SB19, also known as Sound Break 19, is a five-member Filipino boy band formed under ShowBT Philippines Corporation.
The group consists of members Sejun, Josh, Stell, Ken, and Justin.
They are the first Filipino act trained by a Korean entertainment company under the same system that catapulted K-pop artists into global stardom. South Korea is exceptional for this management system. But ShowBT, an entertainment agency based in Seoul that has branched out to the Philippines, has become the first Korean agency to bring that training system to the Southeast Asian nation.
SB19 is managed by a Korean entertainment company called ShowBT and is meant to be “a collaboration between Korea and the Philippines.” SB comes from their agency’s name, while 19 is a play on numbers— in an interview with K-Street Manila, leader Sejun mentioned that it’s based on the country codes of South Korea and the Philippines. “If you add 8, 2, 6, and 3, it’s 19. And if you subtract 82 and 63, it’s also 19. So the bond is strong talaga.”
The group debuted, October 26, 2018.
