SB19, consisting of Pablo, Josh, Stell, Ken and Justin, have released their first album as independent artists under 1Z Entertainment, Wakas At Simula, which translates to "End and Beginning" in Filipino. The group's trilogy of six-song EPs, 2021's Pagsibol, 2023's PAGTATAG! and Simula at Wakas from last year, combined with six newly recorded tracks, creating a comprehensive documentation for one of the most remarkable stories in modern Asian pop. The six new tracks, including the politically charged single “VISA” and collaborations with Be:FIRST and JOLIN, mark some of the group’s best work yet and indicate a boldness for where they can go in the future. The album is also seen as an important history marker for the Philippines' pop music, with the group's upcoming festival debut at Lollapalooza and a slot at Japan's Summer Sonic.
