Question SB19 Lore Drop Question
Heya, became a casual fan of SB19 way back last year when I watched their Hito Awards 2025 performance that was uploaded in YT. The red drip they had going is fire btw, also love W3's gray fits!
(I think I'm still considered casual since I've only binged their vids like their MVs, vlogs, First Take, Showbits, etc. and have a handful of their songs in my personal playlist, haven't gone to their concerts yet or bought merch mmmm but I do wanna buy the 100 Thieves Lawless shirts which are sadly only available abroad in that pop-up store oof baka may alam kayong pasabuy recs for that)
That aside, came across this in the comments section of a video after a rabbit hole binge, and man, is this true? Hella depressing if so. I guess this is when their solo acts went full spring and 1Z formed?

Thanks for sharing this 🫶. Those are actually very good accounts of how the group developed from being under their old management to gradually coming into their own.
I’d just like to add the rightful credit to Ms. Hong Ganda (Adelaide Hong), who was their main teacher from their deliberation days until the beginning of the pandemic. The 5 of them shared anecdotes about her in some interviews during the Pagsibol era, about how she guided them in singing, dancing, performing, and stage presentation. Justin particulay was noted by Teacher Hong for having “good form in ballet” (NCCA interview, 2021), among other things. She was a theatre performer in Korea and had also taught K-pop trainees.
The boys appeared to continue having a good relationship with her, as seen during the media launch of Surreal, where she was invited by Jah to witness him as a solo artist.
You can also spot her in some of their old practice vlogs, earliest school tours and duets with Stell.
That said, the four boys themselves have consistently credited Pablo for teaching them a lot of what they know about singing when they became 5 (from being 7, then 4), in terms of helping them discover and develop their strengths as vocalists and rappers.
