The Filipino boy band SB19 have appeared in various visual media, appearing in numerous music videos, television shows, online shows, and commercials. The boy band was formed in 2016 by a local subsidiary of the South Korean entertainment company ShowBT by selecting the members from a talent search to undergo training.[1] They debuted in 2018 with their debut single "Tilaluha", which had their first accompanying music video.[2] However, they only achieved a breakthrough with the single "Go Up" (2019) after a video of the group dancing to the song went viral on social media.[3] That helped them appear on several local television shows,[4] like morning news shows Unang Hirit and Umagang Kay Ganda.[5][6] The boy band released the music video for their third single "Alab (Burning)" in 2020,[7] which won the Music Video of the Year category at the 2021 Myx Music Awards.[8]
SB19's first extended play (EP), Pagsibol, was released in 2021, supported by three videos for the songs "What?", "Bazinga", and "SLMT". The band member Justin directed the music video for "What?",[9] which gained over one million views in its first 24 hours of release and was praised for its depiction of the Murillo–Velarde map of the Philippines,[10][11] while the video for "Bazinga", directed by Jonathan Tal Placido, won Music Video of the Year at the 14th PMPC Star Awards for Music in 2024.[12] The group followed the EP with "WYAT (Where You At)" in 2022,[13] accompanied by a music video directed by Jireh Christian Bascano,[14] which received nominations for the Music Video of the Year category at the 2023 Awit Awards and 15th PMPC Star Awards for Music, winning the category at the latter.[14][15] While touring for the song's namesake tour that year, the band debuted on American television, appearing on Good Day New York.[16] In addition, they collaborated with Ben&Ben for the music video for "Mapa (Band Version)" (2021) and with Bini for "Kabataang Pinoy" (2022).[17][18]
SB19 released their second EP, Pagtatag!, in 2023, with music videos for the songs "Gento", "I Want You", and "Freedom". The first two, directed by Kerbs Balagtas and Jed Regala, respectively,[19][20] earned nominations for the Music Video of the Year category at the 2024 Awit Awards.[21] In 2024, they appeared in the documentary film directed by Regala, Pagtatag!: The Documentary, documenting the Pagtatag! World Tour (2023–2024).[22] It became the highest-grossing Filipino documentary film in the Philippines.[23] That year, the band released collaborative singles and music videos with other artists; they collaborated with Ian Asher and Terry Zhong for "Moonlight",[24] apl.de.ap for "Ready",[25] and Gloc-9 for "Kalakal",[26] with the video for the latter being named by Billboard Philippines as one of the best music videos of 2024.[27] The group released their third EP, Simula at Wakas, in 2025,[28] supported by three music videos. The first was for the EP's lead single, "Dam",[29] directed by Alanshii,[30] which became the second most-viewed music video by a Filipino artist in 24 hours,[31] with four million views.[32]
Since their debut, SB19 have been recurring performers at noontime variety shows, ASAP,[A] It's Showtime,[B] and All-Out Sundays.[C] The group have also endorsed numerous brands, appearing in many commercials, including for Pizza Hut,[33] GCash,[34] and McDonald's.[35] In addition to SB19's music career, the group star in their own variety show series, Show Break (2018–present),[36] and have ventured into acting with main roles in the self-released online short film, Ex-Mas (2020),[37] and the web series, Our Zone: Anniversary Series (2021) and School Buddies (2022).[38][39][40]
