Pablo of SB19 Reveals His Celebrity Crush is Keanu Reeves
PABLO – The SB19 member revealed during the latest episode of “Fast Talk with Boy Abunda” on August 26, that his celebrity crush is Keanu Reeves. The show’s “Fast Talk” segment included a question about Pablo’s celebrity crush, to which he quickly responded with Reeves’ name.
In addition to Pablo, other SB19 members shared their crushes. Josh mentioned his admiration for Yeji of the K-pop group ITZY, Stell revealed his crush on Maris Racal, and Justin expressed his interest in Hollywood actress Saoirse Ronan. However, Ken stated that he does not currently have a celebrity crush.
Recently, there has been speculation about Pablo’s gender after actor-producer Robby Tarroza mistakenly thought that Pablo was romantically linked to Stell. As of now, neither Stell nor Pablo has made any public statements to confirm or deny these rumors.
Meanwhile, SB19 is a boy band formed in 2018, consisting of members Pablo, Josh, Stell, Ken, and Justin. Initially managed by ShowBT Philippines, the group went through rigorous training before their debut with the single “Tilaluha”. Despite early struggles, their viral dance practice video for “Go Up” in late 2019 significantly boosted their popularity.
SB19 has made notable achievements, including being the first Southeast Asian act to be nominated for a Billboard Music Award and to enter the Billboard Social 50 top 10. Known for pioneering the Pinoy pop (P-pop) genre, they blend various styles such as pop, hip-hop, and R&B. Their influence is marked by their global recognition and the titles “Kings of P-pop” and “The 100 Most Powerful People in the Philippines” by Esquire Magazine.
In 2021, SB19 continued their success with nominations and wins at prestigious events like the MTV Europe Music Awards and Billboard Hot Trending Songs. Their 2023 EP “Pagtatag!” and subsequent self-management under 1Z Entertainment reflect their growth and creative independence. They are also recognized for their philanthropy and endorsements, further cementing their impact on both the music industry and their community.
