June is such a ✨ beautiful time ✨ for
#PPOPRISE
(at least for me) because a LOT of stories on P-pop groups are coming out. So I hope you're all ready sa bagsakan of P-pop stories from me this month.
Here's a thread for them and for me (pang-check sa to-do-list). 🧵
‘HOLD ME LIKE I’M MORE THAN JUST A FRIEND’
WATCH: Stell Ajero of SB19 (
@SB19Official
) opened the “Hitman David Foster and Friends” show with his rendition of Adele’s hit song “All I Ask.”
FULL CIRCLE MOMENT FOR STELL 💙
WATCH: Stell Ajero of SB19 did a rendition of Celine Dion’s hit song “All By Myself,” which is a created by award-winning composer and songwriter David Foster at the latter’s “Hitman” show.
@inquirerdotnet
For A’TIN and P-pop fans who are just getting into Korean award shows, performances usually have a time limit so it really depends on the artist’s ability to use it to the fullest.
SB19 having more than a seven-minute performance is a REALLY GOOD duration.
WATCH: SB19, accompanied by a choir, performed a rendition of “O Bayan Ko,” an original composition by National Artist for Music Ryan Cayabyab, to cap off the Mega Ball 2024.

Hoshi noticed a Carat sa Standing not feeling okay, then the Sebongs immediately called the staff for water. They kept on asking if they’re okay.
Seventeen also asked Carats to take care in the heat.
#SEVENTEENinBULACAN
Before the show started, my seatmates and I were joking na magsa-sky dive si Woozi sa Super.
But when we saw him on top, it started to get real. 😭
#SEVENTEENinBULACAN
Seeing Wonwoo taking over Seungcheol’s part in Super makes me so proud of him every time.
And Joshua was such an amazing vice vice leader last night. 🥺🤍

How do I write about a bias that I developed within a span of weeks? I don't know, but I dedicate this tribute to Astro's Moonbin.
I visited his memorial space last April 20 as a journalist covering the news, but I lost my composure and cried as a fan.
Josh laughed when I quickly asked him about his solo engagement happening at New Frontier Theater later while saying “Oo nga eh.”
Meanwhile, Stell said in response to my “Solo debut when?” remark, he said, “Sana po, sana po.”
