The user who made the thread questioned, "Oh man why are they doing that to a young kid?"
Meanwhile, AllKpop compiled the other users' comments on the website. Some suggested that Huening Bahiyyih was not shrugged away at all.
One user penned, "Don't say she's being bullied then the rest of the members will get malicious comments. Stop framing Huening to be a victim of bullying. I think the issue is that Huening is just staying passively in the corner like that."
Another claimed that the girl group members still feel awkward. Still, everyone noticed how the members proudly read comments about her being pretty. They also took care of her throughout the broadcast.
"I mean she got so many comments saying that her fans rigged the votes so she can be part of the group so do you think she would gain confidence just at the first V Live?" another asked.
