  1. I feel like this is the opposite of a clarification if anything. The original statement from the company sounded like pretty much your standard health/personal hiatus thing but this from her is all vaguepost-y.

  2. This just makes it sound like there’s a hidden meaning behind the whole thing, like it wasn’t her choice or something. Hm.

  3. So she’s healthy and there is some secret reason she’s stepping away from the group? Feel like she posted this because she read the company’s explanation and didn’t like it…

  4. kpop companies frequently use “health” as a reason a idol is taking leave, especially if the leave is related to something the company doesn’t want to publicly disclose.

    I’m healthy = I’m not dying. Ppl need to stop trying to make up random rumors to start non existent drama.

  6. So health is not the real reason she’s on hiatus. Makes me think they’re trying to avoid a scandal by taking her out of the group for the time being.

  7. I don’t see this as a sign there is no health or mental health issues. It feels like a general comment to try and comfort fans. Speculating rarely comes from kindness. 

  8. Love a vague post but that “sometimes things unfold in ways we don’t fully control” says more than her saying she’s healthy tbh.

  9. This sounds like possibly a family emergency. I don’t want to speculate anything, but if it’s not physical or mental health then that would be the next most common reason a company lets their idol go on hiatus.

  10. it’d be one thing if this was auto translated and sounded weird bc of that but… it’s not. it’s sooo vague it unfortunately can be interpreted poorly easily. it’s definitely weird but I also don’t want to be conspiratorial it just sounds a little off 😭

    She’s directly countering the official announcements’s reason for the hiatus. Don’t want to speculate too much but situation just got a little weirder

  12. seems like she’s disagreeing with the official announcement? something weird is going on…

    The people around her failed her by not discouraging her to post this. Statements like this are naive and reckless.

  14. WELL.

    that makes it sound like it wasnt a mutual decision. Are they slowly phasing her out…

    “Sometimes things unfold in ways we don’t fully control, but I’m trusting the bigger picture.” 

    Oh wow, so the hiatus is definitely *indefinite* 

  16. Okay, now I am concerned.Can some eyekon clarify like what is going on here ?

    What is not fully in her control if she is healthy ?

  17. Ngl, the wording of both statements – “open and thoughtful conversation” vs “things unfold in ways we can’t fully control” is highly suspect. Makes it sound like the hiatus wasn’t a mutual decision.

    It could be nothing but this message from Manon makes it sound like something 😬

  18. Nothing vague about this when you remember we’re not entitled to knowing someone’s specific health concerns. It also doesn’t dismiss the fact that it could be a physical / mental health hiatus.

    Nobody is ever planning on a work/life halting illness to strike (“things unfold in ways we don’t fully control”) , and depending on the nature of the illness, there may be a much more strenuous recovery process that you may not think is necessary outside of doctor’s orders (“I’m trusting the bigger picture”) .

    This post reads more like how most of us are (stubborn) in terms of following the doctor’s “dramatic” recommendations, but you know you have to because they’re right and risking a permanent or worse injury could be life altering / career ending.

    Someone said it might be because she broke contract by doing her short film? Idk it seems plausible especially because she’s being so vague

  20. My big take is ‘I do not envy Manon at all’ because I feel like everything she does is read into so much. I think we just have to accept that we really don’t know anything, and a lot can be projected onto both statements. Genuinely hope for the best for everyone involved, and I’m going to choose to not speculate on what may or may not be happening.

  21. So she messed up, Hybe tried to cover is as health related hiatus and her no-PR self went out and saying it’s not about health?

  22. The shit i have seen thrown at that girl since november. Its not shocking she’s taking a break. I hope they work it out but that group won’t survive if they cant find a way to deal with the online stuff.

  23. I feel like it’s obvious she’s stepping away for mental health reasons? are people purposely acting like they don’t understand?

  24. I’m a little puzzled by people’s reactions. Yes the statements are a little cryptic but that’s likely because the reason for the hiatus is personal and she doesn’t want it publicized. I understand being concerned but the conclusions that people are jumping to feel a bit hasty.

  25. Swiss person checking in here…
    The way this is worded is very Swiss. Obligatory ‚I could be wrong‘ but:

    I‘m healthy = I don’t have cancer / ‚es isch nüt Gröberes‘

    I‘m taking care of myself = I‘m taking a break ‚ich muess halt jetzt uf mich luege‘

    Sometimes (…) control = I didn’t plan for this to happen ‚Chame nüt mache/ s‘isch halt so wies isch‘

    Trusting the bigger picture = It‘ll be fine ‚s chunnt scho guet‘ ‚mängisch muses halt so cho‘

    More like a ‚It sucks, but I can’t change it and at least I‘m not dying or anything‘ than a ‚I got fired but we‘re trying to trick the shareholders‘ thing

    wie gseit, ich chönnt au komplett falsch ligge aber ich ha s‘ gfühl mir sind lüt wo immer münd go säge dasses eus ja doch guet gaht au wenns nöd so isch zum lüt beschwichtige und für mich lists sich genau so irgendwie

  26. Katseye is not built to last, the members have nothing in common and are not forced to bond like other kpop groups with constant scheduling and shared dorms.

  27. Seeing the title of the other post, I didn’t question it because she isn’t the first member who has had some health troubles as of late, right?

    But Manon’s post could be taken differently.

    Whatever it is, I hope she gets the time she needs.
