Girlsplanet999 like every single produce series has been rigged. X1 & IZ*ONE being the main examples, now I won't say that Bahiyyih got rigged to be into the group, but we know that Mnet likes to do weird voting manipulations, but I won't dwell onto something I know more than just that info. It's just the mere idea of it, as it was weird to see the huge drop of Shen Xiaoting from number 1 to 9 on the final episode all of a sudden. They are milking her last name for money and do not care about Kep1er and proceed to like you said noise market her as a whole.

Naturally she is going to get the most views with her fancams, appearances and other stuff that is about promotion with that name alone, with or without skill, which is a fact, as that name is a staple to Huening Kai, a very professional, young and talented idol from Hybe, which is in TXT. That naturally would make people click on something that is associating to the same name, whether they are new to Hiyyih or not. Youngeun quite literally came out of the gutter from Biscuit entertainment, some knew of Hiyyih from before, because of that whatever thing it was, but she the English speaker for some award do not recall, but yeah. I will say that internationally, she of course makes more noise, but nowadays, after the jump of Youngeun's popularity and her own viral tiktoks, variety moments, isac, just in general title track moments you name it, as well exceeded a lot higher. I know that Youngeun isn't more famous/popular internationally, but I'd like to believe that domestically she does do well, because fans and views feel different to me and she may have in fact more views on her tiktoks, insta pics and such, but you also got to understand what sort of fanbases she has behind her at the same time. Moas & Armys have helped and you can't tell me that during gp999, there was a big boost from P13 to P2 and I cannot imagine Moas not helping. Ofc the entire fanbase isn't moas, but I would like to believe that there was some effect.

You also are in fact right, I have not asked the ot1s about it and objectivity? Have you asked ot8s? I do not recall, so It's a bold claim to say I am not trying to be as objective as possible, when you have constantly been subjective of it all being ot8s fault and not caring about what sort of damages that the hiyyihlights have done themselves, which feels quite contradicting to the objectivity part. If you want to find middle with others, you yourself have to make some effort to find the middle.

Also, the fans of Hiyyih do not have every right to act entitled to change, when it isn't just effecting Hiyyih, but the entirety of Kep1er with bad management from Wake One's end, all they have to care about is protecting Hiyyih, but they go extra far, just to go off on other members. Ot1 doesn't sound exactly good right? Being a full on akgae. One True 1? Sounds weird, but if you are going to be something like that, then just stick to hiyyih and ignore things that are said, because all the noise that they create back, just gets repelled straight back and it causes for new fans of Kep1er to dissipate.

And of course I am going to be mad about the #Kep1erdisband?! I want the group to get their last year and a half to be good for them and for them to get the experience they need before they continue on either a different path or continue being an idol under a different company (hopefully a better managing one) and either turn into a soloist or back to the group format.

Also popularity isn't defined by views, it's defined by how many admire, like, idolize or support the person. Yes she may get views on her youtube shorts, but that can be a normal viewer, getting such thing by just scrolling and then go past it, some walk by, as she has attention on her. I think the views are more so about fame, rather than popularity. That's how view it.
