Manon Bannerman, the sole Black member of Katseye, has been on a temporary hiatus from group activities to focus on her health and wellbeing. Despite speculation that she may not return, she reportedly sent a message to fans thanking them for their support. The companies Hybe and Geffen Records have publicly supported the decision. As the group prepares for their Coachella debut in April, no other members have commented on Bannerman's hiatus.
