Kep1ians are urging Huening Bahiyyih's agency, WAKEONE, to protect their artist amid the harassment and bullying she has been receiving for months.
Read below to know what has been happening.
Huening Bahiyyih Targeted by Anti-Fans
According to reports, anti-fans have been criticizing the 17-year-old regarding every little thing she does.
At one point, they even slammed her after they learned she attended a fan event to support her brother, TXT Huening Kai.
Anti-fans questioned why the "Girls Planet 999" alum was there, and spread false claims that she did not get an RT-PCR test, a necessary COVID-19 precaution.

Kep1ians have been rallying behind Bahiyyih ever since the harassment started. But they are aware that they can only do so much without the help of WAKEONE.

However, Kep1ians still think that this is not enough because they want the agency to put an end to what has been happening to Bahiyyih.
The hashtag #WakeOneProtectBahiyyih trended on social media. Others created an email template that can be used for their complaints.
I’ve never seen a company fail so bad on protecting one of their artist. w1 a big factor of ur job is to protect ur artist that in this case is a minor. she’s facing daily attack for being her & she doesn’t deserves this at all! #WakeoneProtectBahiyyih#BahiyyihDeservesLove

Bahiyyih's fans are also aware that most of the criticisms she has been receiving are from her Japanese anti-fans.
They are reportedly complaining about the teenager's private schedules, which Kep1ians believe is an invasion of privacy.
At some point, the anti-fans also asked the teenager to leave Kep1er.
'Girls Planet 999' Director Responds to Controversy
Kim Shin Young, the production director of "Girls Planet 999" said that he was saddened by the fact that these kinds of stories have been coming out even after the debut team was already confirmed.
In October 2021, Huening Bahiyyih's uncle also confirmed that his niece knows about the allegations and criticisms that she has been receiving.

Vincent Huening said that all the negative talks did not affect Huening Bahiyyih in any way because she is a strong person.
Huening Bahiyyih is a product of the reality TV competition, "Girls Planet 999." She ranked second on the show, which made her an automatic member of the group, Kep1er.
The K-pop group debuted on Jan. 3, 2022. They were scheduled to debut sometime in December 2021, but this was postponed after some staff members tested positive for COVID-19.
Their first mini-album, "First Impact" was also released on the day of their debut.
The album features songs like "See the Light," "WA DA DA," and "MVSK."
