Pop band Katseye has landed in the crosshairs of the internet after one of its members, Manon Bannerman, announced a break from group activities, prompting backlash over what many described as mistreatment and racial discrimination. ADVERTISEMENT“After open and thoughtful conversations together, we are sharing that Manon will be taking a temporary hiatus from group activities to focus on her health and well-being. An X user wrote, “Katseye has six members, and all of them are under a freaking contract. Though not essentially a Korean band, Katseye is inspired by K-pop training systems but with a diverse, multicultural lineup. The members of the band are: Daniela Avanzini, Lara Raj, Manon Bannerman, Megan Skiendiel, Sophia Laforteza, and Yoonchae Jeung.
