A significant question looms among fans as they notice that the five members of SB19 – namely Pablo, Josh, Stell, Ken, and Justin – removed “SB19” from their Instagram handles and bios. The uncertainty deepened during a performance at “Fusion: The Philippine Music Festival” on November 11, where event organizers used “MAHALIMA” in a post featuring all five members.
Speculations heightened after the group announced in June 2023 their departure from the talent management company ShowBT and the establishment of their own company, 1Z Entertainment, with Pablo as the chief executive officer.
According to a source, ShowBT not only owns the trademark for the name “SB19” but also holds the rights to their songs. This creates a complex situation for the group, especially considering that the name has become a significant part of their identity in the music industry.
The removal of “SB19” from their social media accounts opened the door to thorough analysis by fans regarding the future of their favorite boy group. Many are questioning whether this marks the beginning of a new chapter for the group or if there are other reasons behind the change.
One circulating theory suggests the possibility of legal challenges for the group due to the establishment of their own company and their departure from their former talent management. Ownership of the name and rights to the songs by ShowBT could pose obstacles for SB19, given the value and importance these elements hold in the music industry.
Despite the questions and speculations, fans continue to express their support for SB19. Their assurance to the group and the love they show through social media highlight the deep connection the group has with their fans.
In the coming days, many expect SB19 to release an official statement to clarify the issues and explain the changes happening in their career. While awaiting their response, fans from various parts of the world remain hopeful that their favorite boy group will overcome any challenges they may face.
