The singer, however, failed to address the missing ‘KATSEYE’ from her social media page. A few days ago, fans noticed that something was wrong with her account and were quick to point out that she no longer had the group’s name in her bio. Manon has had the word in her social media bio for ages now, and the sudden change has left fans in a frenzy over what truly happened. Not only this, but the group has also performed on a lot of events and concerts without Manon as of late, which have all added fuel to the fire. Last month, their management company officially announced that Manon would be going on an indefinite hiatus in order to recover and manage her health better.
