WHO IS SB19? Story Series Ep 1 - 3 [Cashual Chuck]!

[@CashualChuck]

Thank you, Melanie!

[@melaniereacts]

Omg I only just saw your comment. Thank YOU!!!! I have finished all episodes. Had to post the rest of the reactions on my patreon as I’m currently banned from posting on KZbin due to copyright 😭 hopefully will be back being able to post next week so will share them to KZbin then. But thank you for creating this story series! I learnt so much and you put them together so well. Incredible work ❤️

[@rosebaltimore1222]

I think Ken learned his back flip because he was a varsity player of Sepak Takraw when he was in high school. This sport is like a volleyball, except, the players are only using their feet, knees, chest, and head to touch the ball. So basically, you have to perform different aerial flips in order for your feet and knees to hit the ball while its in the air.

[@filomenar0906]

And he was the spiker which requires flexibility and aerial moves😊

[@lovelyrcf]

You can put "sobra" before or after. When it's used before a word, we add "ng" like "sobrang excited," and "sobrang fun." When used after a word, it's like a new sentence. Like "this is fun! Super!" "This is fun! Sobra!"

[@frostraven23]

This! Hope this gets noticed 🙏

[@user-cj6jd3xx9l]

Yes this one Melanie :)

[@dinasahagun4049]

Just answering your questions from the reaction: 1. They are all based in the Philippines. Also, they are not housed together. There was only a time when they did live together because they were doing multiple concerts and events. And the Korean owned company was a small and primarily an events entertainment company. They only visited Korea a few times for events and engagements. Most events were in the Philippines. 2. Filipinos are very accepting of the LGBTQ+ community. From countries I have experienced they are the most accepting. Filipinos are not racist. I think, which is sad is that Filipinos are more critical of our own than others. The press con was more trying to break them to get some buzz. 3. Best way to say goodbye is to say "SALAMAT" which means thank you. Hope you get to discover more of SB19 and you'll appreciate why fans love them. Their individual stories are truly an eye opener which anyone can relate to. Credit to Cashual Chuck that you get to know a little more about the boys!

[@teresitasuiza9276]

They are in the Philippines the whole time but went to South Korea from time to time to record their single. They catered to Filipinos but did some Korean antics because the Filipinos love the Korean artists.

[@Midnight_Coffee]

Aurum is the name of their fandom when there was no official name yet. Stell or Pablo, I forgot which, said that they used to know each and every name of their fans because it was such a small group and they were the people who would always show up if they have guesting or events. That is why they incorporated Aurum in the official fandom name because they are so thankful to these handful of people who believed in them.

[@abnkkbsnplq5826]

Is Lyra included in Aurum? She played a big role in letting the social media know about their talents and existence if I may say. To Lyra, wherever you are you're very well appreciated. 🙏

[@user-cj6jd3xx9l]

They lived and trained in the Philippines the whole time. Their company, ShowBT Philippines, is the Philippine subsidiary of the SBT Group..meaning they were managed by the Philippine branch of this Korean company in the Philippines. They launched as a Filipino group in the Philippines for the Filipino audience. They only went to Korea to record songs and perform in events, etc but not to train.

[@teofilojr.arches4208]

Really Inspiring story..SB19❤🇵🇭 mabuhay kayo!👍👏👏

[@jacquelynsalvador]

Their a monsters with music video even live, the vocals is pure voice and pure talent

[@josediazjr9922]

The best way to know them is when they themselves tell their own stories in a series of podcasts with Kwentong Juan and the interview with Toni Gonzaga with Toni Talk. Good luck 🎉

[@venithomas201]

Ken was an athlete( whilst being an Architecture student ) Justin is a graduate of Multi media arts that counts for the editing and visual creativity, Stell has the voice of a stage performer, Josh is the attitude guy and rapper, and Pablo is a graduate of A. B. English( plus credits in Accounting) that honed his poetry in songwriting. These guys are NOT dufuses, they may not look typical of popgroups these days, but they got brain's and voices that bursting out at the seams. By the time they get tired of performing they can very well be music producers themselves Support our boys!!

[@yuridgb261]

I am not a fan, but they are so gifted and talented...

