to A’TIN—the fandom responsible for ensuring their mercurial rise to commercial
prominence. “We’re very thankful and overwhelmed, especially to our A’TIN. We
didn’t expect it to top in various charts not only in the Philippines, but
different parts of the world. This was truly unexpected as we haven’t been
around for a while. Hopefully, this release isn’t the only one that will turn
out successful, but the tour as well.”

phenoms are set to embark on their biggest local and international tour to date.

SB19 heads to multiple countries - US, UAE, and Singapore to name a few.
International A’TIN can expect SB19 to drop by their city starting October
2022.
When

dancer Stell confirms that music listeners will be seeing a different SB19 this
time around. “The same passion is there, the same dedication is there, but
we’re just going to give more for this tour. Like we usually do, we try to
level up and improve every time.”
Sub vocalist
and WYAT creative director Justin also emphasized how rigid their preparations
are in terms of upping the ante, quality-wise. “It is our first time having
dance and vocal coaches helping us in our concert preparation. So that’s one
thing the fans can look forward to, the improvement of our dancing and singing
