Hannah Bahng Nearly Debuted As A HYBE Girl Group Member
Before Hannah Bahng made her solo artist debut, she told her followers via a YouTube Q&A that she had no intentions of becoming a K-Pop idol, although she was the sister of Stray Kids‘ Bang Chan.
Yet, in a new interview, Hannah Bahng revealed she nearly joined a HYBE girl group.

The Zach Sang Show shared a new 50-minute interview with the Australian singer who just made her comeback with The Abysmal EP. In a now-viral clip shared via TikTok, Hannah explained how she was “almost” part of a HYBE group.
Hannah shared a story about how her now-manager discovered her via TikTok but didn’t contact her for another two weeks. In the same night, her manager contacted her, and she received an email from HYBE. Obviously, Hannah ultimately rejected HYBE.
Still, Hannah revealed details. She explained it was for HYBE and Geffen Records‘ new girl group.
Hannah said that if her manager had contacted her any later, she would have been more inclined to go with HYBE. Now, she is happy she went with her gut and is doing what she is now, as she is under her own company, BAHNG ENTERTAINMENT.

Netizens were shook, visualizing Hannah as a member of KATSEYE, the international girl group formed through the reality show The Debut: Dream Academy, a collaboration between HYBE and Geffen Records.
While many could not help but imagine Hannah would have been an iconic member of KATSEYE, fans agreed Hannah is such a unique and multitalented solo artist. We commend her for forging her own path!
