But throughout the show, the singer has charmed not only the judges but also the viewers with her talent. She finished second in the final lineup, with the top 9 making it to Kep1er.mika •Kep1er•@hiyyihchangHuening Bahiyyih of Kep1er✨•Multi-talented•Multilingual (Korean, English, Chinese, Portuguese, etc)•Passed 9 auditions in big companies (including SM, JYP, YG, and Belift)•Former Cube trainee but is now under Play M•Came from a family of performers/artists#BAHIYYIH4:00 AM · Oct 24, 2021608197Huening Bahiyyih of Kep1er✨•Multi-talented•Multilingual (Korean, English, Chinese, Portuguese, etc)•Passed 9 auditions in big companies (including SM, JYP, YG, and Belift)•Former Cube trainee but is now under Play M•Came from a family of performers/artists#BAHIYYIH https://t.co/ouixr44cb7The singer’s unprecedented success is one of the reasons for the hate. Throughout the reality show, the charming singer's ranking was relatively low, with Bahiyyih holding a ranking of 13 overall in the penultimate episode. Many thought she wouldn't make it to the final lineup.Bahiyyih's scores, though, skyrocketed after Girls Planet 999 adopted the divisive one-pick vote system. The artist's massive fan base voted for her, putting the performer in second place with 923,567 points. In light of this rise, several viewers of Girls Planet theorized that it was solely due to her famous siblings, that Bahiyyih could gather such huge number of votes.While the haters have found their match in the fans of Bahiyyih, the actions of media agencies, according to these fans, are only escalating the situation. In a number of articles on the idol, the headline is prefixed with a “TXT’s Huening Kai’s sister” and variations of the same.Math⁵𖧵➳❥@Raythilleeshe's HUENING BAHIYYIH not HUENING KAI'S YOUNGER SISTER, it's not difficult, right?? twitter.com/allkpop/status…allkpop@allkpopTXT member Hueningkai's younger sister to debut in a new girl group allkpop.com/article/2021/1…12:18 PM · Oct 24, 2021154TXT member Hueningkai's younger sister to debut in a new girl group allkpop.com/article/2021/1…she's HUENING BAHIYYIH not HUENING KAI'S YOUNGER SISTER, it's not difficult, right?? twitter.com/allkpop/status…Tam⁸ ⚓︎ || 정윤호☀ 정우영🍀@Bangwrldd@allkpop can you just call her by her name instead of using the 'sibling of certain idol'1:58 AM · Oct 24, 20211304@allkpop can you just call her by her name instead of using the 'sibling of certain idol'미나 MINA : #KEP1ER@HIYYIHCORE@allkpop A tutorial on how to say her name just in case you forgot2:28 AM · Oct 24, 202139127@allkpop A tutorial on how to say her name just in case you forgothttps://t.co/EphDDgPQG1Amber@Chip1708@allkpop Why can’t ya’ll jus use her name Huening Bahiyyih, instead of “Huening Kai’s sister” every time?
