KATSEYE, the global girl group known for their energetic performances and distinct sound, has partnered with Hershey’s to celebrate the launch of its latest product, the Creme Bars. This exciting collaboration was unveiled during a photo shoot in July, which aimed to highlight the unique “Pinky Up” gesture of the group alongside the new chocolate treat.

Lara Raj, one of the group members, reflected on the partnership with Hershey’s, describing it as a perfect match for KATSEYE, particularly since Hershey’s products are a staple in their backstage green room. Daniela Avanzini chimed in, suggesting that this collaboration might have been a case of “true manifestation,” hinting at their long-standing affection for the brand.
As part of the promotional campaign, KATSEYE is gearing up for their highly anticipated WILD World Tour, set to begin on September 1 in Dublin. As they hit the road, the members plan to travel with their Hershey’s treats, each sharing personal anecdotes that tie their memories to the brand.
Yoonchae, the youngest member at 18, recalls receiving Hershey’s Kisses from her father whenever he returned from the United States, which instilled a sense of nostalgia in her. Daniela also shared fond memories of Hershey’s chocolates during Halloween, stating that finding one in her trick-or-treat bag meant she had struck “Jackpot!”
Lara Raj fondly remembered her elementary school days when she would anxiously distribute Hershey’s Kisses to classmates as Valentine’s Day gifts. This sweet tradition added a wholesome touch to the school day, as classmates exchanged treats and forged connections over shared chocolate.
Megan, another group member, grew up in a household where her mother was allergic to chocolate, which meant she rarely had it around. However, she has fond memories of roasting marshmallows over a fire pit with Hershey’s chocolate, a treat she recently revisited, reminiscing about childhood joy as she enjoyed multiple s’mores in one evening.
Sophia Laforteza, the oldest member at 23, recently announced she would be taking a break from KATSEYE to focus on her mental health. She shared her love for Hershey’s chocolate syrup drizzled over ice cream and her passion for the diverse flavours of KitKat available in Japan, showcasing a unique aspect of her own culinary experiences with chocolate.
The newly launched Hershey’s Creme Bars are currently available in two enticing flavours: Salted Caramel and Affogato. Retailers across the country have begun stocking this delectable addition, much to the delight of chocolate lovers everywhere.
Adding to the group’s momentum, KATSEYE recently released a new EP titled WILD along with a documentary film called KATSEYE: WILD HEARTS. Sophia indicated that the group is thrilled about the upcoming tour, which will feature a range of new songs and choreography for their fans, affectionately referred to as EYEKONs.
As Laforteza described the group’s evolving sound, she mentioned the changing dynamics of KATSEYE’s artistry. The group’s music is now more experimental and raw, reflecting their vulnerable side and providing fans with a deeper insight into their journey as artists.
Through ongoing performances and creative expressions, KATSEYE aims to share their personal growth and artistic development with the world. They anticipate that their upcoming projects, including the documentary, will resonate with fans as a testament to the experiences that have shaped them since their debut.
With their sweet collaboration with Hershey’s and a promising new chapter on the horizon, KATSEYE is poised to engage with fans like never before, showcasing the talent and creativity that have made them a standout in the global music scene.
