In less than three years, Yoonchae Jeong, Daniela Avanzini, Manon Bannerman, Sophia Laforteza, Lara Raj, and Megan Skiendiel went from competing on Netflix\u2019s Dream Academy<\/em> to becoming the six members of Katseye, an international girl group created by K-pop label HYBE and Geffen Records. Even if you haven\u2019t heard their music, you\u2019ve probably seen them: Last August, the group\u2019s viral ad for Gap denim was released on the heels of another<\/em> jean campaign\u2014you know the one\u2014throwing them into the center of nationwide discourse about inclusivity and representation. In November, the young women received their first-ever Grammy nominations for Best New Artist and Best Pop Duo\/Group Performance for \u201cGabriela\u201d and today, they\u2019ve added yet another accomplishment to their growing list of accolades: global partners and faces of Laneige.<\/p>\n This is a full-circle moment for them, they say, and not only because their artistry has K-pop roots. During Dream Academy<\/em>\u2019s filming, the contestants\u2014whose fans know them by their first names\u2014worked with Laneige on a product placement campaign. \u201cWe were all freaking out,\u201d Sophia says while chatting to Allure<\/em> over Zoom. \u201cThat was one of our first times, as trainees, getting products from a brand.\u201d Yoonchae, a native of Seoul, says that being able to work with the K-beauty brand was especially meaningful to her. \u201cI’m Korean, and I use this brand a lot in real life.\u201d<\/p>\n Clockwise from top left: Daniela, Lara, Yoonchae, Sophia, Manon, and Megan.<\/p>\n <\/span>Courtesy of Laneige<\/span><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n Katseye\u2019s campaign celebrates the brand\u2019s JuicePop Box Lip Tints, a new product that comes in eight music-inspired shades: Pop-Star Peach, Jazzy Jam, Lo-Fi Mauve, Disco Coral, Electro Berry, Red Classic, DJ Plum, and Mocha Remix. For the campaign, each member was given their own shade to wear based on the color and vibe that suited them best, says Lara, who wore DJ Plum to reflect her aspirations as a producer and songwriter. \u201cSome were a bit more bold, some were a bit more calm and neutral,\u201d she says. The group also wore a secret, yet-to-be-released shade that will come out in mid-February.<\/p>\n It\u2019s not the first time the group has shared a beauty product. They often exchanges beauty tips and tricks with one another, like Yoonchae\u2019s signature undereye blush or Lara\u2019s kajal eyeliner. \u201cWe\u2019ve all learned so much from each other, whether it\u2019s skincare routines, how to prep your skin before makeup, or little tricks for long performance days,\u201d Daniela says. \u201cBeing around each other every day, you naturally pick things up and start trying new things you wouldn\u2019t have on your own.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n In less than three years, Yoonchae Jeong, Daniela Avanzini, Manon Bannerman, Sophia Laforteza, Lara Raj, and Megan Skiendiel went from competing on Netflix\u2019s Dream Academy to becoming the six members of Katseye, an international girl group created by K-pop label HYBE and Geffen Records.
