fans and Internet user interaction To Katsi talking about Manon
Many people took to their accounts to express their opinions on this matter. Many people commented about how their statements were just promotional and said it was for damage control. One person even commented, “These PR answers and the fact that hxg didn’t let the girls talk about Manon until after the music video was released is very telling. One day before Coachella, an interviewer is now magically able to ask about Manon after she’s been on hiatus for a full 2 months already???? HXG might have the devil on their payroll.”
“One netizen shared his opinion and said, “It’s great to hear this but I still won’t be able to stream on my pinky. Hippy removed Manon from the song and it’s unforgivable. Megan and Lara are real.” One netizen commented, “They weren’t allowed to properly acknowledge Manon until after the release of that damn song when the public finally knew she wasn’t in it anymore… Everything about this is so dark and reeks of capitalist gain at the expense of Manon’s well-being.”
“KATSEYE has been in the public eye due to the controversy and uncertainty surrounding Manon’s role in the group. It has been a month since the member announced that she would be stopping work due to health reasons, and fans have speculated that the idol is no longer with the group. There have been no comments from the company or the singer herself about whether or not she is still part of the group.
