The situation around KATSEYE and Manon keeps shifting. At first, fans thought she was taking a break only for health reasons. Later, her social media posts suggested she faced racial discrimination. The other members have remained silent on the matter while focusing on their schedules. Now, as KATSEYE announces their upcoming EP, fans have quickly highlighted Manon’s absence and started asking questions again.
KATSEYE Set To Release New EP ‘Wild’ But Fans Unhappy With Manon’s Absence
On April 15, the global girl group revealed their new EP titled WILD. However, the official website listed only five members for the album versions. Manon’s name was not there. Not just this, fans also noticed that she was missing from the photocards. Hence, this made many people worry that she would not be part of the new release.
Some remembered that Manon was also left out of the song ‘Pinky Up’. Many believed she had already recorded her parts but was being kept away on purpose. People started thinking that an announcement about her leaving the group could come soon.
But just as fans began to lose hope, Manon surprised everyone. On April 16, she posted a short message on Weverse saying she missed her fans. This simple message brought back a lot of hope. Many now believe she might still return to KATSEYE.
