SB19 | WYAT (Where Ya At), Bazinga, Touring America, Creative Process & More 

Thank you Zach! Can't wait to watch

That iconic line "Keep the hate coming" -Ken He's usually silent but he always has iconic reply.

Regardless of being a Filipino, I am encouraging all the South East Asians to support sb19.

SB19 is very lucky to have Pablo as a leader. He has depth, intelligence and strong drive...

Went to their concert here in the Bay Area. Impressive young men!

"It's okay to make mistake, but don't!" - John Paulo (Pablo) Nase 2022 SB19 try to make a good impression to other people and A'tin family are also trying to make a good impression to casuals. Thank you so much Zach Sang Show for this opportunity to our Mahalima SB19. I just want to say this five magnificent people had gone through so much but then again they make a great impact to all of us and inspire us on many things in life. To our A'tin family never give up and make your faith even more stronger just like our Mahalima. We're so proud of you SB19 keep shining our diamonds!

Pablo thinks sb19 is not the best ppop artists but for me they are because they are the embodiment of pure filipino features, talents, and attitudes . So proud of these guys for making ppop known to the world and most of all so proud of my bias, pablo, for being a genius filipino composer❤

Pablo is sooo well-versed. Goes to show that Filipinos are good at communicating

Their discipline and love to their craft is really amazing ang impressive, just remember what Pablo said during or every performances " i'ts ok to make mistakes but don't" 😅

*there's nothing more satisfying than seeing SB19 on their way to gaining a foothold in the global music scene through lots of hard work, great music, and an authentic commitment to promoting Filipino music and culture. if anyone deserves this international stardom it's SB19. five young men dedicated to their craft who met while trying to make it in the Philippine music industry. no connections, no access to help or hand-outs. it is an honor to be their fan and to see them slowly working their way up. i hope i will live long enough to see them become successfully recognized global music artists. thank you so much zach sang for this insightful interview.*

Pablo is very articulate with his answers, you can tell he's a smart kid

Pablo speaks brightness and intelligence here

Finally a group who doesn't need an interpreter.. they're really good in interviews.

Pablo: Why us? Let me answer that for you pinuno.. There are so many reasons but these are on top of my head 1. Each and everyone of you are not just talented individuals but we can also see how passionate you all are with your craft. Very hands-on with your work 2. You guys truly represent the Filipino people -- resilient, hard-working, warm & welcoming, family-oriented and great LIVE vocalist/singers! 3. You are all very generous to your fans, maybe thats also the reason why A'tin are very understanding when it comes your need for personal time and privacy. 4. You are humble enough to admit that there will always be room for improvement and you always strive to outdo your last performance. 5. You strive to always choose to be kind -- and ask your fans to do the same.

Ang Galing ni Pablo sumagot

Pablo : "It's OK to make mistake" "But don't! " Was spectacular iconic line🤣

That's our SB19. They deserve the world.

Whenever I heard the name "Lyra" im really emotional, to Lyra, we are forever greatful..thank you is not enough, the boys did their best but you are the one of the way why they were able to make it,hope to see you together with the SB19

Pablo is very articulate

Poblo is really a Leader he answered all the questions and explained clearly, well done guys proud of you fr. London ❤

*the way they are prideful of their being Filipino and the way they never muted their Filipino identity as they try to introduce opm to the global music scene...AUTHENTICITY, this is why we love SB19.* *P. S. if you look into the context and entirety of my comment would you take the word prideful as something negative? i deliberately did not use the phrase "proud of being Filipino" because i believe that SB19 are BEYOND proud of their roots, they are prideful not because they are arrogant, hindi po, prideful po sila dahil hindi lang nila ipinagmamalaki ang pagiging Filipino nila kundi IPINAGMAMAYABANG talaga ng SB19 na sila ay mga Filipino artists at bitbit nila ang musika at kulturang Filipino saan mang sulok ng mundo sila mapadpad, no matter what others may think or even if others may put them down.*

Their character sets them apart from other idol groups: sincere, honest, intelligent,not afraid to be vulnerable, no pretensions and eloquent.

