SB19 is the first-ever Filipino boy group trained under ShowBT. These boys are all-around performers who can sing and dance a wide variety of genres, compose their own music, and create their own choreography.
The group consists of five members namely Sejun, Josh, Stell, Ken, and Justin, each with their own individual parts and strengths. And despite their differences, they can perform seamlessly onstage and produce quality performances.
The “SB” in SB19 stands for “Sound Break”, meaning they will break into the Philippine Music Scene with their fresh style and unique brand of music. “19” on the other hand, represents the bridge between South Korean (area code 82) and the Philippines (area code 63).
