The future of P-pop is coming soon —- but netizens seem to be at a crossroads. PLAY Ph, the newest P-pop boy group around the block has become the talk of the town ever since their performance at PTV’s Rise and Shine Pilipinas. 

From KMD Studios, PLAY Ph is a six member boy group set to debut in January 2027. The group consists of PLAY Travis (Captain), PLAY Gab (Co-Captain), PLAY James, PLAY Kenjie, PLAY Wesley, and PLAY Sean. 

On October 28, PLAY Ph attended their first television guest appearance at PTV’s Rise and Shine Pilipinas where they performed their original song “Crush Kita.” The controversies circled around their vocal and choreography execution, where most netizens wondered if the new artists were prepared to take on the spotlight.

While criticisms come their way, the group turns the controversy into a learning experience, promising  better performances in their future appearances. They’ve also leaned into their virality to further promote their artistry, accumulating more than 42,000 followers on facebook. With this positive attitude, the P-pop community holds hope that the group would continue to improve and soon be a part of P-pop’s new generation.