I’m loving this journey 🥰❤️

[@michaelamickisch0594]

Everytime I see their story especially how they bullied stell in that interview it makes me cried 💔 that's why I'm so proud of them all their sacrifices and hard work already paid off. ❤💙

[@MelanieJayYpil]

They cried after that first ever interview on their debut, backstage. I can't imagine how they handled it very well. But as they say the more you are pulled down the more, you'll be lifted. The boys truly deserve what they have achieved now. Thanks Melanie for digging deeper to know the boys! We appreciate it! sending love! ;)

Hi Melanie. Fellow Aussie here again.Thanks for another authentic reaction. SB19 interviews with The Juans (another group who are great mates with SB19 - I suggest you listen to their song “Back Home” - beautiful), and Zack Sang interviews will give you a bit more in-depth view. Thanks for reacting to Cashual Chuck stuff - he’s put his heart and soul into letting us know about SB19.

Thanks for the recommendation! I’ll check it out. Nice to meet fellow Aussies 😍

Toni talks and Kwento juan's interviews are your best source of in-depth information on both their individual/ personal and group stories/struggles.

Mahal = means Love ; also means Expensive Gusto = means "Love or like" Kita= means as You(referring to a person in front of you); also means "see" (pronounce differently) Kayo= being use for plural form(2 or more persons) ex. Mahal kita = I Love You Mahal ko kayo = I Love you (Ako/Ko=means "I") Gusto kita= I Like You Gusto ko kayo = I Like you all.

[@kalakoh2196]

And to add: When referring to an object, you use the term "gusto". And "that" would refer to something you're not holding or something not near you so "I love that" would be "Gusto ko YAN". "This" = ito or 'to so "I love this" would be "Gusto ko 'to"

[@KiNubLee]

Sepak Takraw is an ancient Malay sport that played by Philippines and Malaysia historically. Now it is breaking in the world stage. You gotta see him play it. You'll be amazed...Cheers!

[@smallpotatoes6820]

29:38 The Philippines is pretty conservative. TBH, this media panel shocked me (as a Filipino) because I've always seen media people as a respectful bunch. I've never seen other Filipino artists debuting with such a hostile questioning before which only made me think that the media as a whole at that time was very resistant of having boy groups created under Korean guidance. The automatic reaction was they were copycats to KPOP. To this day, PPOP still has that stigma in the country.

[@johnjaro]

Generally, Filipinos are more accepting of gays and lesbians.What really offend Filipinos are rude people.

[@530MAIDU]

Sad..for the many great Ppop groups 😢💔. I seen the demographic no# for just Manila and to only have very few supporters. 🙆🏻‍♀️❤️‍🔥🇺🇸

[@smallpotatoes6820]

@@530MAIDU Which makes it more admirable for SB19 to start breaking through past the PPOP community and they continue to gain momentum despite people's narrow-mindedness. It's now hard to deny that they have such a strong following in the country and overseas. Fr that debut interview to now being backed by one of the main TV networks and a popular news org, they've really come a long way.

[@purpleapple6]

Showbiz reporters have always been rude to create click bait articles

[@janinemontano3545]

true☹️☹️

[@positivebreadtv6235]

To answer some of your questions (been an A'tin since 2020): 23:17 - They were Kpop influenced and was initially trying to appeal to those who like Kpop because of how big the industry is. This was their entry point/strategy that's why Get In The Zone sounds KPop compared to their current music. And being with a Korean agency, most of their music production, if not from Pablo, were from Korean producers because the company doesn't know any local (Filipino) producers who'd take them in. While we did have PPop, it wasn't as robust as JPop or KPop and SB19 wanted to infuse more of our culture to our current Pop music. They were the ones who actually started to label the genre PPop, it was just plain Pop under OPM (Original Pilipino/Pinoy Music).And even when they got viral, there was still a massive resistance from the masses from calling it PPop and even labelled them copycats. But personally, I saw and believed in their vision so I supported them early on. In Ikalawang Yugto (Second Chapter), introducing Pagsibol, that's when they started to shed their KPop influence and started producing with Filipino producers with songs like What? and MAPA. 25:00 - Because their music was produced in Korea, they have to go to Korea to record. But they mainly trained here in the Philippines. 30:00 - Filipinos in general acknowledges gender fluidity and most are accepting. The journalist who was asking is actually gay. I believe he was a tabloid reporter that's why maybe he asks like that but still, it made us so mad after we watched this after they went viral and vowed to never let the boys experience something like this again. They were still so professional. 37:27 - Mahal (Love) Kita (You). But there are other meanings for mahal and kita in tagalog. Mahal also means expensive, and kita (key'tuh) also means see. So phrases like kita kita (I see you) and mahal mag mahal (to love is expensive) exists in our language. Crazy huh? For "I love that" as an expression, we use "gusto ko yan" as translation. Gusto=like, ko=me, yan=that(item) or yon=that(situation) or siya (pronounced as sha)=him/her. We don't use "mahal' in that context because we usually use that pertaining to deep love in the context of relationships. We do say "Mahal ko yan" but it's a deeper meaning of I love that. Ok this is such a long comment. LOL!

