Marlou, the famous member of Hasht 5, was compared as the Zayn Malik of the Philippines, who earlier decided to quit their boyband One Direction. He left four other members CJ, Vincent, Jhimwell and Eric who will still continue their baranggay tours and events as a four ‘Hasht’ and might record their very first album this year.
While members of the group agree that they are no One Direction in terms of looks, the boys are determined to challenge society’s definition of handsome. The group believes that physical looks are not enough to be called “guwapo.” For them, the old adage that inner beauty matters.
