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.
