Pinoy Pop group Sound Break 19, more popularly known as SB19, has truly reached incredible heights since their debut in 2018. While there were those who doubted their talent in the beginning — judging them as just “K-Pop copycats” — this five-member boy band comprised of Justin, Sejun, Ken, Stell and Josh proven to all that there is much more to them than meets the eye. They are in fact far from being K-Pop copycats because they sing every song with the incredible trademark and emotions of the best Original Pilipino Music artists every single time.
