KATSEYE's Manon To Sit Out Summer Sonic Tokyo Due To Health

KATSEYE’s Manon will be sitting out the group’s performance at Summer Sonic Tokyo today. On August 17 KST, KATSEYE’s agency announced that Manon would not be able to perform at Summer Sonic Tokyo later that day due to her health. The previous day, the group cancelled their performance at Summer Sonic Osaka on August 16 “due to two members feeling unwell.” At the time, KATSEYE’s agency stated that both members in question had fully recovered and would be able to perform at Summer Sonic Tokyo the following day. However, the agency has now shared that because Manon’s “condition has declined upon landing in Tokyo,” “she has since made the decision after consulting her doctor to rest in order to recover as soon as possible.” The full announcement is as follows: This is your KATSEYE community manager. We are very sorry to share that Manon will not be able to perform at Summer Sonic Tokyo on Sunday, August 17, as her condition has declined upon landing in Tokyo. She has since made the decision after consulting her doctor to rest in order to recover as soon as possible. We know many EYEKONS were looking forward to seeing all KATSEYE members on stage at Summer Sonic Tokyo and we sincerely apologize for the unforeseen change. Your health and safety, as well as that of KATSEYE members, is always our top priority, and we appreciate your understanding. We wish Manon a speedy recovery. Thank you for your continued support for KATSEYE. Get well soon, Manon!
