Koreans React to OPM (Sexbomb, Viva Hotbabes, Streetboys) #18 | EL's Planet 

*English subtitles will be uploaded within the next 24 hours.* From May 6, 2021, we will now be on TikTok! Follow @elsplanet.ph to watch your favorite EL’s Planet videos in a shorter, and shareable format! 💜 *Information Given to Reactors:* *General Information* What you just watched are 3 popular Filipino “sing and dance” groups from the 90s to the early 2000s. Unlike groups coming from the US, UK, South Korea, and Japan that followed trendy global hip-hop influenced music, these “sing & dance” groups of the Philippines went for lighthearted novelty songs with catchy lyrics and underlying mature meanings. To this day, these songs are still enjoyed by people of all ages in the Philippines. Novelty songs - songs written as a piece of humor or comedy *Viva Hotbabes - Bulaklak* The Viva Hot Babes are a Filipino pop girl group composed of actresses and models, that debuted in 2003. Their debut single "Bulaklak" released was one of the most controversial and critically panned songs of the 2000s, due to its double meanings and underlying adult themes. During that same year, the Viva Hot Babes released the controversial "Bulaklak" music video, which was almost banned due to the song's message. Notable members of the group: Maui Taylor (Filipina Actress), Andrea del Rosario (Former Vice-Mayor of Quezon City, Philippines), and Katya Santos (Filipina Actress) *Streetboys - Boom Tiyaya* Debuting in 1993, Streetboys served as the pioneer dance group of ABS-CBN’s ASAP (A music show in the Philippines that still runs to this day). The Streetboys became a hit in the country when they released their single “Boom Tiyaya.” The group was set apart from their rivals UMD, and the Maneuvers (Other popular male groups at that time) by using stunts and acrobatics as a part of their choreography. Notable members include: Vhong Navarro and Jhong Hilario who are both actors and popular variety show hosts of It’s Showtime up to this day. *Sexbomb - Bakit Papa* The SexBomb Girls is an all-female celebrity sing-and-dance group in the Philippines. From mere background dancers in a popular variety show, they evolved into multimedia stars, with successful careers in singing, acting, and dancing. SexBomb Girls is hailed as "The Best-Selling Philippine Female Group of All Time." Their first studio album, Unang Putok (First Explosion) included the hit song "Bakit Papa?" which is an iconic Filipino novelty song enjoyed by Filipinos of all ages to this day together with their “Spaghetti Song.” The MV you watched was taken from their 2002 movie named after their song “Bakit Papa?” Notable members include: Rochelle Pangilinan (Actress), Sugar Mercado (TV/Variety Show Host), Jopay Paguia (Actress), Aira Bermudez (Actress)

In defense of Sexbombs' Bakit Papa', the “papa” in here does not literally mean [father] or [sugar daddy], it refers to the girl's boyfriend who has a strong body built and is good looking. Like how Koreans uses [oppa] to refer men not their older brother, some Filipina uses [papa] to refer a man who is a boyfriend material to them; especially tall, dark and handsome. Take for example Piolo Pascual, he's being called Papa P. Same goes for [mama]- I'm not going to explain further, just listen to one of D' Masculados' song. P.s. You all get so weirded out to Sexbomb's Bakit Papa but Viva Hot Babe's Bulaklak and Basketball were saying a lot about sex- I mentioned it since someone already said it.

The target audience of sexbomb dancers are the "masa" or the common public. With Filipino culture, it sells. But times have changed and we don't see those type of dance groups anymore yet the sexbomb dancers themselves are still known to many due to their awesome dance skills. They used to appear in the popular noontime variety show Eat Bulaga and oftentimes those sexbomb dancers would have a dance battle with their fellow dancers showcasing their skills.

the second song should be the hallmark of PPop .. the style, fashion, and the song sounds unique for a Filipino song

"Papa" in PH is like how koreans use oppa. Usually used for handsome and attractive guys, however more often heard from the gay community

Koreans who have studied in the PH really adapt to the Filipino English construction of sentences as well as the diction.

Generally, I think we don't really pay attention to the lyrics. Although we knew the lyrics back then, we didn't think about it so much. hahaha We even danced to these songs at school. That's the reason Kpop songs are popular here too. We just focus on the music and not the lyrics lol.

