Where is Megan in Katseye?

For anyone concerned that Megan is no longer part of Katseye, you can stop worrying now. Megan is still very much a part of the group and, if you follow her on Instagram via @meganskiendiel, you will have seen that she has still been cheering on and supporting her girls all why she's unable to perform with them.

As for what's happened, Megan has had a back injury related to scoliosis and she's recovering before she returns to promo. On September 21st, Katseye's label HYBE released an official statement confirming that Megan would not be taking in Katseye promo activities for the time being.

It read: “We regret to inform you that Megan’s ongoing back injury is continuing to limit Megan’s activities involving heavy performance. After consulting with medical professionals, she will step back from performances for the remainder of the Asia promotional tour.”

When will Megan return to Katseye?

As it stands, Megan is yet to confirm when she will be well enough to perform with Katseye again. In September, she took to her own social media pages to write: "Hi EYEKONS, unfortunately my back condition has gotten worse. The doctor and I came to the decision it would be best for me to rest and let my body fully heal."

She continued to say: "I am devastated I won't be able to be there for the Japanese EYEKONS but I am making sure to do everything I can to get better so next time I could bring my 100%! I'm so sorry and I will be back very soon. Thank you for all of your support and love!"

Since their trip to Asia, Megan has also stepped back from performances on the Kelly Clarkson Show and Mall of America. However, she has remained active on Instagram where she's been praising her bandmates.
