Global girl group KATSEYE member Manon will temporarily suspend her activities, according to an announcement released today (February 21).
On the same day, KATSEYE’s agency, HYBE-Geffen Records, shared an official statement explaining the decision. The company stated, “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 continued, “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.”
KATSEYE is a global girl group launched through a collaboration between HYBE and Geffen Records under Universal Music Group. The group was formed in 2023 through the audition program The Debut: Dream Academy, which selected six final members from participants around the world.
The lineup consists of Sophia, Manon, Daniela, Lara, Megan, and Yoonchae. Each member represents diverse nationalities and cultural backgrounds, including the Philippines, Switzerland, the United States, and South Korea, reflecting the group’s global identity.
KATSEYE officially debuted on June 28, 2024, with their debut single Debut and has been actively promoting primarily in the United States.
