On July 10, new Pinoy Pop Boy group BILIB member Yukito addressed the comparison people would have between their group and other PPOP groups.
At the media launch of BILIB’s ‘Kabanata,’ which LionhearTV covered, Yukito said they are promoting cooperation with other PPOP groups rather than creating a comparison between them.
“Actually, napag-usapan na rin po namin ito as a group. Kasi po, totoo po ‘yun, hindi rin po natin maiiwasan and actually noong nilabas pa lang po ‘yung mga teasers namin ang dami na pong siyempre mga haka-haka, ng mga comments about it. Pero, sa akin po kasi, maganda po kasi since we’re also mutual na rin po sa mga ibang PPop idol groups. Kaya nga po tayo may #PPOP right? To promote po talaga cooperation.”
He then clarified that they are friends with other PPOP groups in the country.
“So I think it’s only going to be the minor stuff po, like beginning part pa lang po tayo nakikilala, so once po na sana kasama na namin ‘yung ibang PPop group na they discover na kami rin po ay magkakaibigan din naman. I think doon po matatapos ‘yung mga hunch na ‘yan.”
He then detailed how they would maintain their commitment to becoming a long-lasting PPOP group.
“So kapag nag-uusap kami tungkol sa problem, pinagco-cooldown ko po, and we discuss it personally po sa aming management. And then, we meet halfway. So isa po ito sa mga natutunanan namin na of course, na hindi po namin masasabi na it’s always going to be forever or so, but ito pong condition po, ‘yung relationship na ginagawa namin makes us confident na it will last.”
BILIB members include YUKITO, ZIO, CARLO, RAFAEL, RC, JMAC, and CLYDE.
The PPop Group under AQ Prime Music also released their first single and music video titled ‘Kabanata.’
