On January 10, Manon attended a star-studded fundraising concert organized to support humanitarian efforts in Palestine and Sudan. The event, hosted by A-list celebrities Bella Hadid and Pedro Pascal, brought together international artists such as Shawn Mendes, Clairo, Daniel Caesar and Jazmine Sullivan and successfully raised $5.4 million for the Palestinian Children’s Relief Fund and the Sudanese American Physicians Association.
While fans were already impressed by Manon’s quiet presence in the audience, confirmed by a photo posted on her Instagram story, the real stir began when a video clip emerged showing her singing “Free Palestine” as he left the venue. The video spread quickly on X (formerly Twitter), amassing millions of views and sparking intense discussion.
Many have praised Manon for her courage in expressing clear support for a cause that remains highly politicized, especially in the K-pop and entertainment industry. Admirers have highlighted his willingness to speak out despite potential repercussions, especially as an artist under HYBE, a company that has often come under scrutiny for its affiliations and silence on global issues.
However, some fans have also expressed concern about the possible consequences for Manon’s career, fearing negative reactions or pressure from the industry. However, others hoped that his stance might inspire his fellow KATSEYE members to follow suit.
