KATSEYE spoke about member Manon's hiatus during a recent Allure Magazine feature. The comments have prompted online discussion among fans.
In a video segment from the Allure interview, members Lara and Daniela responded to a question about a "ginger Victorian child" reference. Lara stated it meant kindness and good vibes rather than love, while Daniela added that it does not mean anything.
Sophia addressed the hiatus directly in the print interview. She said the group announced it concerns Manon's well-being and that it is not their place to rush her return, adding that the door remains open.
Fans have interpreted the remarks differently, with some viewing them as dismissive toward Manon and others seeing them as standard responses guided by the agencies HYBE and Geffen. The speculation continues as no further official statements have been issued.
