SB19 is closed November 2025 on a high that only a group with their consistency could pull off. At the 10th PPOP Music Awards, the Kings of P-pop delivered a near-clean sweep: Favorite Group, plus individual wins for all five members (Pablo – Leader, Stell – Vocalist, Ken – Dancer, Josh – Rapper, Justin – Visual). Even A’TIN walked away with Fandom of the Year, turning the group’s seventh anniversary into a seven-trophy celebration.
Their momentum didn’t stop there. SB19’s new esports anthem “Burn The Flame”—the official OST of Tencent’s Honor of Kings 2025 King Pro League—debuted at No. 9 on Billboard’s World Digital Song Sales (Nov. 29). It marks their fifth career entry on the chart, building on the success of “DAM,” which previously hit No. 1.
It’s the perfect pairing: the Philippines remains one of Southeast Asia’s strongest esports hubs with massive mobile-gaming penetration, so having the country’s biggest pop act voice the world’s most-played MOBA feels like cultural symmetry.
The awards rush also adds to their Awit 2025 wins (“Kalakal” with Gloc-9 for Best Rap/Hip-Hop, plus solo trophies for Stell and Justin), setting the stage for the international leg of their Simula at Wakas tour. A’TIN lit up X with #PPOPMusicAwards and #BurnTheFlame, turning the group’s achievements into a region-wide trending party.
And the celebration continues this week: SB19 will perform at the Asia Artist Awards (AAA) ACON 2025 in Kaohsiung, Taiwan on December 7. They join a star-studded lineup that has previously featured major Asian pop heavyweights like SEVENTEEN, Stray Kids, NewJeans, IVE, Aespa, Lim Young-woong, and global actors from Korea, Thailand, and Japan.
Filipino artists have also begun carving space in the AAA in recent years, with acts like BGYO, BINI, and Ben&Ben making appearances—SB19’s addition feels like the natural continuation of the Philippines’ growing cultural footprint in pan-Asian showcases.
From music charts to awards circuits to the booming esports arena, SB19 are proving yet again that they’re not just P-pop leaders—they’re one of Southeast Asia’s most visible and versatile pop forces heading into 2026.
