However, fans were not satisfied and they want more to be done to protect the teenager.
Hence, they came up with the hashtag #WakeOneProtectBahiyyih, along with some while made use of use email templates created by BAHIYYIH FB UNION, the singer’s fanbase, to send direct messages to the company.
In the email, the group stated that the singer has been receiving “verbal hatred and defamation” especially from Japanese netizens, after she recently attended an event to support her brother, TXT’s Huening Kai.
