Boyband SB19 promotes OPM mixed with K-pop
Pinoy boy group SB19 is ready to showcase Pinoy music influenced by K-pop and other genres.
The local boyband--comprised of Sejun, Stell, Josh, Ken, and Justin--has gained confidence from their intensive training, which expanded for more than three years.
SB19 leader Sejun explains their group's image, which is a fusion of different genres, mostly OPM and K-pop.
During the group's press conference for their latest single “Go Up,” Sejun said, 'Yung genre po naming, P-pop [Pinoy pop] po.
“Gusto po namin na unahin po muna ang Pilipinas dahil ang goal po namin is makilala na merong ganitong talento ang mga Pilipino.
“Sana makilala po tayo hindi lang sa Pilipinas, pero globally na rin.”
He also mentioned, “Yung K-pop po, influence rin po siya ng J-pop and ng American pop.
“Sa mga kanta po namin, ang genre po na ginamit is Future House, which is ginagamit rin po sa Western countries.
“Ang karaniwang response kung bakit K-pop ang tunog namin is kasi po right now ang sikat sa buong mundo is K-pop--pero hindi lang nabibigyan ng pansin 'yung ibang bansa na same genre rin naman ginagawa.
“Bale po, ang prinu-promote po namin talaga dito is P-pop or OPM.
“Ang music po kasi universal language. Wala pong mayari ng certain genre, influenced lang po tayo ng iba't ibang cultures.”
Sejun's fellow member, Josh, added, “Naninibago po tayo because this is a new kind of thing.
“At gusto po naming mawala 'yung takot ng mga Pilipino na mag-try ng bago para po mag-evolve pa po 'yung music industry sa Philippines.
“Sana makilala po tayo sa ganito, na may singing and dancing.
“At may mga bagong genre po tayong pinapasok sa Pilipinas para in the future po marami na pong susunod na katulad sa 'min, na parang idol group, at sana makilala pa po tayo sa buong mundo.”
