KATSEYE’s Manon Seemingly Exposes The Truth Behind Her Hiatus In “Heartbreaking” Update
KATSEYE Manon’s temporary hiatus and her recent social media activity have raised serious questions about her treatment within the group.
The star recently liked an Instagram video titled “Another Black girl subjected to racism and label mistreatment yet again,” which highlighted the challenges faced by Black stars in girl groups.
After explaining the hiatus, the video notes that many are convinced this temporary break is not Manon’s choice.
It [HYBE and Manon’s statements contradicting] has many people speculating that this hiatus was not her decision.

The video pointed out how Manon has faced a surge of racism and abhorrent hate ever since the group debuted. The person in the video then points to Manon’s label and the other KATSEYE members.
It really has people looking at the label as well as some of the group members. If you see someone that you seem to care about and is your sister why aren’t you saying or doing anything to stop the hate.

Manon’s like comes shortly after her hiatus announcement and amid public controversy surrounding Daniela’s father’s comments about her.

The gesture has fueled speculation that her break from group activities may not have been entirely voluntary and that label decisions, as well as internal group dynamics, may have played a significant role.
I’m so heartbroken. They chased after her, flew a team out for her, made her the face of the group, after using her for engagement they turned around & created a documentary painting her as lazy and difficult, they hid her, left her out of things and now forcing her into a hiatus pic.twitter.com/6ZjEjPwL2t

Some even fear that Manon may not return to the group, as tensions seem to have worsened.
Manon liking this reel.. she’s definitely not returning, poor girl was probably enduring so much bs from the label down to her members families.. honestly hope she’s good pic.twitter.com/iKq9dybSRC

As of now, HYBE and Geffen Records have not provided additional clarification, leaving Manon’s future with KATSEYE uncertain.