[@melaniereacts]

Omg this comment was amazing! Thank you 😍

[@joyorquillas6881]

Wow! Love your bisaya pronounciation its on point also the tagalog,impressive Miss Melanie,gihigugma ka namo-we love you❤❤❤

[@capricornia_2994]

No one taught Ken to do flips. It’s a typical hang out sessions for kids especially on the country side to learn anything. They learn it themselves like acrobat, swimming, dancing, singing etc. They must have just done it on a beach or grassy soft soil. I grew up like that too but I just watch on the side. Those fearless kids like Ken is one of the example. We don’t really have classes like that in the countryside and if we do, we can’t afford it, so we learn it ourselves. Ken was a varsity player for Sepak Takraw before.(its like kick volleyball) his position was a spiker (which requires acrobatic skills) that must be the reason why he jump so high. I have seen his clips doing some sports like table tennis, volleyball, basketball etc and he looks like a pro in it. This man can do everything. Hard not to fall in love. And I am very happy and impressed to know that you are gymnast. Casual chuck also made a documentary about Ken’s story. You should check it out too

[@wommieesss.]

I got to experience their THE ZONE concert last 2019 with my sister (she forced me to come) and it was held for free. I didn't really know them at that time but I immediately fell in love with their amazing talents and performances. They're so funny and entertaining to watch.

[@gaiaaoi1005]

It doesn't matter how many times i have watched Casual Chuck series, it always make me emotional and proud of #SB19. Hardwork and Talent makes all the difference. I believe they deserve alot, world recognition for a world class group. ❤ Thank you for appreciating them. ❤

[@doysters]

sobra is like an adverb... so we usually use it before the verb... eg sobrang excited ako.

[@melaniereacts]

Ahhh ok!!! Salamat po 😮‍💨

[@user-zz3qk6op3r]

Also, sobra as an adverb have -ng at the end. For example: sobrang tamad (very lazy), sobrang ganda (very beautiful), sobrang galing (very amazing).

[@thepinoychoppingboard1012]

If ever you decide to watch the interview, you'll see how eloquent and humble these guys are. Despite the rudeness of the press they answered them with utmost respect and precises answers. About Aurum, it was the unofficial fans of SB19 when they were still starting and struggling with their career. And i consider myself as Aurum as well since I became a fan since December of 2018, Tilaluha era.

[@melaniereacts]

Yeah I take my hat off to the boys, they kept their composure in the scenes I saw. But wow my blood would be boiling 😭

[@thepinoychoppingboard1012]

​@@melaniereacts oh we all did hit the boiling point just hearing the annoying voice of that reporter. Wait til you watch the whole interview, you might breathe fire. Thank goodness we're not there. 😅

[@xeanluxcrille6847]

34:40 It IS ACTING. Yes, our boys are actually also very very VERY convincing actors if they're given the roles they want. Few fans know about it, but that fighting clip was actually a promo Christmas video. You should watch it. Pablo and Ken were so convincing in their fighting scene that the others felt really worried if it had something real beneath it (because obviously that's not how these two are in real life). But no, Ken is overall a very chill person that you cannot actually make him angry even if you wanted, and Pablo cringes at the mere thought of being too egoistic and fighting. Despite both of them wanting to look angsty in every which way possible, they're babies at heart.

