P-pop group SB19 marks another first in their music career as they are set to hold their first virtual concert on November 21.

Due to the pandemic, the Filipino Idol group will be performing their original songs from their first debut album Get in the Zone online in collaboration with Global Live.

Although fans can only watch them through their screens, SB19 promises to give outstanding performances.

"Kung sa performance namin as an artist po, wala namang po siyang pinagkaiba sa previous perfomances namin noong hindi pa kami sumisikat, wala pa pong nanonood sa amin," Sejun said during the virtual press conference for their concert on Monday, November 16.

He continued, "Talagang maliit man 'yung [dami] ng tao, maliit man 'yung stage or kung malaki man 'yung stage, talagang binibigay po namin 'yung best namin para naman po worth it naman 'yung panonood ng mga taong sumusuporta po sa amin.

"Pero this time, since wala nga pong audience physically, siguro po ibibigay na lang talaga namin kung ano po yung makakaya namin kasi yun na po ang sitwasyon natin ngayon.

"Kumbaga, we want everyone to be safe at mae-entertain namin sila."

Josh added, "Para po sa online concert na ito, marami po kaming plinano at inihandang bago para po sa A'Tin.

"Sa tingin ko po, sapat na 'yung dahilan para sila ay manood. And alam po namin na alam nila na nami-miss na namin sila and nami-miss na po namin sila. Siguro sapat na pong dahilan 'yon para po magkaroon kami ng chance para mai-showcase, hindi lang sa atin kundi all around the world, kung ano po ang mayroon ang SB19.

"Gagawin po naming ipakita pa ang iba pang side ng SB19."

Likewise, Ken said, "May bago po kaming performances na inihanda para sa fans namin.

"I think it's really a great time para i-showcase yung individual skills namin to the people kahit po it's only virtual.

"Basta po we'll do our best para po sila mapasaya despite po sa pandemic na nangyari at sa situation ng country natin ngayon."

For their part, Sejun said, "Sa totoo lang po, we're really excited to perform on stage kasi po it's been a long time since we last performed on stage po."

Justine seconded, "Sa amin po, talagang kantang-kanta na po kami, gustung-gusto na po talaga naming mag-perform."

Meanwhile, in response to the recent events in the country, SB19 is donating a portion of the proceeds from their online concert to the survivors of the recent typhoons.

The quintet also gave a message to their fans who were affected by the recent calamities.

Stell said, "Gusto lang po naming sabihin na tatagan lang nila ang loob nila and huwag po sila mawawalan ng pag-asa kasi habang may buhay, may pag-asa po.

"Alam po namin na marami pa pong mabubuting tao na handang tumulong sa inyo.

"Sana kung ano po yung makakayanan namin para makatulong, sana po ay makatulong po para magkaroon kayo ng lakas ng loob."

Lastly, for their fans who have been wanting to see them perform live, SB19 hopes to entertain them through their online concert.

"Alam po namin na sobrang miss na miss n'yo na mapanood kami na mag-perform nang live. Alam na alam n'yo na miss na rin namin kayong makita at makasama.

"Pero sa nangyayari nga sa bansa ngayon, marami pa tayong dapat munang paghandaan at pag-ingatan muna bago tayo magkasama-sama ulit.

"Sinisigurado po namin na mag-e-enjoy kayo. Siguro yung poot o yung problema na dinadala ninyo sa puso n'yo, sana kahit papaano ay maibsan namin at sana makatulong kami, mabigyan namin kayo ng kasiyahan at mag-iwan ng ngiti sa mga labi ninyo," Stell concluded.
