UPDATE: KATSEYE fans are outraged after HYBE labeled member Manon “lazy” and “selfish” in a recently released fan quiz. The controversy erupted on December 20, 2025, when fans discovered the derogatory terms listed as options in an official quiz from HYBE X GEFFEN.
The quiz, intended to engage fans, asked, “What does Manon think is her best feature?” Shockingly, the choices included “her selfishness” and “her laziness.” Fans immediately took to social media, expressing their disbelief over the treatment of the idol. One user shared their frustration, stating, “In what world does a ‘best feature’ question include ‘her selfishness’ or ‘her laziness’?”
The backlash from the KATSEYE fanbase, known as Eyekons, has been intense. Many fans highlighted that no other group members faced similar derogatory descriptors in their quizzes, amplifying the perception of bias against Manon. “The company doesn’t even hide their disdain for her,” a fan tweeted, further fueling the discussion.
As outrage spread, discussions turned heated, with fans demanding clarity on the quiz’s wording. Some speculated that perhaps it reflected Manon’s quirky humor, but many quickly countered that she has openly expressed her disdain for such labels. “Manon hates being called lazy and having her hard work overlooked,” one fan argued.
The emotional toll on Manon is evident, as fans recalled her previous statements about feeling hurt by the perception that she doesn’t work hard. “It is so tiring and frustrating seeing how her own company sets her up,” another supporter lamented.
Despite the growing backlash, HYBE has yet to issue a response to the criticism. The situation continues to evolve, with some fans even suggesting that Manon should consider a solo career due to the ongoing concerns about her treatment.
As the controversy unfolds, KATSEYE fans remain vigilant, urging for a resolution that acknowledges Manon’s contributions and protects her from further mistreatment. The conversation surrounding her treatment is gaining momentum, with calls for transparency and respect within the industry.
