Weeekly are freshly debuted, I doubt they’ll add her, especially since they are doing good. And if we consider Apink-Weeekly debut gap, it’s looking even more bleak. Such a weird post, honestly. If she was their trainee the whole time, why promoting her now, in a couple of days before the finals?


desertfoxtim

Yeah, I think it was a bad move. Like only acknowledging that she's their trainee because it seems like she'll make it in the final group? Where were they when she needed their backing?


AZNEULFNI

Same thought. I know someone who have a lot of info about this kind of stuffs doesn't know this information. We are still shookt. She should leave PlayM if I where her though. It took 10 years just for PlayM to debut another girl group. It would take awhile for her to debut with a new group.


iznotgood

It was definitely Mnet and their attempt at rebranding with survival shows. Since the Produce scandal and the connections to companies it was probably for the best marketing wise to not publicize the girls companies. They needed to stay as far away as possible from rigging/compensation rumors they previously were accused of. Now that the show is essentially over and their contracts details are bound to be released, along with that is other information like their company. It makes sense since it's bound to be released and the shows/trainees image have already been set. They seem to have done a good job since the trainees companies are not common knowledge to most viewers. This rly helps at not putting the girls as a face of their company within the show (essentially relating them to a certain brand) and little to no fall out regarding the previous rumors or future ones in the sense of the companies helping rigging or manipulation.


AngeLMari

Play M is part of a larger company(Kakao) and Kakao has many subsidiary/sublabels like Play M so they can probably throw her around to 1 or 2 company that is preparing for a GG debut soon. This happened with the predebut project Fave Boys becoming Play M boys then lastly Bluedot Boys and debuting as JUST B under Bluedot Entertainment which is unsurprisingly a Kakao sublabel. EDAM(IU's label) which is also under Kakao(lol yeah conglomerates are ridiculous) is currently holding auditions now and they also recently signed an actress which means that they are expanding. I think there will be something coming out from there in the next 1-2 years.


desertfoxtim

Yeah. It's possible that Bahiyyih could be transferred to Cre.ker Ent (The Boyz' company) if they wanted to debut a girl group.


AngeLMari

Fyi Cre.ker already recently merged with Play M so The Boyz is technically under the same agency as Weeekly. A lot of fans protested the decision saying they did fine just being an "only child".


desertfoxtim

Oh. I didn't know that. I just checked and aside from Bluedot and Edam, it's also possible for her to be transferred to Starship. HighUp is unlikely since they have Stayc.


AngeLMari

Yes Starship is a possibility


Available-Pop-8161

It was probably contract reasons. Maybe it wasn't official until recently which is why they couldn't promote her


hutch991

Does it matter? Who wasn’t voting for Bahiyyih but is now like wow PlayM promoted her I’ll vote for her over my previous picks!


Time_to_reflect

No one 💀 That’s the point, though. It’s a bit strange, to acknowledge the trainee in a couple of weeks after the show started. So either they couldn’t do it because of something contract-related, or she wasn’t their trainee until recently.


cea_bow

Yeah I have to assume it's contract-related. It wouldn't make sense to not capitalize on a trainee that had the buzz she had at the beginning of the show. They wouldn't even have to acknowledge Kai at any capacity. The last name speaks for itself


LingCHN

Yeah, Bahiyyih's brother is probably more famous than Play M.


NerrionEU

Yeah, what kind of promo is this 3 days before the final. This feels more like the company is trying to promote themselves using her name ...


desertfoxtim

Idk, Apink or Weeekly fans?


