Another interesting thing was noticing Manon quietly removing KATSEYE from her Instagram bio, The Cut recently referring to her as “formerly of KATSEYE", and her growing list of solo projects and brand appearances.
Fans' reaction to Manon's live stream
Soon after the live ended, many took to social media to share their views, and one user wrote, “So does that mean she doesn't have access to her Weverse? Or is it just because she's not allowed to access Hybe-related things?”
Another X user wrote, "Manon really knows how to keep us on edge." "This was so messy of her LMAO", wrote the X third user.
With the cut of stating Manon her as former member has sparked debate on social media. One user wrote, "imo, she's better out of KATSEYE anyways. The whole group just becoming an entire mess with songs that hide their actual talent. No wonder now they all look dead behind the eyes compared to when they debuted."

For the unversed, on February 20 this year, the management of KATSEYE announced that Manon Bannerman is taking a temporary hiatus to focus on her health and well-being. The break has caused significant fan concern after she missed major events like Coachella 2026. Despite rumours of internal tension, she confirmed she is healthy and having positive conversations with management.
