MANILA, Philippines — P-pop sensation SB19 has bested K-pop and J-pop groups to be named Favorite Asian Act at the Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards 2024.

The feat was recently announced on Nick Asia and SB19’s official social media pages.

Other Asian acts nominated for the category included K-pop boy band ENHYPEN, Japanese girl group NiziU, and solo artists Tiara Andini and Iman Troye.

In a short video, the group formed by its five members, Pablo, Stell, Josh, Justin, and Felip, expressed their gratitude to their fans, fondly known as A’Tin, saying: “It’s such an honor to represent the Philippines. We appreciate all your love and support!”

The recognition comes 12 years after Pinay singing sensation Charice Pempengco (now Jake Zyrus) became the first Filipino to win the award, edging out the likes of K-pop girl group Wonder Girls and singers Agnes Monica and Yuna.

Tune in for the encore telecasts today at 12 noon.
