest viral moments prove just that.
Recently, local TikToker AlexHKF posted a series of videos that have since gone viral, showing what seems to be an online interview or fan meet with KATSEYE. In one clip, the girls sang “Gnarly” in Malay, while in another, they learned simple Malay phrases with Alex, sparking excitement among fans alike. The videos quickly spread across social media, with many praising the group for their effort and humour in embracing local culture.
During the lighthearted exchange, Alex taught the members to say phrases such as “apa khabar” and “KATSEYE sayang korang”, perhaps he’s preparing them for a future concert in Malaysia? Fans were especially delighted to hear the group weave local favourites like teh tarik and ayam goreng into the lyrics of “Gnarly”, alongside cultural references such as Subang Jaya and the beloved Myvi. To wrap up, the girls left fans grinning by saying “jumpa lagi, Malaysia.”
The comments section was instantly flooded with excitement. Many expressed pride in hearing Subang Jaya mentioned and surprise at the idols speaking Malay. Others shared how proud they felt to be Malaysian and called for the group to consider holding a concert in the country.
Moments like these highlight why the girl group has built such a loyal global following. Their willingness to connect with fans on a cultural level shows the group’s authenticity and charm, solidifying their status as the “it girls” of the moment and attracting countless brand collaborations.
With the overwhelming love from Malaysian fans, many now hope that KATSEYE will one day make their way here for a concert. Watch the full videos here:
