Beyond their passion and talent on stage, the members of SB19 are also known for their shared love and dedication to their fans, A'TIN.
Even offstage and in public places, lucky fans had the chance to share quick selfies and warm greetings with the members.
However, despite their deep appreciation for fans, the Kings of P-pop also value their privacy and personal boundaries.
During a livestream on Weverse, SB19's Stell opened up and shared a few friendly reminders to A'TIN.
"Kung sakali man po na malaman n'yo 'yung bahay ko, sana po huwag n'yo po i-share 'yung address ng bahay ko," he said.
"Pumapayag naman akong magpa-picture po. Pero 'pag nandito po ako sa area malapit sa house, tumatanggi ako magpa-picture kasi parang hindi po ako comfortable...I mean, kahit sabihin na hindi i-upload, parang na-ano ako, napa-paranoid na baka alam mo 'yun."
While Stell expressed trust in their fans, he emphasized the importance of respecting personal space, especially near their homes.
"Sana 'pag sinabi ko, 'No pictures' sana maintindihan n'yo o sana hindi magpapatago ng photo kasi nahahalata. I mean, maayos naman 'yung way ko mag 'no'," he added.
The reminder stemmed from a personal experience, where a fan approached him outside his house and asked for a photo. Despite politely declining, he noticed the fan attempting to secretly take a picture, which made him uncomfortable since his home address was visible nearby.
"Pero kasi nag 'no' ako parang nakita ko nagta-try siya mag-sneak ng photo. I mean siguro naman you mean no harm naman, for keeps lang talaga. Pero kasi nga 'pag nag 'no' na, sana 'no' na," he noted.
Stell later apologized for refusing and asked that any photos taken not be shared with others.
"'Di naman ako galit or what. Na-sad lang ako na parang maayos naman 'yung pakikipag-usap ko ganoon. Pero naiintindihan ko naman kasi baka nga napadaan lang siya. Sumakto na nandoon siya. Tapos gusto niya lang ng photo kasi once lang mangyaring mag-meet. Pero mali lang talaga 'yung situation," he explained.
"Hindi naman po ako galit, promise, and huwag n'yo siya aawayin dahil lang doon. Baka na-excite lang siya."
He also shared a reminder for fans who wait outside their office, "Unang-una, dapat po nagpapahinga po kayo sa bahay n'yo kasi sayang naman po 'yung oras n'yo na pag-aantay lang sa baba ng office namin," he jokingly shared. "Parang gamitin n'yo na lang po sa mas makabuluhang bagay 'yung oras n'yo kaysa mag-antay lang po kayo kung saan-saan."
Stell is part of the P-pop group SB19, alongside Pablo, Josh, Ken, and Justin. The group is known for hits such as “VISA,” “EMOJI,” “DUNGKA!,” “CRIMZONE,” “MAPA,” and “GENTO.”
They recently wrapped up their sold-out concert, “Wakas at Simula: The Trilogy Concert Finale,” with thousands of attendees filling up the SMDC Festival Grounds.
In addition to his group activities, Stell has also established himself as a solo artist. He previously served as a coach on The Voice Generations and The Voice Kids Philippines.
