She added that the group was happy to see Manon\u2019s presence in the project and believed fans would be excited.<\/p>\n The confirmation comes as KATSEYE prepares to release its new EP, \u201cWILD,\u201d while the documentary gives fans a behind-the-scenes look at the group as it prepares for major career milestones.<\/p>\n \u201cKATSEYE: WILD HEARTS\u201d is scheduled for a limited theatrical release on August 12.<\/p>\n Manon\u2019s absence from recent group activities had prompted questions from fans, particularly as the documentary\u2019s release approached. The group previously addressed her hiatus in an Allure cover story, explaining that her well-being remained the priority.<\/p>\n Sophia Laforteza said at the time that the members did not want to rush Manon or make assumptions about her return, emphasizing that the door remained open.<\/p>\n \u201cWe love her and the fans love her,\u201d Sophia said, while asking supporters to continue showing Manon patience, love and support.<\/p>\n The premiere itself was missing another KATSEYE member. Sophia was unable to attend because she was ill, according to Lara, who said Sophia was resting and recovering.<\/p>\n Sophia had also withdrawn from KATSEYE\u2019s scheduled appearance at the Hinterland Music Festival in Iowa, with the group announcing that she would not perform because of her illness.<\/p>\n Daniela Avanzini, Lara, Megan Skiendiel and Yoonchae performed as scheduled.<\/p>\n With Manon confirmed to appear in \u201cKATSEYE<\/a>: WILD HEARTS,\u201d fans will now get a chance to see the group\u2019s sixth member on screen even as questions remain about her future activities with KATSEYE.<\/p>\n News.Az<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\tBy Aysel Mammadzada<\/a>
