KATSEYE has just made their Coachella debut as 5 members.

The performance was highly anticipated, as millions of fans waited to see if the group would make an appearance as 5 members or 6. With Manon on an indefinite hiatus since February, speculation and controversy surrounded the girl group's first Coachella performance.

Nevertheless, KATSEYE delivered a show-stopping performance at Coachella on April 10, taking social media by storm.

KATSEYE performed their newest song 'PINKY UP,' as well as some of their well-known hits like 'GNARLY', 'TOUCH,' and 'Gabriela.' The group also performed a special live vocal cover of 'Golden' from "K-Pop Demon Hunters."

Fans are now divided on KATSEYE's Coachella performance. While some are upset by Manon's exclusion from the performance, others are arguing that the group delivered an excellent performance as 5. Some are criticizing the group's live vocal skills, while others believe their performance skills are as strong as ever.

Adding fuel to the fire, Manon was allegedly spotted in the crowd at Coachella. Multiple photos have surfaced showing Manon attending the music festival and interacting with other celebrities, including Chappell Roan and Ice Spice. As Manon's hiatus from KATSEYE activities continues, controversy continues to surround the group.
