That press conference was heartbreaking but it's one of the the things that hardened the boys' determination to prove the haters and doubters wrong. As Ken once said "success is the best revenge." And I agree, they started off as a Filipino Kpop group, mostly because of the Korean company that handled and trained them. And getting out of that label was, I think, one of the hardest hurdles they have overcome.

"Stop touching your faces. No more. You are perfect exactly how you are." I agree 100%. (binge-watching your reactions) :)

The way you talk is very entertaining! Thank you so much, Huraira! You got a knack for this.

Josh and Pablo slapped these reporters with their smart answers

proud A-TIN here! it made me cried while watching your reaction crying as well. Thank you for supporting SB19!

This is why A’tin were so protected with the boys. SB19 is literally rising from rugs to riches phenomenon. Thank you for reacting to chuck. Promise after watching all of this, you’ll love SB19 even more. And you will be one of us; protecting the group at cost. ❤

I remember the Grow Up era, when they went viral for their dance video. As a Kpop fan, I was so amazed with them, a filipino who can match up with kpop. Then I begun watching their cover videos, the vocals, the dance line is so damn good. Just then, i know, if more people will open their hearts to them and know them, they will find a gem. These boys are going to places, little by little, they will make it bigger.

9:36 - This is the painful memory that makes every A'TIN angry. It's heartbreaking that SB19 did not even dreamed to be famous but just that they could live their dreams - creating music and performing with acceptable reception from people. They are survivors , weathering soul-piercing set backs: 3-10 live viewers, virtually zero audience performances in malls, and below-the-belt insults from media to name a few.

Hongganda: Hong + ganda. “Ganda” means beautiful. The usual Filipino phrase is, “Ang ganda!” Or, “Ang ganda niya!” (It’s so beautiful! Or, he/she is so beautiful!) So, Hongganda sounds almost exactly like the exclamation, “Ang ganda!” It’s a compliment to her beauty that people would give her that nickname. ☺️

Pablo answered the accusation of them being kpop wannabes. It was shown in another video of casualchuck: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jsujeqebzKyXZmg.html He basically said that they were not copying kpop but is instead influenced by it since as we know, kpop is popular at this time. Music is a universal language and we are all just influenced by music around us like how kpop was heavily influenced by jpop and american pop.

Actually it's really funny that they were accused of a Kpop wannabe. Pop music will always be pop music and all those terms Kpop Jpop Ppop are just indicators of the origin of the artists.

Oh my gosh i cry everytime i watch this video 💙 Im genuinely so happy for SB19

Love from Thailand.. 🇹🇭

❤ your RV. Btw, just in case anyone got taken aback by the clip of the boys fighting... It's from a drama they did. It's not real, just added on to tell the story. I think they were good actors, though. 😊

I cry each time I watch this. Their goal is to break in the Filipino music scene and is so deep rooted in different genre and style, so when new things and sound was introduced.... there was a lot backlash. But no one deserves to be treated the way they were treated, but it molded them to be strong and even more determined to be better! And to this day, they still learn new things and strive to be better. Pablo once said, please continue to support us and we will promise to always deliver performance today, better than yesterday! And I truly believe that they kept that promise. Love them so much ❤❤❤❤❤

You get it Hurraira, I can hardly wait for your reaction to part 3.

There are so many Cashual Chuck documentaries that I've watched including their legendary comeback to the Wish Bus after covid lockdown. You've only started your Journey learning about them. You Still need to see the official five part Making series of WHAT, Bazinga and WYAT. Keep exploring, you'll fall in love with these men even more!

We all tear up every time we watch a documentary or interview about their journey. These men are remarkable, very talented and they truly care about their music and us the fans. Love SB19 so much.

That press conference was literally the exact time when I stan them! I have watched their Go Up video and definitely saw talent and potential but thought its not that great coz of the MV. Then months later and I watched this conference and when they performed "Hanggang Sa Huli" live on that stage, I was hooked. Definitely wanted to protect them at all cost! Hated that hack of a journalist for asking such an unprofessional question. Everytime I watch this press conference video it still triggers me on how rude and disrespectful that guy is at the boys specially Stell! 🤬

Cried with you. And yes, music is inspired by what is around us. It's not copying. It's called inspiration. It's called trend. No one own's a genre. Music is universal.