Pablo is the most passionate amongst the group.

gento was how i found SB19 and i’m already a huge fan. these boys seem so genuine and they are all extremely talented. i’m southeast asian (thai) and listen to mostly asian music; filipino, thai, korean, chinese, japanese, and vietnamese- and hearing how proud these guys are of their heritage makes me so happy. i wish nothing but success for this group because they truly deserve it.

The Philippines is so proud of these guys! They really take Filipino music on the global stage. They never lose their identity as a group. Such humble kings!Let's go SB19!

Ken's skin tone is really beutiful, not to mention that face, that voice, that aura he has❤

Pablo is such a great leader

Pablo is the definition of "the gift of a gab". He's quite eloquent and really thorough with his sentences. I barely see lapses.

Pablo complimenting and emphasizing every group member ability & skills and always uplifting his Group Members is such a Leader Material 🥺🥺🥰🥰😍

Southeast Asian talents are underrated. The global audience seem to look down on us, that's why I'm beyond happy that SB19 happened. Heck! These dudes alone are monsters in talents (they are multi-talented). There are more of them here!

How do we define P-pop or Pinoy pop? EASY. What makes American pop American and British pop British is the same logic that makes P-pop Filipino. Whatever the artist brings with him- his schema, his culture, his language, his philosophy- when a Filipino artist fuses them together to create an expression of human emotions whether that intends to appeal to "universal" (or collective consciousness) or highly personal themes, you have Filipino music. Since there is no culture that exists in a vacuum, definitely the definition of Filipino will include various influences- Korean, Chinese, Japanese, American, British, Australian, etc. I don't know why bashers would call Korean influence as the "inauthentic" aspect of SB19 when it's clear that Filipino audiences and social media acknowledge the influence, allowing K-pop music and drama to become part of mainstream Philippine entertainment. It's unrealistic to define any pop music as "pure" by weeding out influences- that's being absolutely ignorant of the synergy behind the evolution of music in the world. There's no reason to "purge" these influences to come up with a pure, untainted concept of Filipino- because there's no existence that's "pure" and "untainted" to begin with. The best musicians in the world are those who were able to reinvent what's already there by coming up with fusions that have the potential to transform the identity of the original concept into something "fresh" and relevant to the times (hence we have 80's pop music, 90's pop music, and so forth and so on). If nothing else, P-pop is exactly what it is because it's RELEVANT. It never ceases to experiment with prevailing trends. It's not afraid to come up with its own expression, its own language, its own symbolism, its own INNOVATION. And it's not just the style that makes SB19's music different from any music that currently exists (see "What" and "Bazinga"- they're DIFFERENT from punk pop, grunge, hip-hop, etc). It's the DASEIN (way of being in the world) that's infused with cultural themes and sentiments fitted into a BEAT, a MELODY, a PROGRESSION that, I think, makes P-pop a VARIETY that deserves to be heard. 😇

Im smiling while watching the whole video ❤❤ June 2024

Filipinos have this kind of advantage of having the skill in understanding and speaking in english though sometimes we can't do it perfectly but at least we don't need translators and can answer questions immediately.

I really have high respect for self-producing artists/self-made group. I can sense they are genuine and authentic because it's their stories that are translated to music and being shared to the world. Hoping more people can hear and be inspired of SB19's music and story. Thank you for raising the PH flag. Proud of you Mahalima! Thank you Zach Sang Show for having them. 💙

When Pablo said whenever he watches their old videos and he's about to cry, same, Pablo, same 🥺 Thank you, Zach for this opportunity for SB19!

Pablo is tunay na Henyo❤

*it was 3 years of training for them to debut and then 4 years more for them to reach the US and i’m sure that after more effort they will get the international collabs & nominations they're wishing for because that's just the way SB19 play.*

Thank you Zach for having our mahalima! Just want to commend Pablo for being a true leader and a good speaker. You're really taking that role into action and not just by name. Now I know kung bakit ikaw yung itinalaga for that important position. Plus mas lalo kang gumagwapo pag nagsasalita, can't take my eyes off you. Keep on soaring high, SB19. Soon the world will know your name and your music.

