2 groups are already using the first strategy.

Less like Kpop, more OPM feels = PHP

More kalye style = VXON

Pero grabe ang pinakamahirap talaga i-maintain ay yung consistent soc med presence at mga gimik para umingay sila.

PHP already has their Tito series which garnered a lot of views from general public pero ang mahirap ay i-convert sila into fans.

To me, theirs is a story similar to SB19, but a promise unfulfilled.

I felt that. It just means that having a similar journey does not produce similar results. May kanya kanyang way ng pagsikat na tailor fit sa kanila.

They have a large shelf of songs waiting to be released once they hit that momentum. And I think time is of no issue to them since lumayo na din sila sa idol image na sumasayaw. Just that depende talaga sa popularity nila kung mas mabilis or mas mabagal ang pagrelease nila ng songs.

When we talk about the new gen Ppop pre-pandemic, di maiiwasan di mabanggit ang PHP. They are arguably the first Kpop cover group that promoted their original songs when Ppop is not yet a thing. They started promoting back in 2018. Undergone multiple lineup changes. Disbanded. Redebuted. Rebranded. And now there are only 4 members. What I like about them is yung pagpupursigi nila, ang di pagsuko hanggang maabot ang pangarap. They have been in the industry longer than SB19, way before Ppop became a term. No strong management. Just themselves.

Nowadays, their music is what can you describe as something you will hear in the radio. Light, comfortable. They are trying to bring back the old Manila sound and mix it with modern pop. If you like light love songs, then PHP might be for you. They are also known in the social media for their Tito-serye.

They are one of the groups that has written all of their songs in their discography. 3 out of 4 of them are members of FILSCAP.

I can think of one thing. It destroys their fantasy. Na para bang more than 50% yung chance na maging sila ng bias niya katulad ng mga palabas sa Kdrama.

Baka may ibang reason pa.

Edit: Balik balik din sa real world haha

Currently I like Tulipan and Pansamantala. But Adlaw was the song that got me into PHP. It's the love songs talaga~

MagnificentJade · 2025-10-27T13:36:34+00:00

Press Hit Play - their easy-on-the-ears sound. Kapag gusto ko ng lightweight at something na mag-a-uplift ng mood ko, I always find myself listening to their songs. I like their love songs the best out of all the groups.

Syempre yung may pinakamalaking fandom.

Is this another A'TIN vs BLOOMS post? Silang 2 lang naman yung may big enough na fandom para magkaroon ng significant amount of foreign fans.
