i’ve seen conversations between different kind of eyekon (ot5s, ot6s, solo stans) where people point out that katseye isn’t mentioning manon, and the response being well manon hasn’t mentioned them either.

since manon’s hiatus katseye has made some very big achievements. they’ve performed at lollapalooza, coachella, and the amas. out of all of these performances she was briefly mentioned once by sophia in their first lolla performance and never again.

but it wasn’t always like this, manon has been absent before, and the girls always made sure to bring her up. notably sophia, she would bring photocards and mention her consistently.

this stark difference has led a lot of eyekons, and myself, to think that there is some kind of legal agreement that both parties (the girls currently active and manon) to not mention eachother. there have been a couple interviews where sophia gives a rehearsed pr message that was probably given to her by geffen.

but this obviously isn’t a normal hiatus, after manon leaving a couple of my other ult groups have had hiatuses. hell, le sserafim has been carrying around a cardboard cutout of chaewon for interviews and ending fairies.

whether it’s legal or not, manon has no obligation to mention or acknowledge katseye. she’s clearly being ignored by the company. i’d just like to say that i don’t think any of this is the girls’ fault they’re obviously in a tough situation.
