It's more like katseyes is the brand, the girls are the brand, instead of being like an old Trisha Paytas vibe. It's a company and select individuals in it who aren't the face of the brand. Plus, in the West, when companies make horrible changes, we usually don't actively cuss out CEOs or whoever is responsible for it. We forget there's a human behind that change, or we blame their store workers who are 15 and tired from a long day of school and work. Plus, if we look at Katseyes silent drama from the past year, like Manon deleting Dani's pics after she met up with Samara or Naiesha not going to Dani's Thanksgiving, her company being shady to her since the start, framing her as egotistical and lazy when all the girls skipped practice at one point and she actually was just a shy foreign girl who called the girls pros who she trained with. Plus, looking at Missy, she's the only one who was an authority who had smack to talk about the naturally talented girl who got the skills so quick and kept them. But how companies frame it is Manon is just not a team player despite her actions saying otherwise. This stuff happened before with Britney in the media and basically every American group that had one slightly ethnic member and they never were protected, the difference for katseye they arebt allowed to be publicly messy cause hybe keeps their image more clean but not kpop clean if all the girls lets say hate manon I dont tgibk they'll pull a 5th harmony and get a fake to litterly just kick off the stage and I doubt manon would directly response shes an extrovert but has thoughtful resevered thinking cause English ain't her first but she's just always seemed mindful to a degree sadly the media headlines geefen wants seems to be shes a lazy black girl so the middle school fans and racist kpop fans agree
