KATSEYE's Manon Sends Greeting to Fans
The KATSEYE member returned to Weverse direct messages with a short note while on hiatus from group activities since February 2026.
Updated on Nov. 7, 2026 in Fashion
KATSEYE member Manon returned to Weverse direct messages with a short "hi friends" greeting on November 7. It is her first known Weverse DM activity since April 2026, and she has been on a temporary hiatus from the group since February 2026.
Why it matters
The message offers a limited signal about Manon's status during an extended break that HYBE and Geffen Records said was taken to focus on her health and well-being. The group's concerts on THE WILDWORLD TOUR have also been postponed following health concerns involving member Megan Skiendiel.
Manon's hiatus from KATSEYE began in February 2026, and her previous Weverse DM activity occurred in April 2026. HYBE has said there are no new updates on her status, and no timeline for her return has been provided.

Culture Shift
Member communication through Weverse direct messages has become a primary channel between K-pop artists and fans, as seen in Manon's first DM since April 2026. Such messages during extended breaks show how fandom engagement continues on platforms operated by HYBE even when groups are inactive.
Fans following KATSEYE can expect updates on Manon's status through official channels, which currently show no new timeline. Daily fan engagement with the group is continuing through Weverse and social media while the hiatus remains in effect.
The takeaway
Short personal messages during an official hiatus can offer fans small glimpses of an artist's well-being without signaling a schedule change. Following official HYBE and Geffen Records announcements remains the most reliable way to track return plans.
