SB19 Opens Up About Their Difficult Journey | Toni Talks! Umm..hello!? Toni is great!!

[@janebangkok1]

This is the magic of SB19 that haters are missing. They have a good back stories that inspire. They are very authentic. They give you that energy that you want to protect them. Thats why they have many loyal fans. We develop a deep love for them. The boys remain humble to this day.

[@raybalicha8212]

True. They remain grounded to this day and have a soft spot for their loyal A'tin fans ❤😊❤

[@meimeimei49]

It still surprises me how many people think everything was handed to these boys on a silver platter, like they’re completely manufactured, rather than having clawed their way upwards and are incredibly involved in their craft. A part (not all) of the vitriol against them stems from that.

[@allaboutgee1841]

I actually think too that SB19 made the right decision to split from ShowBT. The reason is because we can really see that they have a different vision from the company. ShowBT being an events company wants to promote the collaboration of Philippine and S.Korean culture and that's their vision. But the boys, SB19, wants to promote Filipino Music worldwide and inspire Filipino Talents. They have different goals and aspirations so it would only clash in the long run had they stayed with the company. So I really think SB19 standing up on their own is the best decision for the road ahead. And yes, this is one of my most favorite SB19 interview.😊❤

[@rolandoamaro6320]

Isa din po yan sa nakikita ko..

[@narcissasibug3689]

Agree❤❤❤❤❤

[@janebangkok1]

Toni is an actress, singer and host. She is really a good interviewer because she listens. Most of her interviews are fantastic.

[@honeytonguedharpy]

You’re spot on with the ShowBT take. I believe that company was really an event staging/management business. They just went on to “develop” SB19 (and other talents later on) because even they recognised that they had something special in these guys. The company had no experience or real ties to the music industry, at least not in the Philippines. One of the founder’s did have that experience in Korea, so perhaps that’s why their first singles were recorded there. By the time Pagsibol came out, there was a marked difference in their music because the guys had more creative control of it-that’s one good thing the pandemic brought. Anyway, thanks again, Hurraira. Look at me watching your vids at the ungodly hour of 3:20 am. I wasn’t kidding when I said your vids have become a daily habit. Don’t let me go through withdrawals haha.

[@wanderingwonderer4294]

Feeling ko din kap wala naman intention ang ShowBT to mold them under Korean aesthetic and even sa ibang aspect. Naalala ko sabi noon ni Tatang Robin sa presscon nung may isang reporter na nagtatanong na bakit Korean yung producer nila or something like that if they are aiming to be proudly Pinoy. Sabi niya they've been wanting naman daw talaga to work with Filipino producer. Kaso wala daw may gusto at wala sila malapitan. And with regards dun sa aesthetic nila during rookie days na sinasabihan silang Korean wannabe, sinabi ni Josh during Esquire interview na he admits na at that time marami pa silang hindi alam gawin. Like kung paano magayos sa sarili. So ayun. Nakakalungkot na there are a lot of people who accuse or call them things without knowing the back story. Sabihin na natin may inexperience part sa ShowBT, pero a lot ng pintas sa kanila noon kung bakit ganito ganyan eh dahil naman sa lack of support din ng Filipino industry. I even remember there's this local clothing brand na nilapitan nila for sponsorship. Tinanggihan sila.

[@honeytonguedharpy]

You’re right. In a way, it was a gamble for the company as well. It all worked out in the end. Mahalima got and is getting (more please) what they worked so hard for. Inasmuch as I’d like to know more about why the guys decided to sever ties with ShowBT (yeah, I’m nosy like that 😛) it’s not relevant to their journey now.

[@wanderingwonderer4294]

@@honeytonguedharpy I have a gut feeling na creative difference talaga kaya sila umalis. I'm mean sure ShowBT cared for them pero baka hindi sila willing to " invest more " sa mga music na gusto ilabas ng Mahalima. Kung mapapansin mo kap highly budgeted naman talaga mga MVs nila ngayon even and concerts and tour. Although benefit of the doubt since under pa sa kanila yung What? MV. There's a chance pa din naman na they will flourish under them as a group. Pero when it comes to solo projects baka hindi. Yun naman din yung usually nagiging problema even with Kpop companies. But yeah, at the end of the day nakabuti din talaga yung pagalis nila at pagpigiling maging independent. Specially umalis na din naman si Tatang Robin. I mean nothing against Sir Charles Kim kasi hindi ako totally familiar sa kanya. Pero si Tatang Robin kasi yung eversince nakikita kong hands on sa kanila.