Watching this now…. Made me realized that Ken/Felip (his name when doing solo), and Josh are silent artists in the making this time they are being interviewed. Ken came out with “Palayo” and “Bulan” Soon after. Josh also came out with “Wild Tonight”, “Pakiusap Lang”, and “Sofa”. This young men are really exceptionally talented. To this day, most A’tin are waiting for Stell solo, and Justin’s more creative endeavors. There’s no denying Pablo’s genius. #SB19 songs are testaments to his artistry. Praying for their continued success. Praying that they will not compromise who they are inside for fame and fortune. All the best to them!

Grabe ang visual ni Pablo dito.

Seeing ken laughing while stell is talking is my happiness haha

The balance of confidence and humility of SB19 is something that I adore about our mahalima. Looking back at their beginnings, stories of struggles, believing in themselves, their love for A'TIN and to all the people who help them towards the continuous success they are having right now is something that we are proud of. Keep on soaring high SB19, as you introduce the Philippine music to the global scene. Lagi namin kayong tanaw sa inyong paglipad ♡

I've seen a lot of kpop group interviewed here and I can already tell how refreshing SB19 is because of how unfiltered they are. Not even 15 minutes in and we have "I got scammed into joining this group" "We're still trying to get along until now" and "I'm struggling with this interview because it's in English" LOVE THIS. Zach in the end with "i appreciate your honesty" Oh, he knows.

Pablo is really the brain of the group. Instead of saying “I miss you” he wrote “Where You At? There's no groove within this music.No sign of your heartbeat in it, I'm alone”.

Not really into Pop groups before, but the table has turned. This is the very first time I'm supporting a boy group, and knowing that it's our own (Philippines). I've just discovered how really passionate & talented they are in terms of live performing, writing and creating their own songs and music videos, and even making their choreography. They conceptualize whatever they release in their channel or album so they can offer us a better production. They're all in sync in terms of vocals, it's like they were born ready to be the best in everything! That is why I regret not trying to watch them before, really felt a bit late not trying to get to know them first and also wasn't able to witness their humble beginnings. Not knowing that they even filmed their WYAT MV near in my workplace because I wasn't yet a fan of them that time. Now, I just always walk in front of that Filling Station in Makati to be inspired before going to work, just knowing that they've been there once really helps me a lot. Now, I really promise to support these humble kings even in the future. They deserve World domination! Thank you Zach Sang Show for inviting SB19.

Pablo is the best Leader and the best spoiler in P-pop 😂. love and proud of them all. They've come a very long and hard way. The struggles and trials they've overcome is always an inspiration and motivation to us fans to achieve more. I'm very thankful for them being there when depression hit me very hard. In a way, I was saved by SB19. Thank you for interviewing them and supporting our MahaLima SB19. 💠💙

Why do we love SB19? Aside from the fact that they are crazy talented artists: 1. They’re genuine. What you see is what you get. No inhibitions. 2. They’re passionate about their craft. They’re not just performing to earn money. They’d rather put more of their own money to their music videos to make a better one than saving up to build their dream house. 3. They love their country. From the very start, one of their main goals is to make PH’s economy much better. 4. They love their supporters. They always thank us and remind us that all the achievements they get are all because of A’tin. They treat their supporters as family and not just mere fans. They wear the gifts that we give them. They give importance to us. 5. They’re not greedy. They even tell the whole fandom to support other PPop groups and to always choose to be kind. If those are not good enough to support them, then you’re missing out.

Actually rn I feel like want go to Philippines and learn language bcs of them

Sb19 a group that comes from nothing but succeeded bcoz of hardwork they are truly amazing. I will not surprise if Sb19 will be a worldwide sensation and become a legend in Ppop music.

They are different because they did it everything on their own. Managed by a small company, they needed to be resourceful. they know everything, every lyrics, every tune every move by heart and soul. They are not just idols, nor just performers they are a total package- they are indeed the true artists. I hope everyone sees that in them. Their passion in music always shines in every performance, show and song that they do. They deserve to be heard.

Pablo has a great speaking voice.. so sweet.

The fact that they speak english so well. If only the government in Ph will support them and filipino people, they will be huge

Pablo really has almost the same style in songwriting like Taylor Swift. They really come up with good lyrics no matter how short or long the time is. Also the music thing where he hears something and he comes up with a melody is really like Taylor maybe that is the reason why he is my bias besides Ken because of their similarities in writing

Sb19 really serves as big inspiration to many especially to A'tin (their fans). Before getting this kind of fame and success they had to pass through many trials, trainings, bashings, doubts obstacles and whatnot. They are really creative, smart and unique but always remains humble and thankful.

