P-pop girl group G22 on collab with SB19, Sandara


 

P-pop girl group G22 on collab with SB19, Sandara

MANILA, Philippines — P-pop girl group G22 is still in awe following their collaboration with SB19 and Sandara Park for the “Acer Day 2024” event.

The new ambassadors of Acer Philippines, AJ, Alfea, and Jaz of G22, got to share the stage with 2NE1’s Sandara for In or Out and SB19 for Limitless during the “Acer Day 2024” concert held recently. Limitless is the brand’s anthem for the music gig which was composed by SB19’s Pablo and produced by Radkidz.

Dubbed the “Female Alphas of P-pop,” G22 also rendered an intense performance of their own songs, Boomerang, Bang, One Sided Love, and Loka.

“I still feel like I’m dreaming. It was so amazing,” said Jaz in a presscon after the event. “The opportunity to collab with amazing artists and to also have them on stage for our song to perform, we are so grateful and it’s truly a milestone for us.”

Alfea was grateful for the opportunity as well. “This was one of the things that we’ve dreamed of before and we’re very thankful to Acer (for the chance).”

“Actually, it’s still not sinking in for me that we have collaborated with big artists like Sandara and SB19. Grabe kayo, Acer, thank you so much.”

The girls shared that they learned plenty of insights from their team-up with Sandara and SB19.

“We’re not there just for the collaboration, we’re also there to learn. We learned a lot from these artists, such as, work ethic, how they perform, how they are as artists. And as starting artists, it’s huge for us. We learned a lot, actually,” asserted AJ.

Alfea concurred, “Grabe yung feeling when we were on stage. It’s like, ‘Oh my gosh, this is it.’”

AJ recalled that the iconic song In or Out was one of the tracks that she listened to as a child and she never imagined that she would perform it with Sandara one day.

On the other hand, one of the memorable moments they had while recording Limitless was how Pablo taught them some music techniques. “He taught us how to execute the song. We encountered new style for the song Limitless, like rapping, that’s one of the things that we gleaned from Kuya Pablo himself,” recalled Alfea.

For AJ, she couldn’t forget how nervous she was during the recording. “Yung kaba ko because we know how he excelled (in his craft) and we know how he is. He was not just a rapper-singer in the room. He was our producer. So, producer Pablo was something na medyo kinakabahan ako super.”

But Pablo, nonetheless, guided them during the entire recording process. “He wants to make sure that you’re fine with it. You’re comfortable doing it and that’s why thank you so much Kuya Pablo for your patience,” said AJ.

Speaking of music collaborations, Alfea expressed that she wants to work with Ben&Ben and Jaz with Yeng Constantino.

Meanwhile, AJ maintained that they don’t engage in comparisons with other P-pop groups. She explained, “Because we only have one goal. One of (those) is to elevate P-pop and OPM. So, if we have the same goal, let’s elevate ourselves ng sabay-sabay.”

ANYTHING IS ACCEPTABLE


 


By Klaus Döring



There are no rules for behavior, dress, etc. Today, in terms of clothing, almost anything goes, but they recall when the dress code was strictly formal.


If people say 'anything goes', they mean that anything people say or do is considered acceptable, and usually they mean that they do not approve of this. [disapproval] In the 90s, almost anything goes. See full dictionary entry for go.


Well, you see, in olden days, a glimpse of stocking was looked on as something shocking, but now, God knows, anything goes.


Good authors too who once knew better words now only use four-letter words writing prose, anything goes.


The world has gone mad today, and good's bad today, and black's white today, and day's night today, when most guys today, that women prize today, are just silly gigolos.


And though I'm not a great romancer, I know that you're bound to answer when I propose, because anything goes.


Originally used in the 19th Century as 'Everything goes', it simply means that one can do whatever one likes, without rules or consequences.


Anything goes? Yes, it seems so: illegal logging, natural disasters, improper disposal of garbage, climate change, melting icebergs, "my neighbor goes on burning rubber and plastic" (GRABE!), poisonous waste products ... !


Guys, when will you stop doing this? Or, are you waiting for the next tsunami and taifun taking away your family and all your belongings and properties?


Since years, I have on my desk a wonderful brochure entitled "Q&A Questions and Answers on YOUR ecosystem" - mentioning and explaining 365 (!) reasons to stand up for Mother Nature. And to be counted as "Barkada ng Kaliksan"! It's really a primer on environment care, produced by the Kinaiyahan Foundation, Inc. and BARog KA likupan DAbaw, Inc. (BARKADA) with a foreword by Elisea G. Guzon, former secretary of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources.


Even having the fumes of burned poison garbage in my nostrils (I usually enjoy writing my columns somewhere outside in my tropical green garden!) I still study this valuable brochure.


Yes, anything goes! It really seems true! Why should one think about the ecosystem and its structures? Or, solar-energy and life on earth and why should it be protected? The effects of global warming can be seen more and more, but deforestation and profits kill the thoughts and deeds about the value of forests and how to protect them!


Fertilizer and its problems are known, but who really cares? Pesticides and their problems are very well known too, but who really cares? Anything goes? How do we handle major consumers of water managing water resources? Are we overusing groundwater?


Climate change, greenhouse-effect, gases that pollute the atmosphere, acid rains, and biodiversity are foreign words to these people, who continue to destroy our globe and provoke the next natural disaster. The above-mentioned brochure, mentioning the Top 30 Environmental Issues in the 21st Century, is not the only written examination or rebuke. I wish and pray for many followers. For our next generations!

The multi-titled Cool Smashers displayed their formidable championship form to deny the Angels their bid of extending their championship reign after winning the 2019 and 2022 Reinforced Conference editions.

Erica Staunton delivered the telling blows for Creamline by pumping in 19 points built on 16 kills and three blocks, while Bernadeth Pons provided ample support with 16 points including 15 from attacks. 

The Cool Smashers needed one hour and 33 minutes to dispose of the Angels, firing 51 attacks and posting seven blocks en route to the win that set them up a semis meeting with the Cignal HD Spikers on Thursday, Aug. 29.

It also extended their semis stint in the league from 2017.

Creamline’s victory also silenced the efforts of Wilma Salas and Brooke Van Sickle, who scored 18 points apiece in a losing effort for Petro Gazz.

NewJeans’ label ADOR ousts CEO Min Hee-jin

BY JONATHAN HICAP


The board of directors of label ADOR, which manages K-pop girl group NewJeans, has ousted Min Hee-jin from her position as chief executive officer (CEO). 

She was replaced by Ju Young Kim, a human resources management expert at HYBE, and a member of ADOR board of directors.

In an announcement, ADOR stated, “On August 27 KST, we convened a board meeting during which Ju Young Kim, an in-house director of the label, was appointed as the new CEO of ADOR.” 




“Kim, a human resources expert with extensive experience across various industries, will concentrate on stabilizing and rebuilding the organization,” the label said. 

It added, “Former ADOR CEO Min Hee-jin will step down from her role but will remain as an in-house director, continuing her responsibility for producing NewJeans.” 

“Additionally, the label will restructure to separate its production from management—a multi-label practice that has been standard across all other HYBE labels but was previously not implemented at ADOR,” it said. 

According to ADOR, “With these personnel and organizational changes, we aim to provide strong support for the continued growth and success of NewJeans.”

Min Hee-jin has been in a legal dispute with Korean entertainment company HYBE, the parent company of ADOR, since April.
