Members of the global group Katseye recently addressed speculation surrounding the temporary absence of one of their members, Manon Bannerman. In a recent interview with Vanity Fair, the group refuted circulating rumors suggesting that Bannerman’s hiatus was related to her skin color. The singer, who is of Swiss-Ghanaian descent, stated definitively that the situation was “not about race at all,” asserting that the speculation contradicted the principles the group upholds.
When the news first broke regarding the 24-year-old’s temporary break, the music labels responsible for the group, Hybe x Geffen, did not disclose a specific reason for her withdrawal. Instead, the official statement indicated that Bannerman would be stepping away from “group activities to focus on her health and well-being.” Following this, Bannerman herself echoed this sentiment, confirming that her break was dedicated to prioritizing her health and general well-being. The group members emphasized that their focus remains on the welfare of their colleague.
The discussions among the members aimed to clarify the circumstances surrounding her absence, making it clear that the reasons for the pause are entirely personal and health-related, rather than stemming from any external prejudice or bias. This statement serves to quell persistent rumors about the nature of her leave.
