Huening siblings join Kep1er’s Huening Bahiyyih’s WA DA DA Challenge
Since the news of Huening Bahiyyih debuting in Kep1er was announced, fans of the new girl group and TXT’s fandom counted down the days when the siblings would meet as idols. While having a popular brother in TXT’s Huening Kai posed hurdles for Bahiyyih’s climb to success, the loyal fandom made sure to shower her with continuous support and love.
The day that fans have waited for arrived on January 11 when TXT’s Huening Kai danced with his sister Huening Bahiyyih on her debut song, WA DA DA. On TikTok, the video was uploaded with the caption, “With Huening Kai sunbaenim (senior).” The thought of Bahiyyih meeting her older brother and addressing him as sunbaenim, as is the custom in K-pop groups, melted fans’ hearts.
Moreover, fans even found the eldest Huening sibling, former idol, Lea, participating in the #WADADAChallenge with the Kep1er member. Lea’s post showed that the siblings filmed the challenge together on the same day as the backgrounds and outfits were similar.
As the oldest member, Lea shared a video filling the caption with supportive words. She wrote,
“I really wanted to do the WA DA DA Challenge. The song is really addictive. Our family’s youngest, good luck!”
Take a look at how the fans reacted:
Apart from the Huening siblings, Kep1er filmed the challenge with many other newly-found superstars such as members from the teenage dance crews TURNS and BRANDNEWCHILD from Street Dance Girls Fighter.
