Will KATSEYE ever be a six-person group again? That’s what fans are desperately trying to find out ever since it was announced that group member Manon she would be taking a hiatus to “focus on her mental health and wellbeing.”
Manon’s (as of now) temporary departure from KATSEYE has led to an outpouring of support from fans and celebrities online, as well as more questions about the Grammy-nominated group’s future. Manon’s hiatus has also led to surge in new interest for KATSEYE collectibles online, as fans buy up merch that includes all six members together — possibly for the last time.
Amazon’s No. 1 bestselling product in its “entertainment collectibles” category right now is this $10 set of KATSEYE photocards, which features 92 full-color images of the girls printed on durable cardstock and presented in a gift box. Amazon says it has sold hundreds of these KATSEYE photocard sets in the last week alone.

The set contains both individual photos as well as group photos. You can also find a set with a mix of photocards and stickers here.
This is fan-made merch, of course, and not an official KATSEYE or HYBE release, but it’s clear EYEKONS are jumping at the chance to snag a collectible that includes all six of the members. While Manon and KATSEYE have not commented on her future with the group, many are speculating that she may not return. If that’s the case, this could be one of the last merch releases that has all six members together.

As for the music? It’s not clear what Manon’s plans are beyond taking time off for herself, but if she is indeed moving on from KATSEYE, at least the singer has two well-received albums to be proud of. SIS and Beautiful Chaos are sure to become collector’s’ editions if Manon takes an extended — or permanent — hiatus, though fans are no doubt hoping the singer and dancer will return to the group soon.
