KATSEYE is addressing rumors surrounding bandmate Manon Bannerman's hiatus, firmly denying that race was a factor.
In a recent interview, member Sophia Laforteza stated that the idea of racial discrimination goes against everything the group stands for.
Lara Raj also spoke about the situation, emphasizing that the six members remain each other's "safest space."
She noted that outsiders have no idea what happens behind the scenes.
Speaking to Vanity Fair, Raj insisted there is nothing but love between them, adding that being in the group would be "hell" if they didn't genuinely care for one another.
Manon announced in February that she was stepping away temporarily to focus on her health and well-being. No return date has been announced.
The global girl group was formed during the 2023 reality competition series "Dream Academy" and later featured in the Netflix docuseries "Popstar Academy: KATSEYE."
