KATSEYE’s Manon Bannerman Breaks Silence After Announcing Hiatus as Fans Spot Instagram Bio Change
Manon says she feels supported as HYBE x Geffen and KATSEYE discuss her future after her temporary hiatus.
Manon Bannerman told fans on Weverse she is "having positive conversations" with label HxG, reassuring them she remains "happy and healthy" despite her ongoing temporary hiatus from KATSEYE.
Back in February, HxG announced a "temporary hiatus" for Manon to focus on her health, stating the group "fully support this decision" while continuing scheduled activities.
Speculation about her future intensified after Manon removed KATSEYE from her Instagram bio—now reading "mademoiselle manzanita"—and was notably absent from the "Pinky Up" teaser shared yesterday.
The group continues with members Daniela Avanzini, Lara Raj, Megan Skiendiel, Sophia Laforteza, and Yoonchae Jeung preparing for their Coachella debut on April 10, one day after "Pinky Up" releases.
Little Mix's Leigh-Anne Pinnock publicly supported Manon, citing a "vicious cycle" facing Black women in girl groups, echoing Manon's earlier struggles as the only Black member.
