At Accor Arena in Paris on September 9, 2026, during the Wildworld Tour, KATSEYE member Megan Skiendiel was grabbed on the chest by a fan while the group moved through the audience for the song “Time Lapse.” Hours later she posted on Weverse asking fans to stay respectful during close interactions. The message was calm, specific, and necessary for a young woman working a high-contact live segment night after night on a major arena run.

Megan pediu respeito aos fãs após Paris

“When we come down for ‘Time Lapse,’ we love being able to see all your beautiful faces and be able to hold your hands,” she wrote. “But let’s please be respectful and don’t touch us in inappropriate areas or inappropriately. Today someone grabbed my chest and left me a bit spooked!” Videos from the same night also showed a fan pulling Daniela Avanzini’s hair during the crowd walk. The combination sparked strong reactions from EYEKONS, who condemned the behavior and called for better security during interactive parts of the show.
Why Megan’s Statement Matters
Megan did not respond with anger or withdrawal. She named what happened and set a boundary in public. In an industry where young women are often expected to absorb discomfort for the sake of “fan service,” that clarity carries weight. The Time Lapse segment has been one of the emotional high points of the Wildworld Tour set — a chance for members to step off the stage and meet the crowd up close. When that moment becomes unsafe, the cost falls on the artists, not on the people who crossed the line and disappeared into the dark.
Her request was simple: keep the connection, keep it respectful. That should not be a controversial ask. It is basic. The fact that it had to be said out loud is the problem.
Context Inside the Four-Member Tour
The Paris date was part of a European leg performed by four members after Sophia Laforteza and Manon Bannerman stepped back. The shows still sold out from Dublin through Copenhagen. The incident did not stop the run, but it put artist safety back at the center of the conversation for the rest of Europe and for the North American leg that opens in Miami on October 13. Security plans and audience behavior will remain a live issue for every remaining date that includes a crowd walk or similar close interaction.
Groups that invite fans into the performance space depend on an unspoken contract. Megan made the contract spoken. That is leadership, not overreaction.
