Megan Skiendiel of KATSEYE reappeared on stage during a recent concert, seated and wearing sunglasses, just days after the group postponed several shows due to her concussion. Videos shared on social media showed her present on stage while Lara Raj, Daniela Avanzini, and Yoonchae Jeung danced beside her.

The appearance sparked mixed reactions among fans, as Skiendiel had previously shared that medical professionals advised her to rest. In an Instagram story, the 20-year-old wrote: 

“I currently have a concussion and I’m doing everything I can to recover so I can be back on stage for you.”

She added that she had wanted the shows to go ahead, but doctors strongly recommended she take the time off to recover safely.

KATSEYE postponed three dates of their Wildworld Tour because of the injury. The first cancellation was on November 3 in Detroit (Little Caesars Arena), followed by shows in Chicago and Minneapolis. The group and their label, Hybe x Geffen, confirmed the postponements and asked fans to hold onto their tickets while new dates are arranged.

Skiendiel is not the only member who has faced health-related absences this year. Manon Bannerman took a temporary break earlier in the year, and Sophia Laforteza stepped away in August, with a planned return in January 2027.

What a concussion means for a performer

A concussion is a mild traumatic brain injury typically caused by a blow or jolt to the head. According to MedlinePlus (U.S. National Library of Medicine), common symptoms include headache, dizziness, sensitivity to light and noise, fatigue, and trouble concentrating.

Doctors usually recommend physical and cognitive rest. Activities that raise the heart rate or involve sudden movements—such as jumping, dancing, or full choreography—are often restricted because they can worsen symptoms or slow recovery. Staying seated and wearing sunglasses (to reduce light sensitivity) are common ways people manage symptoms in the early stages.