Npakatalino talaga ni pablo my bias kamukha nia anak ko

sa mga nagcocomment dito na malamya yung Interviewer, FYI lang ho, may sakit yung tao thaat time but he still continue and push through this interview! Kaya iwasan nating mag comment ng ganyan kung wala naman kayong alam sa nangyari that time. Be thankful guys! Hindi lahat nabibigyan ng opportunity na mainterview international. Just look on the positive side, because clearly, zach did his research hindi putcho pucho magtanong ng walang kwenta. Yun lang! Uup ko ulit to.

Mad respect to SB19! Our Filipino pride. 🇵🇭 Authentic, very down to earth, and so passionate in their crafts. I hope more Filipinos and foreigner will discover and support these gems. Huhuhuhu My admiration to Pablo became even greater after watching this vid. He's very smart and eloquent. 🙌

I really like and love listening to pinuno talking. There is somthing in him telling you to be attentive when he's speaking. All five of them has a magnet you cant take your eyes and ears from them. They are really inspiring and humble human being. I love MaHALIMA SB19. 💙 💙 💙

grabe aura ng PABLO 😍

Discovered them recently through Gento and WOW they are sooo amazingly talented and seem like such great, humble human beings🙏🏻 handsome too (especially Josh😍)

I must have seen all SB19’s interview but what I just realised with this specific interview is that these boys are really honest and genuine. They will not lie just to please their audience and to gain more support. No showbiz here, just the real them. If it’s other celebrities they might answer “yes we are all close” you know, just to get the hang of it. but these guys are different. And that’s why I love them.

Pablo spoiling everything and Justin being stressed about it. Hahahaha. Pinunso ftw. Ken's and Josh's lowkey jokes and Stell's pride with his choreo skills. I enjoyed this interview. Proud of you guys. Edit: Authenticity = Being passionate and sharing your own story. 💙

PPOP as defined by SB19 - uplifting, humorous, breathtakingly artistic and excellent visually, audio wise, lyrics wise, nationalistic, culture fit, you also see the hodge podge of western, latino influences because Philippines were once colonized by Spanish and Americans.

I admire Pablo being spontaneous, smart and still humble.

Thank you Mr. Zach Sang for interviewing SB19. 💙💠🇵🇭

I know Pablo does not really want to praise him or what not, but I'm really amazed how genius he is when it comes to music. His musicality, how he wrote those songs and the ideas that every album they released are all connected and has a story. I swear, I really admire this Man. Your music really inspired a lot. That's a blessing from God keep creating music Pablo.

Ken looks so handsome... And pablo looks so beautiful but cool

GENTO leads me to SB19 and now I'm a fan....

That's right Zach! SB19's music/PPOP is highly AUTHENTIC. Credible statement!

SB19 will be big in the future 👀 Legends in the making!!

Love these guys discovered them through the song Gento. They are truly amazing. I lovebeverything about them the visuals dancing singing etc.

The advent of the social media for sure helped some Filipino artist expand their talents in music globally. However, these dudes are brilliantly outstanding . They have an innate talent that cannot be denied. They’re just showcasing it now. They are loved by millions of fans and followers all over the world. Everything is in the right time. God bless SB19.

That answer and line of Pablo .."its ok to make mistake but dont" is what im waiting for to watch this interview..🙂

They are authentic to their craft and themselves. That's one of the reason why I am a big fan.Thanks for inviting our boys to your show.

Pablo is so eloquent. There is always substance in every word that comes out of his mouth. And that my ladies and gentlemen, is the brain of a song writer.

Their english is already music to my ears! That's a great advantage PLUS the character, skills, abilities and passion of these boys are beyond imaginations! 5 singers 5 dancers 5 rappers + plus 5 great looks! Beautiful beings inside-out! Make Filipino proud #SB19 and make the world see what youve got! 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭 #sb19worlddomination

I almost cry while listenin' to Pablo's "why".. It was meant for you(SB19). You all deserve all of this things. The stage is your home.

