HYBE Idol Faces Drug Use, Bullying Allegations As Condom Photo Goes Viral

KATSEYE‘s Manon is currently facing viral allegations after a photo went viral.

As several members of KATSEYE have been open about their sexuality, there have been an increased number of instances where netizens make assumptions about the other members. A post from Manon’s recent Weverse messages, discussing the visuals of the other members, was quoted along with an image to “counter” the point being made.

The image seems to show Manon with two men, with an ashtray between them, along with what appears to be a condom in her mouth.
