KATSEYE fans are once again questioning Manon’s future with the group after a new merchandise detail appeared to show her being excluded from an official item.
Manon has been on hiatus from KATSEYE, and while fans continue to wait for an official update about her status, another unexpected detail has sparked fresh speculation online.
The controversy began after a fan purchased a KATSEYE lightstick and opened the package expecting to find the usual six photocards — one representing each member.

Instead, the fan reportedly discovered that Manon’s photocard was missing.
The discovery quickly spread across social media, with fans debating whether it was simply a manufacturing mistake or something much more significant.
Some fans pointed out that missing photocards can happen with merchandise and therefore shouldn’t automatically be interpreted as evidence that a member has left a group.
Others, however, immediately saw the incident as another potential indication that Manon’s position within KATSEYE may have changed.
A POLISH STORE ADDS EVEN MORE QUESTIONS
The situation became even more intriguing when fans discovered that a retailer in Poland appeared to list the KATSEYE lightstick as containing only five photocards.
More notably, the product description reportedly specifically stated that Manon was not included “according to the company’s decision.”
That wording immediately caught fans’ attention.

Rather than simply appearing to be a random missing item, the description seemed to suggest that the omission was intentional.
For fans already worried about Manon’s hiatus, the discovery naturally raised even more questions about what is happening behind the scenes.
However, there is still an important distinction to make.
The merchandise listing does not officially confirm that Manon has left KATSEYE.
At this point, the information circulating online consists of a fan’s unboxing experience and a retailer’s description of a five-photocard version of the lightstick. Neither one, by itself, establishes that Manon has been removed from the group permanently.
FANS WANT AN OFFICIAL STATEMENT
The biggest frustration among fans appears to be the lack of clear communication.
Rather than learning about Manon’s status directly from the company, fans are piecing together clues from merchandise, social media posts and changes surrounding the group.
That has created an atmosphere of uncertainty, with some fans demanding that the company simply address the situation.
“Just make a statement,” has become one of the sentiments circulating among frustrated fans.
For now, Manon’s future with KATSEYE remains officially unclear based on the information in the report.
The missing photocard has undoubtedly fueled speculation, but it should not be treated as definitive proof of a departure.
Still, the timing has made the discovery particularly explosive.
With Manon already on hiatus, the appearance of an official-looking KATSEYE product containing only five member photocards has given fans another reason to question whether a major announcement could be coming.
Until the company makes an official statement, Manon’s status remains uncertain — but the latest merchandise controversy has made it increasingly difficult for KATSEYE fans to ignore the possibility that something significant may be happening behind the scenes.
