huening kai isnt even the most popular in txt, and bahiyyih has more fancam views than him. so no, her popularity is NOT due to her brother and she clearly has her own fanbase
DO NOT BE DELUSIONAL. Yes hiyyih is slowly building her own fanbase now but 80% of her popularity is because of kai, the reason she debuted is mainly because of Kai. Not being the most popular in TXT does not mean not popular at all. HE IS VERY POPULAR AND WELL KNOWN BY PEOPLE EVEN OUTSIDE OF THE FANDOM. Her attention during the show was because of Kai so majority of her popularity is infact because of Kai and its reallY not a bad thing to admit. I LOVE HER BUT I VOTED FOR HER BECAUSE OF KAI AND SO DID MANY OTHER PEOPLE. You cannot say she has her own fanbase without crediting Kai when her attention was cause of Kai and the main reason she debuted. FANCAM VIEWS DOES NOT EQUAL POPULARITY. She has more views then yeonjun now and he is the most popular member of TXT. Are you going to say she is more popular then yeonjun because of views? NO because not everyone watches fancams. Hiyyih barely had any screentime in the show or lines in their new song so obviously people want to watch to acrually see her. Just becuase she has more views than Kai does not mean she has a bigger fanbase than Kai. Kai might be the most underrated in TXT but TXT is alot more popular then kepler so kai is VERY POPULAR. Lets be honest here, if it was not for Kai she would not have as much attention as she got and she probably would not have debuted. I voted for her eveyday because of Kai and i know many moas that did the same. She did not get enough screentime to have a strong enough fandom to debut without Kai and thats the reality of it. She is very talented but 80% of her fandom is because of Kai whether people found her because of the hate comments or not it all leads back to Kai because the hate was because of her being Kais sister. She is talented and lovely but its not that hard to admit that majority of her fandom is because of Kai one way or another. They do not have to be MOAS, it can be because of Kai in any other way. She is slowly building her own fanbase and proving herself so instead of making up excuses by discrediting Kai just admit the truth and let her prove herself. Fancam views does not equal popularity, she has more views then many popular idols so are you going to say those idols are not popular? NO because not everyone watches fancams and fyi txt debut fancams had ALOT of views aswell. Kai is overall VERY POPULAR even if he is the most underrated he is not some unknown artist but VERY WELL KNOWN. Jhope is the least popular of bts but does that mean he is not very popular? NOPE. Least popular does not mean OVERALL not VERY POPULAR.
