KATSEYE has announced that Manon is set to go on a ‘temporary hiatus’ from all the group’s forthcoming activities.
The announcement was shared by HYBE and Geffen Records on the group’s official WeVerse community through a notice that cited Manon’s reasoning “to focus on her health and wellbeing.” “After open and thoughtful conversations together, we are sharing that Manon will be taking a temporary hiatus from group activities to focus on her health and wellbeing. We fully support this decision,” they posted.
“KATSEYE remains committed to showing up for one another and for the fans who mean everything to us. The group will continue scheduled activities during this time, and we look forward to being together again when the time is right. Thank you to our EYEKONS for your continued love, patience, and understanding,” read the latter part of their statement.
Following their post, Manon also took to share a message to their fanbase of EYEKONs on her WeVerse DM channel, wherein she confirmed her hiatus but reassured her fans that she was healthy. “Hi friends, I want you to hear this from me: I’m healthy, I’m okay, and I’m taking care of myself. Thank u for checking in! Sometimes things unfold in ways we don’t fully control, but I’m trusting the bigger picture,” she shared. “Thank you for standing by me. I love you endlessly and can’t wait to see you again,” she continued.
Most recently, KATSEYE performed at the 2026 Grammy Awards, wherein they joined their fellow Best New Artist nominees (such as Olivia Dean, Addison Rae, sombr, Alex Warren, and Lola Young) to perform on stage, wowing audiences with their performance of their chart-topping hit single, “Gnarly.” At the awards show, they were also nominated for the category of Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for their other hit track, “Gabriela.”
Despite Manon’s absence from the group’s upcoming activities, the rest of KATSEYE is set to take the stage at Lollapalooza Argentina, Lollapalooza Chile, and Lollapalooza Brazil in March, as well as the highly anticipated Coachella Arts & Music Festival, which will take place over two weekends in April 2026.
Most recently, Manon released a short film titled ‘NOT BAD,’ which was made in collaboration with her friends Sophie HM and Violet Smith. Check it out in its entirety here. Currently, no timeline or further announcements have been shared with regard to Manon’s return to KATSEYE.
