Will Hybe buy out Bahiyyih's contract when Kep1er ends and build a group around her like IVE's Wonyoung?

A lot of similarities between Bahiyyih and Wonyoung. Both are extremely popular members in their respective Mnet groups. Any group that picks up Bahiyyih is guaranteed a good amount of album sales and extremely strong following. Also, there's the family angle you can play at with her and her brother.

With how Hybe acquired Chaewon and Sakura when Iz*One disbanded, I think this is a legitimate strategy for Hybe to pursue and build another global girl group with Bahiyyih and maybe one or two Kep1er members.

hopefully not...

Sakura cost hybe immense (her popularity was 100 times whatever this girls is) & NJ is still doing better without having any of those "group around a girl from a previous group" gimmicks. HYBE needs to use their brain for once instead of throwing money & hoping something sticks.

uhm.......

they don't have any plans for new ggs besides the iland ss2 but bahi won't make it there since she still have 2 years contract.

hybe have just debuted 2 ggs and the 3rd will join soon so they won't be debuting any ggs in the next few years.

maybe SM will

No enough nepotism

How do you know? It’s not like they had to buy her contract out. Sakura could graduate whenever she wanted

Sm never takes known idols/ trainees and it’s not like bahiyyih is outstanding. I’m sure they can find better than her. Same with hybe

SM have standards

There is no way you are trying to compare Bayyih with Wonyoung. The set up.

Bahiyyih is popular but it wouldn’t make sense. Hybe already debuted two group, the iLand thing will start too, she will have no place to debut in for years. It’s better off going to another company. Her popularity alone make it worth it for smaller companies.

Lol her akgaes is scary, hybe had enough problem in their hand

They already have her brothers fans why would they want bahi when their fans are basically the same???

well knowing hybe they always want to go for the lazy easy way and get already famous people, so even if she doesnt actually contribute with anything she has her brothers fans to get that