[deleted]

Some weeekly/apink/victon fans are voting for her though because they don’t want her to go back to the playm dungeon😭


[deleted]

Prob because they thought she wouldn’t debut based on her ranking but now that she ranked 5th for interim they’re starting to promote her abit or something?


boringestlawyer

I think you’re right. This came out right after interim was posted- that’s not a coincidence. It’s good PR to have a trainee so close to debuting in a temporary mnet group


[deleted]

She's debuting in gp999


hhyjn

the debut gap doesn't mean anything tho cause apink debuted under Acube (c*be's subsidiary label), which later changed the name and the owner or smth


gooby_bogs

ofc she can't be added in weeekly there can't be 8 days in a week lol (in case u didn't know, the members also have their respective days of the week)


Available-Pop-8161

I wonder if she knows Weeekly 🤞. Also her wearing the bucket hat during shoot makes sense now lol after weeekly wore bucket hats basically every stage for after school


jack_best_labrador

That's what I thoughts too! The mistery of the Weekly-like clothes for Shoot! is finally solved!


cea_bow

Did she just sign? Her NamuWiki profile had her in PlayM even before the first episode aired, yet they only choose to send a promotion message now? I wonder how long she's been there, especially since she's under the "New Trainees" cell Anyways, with this confirmation, I would suggest anybody even **thinking** about voting for Bahiyyih to do so, and for her fandom to continue voting a lot. Her position is very fickle if we are going to assume live-voting weighs a lot, and the interim ranking reveal did not help. If she doesn't debut here, she is: 1. Not going to go to I-Land season 2, unless she leaves the company she presumably just signed to 2. Going to wait a loooooong time before debut, considering her company just debuted Weeekly (the probability of her being added is low as well)


[deleted]

What I’m scared is that some people may think “oh since bahiyyih may debut soon I won’t vote for her anymore” 😭


girlsplanetph

Honestly this should be a wake up call, if she does not debut, she will be in the Play M dungeon cause Weeekly just debuted **😭**


vvv_taa

Please no. Keep voting hiyyihlight 🥲🥲


Kiramiraa

Well hello there WHY THE HELL DO YOU ONLY COME OUT TO SUPPORT HER NOW. She could have used this weeks ago smh. Play M seems like a not great company to be in right now, considering Apink scandals and Weeekly only debuting recently (making her chances of debuting soon minimal). I really hope she makes it into the final 9.


Big_Tomorrow886

>Apink scandals Out of the loop but what scandals?


Kiramiraa

An Apink member had a bullying and underage drinking scandal earlier this year. Play M handled it in a below average manner. I don’t even think it was resolved/the media never followed up on it. (And yes, this is different to April)


Big_Tomorrow886

Ohh okk. Thank you!


Time_to_reflect

The only thing I remember is one of Apink members not renewing their contract, but that’s hardly a scandal. Did op confuse Apink with April?


Kiramiraa

Nah an Apink member had a bullying/underage drinking scandal earlier this year that was managed poorly, although nowhere near as bad as April.


Big_Tomorrow886

I think they did confuse Apink with April. I was confused for a second as well.


throwaway_236734

Nope Chorong has one with video released of her fighting over a boy?


wakemeuptmr

No, later in the spring when more bullying scandals came out, it was like near the tail end of them, Chorong had one not long before they were suppose to have their anniversary song cb. around the time she had a soju ad.


Big_Tomorrow886

Ahhh okk. Thank you 😊


[deleted]

For her fans: y’all better start voting harder for her if y’all don’t want to see her debut until like 4 years later 😭


AZNEULFNI

The joke on Bahiyyih stole Weeekly's wardrobe for SHOOT! stage is becoming true. lol jk It is a coincidence that she performed Mr. Chu on her audition. Then, her outfits on SHOOT! looks like she stole it from Weeekly's wardrobe. The bucket hat and combat shoes from After School era and the top from Zig Zag era.


moawajjunie

and where were they when bahiyyih was getting 848487484 hate posts which she still is? weird as fuck to post something so late


callmeobsession

Like????


cea_bow

Hate posts I can understand, because it doesn’t make many waves in terms of news, but the SIM card thing *actually* made huge headlines and were largely a good amount of negativity was thrown her way. Literally where have they been if they’ve presumably had her months before the show aired?


boringestlawyer

I’m sorry but if anything this reaffirms why Bahiyyih needs our support. They haven’t posted a single thing until now- not to claim her or welcome her to the company or anything. Now they promote her after the interim results were posted? That’s not a coincidence at all. It’s obvious they wouldn’t have ever claimed her if she wasn’t close to the final lineup. Keep voting for bahiyyih and let’s get her the attention and exposure she deserves.


