A new message for fans without Manon
KATSEYE posted a new video message for fans before their scheduled performances at Lollapalooza Latin America this March. In the clip, Yoonchae, Sophia, Daniela, Lara, and Megan greeted fans together and said they were excited to see Argentina at the festival, the first stop in their Lollapalooza run (they will also visit Brazil, Chile, and Colombia). The video was posted on the Lollapalooza Argentina Instagram page and also included footage of the group performing “Touch” during last summer’s Lollapalooza in Chicago. The video gave fans a clear look at the group’s current lineup as they prepared for their South American shows.

HYBE x Geffen Records announces Manon’s hiatus ahead of Lollapalooza Latin America
More news
The video came after HYBE x Geffen Records announced on February 20, 2026, that member Manon Bannerman would take a temporary hiatus. According to the statement agencies’ official statement, Manon stepped away from KATSEYE to focus on her health and wellbeing.
This time, the new video being shared with KATSEYE as a quintet makes fans understand it as a sign that Manon will not join the upcoming festival performances in Argentina, Chile, Brazil, and Colombia.
Will Manon get back to KATSEYE later this year?
Even so, some fans still expressed hope that Manon might return soon. In the comments, several people asked about her directly, while others posted photos and GIFs of the missing member. KATSEYE is also scheduled to appear at Coachella next month in Indio, California, on April 10 and 17, which has increased interest in whether Manon will rejoin the group by then. At the moment, HYBE x Geffen Records has not given a date for her return. The group continues promoting as five members while fans wait for more updates about Manon.