Just when you thought modern sing and dance groups like SB19 and MNL48 is being gaya-gaya, here are our classic Filipino groups to prove you wrong. Performing groups had been a part of our industry already even since then, stop denying it. It just died along the way and there's nothing wrong to revamp it!

Dapat yung Spageti live sa Myx ang next para magulat sila sa vocals ng Sexbomb HAHAHAHAHA

Take note that, in the 90's, sex was a popular theme in songs and even on tv shows (uh, remember "Sex and the City"?): "Let's Talk About Sex" (Salt N' Peppa) "2 Become 1" (Spice Girls) "I'll Make Love To You" (Boyz II Men) "I Wanna Sex You Up" (Color Me Badd) "Sexbomb" (Tom Jones) ...just to name a few.

The nostalgia with this songs is coming back

This only shows how green the Filipino novelty music writers and producers relating to this type of songs. This was viral decades ago. Always played in school programs, celebrations and community Fiestas.

Sana yung pinakitang video ng sexbomb dito yung sumayaw sumunod may rap part don 😁

Yung tipong hilig mo mga 'to nung bata ka pero nung narinig mo nung matanda ka na, mapapaisip ka bat ang mainstream ng ganitong lyrics. 😂

streetboys and sexbomb started as a dancer then emerge to sing and dance.in fact sreetboys are good in acrobatic dancing while sexbomb started as backup dancer in a noontime show eat bulaga while viva hot babes is handled by viva enertainment.

One of the lead dancers of Sexbomb Dancers is the sister of Michael Pangilinan, Rochelle Pangilinan. These groups became popular in the mid-90's but they were known as dance groups and not for their music. Every noontime show back then had their own girl dance group. Streetboys, on the other hand, became popular as they were touted as the rival of another popular all-male dance group called UMD (Universal Motion Dancers).

The music called Novelty genre ,ex SXB girls ,the best song I like frm them is VINUS SXB BSB Is my generation I mean PPOP is,already evolve but not many Pinoy not totaly support coz of concervative system .the novelty genre before is such double meaning

Hi EL.. since napanood na nila ung considered 1st generation of Ppop groups.. how about show them the 2nd generation? (XLR8, Pop Girls, Down to Mars) and for them to see the change of pop music in the Philippines

I've been in the Philippines ever since I was born... I know some of the songs but this is the first time I've seen those videos...

Sexbomb bakit papa is not literally mean sugar daddy hehe ..it is an experission they use on a tv game show pera o bayong. While bulaklak of viva hotbabes is the one more on sexualization on their song. Pilipino language have various meaning not every word literally the meaning.

Yung genre na yun , kung tutuusin mas nauna pa ang pilipinas kesa sa kpop kung grupo lang ang pag uusapan. That's it parang uso labg ang lahat lumilipas pero bumabalik din at may mga pagbabagong nagaganap. Changes are constant.

Looking back... Why did my mom let me dance a Sexbomb girls' song on a kindergarten talent show? She even tailored a red silk top and skirt for me. No cap! 😭 Thanks for the "throwback thursday" moment! I had fun HAHAHA

Maybe this groups are weird but it's iconic

Those were actually novelty songs.

It's so funny that they say the song and video is uncomfortable yet enjoy saying the "ahww!" 🤣

really interesting insight from Gul Gul at the end re: Korea's globalization vs the Philippines' localization. Never thought of it in that way.

I wish you will soon check out Hãy Trao Cho Anh by Sơn Tùng M-TP ft Snoop Dogg. Sơn Tung is the best singer from Vietnam.

Fun Fact: Did you know that SexBomb Girls was actually the best selling girl group in Asia for 10 consecutive years (1999- 2009) and was just dethroned by GIrls Generation and 2ne1 in the year 2010. #GetGetAww

Papa at that time I think is a kinda slang/ gay linggo of a respectable handsome men. Kinda like people used to call piolo pascual "papa P". As a child listening and playing to those songs, I used to think of it as innocent songs but as I grew up I found it was not so innocent after all. But I just think of it as innocent songs and omit the racy parts. As they used to say don't put a double meaning to the song so it stays innocent.

Sexbomb is a Ppop tho you know Ppop is really existing in the past but it didn't have that much attention than now

hello ! Can u react this song " Hãy Trao Cho Anh” by " Son Tung M-TP ft Snoop Dogg. that's a good song . hope you like it.

Mas fluent pa si Kuya Kyungmin mag tagalog kaysa sa akin

Mishy: We usually don't have songs like this from what I can remember. *me thinking the song "Expensive girl" who wrote by RM HAHA!! JK!

