KATSEYE’s Megan performs while seated at the side of the stage, wearing dark sunglasses, as she recovers from a concussion. The girl group played the Moody Center in Austin, Texas, on November 10 as part of its Wildworld Tour.
Yoonchae, Lara and Daniela handled the full, dance-heavy set. Megan stayed in a chair for most of the night. Fan videos showed her singing parts of the songs and moving gently to the beat.
Megan’s message to the crowd
“I’m so excited to be back on this stage,” Megan told the audience in one fan-recorded clip. “Thank you guys so much for showing me so much support — I’m feeling so much better.”
Days earlier, she had warned fans what to expect. In an update on Weverse, a fan platform, she said the Austin show would go ahead with “reduced choreography, less intense movement and taking breaks as needed.”
“I won’t be going full out just yet!” she added. She said her doctors had recommended the limits and that she would need to be reassessed “before returning to unrestricted performances.”
Fans split over the decision
Many fans, who call themselves EYEKONs, questioned whether a loud, crowded arena was safe for someone with a head injury. “are they serious??? why is she not FULLY on recovery this actually scares me…,” one fan wrote on X under a video of the show.
Another wrote that it was “a terrible environment for someone with a concussion.” Some called for the tour to be canceled.
Shows already called off
On November 5, Megan said on her Instagram Story that she had suffered a concussion. She wrote that she was “devastated” and “doing everything I possibly can to recover.”
The group had already postponed or canceled shows in Detroit, Chicago and Minneapolis, first citing illness. In its own statement, the group said the label made the decision to postpone Chicago and Minneapolis. “We’ll announce the rescheduled dates as soon as possible, so please hold on to your tickets,” it wrote.
A group already short-handed
KATSEYE is touring without two members. Manon went on hiatus in February and has no confirmed return date. Sophia stepped away to focus on her well-being and is expected to rejoin in January.
The North American leg of the tour began on October 13. Megan also sprained her ankle in August, which forced the group to pull out of Olivia Rodrigo’s Daisy Chain Fields festival.
Before Austin, Megan told fans she was grateful to be back. “I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity to be there, even if I have to do things a little differently this time,” she wrote.
