KATSEYE’s story is heading to the bookshelf. Penguin Workshop announced“KATSEYE: A Who HQ Illustrated Biography,”a 40-page picture book available for preorder on Amazon now, with a release date set for March 2027. The book traces the group’s path from HYBE auditions to their debut album and first tour, written by Ruqayyah Daud and illustrated by Alexandra Badiu.
The cover is what’s got fans buzzing. All six members appear, including Manon, who announced a temporary hiatus in February 2026, and Sophia, who took a break in August for mental health. Neither is currently performing on the Wildworld Tour, which makes the full-group artwork feel significant to a fandom that’s been waiting on updates. The book itself opens with the group announcing their first tour, which featured all six members last fall.
It’s the latest sign that children’s books about pop stars are having a moment, giving younger fans a way into the stories behind their favorite groups. Whether the cover is a hint at a full reunion or simply a celebration of the group at their peak, it’s keeping all six members in the spotlight while the tour continues without them. So, are you preordering a copy, or waiting until March 2027?
