The exhilarating news is in: KATSEYE is officially making waves on the grandest stage of American culture and sports, landing a coveted spot in a Super Bowl brand commercial! This follows their impactful appearance at the GRAMMY Awards, solidifying their status as a global powerhouse.
Super Bowl Spotlight: A Cultural Statement
On February 9th, the six phenomenal members of KATSEYE—Daniela, Lara, Manon, Megan, Sophia, and Yoonchae—will captivate millions during the NFL Championship game. They are set to star in a campaign commercial for global insurance giant State Farm, joining Hollywood star Hailee Steinfeld and comedian Keegan-Michael Key. A snippet released on State Farm’s official YouTube channel earlier this week already grabbed immense attention, showcasing KATSEYE performing to Bon Jovi’s iconic anthem, ‘Livin’ on a Prayer.’ The energy and synchronized movements even in that brief clip hint at their powerful stage presence.
The Super Bowl isn’t just a sporting event; it’s a cultural phenomenon, drawing an astounding 127.7 million viewers across TV and streaming platforms last year. Advertisements during this event are considered the pinnacle of the entertainment world, commanding record-breaking rates—reportedly exceeding $10 million for a 30-second slot this year, selling out faster than ever before. For KATSEYE, this isn’t merely about visibility; it’s a powerful cultural signal, declaring their identity and value on a monumental platform. The campaign’s message extends far beyond initial viewership, sparking ongoing discussions and fan engagement across online and social media.

Ahead of their Super Bowl ad debut, they are slated for their first appearance on NBC’s ‘The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon’ on February 5th. Fans are already buzzing thanks to a witty video on the show’s official social media, where Jimmy Fallon himself parodied a line from KATSEYE’s new track, ‘Internet Girl’ – “Eat Zucchini” – building palpable excitement for their performance chemistry on the show.
Formed through ‘The Debut: Dream Academy,’ an audition project rooted in the K-Pop methodology, KATSEYE stands as a brilliant showcase of the visionary planning behind HYBE Chairman Bang Si-hyuk‘s ‘Multi-home, Multi-genre’ creative approach, emphasizing global connection and diverse artistic expression.
