The whole point of Katseye is diversity and representing different cultures. Why the hell are fans sooo racist? If the fanbase can't even handle a biracial girl. What makes you think they can handle a monoracial black girl??
So Manon isn't black enough for the group. But fans are quick to call her a slave.
Koreans are comparing Manon and Minji stating Ador hasn't released a contract termination for Minji as well, even though she's not participating in group activites with Njs. Njs are currently filming content for their YT channel. And Minji is spotted on vacation.
They speculate they're not announcing the termination because of stocks. And they're waiting for the next quarter of the year. Or the company hasn't made a decision yet and are negotiating with the girls.
I think Manon being invited to Paris Fashion Week and she didn't attend makes me believe the conflict is HxG declining solo deals for Manon and Manon got upset. Its clear HxG only allows brand deals that will accept all 6 members. Im sure Yoonchae is being offered Korean brand deals but HxG are declining them.
I've noticed there has been a shit ton of bot accounts farming for engagement and have been pushing anti content on twt/insta nd tiktok on Katseye. Like, since the hiatus announcement. There has been nothing but more hate videos, twt posts and Instagram comments trashing the girls and spreading rumors. Who's funding this? Its not normal at all.
Im seeing sooo many viral rumors spreading about Lara right now. And its all over Twitter and tikok. Her Instagram comments are filled with negativity.
Santos management seems more professional. They post all the members tiktoks, post covers of songs, collab with a variety of kpop idols for dance challenges, not just Hybe groups. And their team statements are very clear and straightforward. They don't leave their fans in the dark.
Katseye management seems incompetent. And with the cancelation of Music Bank. It confirms, they don't care about the fans. The statement was vague and korean/Chinese fans seem pissed. Imagine going to the show at 3am only for them not to show up. Not even a heads up to tell the fans you won't be there. Just straight up ghosted the fans. Just unprofessional
And they didnt even post the cheer guide or anything.
