The brief exchange came as Daniela attended the Louis Vuitton show in Paris alongside Yoonchae. Manon has been on an extended wellness hiatus since February 2026, with the group previously describing her absence in the context of her health and well-being.
The last major update from a KATSEYE member came in August, when Lara addressed fans during the group’s appearance on NBC’s TODAY. Speaking before KATSEYE performed at Rockefeller Plaza as part of the Citi Concert Series, Lara reaffirmed the group’s support for both Manon and Sophia.
“We stand by Sophia and Manon, through and through. And we ride for that,” Lara told the crowd. She had also spoken about their hiatuses during KATSEYE’s appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, thanking fans for supporting both members and saying the group had “nothing but so much love and support” for them.
KATSEYE has continued promoting as a four-member lineup featuring Daniela, Lara, Megan and Yoonchae. The quartet recently appeared on the September 26 season premiere of Saturday Night Live, performing “Animal” and “Hottie Frutti” while Manon and Sophia remained away from current group activities.
“Animal” has become one of Wild’s standout tracks, recently reaching No. 24 on the Billboard Hot 100. The group’s third EP also delivered a major commercial milestone, debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with 170,000 equivalent album units, making Wild KATSEYE’s first chart-topping project.