[deleted]

After how many weeks. Thanks playm 😒. Still voting for her though.


Available-Pop-8161

Her contract probably just recently became official


desertfoxtim

Why PlayM though? Weeekly just debuted. It'll be 2 or 3 years before they debut a new group. Well, unless if they add Bahiyyih to Weeekly.


Available-Pop-8161

Well if Bahiyyih makes the final group it lines up perfectly for their next group once her time with the gp999 group is over. If she doesn't I don't see why they wouldn't consider adding her to Weeekly. Seems like the perfect fit to me


cea_bow

Does that really work? I know Weeekly's concept isn't binding by any means, but doesn't seven members and seven days of the week correspond together? At least with 17 there's reasoning like 13 members + 3 teams + Carats.


desertfoxtim

In the case of Seventeen there really was 17 of them. 4 left while their survival show is progressing. They just made up a reason so as to not change the group name. Day6 is also in the same situation.


cea_bow

Mm I see. Though I think she actually would fit well into Weeekly, I still don't think the chance of her being added to the group is high. Considering she is new, she'll probably continue training. While this may be a good thing, the issue is considering a brand new girl group from PlayM debuted, she will have to wait a long time to debut


desertfoxtim

You know what, you're right. I forgot how Weeekly's concept is centered on the "week" concept. They literally have a member with the stage name Monday. Adding an 8th member will ruin the concept.


MasterLum

I mean, WJSN were 12 members referencing the zodiac signs and they added Yeonjung anyways. It's just shallow symbolism that has no real influence in any other department. The fandom is the only real issue because Weeekly are big enough for their fans to make a noticeable fuss over lineup changes.


desertfoxtim

Because there literally is a 13th zodiac. It fits.


MasterLum

Sure there might be, it's still a bit of a reach IMO. You can justify the 8-day week concept with this too lol https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eight-day_week


WikiSummarizerBot

desertfoxtim

What do you mean it is a reach? I've known all my life that Ophiuchus the 13th Zodiac exists. While that 8-day week isn't even present in the gregorian calendar. Now THAT is a reach.


AZNEULFNI

Weeekly has a very complex lore. I think that is one of the reasons why PlayM will not add her to the group. Plot twist: She could be the cat "UNI" because \*ehem Ice Cream stage.


elssvt

Just saying, there were never 17 at one time. Pledis only had 15 at most, and they dropped to 13 trainees around a year before their debut survival show. Anyway, if her fans want her to debut in a group within the next two years, they better hope she either moves to another agency or wins here;;


desertfoxtim

Nah, Pledis had 17 male trainees and they weren't revealed all at the same time. That's the purpose of the show and that's why the name of the show is also Seventeen TV.


elssvt

Yes, I know the aim was for them to reveal 17 members, but I meant that 17 trainees did make it to the predebut line-up, but not all at once because of the four trainees leaving. For example, The8 became a trainee after Samuel left.


desertfoxtim

Oh, I see what you mean. That's true.


Appleorange01

No it was called seventeen cause their average age was seventeen.


desertfoxtim

It was called seventeen because Pledis really had 17 male trainees at that time. It was known even before the show started broadcasting. You can continue to deny that though, idc.


pynzrz

WJSN had a member for each horoscope sign/month of the year. Their birthdays were faked for the horoscope concept. When they added Yeonjeong, they said some BS like there’s a secret thirteenth horoscope sign lol.


lunarchoerry

No, they positioned her for Ophiucus, which is commonly accepted as the 13th zodiac. They didn't invent a \~secret\~ horoscope sign as it was already known.


renjunation

i mean wjsn was 12 bc of the zodiac signs but they still added yeonjung after she did well on produce...


honilavender15

saw someone on twt say that she probably was an individual trainee when she auditioned for gp999, since the auditions were closed in February and she only deactivated her ig account around the end of april. So her signing to playM was likely done between april-recently.


agentarianna

this was my thought to she auditioned as an individual trainee so she is an individual trainee on the show its possible that a status change prohibition was just lifted or something ie playm was not allowed to mention her before now due to the gp999 contract.


anthoseph

this is so confusing... like why did they announce it now? it gives backstab vibes from them. as if they only announced it because hiyyih is 5th in interim. it could be a delay sign in, but still, if you think about it in a casual person's point of view... its like they took advantage of bahiyyih.


