The group – which currently consists of Sophia Laforteza, Yoonchae Jung, Daniela Avanzini, Lara Raj, and Megan Skiendiel – said that they have been talking to Manon “here and there” since the hiatus. </p><p>“The safest space that we had was within the six of us,” Lara said, denying rumors that bad blood exists between the members. “People just have no idea what goes on. They just don’t. It’s nothing but love between us.” </p><p> On why Manon is on hiatus, Sophia mentioned that “we can definitely say that in our situation, in no way was it about race.” She then added, “That goes against everything that we stand for.” Manon had previously engaged with social media posts about being the only black woman in the group, sparking discussions on possible mistreatment.</p><p> As for what the group has to say about her surprise appearances, Sophia said “I’m really happy that she’s able to enjoy things like that.” Lara added, “And have fun”</p><div> </div><div><iframe allowfullscreen="" src="https://iframely.net/1Tw9YUOT?theme=light&amp;v=1&amp;app=1" style="box-shadow:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.06) 0px 1px 3px"></iframe><br/></div><script async="" src="https://iframely.net/embed.js"></script><div> </div><p>KATSEYE is set to release their third EP, <em>WILD</em> on August 14.
