KATSEYE member Megan Skiendiel sparked concern among fans and netizens after performing at the group’s recent concert while still recovering from a concussion.
Photos and videos from KATSEYE’s “Wildworld Tour” stop at the Moody Center in Texas on Tuesday, November 10 (US time), showed members Yoonchae, Lara, and Daniela performing a dance routine onstage, while Megan remained seated at the side of the stage as she sang her parts with limited movement.
Megan was also seen wearing protective sunglasses as she continued recovering from her injury. Her condition reportedly prevents her from dancing and being exposed to bright lights.
Although KATSEYE has previously performed without two of its members, Manon Bannerman and Sophia Laforteza, Megan’s limited participation in the latest concert prompted a fresh wave of concern among fans, particularly over her exposure to the concert environment while recovering.
Megan’s attendance on the show sparked mixed reactions from fans and netizens online, with most expressing their concern for the recovering artist.
“She did have a concussion SO WHY are they exposing her to such loud noises, lights, and so much visual stimulation?”, one X user reacted to a clip from KATSEYE’s show.
“This is really awful TBH, like this company is genuinely abusive af. Also, at this point WHY even have her come? She needs to rest,” another netizen commented on a KATSEYE post.
“Why the hell isn’t she in bed, resting?? This feels very inhumane,” read another comment.
“Are they serious??? Why is she not FULLY on recovery? This actually scares me,” wrote another user.
“KATSEYE [definitely] doing an exposé documentary in like 10 years. Having Megan perform like that is wild af I’m disgusted,” one user posted on X which has since gained more than 32,000 likes on the platform.
Megan first shared the news of her concussion on her Instagram Story last Nov. 5, writing that she was “devastated” and “doing everything I possibly can to recover”.
KATSEYE previously canceled its scheduled shows in Detroit, Chicago, and Minneapolis due to Megan’s health condition.
Meanwhile, the group’s leader and sole Filipino member, Sophia, is expected to return to group activities next year after taking a hiatus to focus on her health. Manon, on the other hand, has yet to announce when she will return to the group.
