KATSEYE “Holding Back Tears” In New Clip Linked To Manon

KATSEYE recently took the stage at Coachella without Manon, who is still on the much-talked-about hiatus. The group has also been carrying out promotions as five, and her absence naturally hasn’t gone unnoticed.

A new interview clip featuring Lara, Sophia, Megan, Yoonchae, and Daniela has quickly drawn attention.

During the interview, Lara spoke about how performing at Coachella had always been their biggest dream. She expressed gratitude for finally being able to stand on that stage. But instead of excitement, the atmosphere felt heavy, which quickly became the focus.

The five members looked noticeably emotional as she spoke. Their expressions and body language stood out to fans, who immediately linked their behavior to Manon.

the way Daniela and Megan start fidgeting with their fingers, Megan’s face dropping and her having glossy eyes, Yoonchae not even trying to smile, Lara’s voice sounding ANYTHING but excited and Sophia who is obviously trying hard to smile and be composed. FREE THESE GIRLS.

The star was unable to perform with them on the big stage and missed out on the dream all six of them shared.

Meanwhile, Manon has been spotted in the crowd at Coachella, fuelling speculations that her hiatus is not health-related at all and that HYBE x GEFFEN are hiding the real reason from the public.