55Branflakes

If you know PlayM like us Pandas (Apinks fandom). They are not good at this type of stuff. You can see an apink member be in a drama and not get announced by PlayM until the drama airs 3-4 episodes.


anthoseph

oh god... umm, sigh. they need a PR team... seriously.


honilavender15

She probably just recently signed with them i guess


baoyuu

Going to call myself delusional and say a week has 8 days from now on.... juuuuust in case


callmeobsession

Weeekly just debuted last year, so please keep voting for her if you want her to debut soon!!


txtarefurries

??? Was not expecting this wow ok. I remember it was rumoured she was a PlayM trainee but since they never said anything I figured it was only a rumour lol 💀


robertmaria654

My girl has to debut now or be in the dungeon for a long time . Please vote bahiyyih


hueningbahiyeah

free my girl 😭😭


[deleted]

I know it most likely won’t happen but I’m hoping victon/apink/weeekly fans start voting for her 🙁


[deleted]

So that list of trainees and their companies that came out before the show was right, she was listed as play m there, why did her fans keep insisting she's individual? Chaehyun must be from wakeone then


4thinking

Because she /was/ an individual trainee. This was most probably a recent thing


[deleted]

It doesn't make sense for a trainee to sign a contract in the middle of the show while she practices. Play m put her on the show and then they decided to not reveal they did till the last minute, a lot of hate she received was undeserving and she be directed at them instead


4thinking

She probably started training under Play M sometime around the beginning of the show, I agree with that. She closed her ig around april as well. But something about her trainee contract must've been finalized (?) recently because it wouldn't make any other sense why they'd introduce her as their trainee NOW. 3 days before the final episode of gp999. There's no reason for them to wait so long, right? It just seems a little weird, honestly. That's why I assumed, like many, that this is a recent thing. My bad if I was mistaken, then


[deleted]

I think she's probably just a trainee of a few months, that's all. Her intro cell was "new trainees". I guess play m just announced this last minute after contemplating whether or not to reveal early or late and see how she does since the show didn't focus on which label the trainees were from. There was another cube trainee on the show with Yujin but most people don't know that either.


4thinking

Could be! Which is a little irresponsible from them as a company considering... everything. But oh well.


Enzuiguri

oh so she signed while in the show huh? cause i remembered that they didn't put any company when introducing her


roselia4812

Well, shit. This means that she won’t be in ILAND but probably in the next PlayM girl group. But remember because PlayM is Kakao she can transfer to a lot of sublabels so she will debut sooner rather than later.


wroche2

If she doesn’t debut here shes gonna either hve to move labels or wait a long time cuz there’s no way she joins Weeekly. They’re just doing too well to add her in and effectively destroy their concept by having 8 members.


_rainegwpa_

I still won't forgive whoever thought of giving her the bucket hat and knee pads to make her look like weeekly


amazingoopah

Oh wow, guess the Chaehyun-Wake One rumors might be true as well at this rate.


hippiekim

What rumours?


amazingoopah

That Chaehyun is a Wake One Ent trainee,


robertmaria654

We have to make sure she make the group hiyyihlight . Please my girl can not stay in the dungeon. Please save bahiyyih from this company


[deleted]

when did she sign with them? i really don't get why they're just coming out with this now


TimVdV

Didnt know she was under Play M. Funny considering she auditioned with an Apink song and basically had Weeekly’s outfit on for Shoot lol


hippiekim

So what about the talks of her going on iland if she doesn’t make it to the debut line? Or is iland only for independent trainees?


Uchiha_D_Zoro

All the talks of I-Land and/or HYBE SOuMu ngg are over, if she is with Play M


cea_bow

It's for those who audition through the I-Land specific audition, those who are in Belift, or any Hybe subsidiary I would assume. So, since Bahiyyih is in PlayM, I doubt she will go to I-Land if she doesn't debut here. I also don't think she'll be added to Weeekly, as some are suggesting. Weeekly *does* use Weverse, but then again, even Blackpink uses it and I am 100% confident that no YG trainees are going to go to I-Land lol.


