Fans Accuse HYBE Of Excluding Popular Member From Group Purposely
HYBE was recently accused of excluding KATSEYE‘s Manon from promotions and visibility. She has been allegedly absent from many promotions and not given a chance to shine.
She was excluded in their promotion for Glossier. Not only was she not in the photo, she was also covered in the poster.

She was also absent from the performance video for “Gabriella.” Although the star was recently injured and put to rest, fans wonder if it was difficult to reschedule or include her in a different way.

Not only this, but in their recent collaboration with Monster High, fans were upset that Manon was the only one not given a chance to introduce her doll.
@katseyeworld unreal, we’re officially Monster High dolls!! our childhood dream come true. thank you, @Monster High, for bringing our inner mon-STARS to life 🖤
She also did not have a solo photo featured in HYPE BAE. The editor later clarified that the company was the one who sent them the material.

Fans have begun calling out HYBE for their actions.
