Honestly, I think she requested a hiatus due to her being sick a lot and just wanting to take time off from being on a busy schedule, they finished off tour, released a single, performed at the Grammys, and went on the Jimmy Fallon show around the same time. Part of me thinks the she wanted to take some time off (a temporary hiatus is what they’ve been calling it.) to decide whether she wanted to depart from KATSEYE Or just take a hiatus.. and that she requested it to be private so that she wouldn’t have the world in her business. which is why the company decided to release an album, schedule a tour, and have a whole new era without her so incase she does decide to leave, they already have their debut as 5. Which is also why it’s not a normal hiatus and we automatically see it as a “abnormal” hiatus. Lately, everytime the girls are questioned about manons hiatus, the girls (but mostly Lara) say “it’s not our place to say” which basically means either they are waiting for manon to say she wants to stay in the group, or the girls are waiting for HXG to release the statement on whether she has decided to stay or not. Which also causes some conflict with Manon and HxG. Making leader Sophia as their scapegoat and make up narratives about Manons hiatus. However, the way they are going about it gives fans the indication that it is “racism” going on but that’s just what I’ve seen.

Whether Manon decides to take a temporary hiatus, or Depart from the group, I 100% see where she’s coming from, even in KATSEYES new documentary, main dancer Daniela has expressed that she’s definitely thought about quitting due to the workload and busy schedule, and All rounder Megan has stated that her mental health has been heavily affected as KATSEYE becomes more noticed and popular over the recent years.. KATSEYE wasn’t meant to last. Honestly, in the pop star academy documentary, they said that the girl group was an experiment to see if kpop training and development would work in the Western Pop music industry.