Kyungmin being more fluent in tagalog than me...🧍‍♀️

It's so innocent, it seem very innocent! bulaklak: bwahahahaha

Papa is not sugar daddy. In the early 2000s, papa meant 2 things: your literal, biological dad or your boyfriend. That's why Piolo Pascual was called "Papa P" because he what everyone wants as a "boyfriend".

I miss sandra mula noon pa 🥰🥰🥰 Sana po mag react din kayu sa bagong MV po ng bgyo. Hes into her po title.

I really Love your reaction !!! Please reaction to “HAY TRAO CHO ANH” by “SonTung M-TP ft Snoop Dogg” . That’s a great song. I subcribed ❤️

Sexbomb was originally the dancers in EatBulaga that became famous. "Bakit Papa" was a catchphrase on that show that accidentally became famous that is why they created a sonv out of it. Actuall,Bakit Papa refered to the contestant of that show if my memory serves me right. And that is how SEXBOMB career started.

Please react to "Hãy trao cho anh" by Sơn Tùng M-TP ft Snoop Dogg. That song is very catchy😘😘😘

Can you reaction to V-Pop ( vietnamese pop ) ... i want introduce for u about Son Tung M-TP and high recommend some songs of him such as : “Lac Troi” Or “Chay Ngay Di” or”Hay Trao Cho Anh” !!! Hope u will reaction to and enjoy it , thanks!

for me the novelty songs that made more impact were: - Otso Otso - Pamela Wan - Spagetti - Totoy Bibo - Itaktak Mo - Boom Tarak Tarak andami pa actually, but the early 2000's really was the era of these type of songs. everyone was just vibing to everything 🤟😎

I love to see more reaction with Sexbomb songs 😍

Vote SB19 as Top Social Artist on BBMAs. Okay let me clear this out, I'm not forcing anyone to vote for SB19 but if you want, thank you! If not then it's okay

They're so innocent with Bulaklak 😂

The melodies of the songs are close to our novelty songs but with a pop vibes that's why they were very popular that time even children liking them as they can be easily sung. We copied and danced the dance moves because we Filipinos like to challenge ourselves to dance popular difficult and controversial moves. We never took the message of the song much more the dance moves seriously because we just wanted to groove and make ourselves and everyone happy and get things lighter even it it seemingly doesn't make sense. We just want to be happy in everything and in every way we can.

Faith (mothers last name: Alvarez) Santiago that graduated full honors in MNL48 is FULL FILIPINA (they said looks Korean which is called "Original Filipina") has NO Chinese or Japanese blood at all, MISHY!

I'd been dancing Sexbomb's Bakit Papa when I was young. But I just found out now that the title isn't Bakit Pa Ba 🤣 i always sings it like : Bakit pa ba? Binawi mo pa .. This song wasn't an issue that time. Viva Hot Babes' 'Basketball' and 'Bulaklak' are.

Those times that Filipino boy and girls and bands were at its all high. It's so sad that all that glory days are gone I hope someday Ppop will find its way back.

Daming magagandang kanta ang streetboys and they even popular until now 😊

Sana makagawa rin kayo ng reaction video about sa new MV ng BGYO titled "he's into her 😊

Did u know that sexbomb is the most famous and best selling girl group in asia before 2ne1, wonder girls and etc. And also their albums got a lot of platinum so I would say Sexbomb paved the way so Kpop could run😌

Hello Gul Gul. Can you react to the most famous Vpop song name "Hay trao cho anh" by M-TP ft Snoop Dogg 🤗

The songs from viva hot babes and sexbomb girls always have double playful meaning that can only be understood by its naughty audience or listeners. Sometimes, the catch was either you find it enjoyable and fun or just ignore the other meaning and appreciate this masterpiece.

I was grade school when bulaklak released it was so popular it used in every program in school

Haha lol to the reaction of sexbomb🙈🤣🤣

Throwback OPM! Nice

1990’s ppops group dominates the philippine music industry.

A pure korean speaks taglish was so great!!!🥰🥰🥰

EL's Planet. I have a request 😁 Please make a korean reactions of the Filipino singers sing in Korean language. Maybe it's good😊❤️

@2:15 "bulaklak"- it's actually a children play song but it has an R-18 naughty meaning when you analyzed its context.

