Collaboration on the way? Manon was spotted with two of pop’s biggest names, Charli XCX and BLACKPINK’s ROSÉ, and the fandom is already talking.
According to photos and posts circulating on social media, Manon, Charli XCX, Odessa A’zion and BLACKPINK’s ROSÉ were seen together at an exclusive afterparty following the 6th Annual Academy Museum Gala. Manon also shared on her Instagram Story that she attended Charli XCX’s show at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles, where Chappell Roan and PinkPantheress were reportedly among the special guests.

The timing is what has fans curious. KATSEYE announced in February that Manon would take a temporary hiatus from group activities to focus on her health and wellbeing. In April, HYBE confirmed to The Korea Herald that “Manon remains on hiatus.” Her future with the group has stayed unclear, and she has told fans she is having “positive conversations” with her label.
Meanwhile, Charli XCX is one of the biggest names in pop right now, and ROSÉ is in the middle of her own solo run. Some fans are asking whether Manon is preparing a solo career or a collaboration.
There is already a link between Charli XCX and KATSEYE. Charli co-wrote the group’s single “Gabriela,” and Manon told PEOPLE the group would love to work with her again. Charli is also known for her collaborations, from the brat remixes onward.
Fans have noticed the pattern in other groups. When Camila Cabello left Fifth Harmony, she was often linked with Taylor Swift, who was a visible supporter. For now, nothing about Manon’s next step has been confirmed. None of the other five KATSEYE members has commented officially on her hiatus.