[@clarieberrychannel1819]

Ohh!!! We do feel exactly the same way that's why A'tin and SB19 are match made in heaven. Our love for each other is unexplainable but you know in your heart that you can't live without them and that you love them unconditionally. Same with SB19, they always say we are their backbone. A lot will not understand the bond that we have coz it is beyond words. Sometimes even if we dont say anything to them and them to us, we understand whats in our hearts. ONLY SB19xA'TIN will understand this kind of feeling. I am so glad that you are a part of us too! 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@manell59]

Oh my, this hits the mark. Thanks kaps. Sb19xA’tin is indeed special

[@eiskimo]

I feel the same way! I don't mind if they never knew me or remember me, I just want to support them and see them succeed in their goal. I even created a twitter account because of them for the first time in my fangirling life just so I can be updated and participate in any voting that they need. I feel like they are my sons even if we're just the same age lol it's hard to explain

[@maricarcalingo2356]

Toni G is a multi-media star in the PH. She’s an actress, singer and host. She really do good interviews.

[@K-tin]

I heard that originally they were trained to performed at events. It was only later when ShowBT saw how good they are that they started to be marketed as ppop group.

[@rosario_anaken]

Omg !❤❤❤❤❤❤ Exactly how i feel towards them, i feel like they’re my kids that i need to protect, i feel like a proud mom, sister friend. It’s a real love towards them. Watching their concert just to sing with them and to celebrate with them with their success. . Thank you so much for loving our mahalima

[@HurrairaJamal]

❤️❤️

[@mamavickyah7940]

this is one of my fav interviews of SB19. Ms. Toni really a good host in this. a little trivia: Ms. Toni is not just a very good actress. but she's also a very good singer.

[@ariesrobdiamond1794]

Many of us have the same feeling and thoughts Hurraira . When I was starting to stan them, i thought I was weird. They bring so much positive energy . I always smile and laugh whenever I watch them.

[@davidma4522]

I can’t believe it is only now that you’ve seen them talk about girls 🙈 they always get asked this question. There was even an interview where ken was asked “do you kiss on the first date?” to which he replied “Yes”. While Pablo was asked “Are you a good kisser?” To which he replied “Yes”. These guys are brave and ruthless 😭😂 which is fun, you won’t get these kind of conversations in Kpop idols

[@HurrairaJamal]

Hahaha love this, Pablo is such a fun personality 😂😂😂 you're so right KPOP can be odd with this sort of talk. I can already tell that PH is pretty normal with relationships and getting married etc. so hopefully one day we get to hear of their happily-ever-afters ❤️

[@davidma4522]

@@HurrairaJamal I’m really looking forward to whoever ends up with our stellberry ❤️ Btw! The interview I mentioned is “Fast Talk With Boy Abunda” you’ll understand it even w/o subs ❤️

[@janebangkok1]

Correct about ShowBT. Its a good thing they did not renew their contract anymore and set-up their own company under 1Z. Being self managed catapulted them to the path to greater success.

[@KeiHana143]

Masaya ako na nakikilala na kau worldwide. Before I watch them in KZbin I don't have any socmed...just watch them during my breaktime in work..so heartwarming that they reached this point of their success.

[@ChickensBarbie]

Toni is one of the prime interviewers in the country (she’s like our own Oprah) and dubbed as a Multimedia Star coz she can sing, dance, act, host, write a book, concert performer and even vlogging! She’s been doing this for almost 2 decades. She’s really professional and high caliber when it comes to her craft. She hosted big talk shows and tv competitions as well like Big Brother, The Voice of the Philippines, and among others.

[@thedapilar-pineda6239]

Hurraira, you mentioned that you're a deep and sensitive person and that's why I always enjoy watching your reaction videos. It's good for you to feel inspired listening to this interview and knowing more about SB19 and because of what you say, you're also paying the positivity forward. Yes, stay in the internet because we have to populate it with more positive people like you.

[@jarjarjarlego8611]

Regardless how many times i have watched this, i'm still loving it. This always reminds me of how i became a super fan❤

[@smallpotatoes6820]

20:08 It's actually very sweet for the boys and their fandom who apparently celebrate the day when this person tweeted about them. Even if the person wasn't really an SB19 fan, A'tin and SB19 themselves would remember the day every year.

[@HurrairaJamal]

So sweet ❤️❤️

[@yatzkiecasero9126]

This interview always made me cry EVERYTIME...Watched this tons of time but still feels the same way😢❤ Thank you for watching this 🥰🥰🥰

[@catlady_arts]

As usual Miss Hurraira is always on point. 🙌

[@Titatet]

They trust in each other's talent & capability. No crab mentality within the group, they build up each other❤️

[@pancakey636]

this is my most fav interview of SB19. second is the annyeongkorealive. i so want another Toni interview now that they are back from US. (at that time their dream is to perform in US as Josh said) I wanna know what is their new dream/goal, which dream country next?

