Sophia Laforteza of KATSEYE attends the 68th GRAMMY Awards at Crypto.com Arena on February 1, 2026 in Los Angeles, California. And now the group is down to a quartet, as Sophia Laforteza is also stepping back from the Grammy-nominated group. A message on the group’s Weverse page states that Sophia is “temporarily unable to participate in upcoming promotional activities” in order to prioritize her “mental health and wellness.” “While Sophia herself is eager to perform alongside her members, the health, safety, and long-term well-being of our artists will always remain our highest priority,” the message continues.
