Katseye made their phenomenal Coachella debut earlier this month and their set included a live premiere of their new single “Pinky Up” and a cameo from Huntr/x but was marked by the absence of Manon Bannerman. The gropu performed as a five-piece as they delivered back-to-back hits, from “Mean Girls” and “Touch” to “Game Boy,” “Internet Girl,” and “Gabriela.” The performance continued with “My Way,” “M.I.A.,” and wrapped up with “Gnarly.”
In February, Hybe and Geffen Records announced that Manon Bannerman would be taking a hiatus from the global girl group. A few days before Coachella, Bannerman updated fans in a WeVerse message. “HxG and I are having positive conversations and I feel supported,” she wrote at the time. “I’m happy and I’m healthy. I’ll share more soon. Thank you for always being there for me.” On April 9, Hybe confirmed to the Korea Herald that Bannerman would not appear during the Coachella set.
