Kep1er Huening Bahiyyih’s Fans Once Again Call Out WAKEONE For Alleged Mistreatment
Kep1er is preparing to make their comeback, TROUBLESHOOTER, and fans were incredibly excited about the different concepts shown in the teaser images.
This excitement was only heightened at the highlight medley, which showcased Kep1er’s upcoming five songs.
However, right before Kep1er’s comeback, fans were disheartened by an alleged spoiler of the line distribution for the title track, “We Fresh,” based on what fans heard in the pre-recording. According to fans who listened to the song live, Huening Bahiyyih barely has three seconds of lines.
So understandably, now fans of Huening Bahiyyih are incredibly disheartened about the upcoming comeback, frustrated by WAKEONE‘s continued treatment of Huening Bahiyyih.
Despite Huening Bahiyyih’s immense talent, work ethic, and popularity, fans believe that WAKEONE has failed to give her the spotlight she deserves.
How hard can it be to treat a member FAIRLY?? And she’s the MOST PROFITABLE ONE. W1 wake up! Sorry i had to #kep1erdisband

She is only treated as part of the group when it is convenient for wakeone#kep1erdisband

For instance, since Kep1er’s debut, fans of Huening Bahiyyih have been demanding that WAKEONE give the idol more screen time and lines in Kep1er’s songs.
Bahiyyih got praises with that line on the boys song cover they had, now imagine if she had lines on Kep1er’s new song, tired of wakeone wasting her vocals 🥴

"Bahiyyih got a lot of screen time". No. Enough with accepting the bare mininimum guys. Just because this is better than the usual CRUMBS of screen time she normally gets, doesn't mean its "a lot". They're just showing quick shots of her here & there. We need to aim bigger.

Fans have also voiced their frustration with how WAKEONE has handled the malicious comments that Huening Bahiyyih regularly receives, arguing that they haven’t done enough to protect their artist.
PROTECT HIYYIH! you haven’t done anything to help hiyyih with the harassment & threats she has been receiving. you have been ignoring ALL our emails we have sent & we still haven’t seen any change. was this post just to “show off “? #WakeoneProtectBahiyyih#BahiyyihDeservesLove pic.twitter.com/A5qsuTzH57

Even recently, fans were calling out the 2022 The Fact Music Awards (FMAs) for how they treated Kep1er by asking Huening Bahiyyih a question about her brother, TXT‘s Huening Kai, rather than about the group.
Bahiyyih is not just kai’s sister.She is an idol who is working hard to make her own name and fame.Stop asking her always about her brother. #RESPECT_BAHIYYIH

And now fans are again calling out WAKEONE for the alleged line distribution of “We Fresh” since, based on what fans who attended the pre-recording heard, Huening Bahiyyih barely has any lines.
According to fans, Huening Bahiyyih’s alleged lines are highlighted in yellow.

From the alleged spoiler, fans realized that all of Huening Bahiyyih’s lines had already been revealed in the teasers.
So this is basically all Hiyyih’s line. As you can see it’s all adlibs, no actual singing line pic.twitter.com/igUaa95qKf

This was even more disheartening for fans, who had been excited to see how much Huening Bahiyyih had been featured in the teasers, having hoped it meant she would be more prominently featured in the comeback.
they literally only used hiyyih on the teaser to get more views that’s absolutely horrible #kep1erdisband #freehiyyih https://t.co/1DcJHAlUrJ

Fans of Huening Bahiyyih are outraged with WAKEONE, demanding better treatment.
she’s so much more than her last name and I hope she can redebut in a group where she’s treated fairly bc this is not fucking it #kep1erdisband
— ☁️ heetober (@hiyyihwonie) October 12, 2022
Free bahiyyih right now. Can't give her decent line but you forced her to use her last name as stage name against her wishes and you used her to promote the comeback. This is madness #kep1erdisband #fuckwakeone

it’s not even, “oh x member is the company favorite” it’s just straight up WakeOne håteś Bahiyyih.
I’ve never seen a company so openly and blatantly just use a member for promotions and then throw them to the side. #KEP1ERDISBAND
