Recently, a rumor circulated suggesting that one of SB19’s shows in the United States, as part of their ‘Pagtatag! World Tour,’ was allegedly ‘under-attended.’
This rumor even made headlines in a tabloid and spread across various social media platforms, claiming that less than a hundred people attended the event.

In response to these rumors, Jun Lalin conducted an interview with Anna Puno of Starmedia Entertainment, Inc., the promoter behind SB19’s concert tour, to get to the bottom of this intriguing story.
Anna firmly denied the reports, stating, “Darling, kilala mo ako, kung totoo ‘yan, hindi ako magde-deny. Makikita naman lahat ng mga larawan, video na naka-post sa aking Instagram, Facebook accounts, pati sa mga accounts ng Starmedia Entertainment. I-check na lamang ng mga nang-iintriga. Makikita naman na maraming mga tao.”
Anna refused to engage further with these baseless rumors, highlighting their contentment with the success of SB19’s concert tour.
From the group’s television guestings to the shows they performed, their warm welcome and the large number of attendees in the United States were evident in their posts.
Through SB19’s own social media updates, it is clear that they were enthusiastically received in the United States.
From their television appearances to their live shows, it is hard to believe that their tour was ‘under-attended.’ Instead, it was a resounding success and a testament to the group’s popularity both in their home country and internationally.
