SB19: Then and Now (Nowhere But Up)

[@RowenaT-y9i]

At their younger ages during their first media interview, SB 19 Boys defended themselves from ridicules, mocking, humiliations and more from media. But more painful was that these ignorant media people were our very own Filipino interviewers (shame on these Filipino ignorants!). SB 19 boys were so brave, well mannered, and they were very respectful in answering (despite the rudeness in the questions). SB 19 boys fought with dignity, courage and determination. And look at these boys now -- SB 19 proved that they are a FORCE to be RECOGNIZED. SB 19 will soar HIGHER and STRONGER than ever. Hail to our PPOP KINGS!

[@Martheresi2109]

This is a true story of NO PAIN NO GAIN = RESILIENCE.

[@ArciT-v4z]

It’s incredible how Sb19’s young minds were able to answer very challenging, ignorant, intimidating and humiliating questions in their first interviews..You can tell their grit, dedication and focus on their goal, their visions and dreams for the Filipino culture and musics. They’re so unselfish and it’s one of the main reasons that they became successful. I wish they also showed the faces of the interviewers, I am just curious what are these naysayers reactions now?

[@PacitaAnolin]

Sana nga naipakita yong mga face ng mga interviewer para dto para masamp👻👻👻😤😤😤

[@avatarroku7955]

people can try to bring them down, but we will keep them go up. gagawin namin lahat para gumawa ng landas para sa kanila. they deserve the world at hindi ako magsisisi at mapapahiya na itanghal sila sa lahat.

[@MsJC525]

SB19 is that 'once in a generation' group of artist whose impact will last for a long time. No matter how much forced hate is currently thrown at them, history will be very kind to these humble young men.

[@loganducusin6155]

Nagsumidhi na naman ang damdamin ko, hay lab namin kayo mahalima!

[@GabGab-u6k]

Dto mo mkkta kung anong pguugali at mindset meron ang SB19 simula noon at hangang ngayon wlang ngbago very authentic d pa showbz at mga pacute cute lang compared sa ibang group na gusto lang sumikat and as of now Sb19 pa dn ang continously ngppromote ng PPOP sa mundo. Nakka lungkot na sa pinas mas nkkta ang galing ng ibang lahi kesa sa kpwa pinoy na nka concentrate lang sa goodlooks pero kulang namn ng talent kya nga for yrs d wla mn lang nkapasok na OPM artst sa billboard and mag music chart sa 50 countries but only SB19. I hope Sb19 will continue to shine coz their talent and music deserved to be seen and heard around the World.❤.

[@introspecteurr]

Cry cry. Thank you for your toughness in that presscon, Josh!!! Grabe.

[@lovelyrhei7813]

Kya mahal n mahal ko ang SB19 dahil s pinagdaanan nila nkk iyak ung story of success grabe nkk inspired❤❤ despite of being famous they still remain humble❤ iloveyou all SB19 more blessings sainyong lima at sana alagaan nyo health nyo pra hnd malungkot ang ATIN❤

[@jingsy2794]

As creator of this video compilation on your channel, you need not say a word or narrate like you usually do, to show the rough journey our SB19 had to face on their own without any support from the giants of the industry. They were all unknowns, no connections, no resources… nothing! The SB19 journey is definitely an inspiring story.. worthy of an “underdog to a rockstar” movie. SB19 is an exceptional group of young artists who know how to create masterpieces. But factoring out their given talent and skill because these are common for many artists in the Philippines, they are still incomparable to other groups who are benefiting from SB19’s resilience and passion in fighting for their dreams. With SB19’s success in introducing a new genre, it became easier for the others who followed suit. So, it’s nice to see other groups thriving and being recognized, which only means SB19 is realizing their vision for Filipino music. Thank you for this video narrative so the newer fans (and even doubters) can see how SB19 literally toil their way up to where they are now, and will continue to aim for the global reach, while we A’Tin, are beaming with pride as we join them in their international journey.

[@zyrineofficial1367]

Hanggang sa Huli SB19 ❤ forever

[@TheKingsTV-t4s]

I been crying all the time will watching this short recaps of sb19....Masaya Ako dahil nakilala ko sila...and forever Akong maging A'TIN...

[@jorenegado9861]

Amazing group Kings of Ppop no questions at all

[@ARImz-k4n]

All of their maturity at a young age especially Josh and Pablo while answering all those disrespectful, distasteful, intimidating and challenging questions is admirable! ❤ And they remained true to their goal of Filipino music recognition globally! I just do not understand the hate. Instead of supporting them, some people continue to drag them down! They don’t realize that when SB19 made it big, all will follow and will be easier for other artists to be accepted globally because the way was already paved! I am fortunate that in this lifetime, I was able to witness & stan a great and true artist! I will continue to support them hanggang sa huli! ❤

[@emilpaguio-rb6rj]

dahil ke pablo kya ako ng search ng sb 19,nkita ko c pablo pano nya tinuruan ang knya tropa ni pablo,kya nevin nailabas ang galing dahil ke pinuno pablo❤

[@xyque1]

Sakin, unang nakilala ko si stell eh😅 sa totoo lang, dahil kay stell kaya ko nisearch ang sb19😊 hanggang humanga ako sa kanilang lima❤

[@dylansalvahe8783]

Jan ka talaga bibilib sa sb19. Dugo at pawis nila inangat ang pangalan nila. Sariling sikap. Wala sila malaking network sa likod nila para bigyan sila ng resources at marketing advantage. Hahah. Kaya ngayon mga hari na sila kase wala pwede magdikta sa kanila.