Hey el, can you make a korean reaction for gloc-9 music. Upuan, sirena and magda. This 3 songs have deep meanings..

SexBomb DID YOU KNOW? Filipino girl group, SexBomb was actually the best selling girl group in Asia for 11 consecutive years (1999 - 2009) until KPOP became mainstream. 2NE1 and Girls Generation were the first girl groups to break its long- lasting record in 2010.

There should be an episode with Gloc9 songs alone.(Sirena, Magda, Dungaw w/ Translated subs) now that is react-worthy!

Street boys are the best dancers until now.mayron Sila sa it's showtime .reunion NILA sa birthday ni bong Navarro .Ang gagaling pa Rin nila.panoorin nyo sa it's showtime

Hi, love your channel. Just want to spread love and support. stay safe everyone!

The song does not refers to sugar daddy. It refers to the boyfriends that leaves them for another girl.

I hope they informed the reactors what they meant by papa

Plss react to SB19 WHAT?

Laban o Bawi is a game portion of Eat Bulaga and sex bomb dancers are the main dancers of that variety show. There are other songs of sex bomb girls not only Laban(fight) o Bawi(backout/retreat).

Kindly have them react to: - On My Own by Lea Salonga - APL by The Black Eyed Peas - Bebot by The Black Eyed Peas

Hello els planet can you make reaction video about SB19' incoming song, BGYO Hes into her MV and BINI which is set to debut this june

"Is this supposed to be a sugar daddy song!" I died.... 😂😂😂

yung mga bata noon (na mga tita na ngayon haha) nangarap maging dancer dahil sa Sexbomb 😂 Di ko tlga alm meaning ng song nila dati pero nung tumanda na ko.... 🤯😂😂😂

90s talaga yung Filipino pop music, tayo talaga ang nag-pioneer. Pero napag-iwanan na ulit. But now, we're slowly coming back.

sexbomb songs were our childhood noontime songs HAHAHAHHAHAAHAHAH we dance this shit pag fiesta HAHHAAHAHAHAHA

Please try to watch XLR8, Down to Mars and Pop Girls

Yup, as a kid growing up in the Philippines, this was the reason why I didn't watch PH TV. I knew it already back then. If you wanna go down the rabbit hole, then this was the agenda to dumb down the public. Now, we're all watching this, all cringey and mind-blown that they actually allowed this on noontime shows for all to consume.

I really hope you will react to "Chạy Ngay Đi " by "Son Tung M-TP"

Please feature Chicser's song, Hello, I love you. It's a Filipino boy group, and one of the former member was Ranz Kyle.

SANDRA JUNGGGGGGGG❤️💙

very uso din kasi during the 90s yung mga sexy films in ph that's why these types of songs with sexual innuendos became very popular. plus, it's obviously catchy, people would just dance with it rather than criticize. no social media as well to inform.

if you want songs that have double meaning, there are three songs I recommend. Kahit Gaano Kalaki by Alynna, Nilunok Kong Lahat by Selina Sevilla, and Oops... Teka Lang by Ara Mina

Sexbomb lang malakas😍😍😍

I just only realized "bulaklak" is like a trot song for koreans 🤣 and most of 2000s pinoy music was like that

I enjoy this sir El.. it's cringe but in an entertaining way .. ♥️👌

Sexbombs is like MNL48 but MNL48 is more conservative right??

Sana mabasa nila yung mga comments dito para kahit papaano maintindihan nila ang meaning ng PAPA... 😅😅😅

Makes me remember JUMBO HOTDOG

Haha before laging nasa christmas party at birthdays kanta ng sexbomb at yung bulaklak.

KyungMin🤩

2:10 the girl with a blue shirt is an actress now

Pls React to Jumbo hotdog by Masculados

Can you please react to "Chạy Ngay Đi" by "Son Tung M-TP". That song is a catchy song

Sexual ba yung mga song? I think its about love not about S word

maganda din yung kanta ng VHB yung basketbol nakakatawa HAHAHAHA

Your editing improved a lot and it's so funny snjfnejxnr

The fact that I'm an 03 baby and all of this song is my childhood song😭🤧

Wow!! ang gagaling mag Tagalog hehe dang I don’t expect this sh$&@ good job my brother from another mother 🇰🇷🇰🇷🇵🇭🇵🇭

Kung ngayon kaya ipanuod to? Maisip kya nila flower ni jisoo este by jisoo?
