Now, a few days after the controversy first sparked, Manon has released a video that seemingly addresses the situation. Read on to know more!

KATSEYE Manon’s Reactions To Fans’ Concerns

On July 23, KATSEYE’s Manon took to the group’s Instagram account to release a video of herself lip-syncing to a popular audio. In the clip, Manon mouths the word “Hey people,” and the caption is also the same for the post. Though Manon does not say much in the clip, fans think she is referring to the ongoing controversy that has been going on in the fandom.

Some say that Manon is responding to her fans overreacting to the situation, as they feel that the entire thing has been blown out of proportion. While others feel that Manon’s video should not be used to dismiss the very evident exclusion that she is facing in the group. Some even blame Manon for not addressing the situation properly and leaving room for speculation.

The entire controversy started when it was noticed that Manon’s exclusion became a repeated pattern. One key example of this was when KATSEYE posed with their billboard ad for Glossier. Manon was not seen in the group photo, and to make matters worse, even her face in the ad itself was partially covered.
