After several years as trainees under\u00a0ShowBT Philippines<\/a>, SB19 debuted in 2018 with the single “Tilaluha”. They received little attention from the public until the video of their dance rehearsal for their song “Go Up” went viral in late 2019. This led them to strategically use social media to expand their reach and popularity as well as increase their fandom.

They became the first Southeast Asian act to be nominated on the\u00a0Billboard<\/em>\u00a0Music Awards<\/a>,\u00a0and the first Southeast Asian act to make an appearance in the top 10 of the\u00a0Billboard<\/em>\u00a0Social 50<\/a>.\u00a0For their significant contributions in pioneering\u00a0Philippine pop music<\/a>\u00a0to the global scene, SB19 has been dubbed the “Kings of P-pop” by the public and various media.\u00a0The group promotes its music as part of\u00a0Pinoy pop<\/a>, a popular sub-genre of\u00a0Original Pilipino Music<\/a>.

The letters in the group’s name were taken from the initials of their former Korean management company, ShowBT. The number 19 is derived from the\u00a0country calling codes<\/a>\u00a0of South Korea\u00a0(+82)<\/a>\u00a0and of the Philippines\u00a0(+63)<\/a>– the difference of 82 and 63, and the sum of the digits (8 + 2 + 6 + 3). It symbolized the collaboration of the two countries in the formation of the group.\u00a0The members themselves, however, used the phrase “Sound Break”\u2014for the goal to “break into the music scene”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2018\u20132020: Formation and first album<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In 2016,\u00a0ShowBT Philippines<\/a>, a subsidiary of the Korean company ShowBT Group, conducted a talent search for performers.\u00a0CEO Seong Han “Robin” Geong had established offices in the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam with the aim of localizing\u00a0K-pop<\/a>\u00a0in other Asian countries.\u00a0He initiated forming a Filipino\u00a0boy band<\/a>\u00a0from their trainees after observing that Philippines had a considerable K-pop\u00a0fandom<\/a>, replacing the original idea of making them perform during company events.

The candidates went through a difficult\u00a0South Korean<\/a>-inspired training camp. They would constantly practice singing and dancing. Physical training and “personality development” were also part of the regimen. ShowBT held regular evaluations, and trainees who were judged inadequate were sent home, until the final seven members were chosen.

The boy band training continued with over-nine-hour work days, which eventually caused their resolve to wither under pressure. Of the seven members,\u00a0Stell<\/a>\u00a0remained with ShowBT, three quit, and\u00a0Pablo<\/a>,\u00a0Josh<\/a>, and\u00a0Justin<\/a>\u00a0left but changed their minds laters.\u00a0Ken<\/a>, a previous candidate, also joined the group. These five would become the current members of SB19.[12]<\/a><\/sup>\u00a0Pablo\u2014initially using the stage name Sejun\u2014is the band’s leader.
