Hybe Geffen Katseye Megan: 3 Postponed Shows and Few Answers

Hybe x Geffen had not publicly addressed KATSEYE member Megan Skiendiel's concussion as of November 12, according to NBC News. Megan has kept performing on the WildWorld Tour with changes, while Manon Bannerman remains on hiatus. Here's what the label has said, what fans and artists are asking, and what's next on the tour.

What Hybe x Geffen Has Publicly Said

As of NBC News' Nov. 12 report, Hybe x Geffen and KATSEYE had not publicly addressed the concerns about Megan's concussion. A rep did not immediately respond to a request for comment. This post only covers what was known then, so check official KATSEYE channels for updates.

The group did say something earlier. Before its Nov. 4 Detroit show, KATSEYE postponed the date, saying Megan was unwell and unable to perform.

The Chicago and Minneapolis shows were later postponed too, to give Megan time to recover. Megan has not said what caused the concussion.

Hybe x Geffen is the partnership of Geffen Records and Hybe that formed KATSEYE. The group came together on the Netflix series Dream Academy: The Debut.

Why Fans Are Asking the Label Questions

Fans saw a member perform seated and in sunglasses days after a postponed show. Many wanted the label to say more.

They used hashtags like #PrioritizeMegan and #HxGProtectKatseye. Some also accused management of treating the group abusively.

Diet Prada and Kesha React

Two outside voices added to the conversation. Fashion watchdog account Diet Prada asked, "Is KATSEYE okay??"

Singer Kesha wrote, "This doesn't feel right to me." Both posts were reported by NBC News.

Manon Bannerman's Hiatus Since February

Megan isn't the only member out of the usual lineup. Manon Bannerman has been on a temporary hiatus since February.

No clear return date has been shared. That's why we can't tell you when she's coming back.

Sophia Laforteza also took a break, in August. She is expected back in January 2027.

What a Thinner Lineup Means for Katseye

With Manon and Sophia away, fewer members are sharing the same shows. When one more member is limited, there's less room to cover for her.

Nothing official says how the group is adjusting. Any talk about stage plans is just a guess.

Our guess is that Megan's reduced choreography is tied to a smaller group on stage. That isn't confirmed by the label or the group.

KATSEYE has also had big moments lately, which raises the stakes for every show. (More: the group's recent SNL moment.)

What Megan Herself Has Said About Her Doctors

Megan told fans she would use a modified schedule in Austin. That meant reduced choreography and breaks as needed.

Her words: "I won't be going full out just yet!" NBC News dates that statement to Nov. 9.

Per Stereogum, she performed the Austin show seated and wearing sunglasses. She said her doctors wanted reduced choreography and rest breaks.

She also said she would need a reassessment before doing unrestricted shows.

Things then seemed to ease. In Dallas, she performed the full "PINKY UP" choreography, still in sunglasses, and said, "I'm feeling so much better."

So this is a timeline, not one status. She went from seated in Austin to full choreography in Dallas.
