something is really wrong
like ok fork found in kitchen this is evidently a weird situation. i feel like with a scenario like this it should be obvious about what’s happening, even if it’s not stated, but it couldn’t be further from clear.
if this was PR, then i feel like it should’ve been over as soon pinky up came out. i didn’t expect her to be in the teasers (why is why i initially thought it was PR) but i definitely didn't expect her to be wiped from the song AND music video.
two theories come from that. 1) either she never shot the MV to begin with, or 2) HxG spent a fortune redoing the MV without Manon.
It’s likely to be the second, because Manon removed KATSEYE from her bio very soon after the first teaser was leaked, potentially as a reaction to being cut out, which would mean that she was initially in the MV. If that’s true, why would HxG spend that much money just to reshoot everything, if it’s just a hiatus?
On the other hand, the removal of Katseye from her bio could be her way of not involving herself in this era, and she was never in the MV to begin with. reasons unclear…
the lack of mentioning of manon is eerie too. i wouldn’t be surprised if that’s HxGs doing. it just feels SO spiteful though. if it’s just a hiatus, why can’t their members shout her out during a performance she is absent from? the zane interview was cryptic too. the reinforcing of sisterhood, saying she’s doing well, that they love her and she’s on hiatus..it’s all so VAGUE.
what really gets me the most though, is how manon was at Coachella, just not performing. she was THERE. she could’ve easily seen their performance in the crowd. it just feels unheard of. this was a milestone that she should’ve been a part of, especially since she was the most excited for it.
so many more things have been missed out here, like the ‘positive conversations’ message, the contradiction of HxGs and Manons statements. it’s so sad being left in uncertainty this way.
its like either manon did something, or HxG are evil. there is no in between in what i’m seeing from people and i don’t see one myself either.
i know i need to accept that she’s gone but i can’t and im being delusional until i get the HxG statement.
anyways i hope she and the girls are okay. she’s missed. and she genuinely looks younger in this picture. HxG when i catch you omg
