KATSEYE’s Megan and Yoonchae have surprised fans by openly discussing the truth behind their rumored “beef,” revealing that the tension between them actually began long before their debut.

During a recent live stream, the two members chatted candidly with fans about their trainee days and the early stages of Dream Academy. When the topic of their alleged conflict surfaced, the pair didn’t shy away from addressing it.

According to Yoonchae, she used to talk with Megan frequently when the program first began. However, Megan admitted that as the pressure increased, her attitude changed.

Megan openly stated that she “started becoming a b tch,” taking responsibility for her behavior and explaining that she had been “very stressed.”

The conflict reportedly intensified before their debut when the group was preparing for “Debut.” Yoonchae recalled confronting Megan at one point:

Yoonchae: “She goes, ‘Megan, can I talk to you?’ and I’m like ‘yeah.’ […] So, she goes, ‘Megan, are you mad at me?’”
Megan: “And I was like, ‘No.’”
Megan: laughs
Yoonchae: “She was like, ‘No, I’m just… just kind of stressed.’”

Member Sophia ended up caught in the middle as Yoonchae also confided in her, which Megan admitted made her feel guilty later.

The two explained that their “beef” came in waves but clarified that it never escalated to anything physical. Instead, they said that the clashes actually helped them grow closer.

Megan added that she was dealing with personal frustration at the time, causing small things Yoonchae did to irritate her more than they should have. Thankfully, both members shared that they haven’t had any issues “in a while,” and emphasized that the group now handles conflicts in healthy ways.

Fans reacted with a mix of amusement, surprise, and admiration for the pair’s honesty, noting that their openness only highlights the strong bond within KATSEYE.
