Katseye European tour: Global girl band visits popular fried chicken shop ahead of London gig
The global girl band proved they are just like us when it comes to snacking in London. Nothing beats fried chicken!
Global girl group KATSEYE touched down in London for just 36 hours this week ahead of the opening night of their European Fan Tour - and despite a packed schedule of rehearsals, filming and interviews, the group made sure to squeeze in one very London activity: a visit to Jollibee.
The chart-topping six-piece stopped by the Filipino fast-food chain, which has become a cult hit in the UK thanks to its crispy Chickenjoy, Chicken Sandwich, and sweet-style Jolly Spaghetti.
During their flying visit, the group also sampled UK exclusives including Spicy Chicken Tenders with Sriracha Mayo and Buldak K-Spicy Loaded Fries.
The group’s UK and France tour kicked off on 28 October at Exhibition London in White City, where more than 800 fans and creators gathered for an exclusive event.
Even Jollibee’s iconic mascot made an appearance, spotted mid-interview by member Daniela, who was chatting to Mel C when she noticed the famous bee in the crowd.
The moment sent fans wild online, with some calling it a “celeb spotting” and others jokingly petitioning on TikTok for Jollibee to join every KATSEYE show on tour.
The mascot even joined fans on the dancefloor, showing off moves to the group’s hit songs Gnarly and Gabriella.
Edward Arandia, General Manager for Jollibee UK, said: “Jollibee is all about bringing joy to people around the world. Our values align with KATSEYE, which embodies global unity, diversity, and talent. We’re so glad we could fuel the girls for their UK debut and can’t wait to see them back soon.”
For group member Sophia, the visit was significant, having grown up in the Philippines, where Jollibee was founded in 1978. She introduced her bandmates to her favourite dishes, calling them “mandatory” for first-timers. Fellow member Yoon Chae tucked into the Jolly Spaghetti, a comfort food she often shares with fans on social media.
With the London leg of their tour complete, KATSEYE are now heading across Europe.
