KATSEYE is a Grammy-nominated global girl group formed in 2024 through a joint venture between HYBE, the South Korean entertainment giant behind BTS, and Geffen Records. Manon Bannerman is the group's only Black member and a fan favourite. In February 2026, HYBE announced Manon was taking a hiatus for her "health and wellbeing," but Manon wrote hours later that "sometimes things unfold in ways we don't fully control." She subsequently liked a post titled "another Black girl subjected to racism and label mistreatment." Significant fan backlash has followed, with many calling on HYBE to take responsibility. Her return has not been confirmed.

When considering the use of force by law enforcement, two legal standards are usually applied. Under the reasonableness standard, courts consider multiple factors such as the threat level, suspect behaviour, and urgency of the situation to determine whether the use of force was legitimate. Under the stricter last resort standard, force is only legitimate when all other options have failed or are unavailable.

An apex court is the highest court in a national judicial system, it exercises appellate jurisdiction over all other courts, and, where applicable, original jurisdiction over constitutional matters. Most judges are appointed to apex courts from lower courts within the same hirearchy.

All must still hold legal qualifications and be leaders in their field.

'First past the post' refers to a voting system where voters mark one candidate as their first preference. The candidate with most first preferences wins even if they don't have a majority of the votes. 

In contrast, in preferential voting systems voters rank candidates in order of preference on the ballot paper. If no candidate receives a majority of first-preference votes, the candidate with the fewest votes is excluded and their votes are redistributed to the remaining candidates based on the next preference listed, continuing until one candidate achieves a majority.
