KATSEYE member Megan Skiendiel has spoken out after she said someone grabbed her chest while the group was performing in Paris.
The 20-year-old singer, who has Singaporean heritage, addressed the incident through Weverse DM after KATSEYE’s concert at the Accor Arena on Wednesday, 9 September.
Incident Happened During Audience Interaction
The incident occurred during the group’s performance of “Time Lapse”, when the KATSEYE members leave the stage and move closer to the audience.
Megan said the members enjoy getting to see fans up close and holding their hands during this part of the show.
However, she asked those attending concerts not to touch the members in inappropriate places or behave inappropriately towards them.
She then said someone had grabbed her chest during the Paris performance, leaving her “a bit spooked”.
Megan added that while she understood both the performers and audience were excited, she wanted the interaction to remain respectful so everyone could enjoy it safely.
Fan-recorded footage from the concert subsequently circulated online. CNA reported that videos appeared to show Megan looking uncomfortable after she had been among the audience.

Official KATSEYE listings show that the group performed at Paris’ Accor Arena at 8.30pm on 9 September. The European leg is scheduled to continue at Amsterdam’s Ziggo Dome on Friday, 11 September.
Megan herself ended her message by telling fans she would see them in Amsterdam.
KATSEYE was formed through a collaboration between HYBE and Geffen Records. Megan was born in Hawaii to a Singaporean Chinese mother and an American-Swedish father, and has previously spoken about maintaining close ties with her relatives in Singapore.
