Bahiyyih was born on July 27, 2004, which means she is currently 16 years old. She is only two years younger than Huening Kai from TXT. This is what initially made many people think that Bahiyyih was also born and raised in China, as Huening Kai is known to be born and spent his childhood in the Bamboo Curtain Country.

In fact, Lea, Bahiyyih and Huening Kai's older sister, confirmed on one occasion that Bahiyyih did indeed move to Korea for the first time with her family at the age of 6. At that time, she could only speak Mandarin fluently, but now she is fluent in Korean and English.

3. Mixed Blood

Ethnically, Bahiyyih is of Korean descent from her mother's side. However, from her father's side, she is of mixed American descent with Polish, English, and German blood. Interestingly, her father is actually born in Brazil.

Similar to Huening Kai, Bahiyyih is likely able to speak Portuguese. What's cool is that she also inherited artistic talent from her father, Nabil Huening, who is a famous artist, actor, singer, and songwriter in China.

4. Passing Auditions at YG Entertainment and BE:LIFT LAB

In the latest VLIVE, Huening Kai TXT mentioned that his sister has passed several auditions and trained at various places.

At the beginning of the year, the dance academy where Bahiyyih studied confirmed that she passed the initial audition at YG Entertainment. However, Lea later confirmed that her sister did not join the agency. 

Not long after, the same dance academy confirmed that Bahiyyih also passed the audition at BE:LIFT LAB, the agency that oversees ENHYPEN. Speculations then arose, with some thinking that Bahiyyih would become one of the female participants in I-LAND.

5. Her Popularity is No Joke

Although Bahiyyih has never debuted as an idol like her siblings, she has been able to build her popularity independently on social media. Through her personal social media accounts, such as TikTok and YouTube, Bahiyyih has even showcased her singing abilities several times.

One of them is her viral cover of Ariana Grande's song 'Breathin'. In addition, Bahiyyih has also demonstrated her dancing skills with covers of BLACKPINK's 'Kill This Love' and ITZY's 'Icy'. There is even a viral video of her childhood playing the piano on stage.

6. Childhood Television Star

From a professional standpoint as a performer, 'Girls Planet 999' is not Bahiyyih's first appearance on television. Because when she was young, she had already starred in several reality shows with her family and of course, her father in China. This has become an advantage for Bahiyyih when competing on the show 'Girls Planet 999'.

7. Bahiyyih is Very Supportive to Her Siblings

Last but not least, Bahiyyih is known to be very loving and supportive to her siblings. When Lea was still a member of VIVA, Bahiyyih gave her full support to her older sister who was the main vocalist at that time. As additional information, VIVA was an active K-Pop idol group from 2017 to 2019.

Similarly, when Huening Kai debuted with Tomorrow X Together or TXT, Bahiyyih gave him full support. She even saved money to buy him a good smartphone so that he could post good selfies for his fans.

In return, Lea and Huening Kai also gave their support to Bahiyyih. One of them was through a photo of the three siblings, which Lea uploaded on her Insta Story with a caption of encouragement for her younger sister. As for the reason why Huening Kai's face had to be covered with a sticker, fans speculate that it is related to the agency's policy.

Well, those are some interesting facts about Bahiyyih. With her singing, dancing, and musical abilities, she will compete with 99 other participants on Girls Planet 999. Let's follow her journey, whether she can debut through this talent search show that will start airing on August 6, 2021?
