HYBE Idol Voices Explicit Support For Palestine, Sparks Massive Reactions
KATSEYE member Manon has found herself in the spotlight after attending a charity event meant to raise funds for Palestine and Sudan.
On January 10, several artists from around the globe came together for a charity concert, hosted by Hollywood stars Bella Hadid and Pedro Pascal, to raise funds for the Sudanese American Physicians Association and the Palestinian Children’s Relief Fund. Popular singers such as Shawn Mendes, Clairo, Jazmine Sullivan, and Daniel Caesar were among the performers. The event reportedly raised $ 5.4 million for humanitarian causes.
For the children who have endured more than any child should, who continue to teach us the true meaning of strength and resilience, and who deserve a better today and a future filled with possibility. ✨💙

KATSEYE member Manon left fans surprised after she posted a photo from the concert on her Instagram story, revealing that she was in the audience.
While this explicit support was already a matter of pride for many, a clip of her yelling “Free Palestine” while leaving the event has caused an even bigger response. Multiple posts containing that clip have gone viral on X (formerly, Twitter), amassing millions of views.