[@carmsags7458]

Inspiring trip down the memory lane. Great compilation of SB19's humble beginnings and where they are now. Makes me emotional looking back on their first interview how consistent they are up to now in terms of their vision, goals and identity. They exist to inspire people and to send message of hope through their music, promote Filipino culture and talent, to pursuit your dreams and not to give up hope. Seeing videos like this, even as a fan, makes me grounded. I understand there are some overprotective fans but sometimes it's making more harm than good. These young gentlemen have gone through a lot tested by time, we as fans should be secured of their capacity, talent and skills. No amount of comparison, money, charts or streams can measure the value they've put into the table, the growth they have made for themselves and the impact they brought to their listeners affected through their music. These should be the focus.

[@staceysanares4195]

Nadinig ko nanaman yung mga naginterview na tong mga acclang taga tabloid na to asan na ba mga yan nakakagigil. Salamat sa mahalima matatag ang loob nila.

[@rubybranja5427]

Thank you Pop Culture for this compilation. Naiiyak ako while watching this. Yung hardships at mga pangungutya na natanggap nila from the press until now sa iba pero puro blessings sa Mahalima ang kapalit. Congrats SB19 and looking forward for the SAW era

[@CMCM1006]

Until now, watching just the snippets of that first press con still makes me cry. I admire how mature they were in answering those rude questions. It's all water under the bridge now, but I still want to send a hug to their 2019 selves and let them know they did very well.

[@caletv3014]

Been crying while watching.. What an incredible journey our MAHALIMA.. You deserve our support ❤

[@Vesterica15]

Ang layo na natin mahalima pero may end goals pa?.. do the thing dito lng kaming A'tin through thick and thin. Happy new year pop culture ph more blessing to come Godbless

[@dabug09]

Im crying!! This is the first time I'm watching some clips from the initial press con. I can't bring myself to watch the entire video of the first press con because it makes me feel angry, frustrated, and sad all at once. They've truly transformed the industry! Thank you for persevering. I'm sorry for everything you had to go through at the start just to help people embrace PPOP but look how far you've all come. ❤ happy new year!! 🎉

[@dassi8444]

Nakita ko na naman to umiiyak na naman ako sa tuwa para sa kanila,napaka buti talaga ng diyos para sa mga taong dina down ng iba itataas ka niya.

[@aidamiranda4728]

SB19 , now called as Ppop king, Ppop icon , many awards , achievements

[@regiigu960]

Receipts receipts receipts!!that is what SB19 have in abundance..a receipts of their talents, success, worldwide recognition.so happy for them, they deserve everything and i'm not saying that as a fan but as an observer of real talent and hardwork. LETS GO SB19 2025, let's go PH!

[@jeannettelemq2997]

Wow what a journey of SB19....now they are the P POP ICONs

[@jampy3214]

The difference in questioning from that past interview to the present ones: They were now taken seriously. The press are now interested in what they do, in what their goals are. A lot of newer Ppop fans didn’t know the struggles of Ppop before and during SB19’s earlier time. Those type of questions from the press was the norm then. Not to mention the public perception and bullying from Pinoy netizens. If you see past comments from posts about SB19 when they were starting you’ll see how they were treated at that time. There are a lot of Ppop groups before SB19 but while I think they were talented enough their managements didn’t care about the quality of their output, mostly banking on their looks and the “kilig factor” which I myself disliked that time being also a fan of Kpop, it’s not up to par with what Kpop is producing. Then came SB19. When I first saw them in 2019 I was amazed by their dancing talent, it seems for the first time in Ppop history talent was the selling factor plus their songs are all original and new sound to OPM. Their success and the path they’ve taken has been an inspiration and guide for entertainment companies in building their own Ppop groups.

[@DebbieSoria-cp2db]

thank you .. for this compilation from then and now of MAHALIMA every achievement, small or big still achievement and to celebrate. Masasabi mo na their title as King's of PPOP and an Icon is real and organic STRONGER SB19XA'TIN 2025

[@tominesjerma580]

Wow!!! They really are the one who paved the way and deserved to received that PPOP ICON AWARD!!! You guys did a great job!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉😊

[@immamartian]

Thank you for this video! Aside from their music, I thoroughly enjoy watching most of their interviews, even that harsh first media con. You'll see how consistent they are with their goals, how humble they are as human beings, and how eloquent and genuine they are in answering questions. They're just built differently and are exceptional artists of this generation. I always say that I became a fan of SB19 for their music, but I became an A'tin for their personalities and humanity.

[@chvjhl3]

I have a deep FEELINGS OF JOY in my heart watching the achievements of SB19. Nilait noon TINITINGALA ngayon. So proud of you SB19 our Mahalima. More blessings, projects and concerts to come in this year 2025 and of course good health for SB19 members and 1Z staff. We will support you all the way. That's how we love SB19.

[@nenitabombase66]

Me too! I’m in awe of his perseverance. From rags to riches success story

[@Ma_Cai]

It's not surprising how sb19 became famous because everyone knows how great the group is; what's surprising is how they were loved, fought for and supported by A'tin. There are so many talented Filipinos, some have tried but failed. The difference between SB19 /A'TIN to other groups is that there is a gap between the group and the fans. It is an IDOL/FANS RELATIONSHIP. You won't feel that with SB19, what you will feel within the fandom is the relationship of a FAMILY. That is why the fandom name is A'TIN.. (AURUM and SB 9TIN).. hindi pwedeng paghiwalayin.

[@madenAlsola]

Sobrang panlalait nung umpisa but now kinain nila mga sinasabi nila sz mahalima

[@violetcastro1057]

They've come a long way. All their hard work and perseverance are paying off. Let's admit it, P-pop came to be because of SB19. They're the trailblazers and they have set such high standards that they're a tough act to follow.
