P-pop powerhouse SB19 is gearing up for the world tour of its new EP Pagtatag! this coming June.
Carrying six tracks, Pagtatag!, produced under Sony Music Philippines is set to drop this June 9.
In celebration of the EP, SB19 will embark on a world tour beginning with a two-night concert at the Araneta Coliseum on June 24-25.
The boys made the announcement on Twitter along with the details and schedules of their shows.
The announcement came with a trailer mirroring the journey of a plant from a small shoot until it becomes a strong, fully-grown tree. It centers on the story of the Ikalawang Yugto trilogy, which alludes to the group’s previously-released EP Pagsibol and two more releases, including Pagtatag!
Immediately after the trailer’s release, #SB19PAGTATAG trended at No. 1 globally on Twitter, while other tags such as The Kings and P-POP KINGS made it to Twitter’s trending list even in countries outside the Philippines.
