There’s a reason why SB19 was dubbed the Kings of P-pop, but more than their music, their influence as Filipino artists goes beyond the Philippines
It’s an understatement to say that SB19 is a major contributor to the P-pop scene today. More than a Filipino boy group, the influence of the Kings of P-pop has transcended their music, even so far as to reach glossy magazines such as being the cover of VMAN Southeast Asia’s (SEA) The Spring Fashion issue. Aside from their catchy music and flashy dance moves, the kings have proven time and time again how well-deserving they are of their recognition, leading to their influence in Southeast Asia not just as musicians but as cultural ambassadors.
@vmansea The blueprint of P-pop is built on more than just talent—it was forged in hard work, in laughter echoing through empty studios, and in a fraternity bound by trust, passion, and an unshakable vision. Now, #SB19 stands at the top—not just as artists, but as a force that’s redefining what Southeast Asian music can be. As one of the covers of VMAN Southeast Asia’s Spring Fashion Issue, they prove that this is only the beginning.

Since their boom in 2019, they have been topping charts and making history in the global stage, showcasing Filipino talent and identity all while balancing universal musical appeal. The Kings of P-pop’s achievements are not just a celebration of Filipino music, but an accomplishment and a celebration of Southeast Asian music, the role of language, culture, and storytelling evident in making their music resonate worldwide.
By gracing the cover of VMAN Southeast Asia, the Filipino P-pop sensation proves that their influence transcends music.
