SB19, Proudly Pinoy

As a long time fan of Japan and Korean pop, it’s really only now that I feel like Filipinos finally have a legit pop group we can be proud of. SB19, made up of Sejun, Ken, Josh, Stell and Justin, may have been trained by a Korean entertainment company BUT – their being Pinoy shines through, without a doubt!

This specific performance which they did recently for a Philippine-Korean event (PhilKor Fest 2020) had me beaming with Pinoy pride. Maybe it’s the Philippine-inspired outfit (which I really liked by the way). Or Jose Rizal at the back (if only that photobomber building could be edited out) who I hope is equally proud. Or just seeing how SB19 has grown in just a year – the dance practice for Go Up was perfect but you could tell they were working hard in making sure everything was perfect. This time, they perform more naturally, but still retaining the precision in executing both dance steps and singing!

So yeah, really – I just wanted to congratulate SB19, not that my opinion matters given the gazillion of fans they already have, not just in the Philippines but from all over the globe! SB19 paved the way for PPOP (including on this blog). I know they will have more successes in the future and I’m looking forward to more songs and performances!