I've been to several press conferences with the entertainment media and yup, they could be harsh. Many of them thrive on being rude and making the interviewees uncomfortable. The one who made those irrelevant and anger-inducing comments and questions belonged to a legitimate newspaper publication. Even I tried to avoid him during our encounters coz he was simply toxic. I believe he already passed away. Anyway, i'm simply glad that SB19 persevered and has already proven the haters wrong. I just wish they'll reach greater heights through the support of A'tin and reactors like you. Thank you for your time.

Regarding your last statement, I honestly cried when Stell got nose enhancement, not because I'm against it in any form. I just felt like the constant bashing of his visuals back then made him decide to do it and I truly hurt for him. And would you believe that most of the bashing came from inside the fandom? But he doesn't need it at all because all of the people that have seen him in person even way back their early days that he looks unreal in person (even compared him to Superman) and that cameras don't do him justice. Like, you won't be able to take you eyes off of him no matter who your bias is. Those who bash him before haven't even really seen him in person. My only consolation is that what he did made him gain more confidence in himself but sadly, the bashing still continues and now it's about the nose enhancement which to some people here is still a taboo and yet again, a lot of the bashing are within the fandom. Like some people seriously need to get a life.

I feel you miss hurraira...

I am loving all these SB19 content, Ms. H! Thank you for the thoughtful words for these sweethearts. I look forward to more of your SB19 videos as always. 🩵

I was also mad in that press conference... But i remained silent but still it give SB19 a huge way to the world domination... Haters gonna hate... It doesn't matter... People only judge by the cover not the whole book... But still we made it... We A'tin are proud of you mahalima...

Just discovered this group a month ago and since then I play their music every day to jump start my day. Retired from being a health care frontliner I didn’t think at my age I would give my time following Mahalima. I pray for their comeback and winning the battles against their foes!

It is not just you Hurraira. The boys were very respectful despite the rude questions. I was so mad I even wrote to the so called journalist in his instagram, who i would rather call a tabloid reporter. I cried how harsh they were to Stell...we all need a hug watching their initial struggles. Now we can just look back as the boys did who took it as motivation. I think this is why we love them so much. The positive outlook and the strength they have shown are so admirable...😊

I cried also in this eposode. It was painful to watch that press conference. 😪

Watching that Presscon will get into your skin and cry. They didn't have any moderator then. Once there is something not of the norm and not affiliated with big companies, this will happen.

Yes SB19 suffered so much yet they crawl, they endure from those hate comments, rudeness. I also saw a video on tiktok how the 2nd owner of SBT treat them. And they stand up and look at where they are now. And still pushing their limits. That maybe I am now a silent ATin.

This is my first time watching this documentaries I cried with you hurrarira. I APPRECIATE THEM EVEN MORE NOW.

Why is it that there's always lump in my throath , teery eyes whenever i watch/hear their stories from then and now? Much liove & respect to these boys. Stay safe & healthy always!❤😊

Until now, I can't watch THAT PRESS CON in full. Even just bits of it pierce my heart. Watching your RV, I teared up the same moment you did. Sure they were toughened up by that event, even laughing at it now, but I still get affected like the first time until now.

Idol group is new here in PH. They thought man wearing make up and dying their hair is not manly. That's why SB19 had a hard time penetrating the music industry here...

I feel you :(, this part right here really hurts a lot :( 😢😢😢 9:42

Omg I cry too😢

I felt your sincere reaction towards their story. They have gone through a lot before they became famous. A’tin felt the same way like you that is why SB19 had massive support from them. 😊

ohmygod. that gay question. a lot of toxic media questions about being gay in presscons actually come from actual older gay men. it coincides with the filipino toxic trait that we perceive straight men to be a certain way, and any characteristic that goes out of that is a sign of homosexuality. these older gay men, sometimes force out the young gays out of the closet, coz to them, the struggles of being gay somehow validate the existence as a real gay person. in short, they're toxic and bitter old people who happen to be gay. also another toxic trait of filipino showbiz media: they think that these inappropriate questions are them being real journalists and asking the real journalistic questions, when in fact, they're just being shit stirrers. to them, they probably went home, thought nothing of it, and called it a job well done. They're purposefully harder on new artists and justify it by saying they're just readying them for the bigger stage.

