KATSEYE - “SIS (Soft Is Strong)” official store exclusive signed vinyl

Prize:

The winner of the 2025 Outguess Kent Contest will receive a copy of KATSEYE’S “SIS (Soft Is Strong)” official store exclusive signed vinyl. The prize will only be shipped to U.S. addresses. Why a KATSEYE record? Because I wasn’t able to buy the signed WICKED vinyl.

KATSEYE’S debut EP, “SIS (Soft Is Strong),” is out now via HYBE x Geffen Records. “SIS (Soft Is Strong),” the EP’s title, reflects one of KATSEYE’s core beliefs – Soft Is Strong – and also nods to the sisterhood they’ve forged, despite coming from immensely different cultures. The six members of KATSEYE are: DANIELA (USA); LARA (USA); MANON (Switzerland); MEGAN (USA); SOPHIA (Philippines); and YOONCHAE (South Korea).

Tracklist:
1. Debut
2. Touch
3. My Way
4. I’m Pretty
5. Tonight I Might

Contents of the package include Exclusive Colored Vinyl, Gatefold Jacket, Sleeve, and 6 Double-Sided Photocards, and a Signed Poster.
