For the past few days, KATSEYE have been teasing a new song called "Pinky Up" (along with an excessively detailed rollout plan), which had a bumpy start after fans complained about the seemingly AI-generated visuals. Then a 15-second teaser failed to include the member Manon, and fans also noticed that she took the girl group's name out of her Instagram bio. Now, the singer shared a statement.
Manon has been on hiatus since Feb. 20, with the label citing health and well-being. But on Weverse she wrote, "Thank you so much for all the love and support you've been sending my way. I'm really grateful for the patience and kindness everyone has shown during this time. [HYBE and Geffen] and I are having positive conversations and I feel supported. I'm happy and I'm healthy. I'll share more soon. Thank you for always being there for me."
