The quintet and Nickelodeon also announced that an “encore telecast” will be held on Saturday, July 20, although details of this particular event are yet to be disclosed.
While SB19 is the first P-pop group to win the plum, the then-Charice Pempengco was the first Filipino solo artist to bring home the same award. She bested K-pop girl group Wonder Girls, Malaysian artist Yuna, and Indonesian singer Agnes Monica.
Earlier this month, the quintet was also the first P-pop group to appear on the Japanese music platform “The First Take” where they performed their hit songs “Gento” and “Mapa.”
SB19, composed of Pablo, Josh, Stell, Ken, and Justin, is set to release their “Pagtatag!” documentary film on Aug. 28. The upcoming docu will center around the group braving through a “year of challenges” which took place in their “Pagtatag!” era.
The group debuted in October 2018 with “Tilaluha” and eventually went on to gain massive success in the P-pop industry, earning them the moniker “P-pop Kings” or “Kings of P-pop.”
