KATSEYE To Perform In Coachella WITHOUT Manon<\/p>\n
Manon<\/a> will not be present alongside KATSEYE<\/a> during their eagerly awaited Coachella<\/a> show! As the international girl group prepares for a significant event, concerns regarding Manon<\/a>‘s extended break, online presence, and absence from promotional activities have left fans speculating whether this is more than just a short-term pause from the group. While the agencies remain tight-lipped about departure rumors, two facts are clear – Manon will not attend Coachella and she will not feature in their new song Pinky Up<\/a>.<\/p>\n Manon to skip Coachella due to ‘hiatus’<\/p>\n Manon Bannerman will not perform with KATSEYE<\/p>\n KATSEYE is poised to perform at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, marking a pivotal moment for the international girl group that was formed in 2024 through a partnership between HYBE and Geffen Records. However, one prominent member will be absent from the event. Manon, the Swiss member of the group, will not be part of the performance as she continues her break.<\/p>\n The announcement was made just before the festival, with HYBE informing The Korea Herald<\/a> that Manon \u201cis still on hiatus\u201d and will not engage in current activities. She has been out of the public eye since February, when both HYBE and Geffen Records revealed that she would take a step back to prioritize her health and wellness. At that time, no specific date for her return was mentioned, leaving fans in a state of uncertainty.<\/p>\n As KATSEYE\u2019s debut at Coachella draws near, the ambiguity surrounding Manon\u2019s situation has led fans to speculate that this could signify the end of her journey with the group. Speculation intensified earlier this month when fans observed that she had removed the group\u2019s name from her social media accounts. This action quickly ignited rumors that she might be getting ready to exit the group entirely. Despite the rising curiosity, HYBE has opted not to address these rumors, consistently reiterating that her hiatus is still in effect.<\/p>\n Manon is not included in KATSEYE’s new single Pinky Up<\/p>\n KATSEYE’s Single Pinky Up To Be Out Without Manon<\/p>\n Further fueling the speculation is Manon\u2019s absence from the promotional activities for KATSEYE\u2019s forthcoming single, Pinky Up. The concept images and teasers released prior to the song\u2019s debut do not include her at all. While it is not unusual for artists on hiatus to miss promotional events, the combination of her extended absence, changes on social media, and the agency’s silence has fostered a sense of uncertainty.<\/p>\n Despite the circumstances, KATSEYE is continuing with its planned activities. The group is anticipated to perform Pinky Up live during their Coachella set, presenting the track to a worldwide audience. This performance is viewed as a vital step in solidifying their international presence, particularly given the group\u2019s distinctive role in the music industry as a bridge between K-pop and Western markets. Indian origin Lara Raj<\/a> is also a member of KATSEYE.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"KATSEYE To Perform In Coachella WITHOUT Manon Manon will not be present alongside KATSEYE during their eagerly awaited…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":371484,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[25766,194215,156,65110,194217,194214,3852,194213,194216,160348,157,111,139,69,194212,24764],"class_list":{"0":"post-371483","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-music","8":"tag-coachella","9":"tag-coachella-valley-music-and-arts-festival","10":"tag-entertainment","11":"tag-hybe","12":"tag-katseye-manon","13":"tag-korea-herald","14":"tag-korean-news","15":"tag-lara-raj","16":"tag-mamon-hiatus","17":"tag-manon","18":"tag-music","19":"tag-new-zealand","20":"tag-newzealand","21":"tag-nz","22":"tag-pinky-up","23":"tag-zoom-tv"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/371483","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=371483"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/371483\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/371484"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=371483"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=371483"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=371483"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Manon](\"https:\/\/images.zoomnews.com\/thumb\/resizemode-4,msid-83109085,width-360\/83109085.jpg\" "\\"\\"\/")
