On January 10, Manon attended a star-studded fundraising concert organized to support humanitarian efforts in Palestine and Sudan. The event, hosted by prominent celebrities Bella Hadid and Pedro Pascal, brought together international artists like Shawn Mendes, Clairo, Daniel Caesar, and Jazmine Sullivan, and successfully raised $5.4 million for the Palestinian Children’s Relief Fund and the Sudanese American Physicians Association.
While fans were already impressed by Manon’s quiet presence in the audience confirmed through a photo she posted to her Instagram Story the real stir began when a video clip surfaced showing her chanting ‘Free Palestine’ as she left the venue. The video quickly spread across X (formerly Twitter), racking up millions of views and sparking intense discussion.
Many praised Manon for her courage in voicing clear support for a cause that remains highly politicized, especially within the K-pop and entertainment industry. Admirers highlighted her willingness to speak out despite potential repercussions, especially as an artist under HYBE, a company that has often been scrutinized for its affiliations and silence on global issues.
However, some fans also expressed concern about possible consequences for Manon’s career, fearing backlash or industry pressure. Still, others hoped her stance might inspire her fellow KATSEYE members to follow suit.