[@ericavivienson3717]

Thank you for supporting our mahalima, SB19 is not a ordinary group but their music inspires alot of people try to react their tagalog song with english translation you will understand their songs deeply and behid ghe meaning of their songs❤❤❤

[@carolabungin2012]

You can put "sobra" which functions as an adverb of intensity in either ways: In front of the adjective, but you have to add "ng" like: sobrang excited, sobrang happy, sobrang sad etc. After the adjective and a pronoun (ako-me) "Happy ako, sobra! Excited ako, sobra!" and so on. Thanks a lot for the RV.😘

[@merzkiss]

cashual chuck also has his individual stories of the boys(pls check it out).. thank you so much (daghang salamat) for reacting agin for our mahalima.. ken is a varisty player in his school days table tennis and Sepak Takraw which requiers kick stunts for his position as a spiker, he also plays volleyball and also good in baskterball..an athletic one and a jack of all trades in one.. Gihigugma pud ka namo ( we also love you) amping kanunay (always take care) ❤

[@3yes0ny0u]

Ken was a Sepak Takraw player. It's like foot volleyball but with badminton high nets and using a weaved rattan ball. And he was the spiker. Spikere are only allowed to use their feet to get the ball over the net and score points. The strongest spike is basically hitting the ball mid flip with your feet. Imo, takraw players need to be half-cat to excel. Because they need speed, agility and the ability to pounce and seemingly fly with those flips.

[@sumakwelvictoria5635]

SB19 has gone through so much suffering mentally, emotionally and physically! Literally hell in disguise. Keep going. Don't ever stop. The one's crying inside now are your haters & bashers. I love that. Mahal ko yan. Aurum? Latin for gold? No wonder Gento was made.

[@ellynthegreat2023]

No, you are so right about that reaction, Melanie. Those questions in the press conference clearly shows profesional journalism is long dead in our country.

[@allenemartinmarquez966]

Humbling.... I did not know this group just this 2023.. Inspiring new gen of artist.😊

[@Jedi_Master_Pikachu]

Yes, "Pinoy" means "Filipino". It's basically just a casual, non-formal way of referring to anyone of Filipino descent or to the cultures of the Philippines in general. I already mentioned this term before in one of my previous comments to your videos when I brought up Andrew E as being the "Godfather of Pinoy rap".

[@terrence5733]

Sad to say, some Filipinos have Crab Mentality. When I watched these videos, I was really ashamed to see Filipinos throwing hate at these kids. At first, I was not a fan of SB19, but I am a fan of a hard worker. Eventually, I became an avid fan. I'm happy to see them getting all the acknowledgment and success that they deserve. If Filipino can support KPOP at some point, why not show love and support to our very own SB19? Who's vision is to help other Filipino artists to be recognized worldwide and to raise our industry.

Sobra on its own means "too much". Put before a word, and adding "ng" becomes an adjective. Sobrang ganda means too beautiful.. put after but w/o "ng" means too much. Ganda sobra also means same.

[@K-tin]

love how you used "sobra" very good :) "kita" is you; mahal is more for love towards a person or something really valuable; if you want to say i love/like that, I think you can use "gusto" for like or love; "gusto ko yun" "i like that"

[@chattcedric6321]

Thanks Melanie for being a SB19 Fan and you can say to them "MAHALIMA", a Tagalog Acronym for "MAHAL" which means LOVE and "LIMA" means FIVE. BTW, "PINOY" is a Tagalog Slang for PILIPINO. And PINAY for PILIPINA.

[@halfrice]

I say this everytime someone wants to learn tagalog, it is a very hard language especially for a tagalog speaker to teach (without expertise of course). Nevertheless, I am so touched how you are now even eager to learn the language, it just shows how much of an impact SB19 has to people. I wanted to answer some of your questions but if someone else can explain it well, everyone is welcome! 0:30 You can use "sobra" both before or after an adverb/adjective but if you use "sobra" before a word you usually have to add "-ng" at the end like "sobrang excited" 1:15 I don't know bisaya that much but "inday" is pronounced with a short "a" vowel sound like how "day" sounds in diagonal (dayagonal) or dial (dayal). Lol. Don't know how to explain it well. 1:46 I think "taka" is like "kita" is a combined pronoun for "I/me" and "you" (singular form). "gayod" is certainly or truly 23:11 As far as I know, they were targeting the filipino audience not the korean audience. Although at the beginning of their career, they were following the korean way of promoting themselves because they are under a korean company. This was actually sad because they were trying to prove that they are a filipino band and are for the filipinos which is different from what the media/haters were accusing them that they are too "kpop" or korean sounding. 25:04 I don't know if they lived in Seoul/Korea for a long time. From what I know, they were going back and forth. They know basic korean (please correct me if I'm wrong) because of that, from learning korean songs during their training and of course being kpop fans themselves. 30:04 Philippines is a very religious country but I must say, being religious doesn't mean being kind or respectful to all human beings. But some Filipino media people are always accusing a lot of filipino artists as gay or closet gay. Even when most of the people in the entertainment industry (especially those working off camera) are gay. I don't even know why they are making this an issue! Anyway, although the LGBT community in the Philippines are very vocal and have a strong presence in the country, there are still people like this who are very rude which is, I think, like everyone else in the world. 37:14 "Mahal" means love while "kita" is a combined pronoun for "I/me" and "you" (singular form). "I" in tagalog is "Ako" or "ko" while "you" is "ikaw" or "ka" (in singular form). If you want to say "I love that", you can say "Gusto ko yan". "Gusto" means "like" while "yan" is "that". 59:42 Here when you say "Mahal kita/Mahal kita sobra" it's like you're saying I love you to a single person. When you want to say "I love you all" ("you" is in plural form) you have to say "Mahal ko kayo" where "kayo" is "you" in plural form. 1:00:09 "Goodbye" can be said in mulltiple forms. You can say it informally as "Babay!" (Bye bye!) or "Kitakits" (See you!) This was long but I hope it helps! Please correct me if I'm wrong. :) Also, I suggest you watch the ToniTalks interview and their interview with The Juans "KwentoJuan". I think that talks more about their individual stories :)

