Background

Huening Bahiyyih (휴닝바히에), whose full name is Bahiyyih Jaleh Huening, is a South Korean singer and dancer best known as a member of the K-pop girl group Kep1er (케플러). She was born on July 27, 2004, in Seoul, South Korea, and comes from a multicultural family with Korean and German-American heritage. She is the youngest of three siblings, including her older sister Lea Huening, a singer and former member of the girl group VIVA, and her older brother Huening Kai, a member of the K-pop boy group TXT (TOMORROW X TOGETHER). Growing up in a musically inclined family, Bahiyyih developed an interest in singing, dancing and performing.

Although she initially ranked 26th among the Korean contestants, she steadily attracted a dedicated international fanbase. Her performances and growing popularity helped her advance through the competition, and she ultimately finished in second place during the finale on October 22, 2021. The result earned her a position in Kep1er's nine-member debut lineup. She officially debuted with the group on January 3, 2022, through the mini album FIRST IMPACT and its title track "WA DA DA." Since debuting, Bahiyyih has developed a recognizable performance style characterized by her bright vocal tone, expressive dancing and distinctive stage presence.
