20250529 TeenVogue Sophia相关

For KATSEYE leader 22-year-old @sophia_laforteza, much of her inspiration comes from her Filipino heritage. She says it’s in the way she dresses, why she carries the flag whenever she can, and how she expresses herself. “I want to be somebody who will never hide the fact that I'm Filipino,” she says. “I want to be loud about it … It means a lot when somebody embraces their culture, especially their Philippine culture and their heritage.”

As a child, she found joy in seeing Nicole Scherzinger and Vanessa Hudgens rep the country, and more recently, Olivia Rodrigo. But perhaps the most influential Filipino talent in her life was her very own mother, Carla Guevara-Laforteza, a theater star who has performed on stages across the world. This dynamic influenced many of Sophia’s habits and her leadership skills, from the tea she drinks to the baby cologne she uses instead of a daily perfume.