The HONESTY... The AUTHENTICITY... The GRIT & PASSION... These characteristics transcends through the audience and make us even want for more. SB19 just love what they do and you can see there's no pretensions. Everything is true and pure that's why they deserve to be heard... Their music is meaningful and deep that anybody can find a song in their repertoire and relate to it. Thank you for having them in your show!

I love how honest and thoughtful their answers are, very insightful interview. I love Pablo's speaking voice

My mom is impressed. She's been asking who they are. I think this is it.

You can tell how eager they are to put Filipino music on the global stage, not just them, but the entire OPM industry in general. They're really a goal-driven group. Soar high SB19! So proud of you!

Ang popogi NG SB19, ang gagaling pang sumagot tas ung nag iinterview prang inaantok😊, nkk proud ang mga boys na to💕

Bardagulan pa rin kahit nasa America 😂

Asia Artist Awards 2023 Best Artist SB19!!! Always proud of you guys!! Thank you again @Zach for guesting the P-pop kings!! 🙏🙏🙏

Thanks so much for having SB19 our P-POP KINGS 💙💙💙💙💙

A'TIN here since 2019. And until now nabibigla parin ako na kapag may interview ang boys ung almost 1 hr na interview parang 5 minutes ko lang napanuod. Nabitin pa ako.

I remember Pablo said in their Podcast that he don't have friends. I'm glad SB19 form because he had these four now that he can call friends

Pablo speaks so well, he really shines when it comes to interviews. Kudos to Josh too for always trying to say things in the most agreeable way possible. Someday even shows outside the PH would be clamoring to have you on.

Thank you for inviting SB19. They are so awesome and my favorite boyband in the entire planet.. 💕

People who are the best usually don't think they are the best, so #SB19 you all are the best, the best I have seen in my life. You're the culmination of what each of us dream of, hope for, and strive for. God bless you all #SB19 and come back here to the US again💙🇺🇸💙💙💙 Thank you Zach Sang show for a very good interview.

Pablo is genius!. He knows!💪😉

"Keep the hate coming",it adds to the fuel inside of them to do more .. and "it's okay to make mistakes but don't",yes, they are really determined to leave a "mark" to be remembered❤

From believers, to dreamers, to achievers, they really did not waste any chance to show how amazingly talented they are!! So proud of you Mahalima, keep on shining coz the world is ready for you!!

Why us? - Pablo asked. Answer: Because you guys are actually good. Your songs are smart, meaningful and authentic. You're not just a "here you go, sing and dance" group. You didn't have any shortcuts. Every song is different. You guys really are passionate at what you do. You guys worked hard since the beginning and we all saw that. Nobody forced me to like you. It just came naturally. We grew with you. So thank you SB19! Padayon!

To everyone saying the interviewer seems sleepy, I follow Zach Sang in his social media, and he was sick and feeling unwell during this interview, he had no choice but to still push through with the interview 'cos it's his show, and he still did great because Zach is really one of the best radio shows out there, glad he was able to have SB19 in the show. Anyway, I'm not really an SB19 fan, but I have MAPA and BAZINGA on my playlist 'cos they're genuinely good. I finished this whole interview out of curiousity and I loved how the whole interview went. The guys aren't fluent in english which is understandable since it's not our first language and I love how they were also honest about it. They did a pretty good job with their answers, there wasn't any dead air and they are very interactive. Props to Pablo for being well-spoken! I can understand why he's the group's leader. Good luck and more power to SB19, you're doing so well in representing our home country. 😊👏

Josh really knows how to handle the group and keep the balance within the group, just by the way he intercepts and clarify their messages.

Wow! I admire their honesty. They're breaking the norms in the industry and setting their own standards.

Thanks Zach and Dan for having our boys. At first I am a bit sad on how you interview them since I watched some of your interview with other artist and your are lively there. I am just giving the benefit of the doubt that you are just being casual or you are not feeling well. 🫶🏻 Hope you are okay and I hope our boys touched your heart with their story and their passion 💙

Now I know why Pablo is the leader of SB!9, and I love how they are interactive and how to make this interview light and funny.

naiiyak ako kasi bukod sa ang hirap magenglish ang layo layo niyo na 😭
