Fans are excited because KATSEYE’s Manon was finally spotted in public again. On June 27, footage shared by Vendetta Dailly showed Manon leaving the Vetements party in Paris. This was her first major public appearance in months, and because it happened on her 24th birthday, fans were even more excited.

Manon has been on hiatus since February, with HYBE previously saying she stepped back from group activities to focus on her health and well-being. Mid-June reports also said there was still no timeline for her return, even though KATSEYE continued promoting as five.
The video from Paris went viral quickly. While some fans were just happy to see her out, others had much stronger reactions. Since Manon is still absent from idol schedules, the footage sparked fresh backlash over her appearing at a high-fashion event while remaining away from performances and music activities.
Some social media users have mocked footage of Manon leaving the Vetements party, claiming the security presence was unnecessary since there was no crowd of fans waiting for her outside. Critics are using these clips to suggest she is acting like a massive superstar despite the lack of a crowd, sparking a lot of debate about her fame.
