HYBE Faces Major Heat For Labeling Girl Group Member “Lazy” And “Selfish”
Fans of KATSEYE have been left thoroughly disturbed by HYBE’s treatment of Manon.
Manon’s dynamic with the label has often been a point of debate among fans, with many expressing concern about her potential mistreatment. The situation recently escalated when some noticed that the singer was passively labelled as “lazy” and “selfish” in an official fan quiz released by HYBE X GEFFEN.
As per fan-shared photos, the specific quiz sheet for Manon asked fans, “What does Manon think is her best feature?” and two of the options under the question were “her selfishness” and “her laziness.”

This immediately ticked off Eyekons (KATEYE fanbase). Many pointed out that none of the other members’ quiz sheets included anything remotely as hostile.

The issue has sparked heated discussion online, with fans demanding answers.

I really hope we can have an honest conversation now about how Manon is treated without people saying we’re trying to victimize her. https://t.co/lGPU6QKkoj

I've had it with that fuckass company. They want to bring her down so bad. They're no longer subtle. In what world does a “best feature” question include "her selfishness" or "her laziness"? And idgaf if it's ragebait. Constantly using a real person as ragebait is mistreatment https://t.co/PHzAeXvviT

Some tried to reason that maybe it was reflective of Manon’s quirky humor, but fans quickly pointed out that she thoroughly disliked being called such words.
This will be Manon again having to tell yall to stfu because she approved those answers 😂 I know she tired of some of her solo stans. https://t.co/Xe8A2Yk21Z pic.twitter.com/VrTpUz6XGr

📖 Has no one considered the possibility that these questions & their multiple-choice options were set or approved by the members? Hard to imagine anything using their name or likeness would be produced without their knowledge
→ The "correct" answers have to come from somewhere https://t.co/utAuLuFwGD

manon hates being called lazy and having her hard work overlooked so why would she approve of “laziness” or “selfishness” being an option for her best feature? https://t.co/zHpedpcFs9 pic.twitter.com/7qZorbsQWr

It is so tiring and frustrating seeing how her own company continuously sets her up, manon has spoken out about how people saying that she didn’t work hard for this hurt her a lot, because of how the company portrayed her and now they’re using the same labels they created as her… https://t.co/QMLCwspUDC

With the pictures of the quiz sheet going viral, the outrage is not showing any signs of slowing down. Some fans are even demanding that Manon prepare to go solo. HYBE, however, has yet to respond to any of the criticism.
