Because Manon has been on hiatus for nearly two months, many fans saw that report as a hopeful sign.

HYBE reportedly pulled back its earlier confirmation and said it would decline to comment on whether Manon will perform at Coachella. That sudden change confused KATSEYE fans (also known as EYEKONS) and brought back concerns that had already been growing for weeks. At the same time, Manon said she was having positive conversations with HYBE x Geffen, which made things even more confusing. In addition, the 23-year-old deleted KATSEYE from her Instagram profile, creating intrigue among fans.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" hcb-fetch-image-from=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/LIkFUjKtk_E?si=TSna03wifEN9TyYp\" title=\"KATSEYE (\ucea3\uce20\uc544\uc774) &quot;PINKY UP&quot; Official MV Teaser 1\" width=\"1240\" height=\"698\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LIkFUjKtk_E?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Manon\u2019s hiatus was first announced on February 20, 2026, and since then, rumors about her future with KATSEYE have continued to spread.
