KATSEYE Notes They’re ‘Only as Strong as Our Weakest Member’ Amid Manon Hiatus
KATSEYE opens up to ‘Nylon’ about the complicated dynamics of being in a girl group, out now. Manon Bannerman, who announced her decision to take a break from the group in February to focus on her health, explained to the mag prior to her departure that communication is critical in a band like KATSEYE. She gets candid about how six women are rarely always on the same page, so you need to ‘pick your battles’ and remember the group’s ‘shared goal.’

Why does it say weakest member Manon
People say this was literally a week before manon's hiatus
Manon, Swiss-Ghanaian Visual Queen 👑
Sophia, Filipina Leader Queen ⚓️
Daniela, Latina Dancing Queen 🛡
Lara, Indian Vocalist Queen 🔑
Megan, Chinese All-Rounder Queen 🍒
Yoonchae, Korean Maknae Queen 🐚
Hopefully she comes back soon ❤
The title is so weird dawg lmao .
Im sure Manon will do greater things.
Who is Ma-NOOOO?? TF!?
I love Manon ❤❤❤
Katseye ❤❤❤❤
Praying that our manon will still be part of the group and all, she deserves the whole world, along with the other girls too. Also, there is no weak member, in the group, they are all strong together and they will always have each other. We will keep fighting for manon, as long as shes doing good and happy as well. Nobody is gonna tale away her from us or even from her dreams too. Katseye is forever 6! 🗝👑🍒⚓🛡🐚
…fighting over who's gonna wear the outfit? Come tf on. Surely to God these "women," aren't just having squabbles about who is gonna wear the outfit everyone wants to wear, right? It makes me wonder who is the "Mean Girl," or "Bully," because.. As a woman who can't have woman friendships to save her life, there's always at least one.
whenever manon is in the thumbnail, ofc i wanna see
When Katseye tea is starting to feature on Entertainment Tonight – like who knew it was going to reach this level of PR 😮
“trusting the bigger picture” – Manon
OT6 Katseye, supporting all the girls and Your return
My theory is that HxG are bating us as a marketing stunt to gain clout, I think they are using Mona lisas painting to easter egg us that Manon is going to come back like the painting got stolen and returned.
I hope she comes back but since the show and their beginning I don't believe Sophia likes her.
If this was a office work setting and youre constantly calling out sick, HR marks all these points against you and then the company terminates you.
cringing every time the host mispronounces manon’s name
Was not by choice. You are supposed to be journalists. They are kicking her out, because they are racist and they have been picking on her since the start.
Manoooon is literly everywhere … this haitus was SO GOOOOD FOR HER CARREAR
shes coming back TODAYYYY
Manon
Hope, Manon doesn't become the new Jesy Nelson
shes gonna flop if solo
Manon was an instant star, she's that girl.
Gonna miss Manon 😢
Watch. We'll have a Manon comeback before Rami. 🤔
Here for MANON and MANON ONLY.
love them! miss manon tho:(
oscar if you’re reading this; i’m so sorry 😭
HYBE is executing a calculated, recurring strategy: leverage talent to scale, then deploy a PR-driven dismantling once that talent threatens the company’s absolute control. They prioritize institutional stability over individual contributors, ensuring the 'system' remains the primary power. By weaponizing selective media narratives, they successfully shift public discourse from corporate maneuvering to personal drama, allowing the brand to reclaim assets while neutralizing perceived threats.
I’ll support Katseye with or without manon, but those song choices have to change.
*MANOW*😭
Sophia sounded like she wanted to cry 🙁
And where did you find this? Plz tell me, if not it’s okay
Manon is gone, let her go where she's appreciated and it's not with this group, we have to accept it, i want her to do what shes passionate abou
