Amid recent KATSEYE‘s Manon hiatus controversy, the singer received support from SZA, Normani, Leigh-Anne Pinnock, and Chloe Bailey, uniting against the injustices of the industry.
After months of criticism and accusations of lack of dedication to the group, the idol announced her hiatus to focus on her health, but what generated more controversy was the like she gave to a post that suggested this pause was due to racism and mistreatment.
The Instagram post compared her situation with other women in the industry, including Normani from Fifth Harmony and Leigh-Anne Pinnock from Little Mix, assuring them they also went through racist treatment when they were part of their girl groups.
In response, these pop stars show support to Manon on their way; while Normani and Leigh-Anne follow her on Instagram, SZA shows her support by leaving a comment on her most recent post, “perfect girl,” and Chloe Bailey talked about her on Discord: “i’m sad about manon.”
On social media, fans are happy to see Manon having a support network during this difficult time: “black girls coming together against that racist korean company HYBE❤️,” “This is how black people should do in support of each other,” “Queens supporting queens Manon in that Brazil kit is fire 🇧🇷❤️,” “Black queen supporting their little sister 😝 period.”