[@etaw4506]

this is why SB19 build and established their own company now❤❤❤❤❤

[@msl8blo0m3r4]

Toni is really a good interviewer and there was a point when every show was hosted by her in ABS-CBN. And I like that she highlights members if they need highlighting.

[@kee0325]

❤️❤️❤️

[@r.a.3235]

I remember, there's an interview of Stell's mom (Tita Mylene) She said she remember when Stell came home that day when everyone quits and he's the only one left. Stell is so sad that night telling her "Ma, they all left, they all gone, I'm just the only one 😭" broke my heart.

[@HurrairaJamal]

😭😭😭 it hurts just thinking about it. I'm so glad it all worked out the way it did because who knows where they would have ended up 🤧

[@bebebubu0908]

Yes i requested this thank you hurraira😊😊i love them more after i watch this❤❤❤

[@jhexiebelle]

I love them. I've just discovered them for a couple of weeks now. Talent wise they remind me of Bigbang my ultimate fave, but as a Filipino, I feel extra love and proud of them because they are paving the way for OPM aka PPop. You have to watch their KwentO Juan interview. Its a more in depth interview

[@jujojuja]

I really love them genuinely. We are grateful for your love and support❤

[@manilyndiaz8737]

I agree 100% i feel exactly the same. I love them from a far but pure enough to hold on. Supporting them and happy to be part of our growing family.

[@yujeenie2010]

I like watching you. The way you deliver your thoughts and reaction is very calm and classy.

[@iflipover]

I’m not really into stanning artists. I mean I can always admire their work/music. Hearing the story of SB19 pulled me in to their world and fandom. I was esp touched about what Ken said that they did not do anything bad to people and there was also that Pablo said (in Cashual Chuck story) that if you can choose an action, ALWAYS choose KINDNESS. So same with you, i began to feel a familial connection to them and was suddenly wishing success for them. They’re like my children and I feel protective of them and want life to shine on them. I love your reaction, that you got a positive vibe. You also give off that positive energy when I watch you and also wish you the success you strive for.

[@jm-pl2zq]

Love your inputs and comments. Thank you for appreciating SB19.

[@letgod7808]

That made me cry (again) at the end of their interview!

[@thepinoychoppingboard1012]

With SB19 we don't feel that they are just our idols but more like people that are close to us that we've been with for so long. Their stories are so relatable, their music even proved that what they've been through is like what we've been through, at least in some point of our lives.

[@manell59]

They are just so precious, aren’t they?

[@mochiluv1453]

I always appreciate your insightful comments, Hurraira. You’re so sincere too. Been an A’TIN since the Go Up era. My heart is overflowing with pride for these men. I wish them continued success and global recognition. Thank you. 💙🇵🇭

[@manell59]

I just saw a vid of them singing acapella. One fan compiled it, it’s called Sb19 singing acapella. Truly a treat to the ears

[@kayedeloyas8304]

Haters gonna hate! Bashers hate what they don't like and get mad on things they don't understand. There was a point back then when Stell received too much bashing and hate comments that he eluded himself to everyone including his bandmates. Apparently the sunshine of the group became gloomy, he's always hiding behind his bandmates head bent down. Life left his eyes, all you'll see is sadness and pain. It was too painful for us A’Tin seeing him like that. From that moment we promised to do anything we can to protect him and the boys from those cynic, haters and abhorrent people whom they did nothing but show great patience, understanding and be humble towards them at all times. We're thankful that Stell is a very strong, resilient person , and have a strong faith in God that's why he was able to fight and overcome those very ugly phase of his life.

[@lloydjbvillegas]

GidkidDad [a yt channel] have said that: {in his words: every SB19 reactors be it genuinely loving them or just doing it for the clout} and also if I may add - every struggles, every hardship, every experiences good or bad that they encountered are all needed because it “feed the beast” in them. I couldn’t agree more. And that makes them who they are now. Too bad for the haters now, the boys have created so many foot-soldiers that’s been ready to protect them with all their might (me, included 🥰). Thanks always for reacting to the boys. I’ve watched it many times but i always excited to see how other would feel when it’s their turn to watch the interview and i loved your reactions as always! Thank you ❤

[@eiskimo]

Hi Hurraira, I'm wondering if you've seen their rappler interview after they've released PAGTATAG? I'm not sure but I think it's the only interview for this comeback where they really talked about entering their new era with 'PAGTATAG!' and what it’s like to be self-managed artists under their own company, 1Z Entertainment. It's where they performed Ilaw and Freedom too, I hope you can also watch that, it's english subbed titled "Rappler Live Jam: SB19"

[@revillosamichelle9051]

[@gaiaaoi1005]

After watching this for the nth time, i gotta say, everything is meant to be. They poured out their hearts and souls to give their best on their craft. They deserve every bit of success.

