SB19 and the rise of P-pop music

SB19 will be the first Filipino group to hold a two-night concert at the Philippine Arena, the largest indoor arena in the world, when they kick off their Simula at Wakas world tour on May 31. The P-pop kings have built a strong fan base called A’TIN, which is composed not just of Filipinos but also of their growing international fans from Japan, Taiwan, Indonesia, the United States, and more countries. The fandom has transcended generational divides, with mothers, grandmothers, and fanboys joining young women in supporting the hitmakers behind “MAPA” and “GENTO.”

In this episode of Thought Bubbles, three proud A’TIN share their personal stories of discovering SB19, discuss what they think are the secrets to their success, and reflect on the continuing rise of P-pop and what this means for the Philippines.

This episode is produced by Bubbles Magpayo and engineered by Anthony Tobias. Jaemark Tordecilla is our editor-at-large.
