“Treatment is questionable…”
Koreaboo
When KATSEYE‘s Manon went on hiatus, her social media post seemingly suggested that she had been subjected to poor treatment due to her race.

The discourse on HYBE and racism has resurfaced due to the company’s recent actions regarding SANTOS BRAVOS member Kauê.
Recently, an animation for the group’s anniversary was shared, but they noticed that the archetype representing Kauê was missing.
The animation at the beginning of the SANTOS BRAVOS 1° ANIVERSANTO Showcase Livestream appears to be missing Kauê’s archetype.

Netizens immediately accused HYBE of racism, linking this action to the treatment of Manon and excluding members based on race.
The company basically telling the fandom that leaving the black member out is okay. Where have we seen this before lol

Manon was the litmus test, once they saw how their fandoms defended the company’s anti blackness and gaslight black people successfully, it will now stretch it hands and touch other people. You give someone an inch, they make it A MILE.

En su historia como empresa Hybe a recibido múltiples acusaciones de racismo, como el caso más famoso de Manon de katseye
Pareciera que un patrón similar está pasando con Kaue de Santos Bravos y por eso es necesario difundir y hablar de esto: pic.twitter.com/p6eMdNp8A8
