Some time on April 2 EST, fans spotted the description of "KATSEYE" erased from member Manon's Instagram profile.
This development comes approximately 2 months after HYBE Labels and Geffen Records announced Manon's temporary hiatus from group activities due to "health reasons" on February 20 of this year. However, the announcement caused a stir when not long after, Manon seemingly denied the explanation that her hiatus was due to her health.
Meanwhile, her most recent Weverse DM read:
Many netizens are interpreting Manon's recent movements as a sign that she will leave KATSEYE soon.
Some reacted with comments like,
"I'm not surprised."
"I hope KATSEYE gets even bigger."
"I don't understand how someone can feel so little responsibility for their decision."
"Is she taking off?"
"This isn't setting the group back so whatever."
"This was kind of expected from their documentary but it's too bad because there were so many other talented contestants who could have taken her spot TT."
"This is why K-Pop considers character an important quality. Being in a group comes with responsibilities."
"I wish Nayoung had made the group TT."
"She was the least desperate on Dream Academy."
Meanwhile, KATSEYE will release their new single "Pinky Up" on April 9 at 12 AM EST as 5-members.