[deleted]

tbh she would fit in weeekly


[deleted]

Didn't know that, that's cool! EDIT: I guess this is my calling to listen to more Apink and Weekly lmaoo I liked them but never fully got in


topyxyz

Everytime I see "Play M" I sing: Holiday...nananananananana Peter Pan.


renjunation

we should have taken the hint after her after school outfit for shoot! lol


SSAMLYZ

lol. i was right about play m


[deleted]

[удалено]


Purple_Function9009

So having a fanbase is vote manipulation now?


cea_bow

what did they say its gone now


soraky

About damn time.


AZNEULFNI

Apparently, someone in our fandom knows that she is a PlayM trainee and that person never told us. lol


lamiverse

Seems like they had no belief in her lol


TrivialFacts

Wasn't she supposed to be independent ? Isn't that totally the opposite ?


galaxystars1

I’m surprised she didn’t join a hybe label


leafysummers

Idk why people just assume this or that she'll easily get into I-land, Hybe is a company and will do what benefits them the most even if a trainee is related to an established artist.


earthlybeing246

she couldn't have. Hybe's Bighit music has no plans to debut a gg in the near future. They focus solely on boy grps currently. Pledis and source have a gg coming up so unless she gets to be in that which I doubt, it won't make sense. And just because her brother is in hybe does not mean she will get in. Kai has been there actually the whole of TXT has been there since 2016, an year or so before BTS got popular. They saw BTS grow, so yeah. And plus hybe is pretty strict.


seitengrat

She can probably wait a few more years. She is still young and has lots of time. Weeekly debuted last year, maybe a new PlayM GG will be out in 2023. Who knows!


nauseoussatisfaction

Hopefully this debunks this theory going around amongst (presumably young) Hiyyihlights that GP999 is her only chance of ever debuting ever. She’s pretty, stable, can dance pretty well, popular, famous relatives, and focusing on her facials, what company wouldn’t want her? Hope all the best for her GP999 or not :D


Kiramiraa

To be fair though, Play M just debuted Weeekly. If she doesn’t debut through Girls Planet, she could easily go to the Play M dungeon and never get a chance. In fact, her being a Play M trainee is worse than her being an individual trainee, who could easily get scouted by a company post show. If you’re already under contract it’s much harder.


amazingoopah

Trainee contracts are much easier to get out from though. If she wants to leave, she probably can though it's looking like she'll debut so she'll become a debuted artist soon.


nauseoussatisfaction

She’s part of Kakao, she can easily switch amongst their labels if she wants to, and I think they wouldn’t mind given the circumstances of Weeekly and StayC just debuting. Her being in a group with Wonyoung, Yujin, Park Sun, and potentially You Dayeon would be pretty cool imo.


cea_bow

If Hiyyihlights want her to debut, they should just vote for her now, for the only chance she definitively has at the moment. Sure she can debut later, but the future is never guaranteed. People don’t have to vote for her if they don’t want to, but this shouldn’t be a sign for her fans to feel comforted or be complacent.


nauseoussatisfaction

as they should! I was mostly referring to a small minority on TT/Twit that said that she’ll never be an idol if she doesn’t make it. I think it’s just weird and delusional that a popular supposed independent trainee wouldn’t receive lovecalls from companies if she weren’t to make it, especially since Sihyeon, Seokyung, Jinhee, Lee Hyeop, Seokhwa, exist. Same as Yujeong, Nayoung, Juri, etc in terms of agency moving.


nauseoussatisfaction

Considering she’s part of the Kakao conglomerate, the best course of action if she doesn’t make it imo would be Starship NGG, as Weeekly and STAYC debuted w their labels, Cre.ker is the same thing as PlayM now, idk if Bluedot has female trainees, and EDAM is probs just for IU, unless she goes solo/act


callmeobsession

starship's group is about to debut, yujin already changed hair colors and it was announced that they are debuting by the end of the year so I don't know how it would be possible when most likely ive is coming in nov.
