P-pop boy group PLUUS officially made their debut with the release of their first mini-album, PLUUS + Y.M., as well as the music videos for its three tracks.

PLUUS dropped the three music videos for its EP's tracks "My Time," "Amigo," and "Cross My Heart" on the same day of their debut showcase last March 31.

In an interview with GMANetwork.com, PLUUS revealed the reason why they chose to release three songs for their debut.

"Actually po 'yung first plan po talaga namin is to release one song but our [president] Tatang Robin (Geong Seong Han) said sobrang dami pong taong naghihintay po sa amin and why not give it as a gift po sa mga sumusuporta sa amin. Yes po, we also write the lyrics po ourselves with the help of our company," Gab shared.

According to JL, they tried to release three tracks to challenge themselves and to broaden their creativity due to the support that came from their agency, SBTown, for not letting them be caged in one concept.

"For the preparation po, syempre hindi lang po 'yung vocals, hindi lang po 'yung dance skills, pati po 'yung paggawa namin ng concept. Sobrang thankful po kami talaga sa company po, hindi po nila hinahayaan na ma-cage po kami sa iisang concept lang po that's why we tried po na three songs 'yung i-release din po para po mas ma-challenge po kami at mas mapalawak po 'yung creativity namin." JL said.

In "My Time," the group showed their true personalities, their stories, and the struggles they faced during their four-year training as idols.

"Just like sa [music video] po ng 'My Time' namin, magkakaiba po talaga kami ng ginagawa sa personal life po namin. Sa totoong buhay ayun po talaga 'yung nangyari po. Mayroon pong nagwo-work, mayroon pong student. I think it's just destined lang po talaga magsama-sama po kami," JL explained.

Haro added, "'Yung 'My Time' po, ikinukwento po rito 'yung struggles po namin during our trainee days po. Dito po namin ikinukwento kung paano po namin na-overcome 'yung mga struggles during that period of time po."

PLUUS also talked about their friendship and relationship with each other in their song "Amigo." Meanwhile, Theo said that "Cross My Heart," tells a love story.

"Since 'yung 'Amigo' and 'My Time' is our story, we also want na maka-relate 'yung karamihan so hindi namin kinage 'yung sarili namin na sa story lang namin. So, I actually asked a friend about a love story and ayun nabuo po 'yung 'Cross My Heart," Theo shared.

PLUUS, the six-member boy group composed of JL, Haro, Yen, Justin, Gab, and Theo, trained under SBTalent Camp's South Korean trainer Adie Hong and SBTwon's President and CEO Geong Seong Han, the former mentor and producer of phenomenal P-pop boy group SB19. The group is also co-managed by Universal Records.
