KATSEYE member Manon is set to appear on Germany’s Next Top Model next week while remaining on hiatus from the global girl group.

Manon is expected to appear as a celebrity guest judge, a role frequently featured on the programme. Her episode is scheduled to air on May 15.
The appearance marks one of Manon’s first major public activities since stepping away from KATSEYE earlier this year. The singer has been on an indefinite hiatus from the group since February, although no official explanation has been publicly detailed.
Speculation surrounding her absence has continued among fans online, with discussions focusing on both the reasons behind the hiatus and the possibility of her eventual return to the group.
Neither KATSEYE’s management nor Manon has issued further statements regarding her status with the act.
KATSEYE was formed through the global HYBE and Geffen Records collaboration project The Debut: Dream Academy and quickly gained international attention following its launch. The group’s members have maintained an active schedule since debuting, with performances, promotional appearances and digital content releases contributing to their growing global profile.
Germany’s Next Top Model regularly features musicians, actors and fashion industry figures as guest judges throughout its season. Heidi Klum has hosted the reality competition since its launch and frequently collaborates with international celebrities during themed episodes.
Confirmation of Manon’s appearance has prompted renewed interest from fans, many of whom viewed the update as a sign that the singer remains active professionally despite her absence from group activities.
No further details about Manon’s future plans with KATSEYE have been confirmed.
