there is no statement
everyone is torn about whether manon will return or when will hybe announce her departure. but it’s likely there is no statement and neither of those two options will happen. kayesye’s brand is currently transitioning to five. manon is also starting to transition as well to independent campaigns and removing katseye from bio is a huge indicator that they don’t want to associate her with group anymore. lastly manon is an asset to hybe and her brand is there IP (intellectual property) and because they are a publicly traded company manon’s contract being terminated will directly affect their stock price and can be a loss to the investors. it’s likely manon will remain on indefinite hiatus while transitioning to model, influencer, or even solo artist while under the management of hybe. despite researching all this i still hope to have manon back in katseye because i want all 6 girls together… but with every passing day it’s becoming less and less likely because she’ll be seen as dead weight or a liability to investors