I just watched the same documentary last night. And I’m watching it again with you. ♥️

You made me cry too, Ms H. You are so genuine and authentic.

As an Atin this break my hearth watching, special they judge the boys, special Stell.. Thats why i admired them so much about there humble beginnings... Thats why thru thick and thin where here for them

I only watched that heartbreaking interview once, and I will never watch it again because It’s painful.

When I am watching this, I am crying. 😢😭😭

sending love from ph ms Jamal:-)

First time i watched that clip, i got mad as heck. Protect these guys, they are real gems❤😢

Yes...am mad too...to those negative disrespectful people...

I didn't know that they released “Go up” on my birthday which is July 19 i was in grade 3 at that time and didn’t know about sb19😭😭

Thank you so much. You are my favorite reactor of SB19.

That is one press con that I can't finish watching cause I don't know whether I'll cry or get enraged by the rudeness. There were actually 2 reporters who asked those rude questions. One of them was a veteran entertainment editor who passed away less than a month after that unfortunate incident. The other one remains anonymous to this day. Who knows, he might be one of those who worship Stell now.

I cant help but cry hearing their stories, but it makes them triggered to pursue their dreams. God bless SB19, MAHALIMA ❤️❤️❤️

Thanks!

I didn't know that they released “Go up” on my birthday which is July 19 i was in grade 3 at that time and didn’t know about sb19

Thank u! Awesome rv! A'tin milan! ❤❤❤❤❤

SLMT po,Hurraira! God bless! 🔥🥰💙💖

Thanks for this

Hi Hurraira! We cried with you! We witnessed their humble journey and struggles that made them stellar performers after that. Gosh did you see the line up of their concerts abroad and locally? ❤😊❤ They are unstoppable with A'tins here and worldwide. ❤😊❤

Thanks😊❤❤❤

Gosh, I cried with u watching the conference. 😔

I fully agree with everything you said. great

'Love goes' is one of my fave songs...

I have already watched this story before... but watching it with you again and seeing your reaction was worth it. You are so real with your reaction. I love your name too... I think i'll name my kitten Hurraira, she has those expressive eyes just like yours.

we are mad also watching that interview until now

Im crying w/ u hurraira 12:58 - risse

Your reaction is good

I remember myself being so hooked with SB19.. and I STLL AM.. I recently watched their PAGTATAG Concert at the Araneta Coliseum, they're super great!!!

Love Goes is good... its all in English..

You need to see that whole interview (or maybe you shouldn‘t). It‘s gonna make your blood boil. They really got such disrespect from supposedly professional reporters. Every time I see parts of that interview, I still get so angry and heartbroken at the same time. But Pablo‘s explanation why he wasn‘t bothered that they sounded like K-pop was excellent in that interview and just showcased his knowledge.

The media plays a big role for one's progress but they are also the ones who also makes your downfall. And that is what happenings in our country not only the artists is suffering. They are pulling everything down. That's the media in our country they can be mean and brutal for the sake of money what else right?

❤️❤️❤️

They said they are crying backstage after that interview...

Sadly, they still get a lot of hate like that- mostly from Filipinos. Crab mentality from colonialism is hard to shake. But definitely getting less and less little by little as society progresses, so we just have to be patient and time is on our side

Im waiting the episode 3 reaction...

Actually majority of press medias in the philippines are like that. They are all for pretty face rather than talents. Majority of filipinos are also like that. If they dont look good they wont get any recognitions they deserves.

I agree with your distinction between Kpop (1st-2nd Gen) and current Pop that just originated in Korea lol. The sound has certainly adapted a more global (slightly westernized) one. Reporters here vary in professionalism depending on their affiliation but since SB19 were just new and not backed by big media groups, they could afford to be audacious and rude, knowing they would suffer no consequences, such as being blacklisted from future events (especially since they didn’t expect the group to last at all). The whole interview is infuriating but nowadays, they’re given much more respect and have the freedom to choose which media outlets can be invited to press events.

subsciiibeeeedddd slay

👌👋❤❤❤

Episode 3 and 4 please...

Many people got angry with these toxic people who interviewed SB19

That interview is outright disrespect and a disappointment. They don't deserve the accusations and rudeness. But they handled it well, too respectful even. If A'TIN was there by that time, we would all flip and will definitely put those rude mediamen in their place.

❤❤❤
