Before their debut, they released a pre-debut single, “Da Coconut Nut,” on November 20, 2020, showcasing their vibrant musical style blending P-pop, bubblegum pop, teen pop, and EDM genres. BINI quickly gained national recognition, earning the title “Nation’s Girl Group” due to their infectious personalities and broad appeal.
Their fandom, known as “Blooms,” passionately supports them, inspired by the group’s mantra “Walo hanggang dulo” (Eight until the end). BINI’s journey has been marked by numerous achievements, including being the first Filipino pop group with the highest monthly listeners on Spotify and topping Billboard’s Philippine Songs Chart.
Beyond their musical endeavors, BINI actively engages in philanthropic activities, participating in various charity events and concerts, demonstrating their commitment to making a positive impact beyond the stage.
The P-pop girl group expressed their reaction to allegations that their popular song “Salamin, Salamin” has traces of “witchcraft,” according to a religious group. In a video shared by broadcast journalist MJ Marfori on Tuesday, May 28, BINI member Colet said she just laughed at the accusation against their song.
“Actually, nakita ko po ‘yong post na ‘yon. Nakakatawa po. […] Natatawa na lang po kami na may mga ganoon na pong kuwento, theory-theory po ‘yong mga tao” she said. Maloi added: “Fake news po ‘yon. Hindi po witchcraft ang ‘Salamin, Salamin.’ Maganda lang ‘yong song.” Besides “Salamin, Salamin,” the group is also behind the song “Pantropiko,” which has been labeled as demonic.
