Fans notice Megan briefly unfollows Daniela on Instagram
KATSEYE fans reacted quickly on Tuesday, March 4, 2026, after noticing that member Megan had unfollowed fellow member Daniela on Instagram. The social media interaction was discovered by attentive fans and quickly spread across platforms such as X, TikTok, and Reddit. In a few hours, screenshots started circulating online, and discussions began about what the move meant.
Not long after fans began discussing the change, Megan followed Daniela again, restoring the connection between the two Instagram profiles. Even though the situation was resolved quickly, the brief unfollow still raised questions among fans. However, it was later clarified that Megan was having an unfollowing spree and accidentally deleted Daniela.
Ongoing questions about Manon’s hiatus
The reaction to the Instagram incident follows the larger controversy surrounding member Manon. On February 20, 2026, HYBE and Geffen announced that Manon would take a temporary hiatus for health reasons. Shortly after the announcement, Manon wrote to fans on Weverse and stated that she was healthy and doing well, contradicting the company’s initial statement.
The controversy escalated when online comments believed to belong to Daniela’s father were discovered under a video discussing Manon’s departure. In those comments, he wrote that the group would continue and that five members could still work well. Even though the remarks were later deleted, screenshots kept circulating on social media. However, Daniela herself did not make any public statements about the situation.
Speculation about KATSEYE’s future grows as the group continues promoting
During this controversial time, fans also noticed that Manon had liked several Instagram posts discussing racism and the treatment of Black women in girl groups. Manon, who has Ghanaian background, has previously addressed the criticism she received during her trainee years and stated that being labeled lazy as a Black woman is unfair. In addition, other black female celebrities such as SZA and Kehlani have publicly supported Manon amid tensions with her label.
As the controversy continues, KATSEYE has moved forward with promotions as a five-member group. The girl group has scheduled appearances at Lollapalooza Latin America and will perform at Coachella in April 2026. However, many fans say they are waiting for clear communication from the company before fully supporting future activities.
