UPDATE: Fans of KATSEYE are in an uproar following the release of a fan quiz by HYBE and GEFFEN that controversially labeled member Manon as “lazy” and “selfish.” This incident has ignited a firestorm of criticism across social media, with fans demanding accountability from the label.
The quiz, released on December 20, 2025, included a question about Manon’s perceived best feature, offering options that included “her selfishness” and “her laziness.” Fans quickly shared photos of the quiz online, expressing their outrage over the hostile nature of these descriptors, which were exclusive to Manon’s quiz sheet.
“What does Manon think is her best feature?” read the question, a sentiment that many found deeply troubling. One fan tweeted, “hxg doesn’t even hide their disdain for her,” highlighting growing concerns over the treatment of the artist.
The backlash escalated, with many fans from the Eyekons (KATSEYE’s fanbase) pointing out that the other group members’ quizzes did not contain such negative language. The stark contrast fueled discussions about Manon’s treatment by her management team.
As the situation unfolded, fans voiced their frustration, stating, “It is so tiring and frustrating seeing how her own company continuously sets her up.” Many expressed empathy for Manon, noting her previous comments on the hurtful nature of being labeled as lazy.
Some fans attempted to rationalize the quiz options as reflective of Manon’s quirky humor. However, this reasoning was swiftly dismissed by others who insisted that Manon has previously expressed her dissatisfaction with such labels. The overwhelming sentiment among fans is a call for change, with some even suggesting that Manon should consider a solo career away from the label.
The viral spread of the quiz images has led to a significant online movement, with hashtags and discussions trending on platforms like Twitter. Fans have made it clear that they will not stand for what they perceive as mistreatment of their idol.
Despite the mounting criticism, HYBE has yet to issue a statement addressing the outrage. As the story develops, fans are eager for a response, hoping for a shift in the narrative surrounding Manon’s treatment.
As the KATSEYE community rallies together, the question remains: will HYBE acknowledge the backlash and respond accordingly, or will the controversy continue to escalate? Fans are keeping a close eye on developments, eager to see how this situation unfolds.
