KATSEYE's Manon Bannerman has given fans an update after she was noticeably absent from the group's music video teaser for their new song, "Pinky Up."

Back in February, the group’s record labels announced Manon would be "taking a temporary hiatus from group activities to focus on her health and wellbeing,” but some fans were still upset to see her missing from the video.

Manon shared a statement on Weverse DMs, writing that she’s been having “positive conversations” with the labels HYBE and Geffen Records.

"Thank you so much for all the love and support you've been sending my way," she wrote, according to Forbes. "I'm really grateful for the patience and kindness everyone has shown during this time. HxG and I are having positive conversations and I feel supported. I'm happy and I'm healthy. I'll share more soon. Thank you for always being there for me."

KATSEYE’s new song, “Pinky Up,” and its video drop April 9 at 9 p.m. PT.