[@djjwill05]

Hurraira, I feel like you are a good person yourself. It would be nice if you and SB19 could meet. Wishful thinking. 💕🥰

[@Marialuz99113]

When I hear them talk about busking, I can’t help thinking about how they are almost starting all over again - guesting in LA and NY local shows, busking on Hollywood Blvd and Times Square. And they do this gladly and humbly. They are so grounded that they don’t mind starting from scratch all over again, weaving their magic and drawing more international A’Tin into the family that we are (or should be!) I’d also like to say I love that Hurraira - like a true A’Tin does and knows - feels as we do about these boys. She loves all 5 of them and sees the strengths each one has and brings to the group. I love that she is as protective about this group and wants to see them succeed as badly as I (for example) do. She is family to us and we should appreciate her so much for this!

I'm glad to have you in this family. As difficult as it is, please ignore the negative nancies. Do you baby boo.

[@rachellara9067]

Yes, finally! I am so glad that you're able to react on this. No matter how many times I watch this, it still makes me teary-eyed. Toni Gonzaga-Soriano is an actress/singer and she gives good interviews. She made the boys relaxed and asked relevant questions. ShowBT is basically an events company and I am sure the boys will be forever grateful for the opportunity and the training they had. But they didn't manage the group as well as they should, especially when Tatang Robin sold the company to Charles Kim. There were rumors of abuse and neglect and might be some reasons why they were discouraged and disheartened. Xi-Anne and some of the staff even snuck them out one day to go to Enchanted Kingdom to help motivate them. That's why carousels have a special place in their hearts. SB19 fought long and hard to get out of the company. I am glad they have a great support team to help them on this journey. During a Rappler interview, they finally admitted they are now self-managed and will someday handle other groups to manage. Pablo said it was very difficult to start 1Z Entertainment and stated that it seems that all they did at the onset was to attend endless meetings. But it's all worth it.

[@bebebubu0908]

I feel the same way i feel that they are my family,i will support them no matter what they dont need to know me but as long as they exist i will support them with all my strength and protect them like my younger brothers😊thank you so much hurraira for loving the boys😊

[@fushumang1716]

the bit where they are performing and serving in events, I think was before they debut and even before the final group was formed. I think it is a good experience for them to have that as now they have fans from all walks of life.

[@iflipover]

Yea, Toni is an actress. She was known for romantic comedies because she’s really funny. But what movie scene was referring to was from a movie called Four Sisters & A Wedding. Don’t know if it’s still on Netflix.

[@paceyofhousetargaryen3994]

[@hirayaeyra]

I thought the same about ShowBT. Yes they hone their talents but they marketed them wrongly. And I'm curious why they didn't put Pablo's name as composer/writer before (forgot the song name) they took action only when A'TIN called them out to give Pablo what he deserves. Maybe things like that continues if A'TIN didn't catch that up. They introduced SB19 as PPOP but when SB19 first comeback released the MV start in korean language and also end in korean that's why I think a lot of people criticize them for being wannabes that time. It's on Gento MV the last part with aliens it's like they mocking that line and those people who look down on them back then. But still thankful to ShowBT, there's no SB19 if they didn't hold any auditions and trainings. Just my own opinion..

I think they really started as entertainers only. There must be wrong about how they were marketed maybe because as a foreign company they wouldn't know how to break in the local music industry. But it was a good stepping stone and they did learn the discipline of training and open opprtunity for them. It was part of what they are now. Am just happy I discovered them too.

[@mavicpulmano6574]

When they were recently bashed again for not really receiving recognition from d likes of Grammy..VMA etc..I posted this in response : For me, it is similar to SELFWORTH..knowing it will make one formidable, bec no matter what issue or bashing is thrown, the person will remain unaffected and will just brush it off, wo the need to get validation from others to prove ones worth. Relating this to SB19 who I stan, im a fan Bec I know how good they are in their craft/field...seriously talented individuals (their good looks and humility are bonus) !! ..award or no award, recognition or no recognition in some highly regarded award giving bodies of the world, for me, WILL NOT invalidate the fact that they got what it takes to be in the pedestal some enjoy bec circumstances and the market were more favorable for them. Bottomline, for me, I don't need validation from entities who I may not be even sure if they have prejudices on their criteria of judging who Kars it to their list..that cuts the obviously great performers w great market potential when given the right exposure. I am simply contented and proud that I stan the right Ppop..the super talented SB19, and happy of their UNSTOPPABLE growing fandom..💙💙💙 our Mahalima
