Filipino Vocal Groups BINI and BGYO Ready to Break into the Indonesian Music Market

Kapanlagi.com - The trend of vocal groups is starting to enter the Philippines with the biggest influence from Korea. Therefore, ABS-CBN formed the Star Hunt Academy to search for new talent in the P-pop industry and provide training to participants who passed the auditions. This program eventually produced the girl band BINI and the boy band BGYO, who are expected to break into the international music market.
 
To fulfill their dreams, these sibling groups from the Philippines are trying to break into the Indonesian music market by first holding a virtual meeting titled "Global Virtual Party Asia Tour." The program aims to officially introduce BINI and BGYO members to the Indonesian market.
 
Through this program, created by ABS-CBN, the company greets its fans in Indonesia and showcases their debut singles "Born to Win" by BINI and "The Baddest" by BGYO.
 

1. Trending in the Philippines

BINI, based on written information received by Kapanlagi.com, is taken from the Tagalog word 'binibini' which means 'young woman'. BINI consists of 8 women aged 17-20 years old with their own talents and characteristics, ranging from dance, visual, rap, and vocal. This diversity of talents is united and produces a harmonious appearance and rich musicality.

BINI began to be known by the global community through their pre-debut single 'Da Coconut Nut' in November 2020, which went viral on social media. Their debut single 'Born to Win', launched in June 2021, has an electronic touch and successfully became trending on YouTube Philippines within the first 24 hours.

2. Ready to Bring Color to the World Music Industry

Meanwhile, BGYO, which stands for 'Becoming the change, Going further, You and I, Originally Filipino', consists of 5 male members aged 18-20 with incredible vocal, dance, and rap performances. Their debut single 'The Light' released in January 2021 brought them to the second position on the Next Big Sound chart from Billboard. BGYO's popularity continues to rise with their second single 'The Badass' released this August.

Both groups are ready to enter the Indonesian market and perform in front of BLOOM, the fandom name for BINI, and ACE. 'We realize the importance of representing modern Philippines and paving the way for the international music industry, including Indonesia, as a P-pop girlband. This is a dream that we believe will come true in the future. Whenever that opportunity comes, we will always be ready,' said Jhoanna, BINI's leader during the 'Global Virtual Party Tour Asia' event.

We can't wait to share our work with the Indonesian market and bring a new atmosphere to the music industry,' said Gelo.