[@grazy_ness]

They were bullied by the local media in the past. They were called ugly and was judged,saying that they won't succeed.

[@maggieeugenio9848]

Those criticism made them more stronger to cling on with their dreams to be successful. And as Ken puts it only success can kill their bashers.

[@RahNaarra]

Wow! You're learning Tagalog and Visayan dialect very kaayo! Congratulations!!! About the media press interviews, that's one basis of facing challenges which are far more worse than that of what is in this SB19 Story. But then again, SB19 made their way and social media people accepted them as who SB19 is. SB19 is simply they are: PPOP KINGS! and it won't be change anymore. They are etched in the face of Entertainment and Music History!

Aw thanks for watching! It’s so fun getting to know these boys 🥰

[@RET05]

"Sobra"(very/over the top) is an exaggerated word that we use, u can use it before or after .. if used before a word u can add "ng" it will become "sobrang" like "sobrang ganda" (very beautiful) or just "ganda sobra" which still have the same meaning.. If u want to know about how the boys start their journey, I recommend u watch "Toni Talks with SB19" that interview inspired me a lot... Thank u for getting time to know the boys, Have a nice day, and welcome to A'tin fandom ☺️☺️ I'm from stellberry farm 🍓, Wyat??

Cashual Chuck also did also mini-doco of the individual members.

[@r.rodora]

After learning more about them, I'm definitely sure you will love them even more. ❤️😘

[@Mahalimakoo]

yes , you can use '' sobra'' before or after the word. depending on your context.. '' i love you so much'' gihigugma taka'' .its so fun to watch that you are learning Filipino and other Filipino dialect.

[@keeperoviz5554]

Yeah sobra happy, sobra excited are correct but if you wanna do it properly you add -ng to it, so: Sobrang Happy, Sobrang Excited. Sobrang Mahal Kita isn't actually used and Mahal Kita Sobra is valid but if you want to convey the same feeling you just go Mahal Na Mahal Kita, basically mean the same thing and it's used more.

Still this makes me cry.... and proud at the same time for their love, passion and strength in their journey to success. #SB19 #MAHALIMA #SB19xATIN Hanggang Sa Huli SLMT. Mahal is love, expensive You is ikaw I is ako, me

[@carleenwho]

You can use Sobra(very) before or after. But I use sobra after if its an exclamation after a comma. Like "ang sarap, sobra!" For "it's very delicious!. You can also say "sobrang sarap"

Aurum is the first name of the fandom. Aurum means "gold" (chemical symbol of gold is Au).

From what I can tell -- or pieced together from many videos and interviews -- they must've started the training days with their Korean company in 2015/2016. They had no salaries but had a small allowance that was only enough for either food or transportation (not both). Their initial songs were written by Pablo and produced and recorded in Seoul. It seems Tatang Robin wasn't gaining much traction in the Philippines but he still had some clout and connections in Korea. Pablo studied Korean and actually found out about the auditions at ShowBT because his Korean language teacher told him about it. He doesn't speak it fluently but is said to be confident enough with it -- he wrote a rap song in Korean (plus English). Audience: They were catering to both Filipinos and Koreans at first. You have to realise though that Filipinos started lapping up Kpop and Kdrama then (and I guess even now). The Korean gestures and aegyo the boys were using were familiar ones to Filipinos.
