Is 98 Degrees collaborating with SB19? Vocal group answers
Is a collaboration brewing between '90s vocal group 98 Degrees and SB19?
In Tuesday's episode of 'Fast Talk With Boy Abunda,' group member Jeff Timmons revealed that they had previously been in discussions with SB19's management about a potential collaboration before the COVID-19 pandemic.
'A couple of years ago when we were talking about coming here pre-pandemic, we were in talks with some of the management of SB19 and there was interest there,' Jeff said.
'The other day I brought it up and it is something that was kinda on our wishlist. We've been in contact with them and we're trying to meet up with them while we are here. So hopefully it is in the works,' he added.
Jeff also shared that they have a lot of respect for SB19, especially for their craft.
'We have a lot of respect for what they do. The K-pop elements and yet Filipino twinge and style and vibe that they have, we think that is a perfect storm and kinda connects with what we do,' he said, adding that they would love the opportunity to collaborate with P-Pop Kings.
98 Degrees, composed of brothers Nick and Drew Lachey, Jeff Timmons, and Justin Jeffre, is best known for the hit songs 'I Do (Cherish You)" "The Hardest Thing," and 'Because of You,' among others.
The group is currently in the Philippines for their two-night concert at the SM Mall of Asia Arena on May 30 and 31, which will feature performances by OPM acts Janine Tenoso and Katrina Velarde.

TikToker-pharmacist Arshie Larga brings driver to SB19's Simula at Wakas concert
Arshie Larga made hearts melt with his thoughtful gesture during SB19's Simula at Wakas concert at the Philippine Arena last weekend. The TikToker-pharmacist said in a TikTok video that he rented a car and hired a driver for the event. Arshie had an extra ticket so he asked his driver, whom he simply called Sir, if he wanted to watch. The driver said yes. The video showed the driver talking about wanting to watch a show at the largest arena and Arshie said, 'Ayan, mararanasan mo na.' Arshie added in the comments section, 'Naisip ko lang din kasi na instead maghintay si Sir sakin sa parking, bakit di ko na lang isama manuod. Buti pumayag naman.' In the clips that Arshie shared, the driver could be seen bobbing his head to the music and taking videos. 'During the concert, lagi syang nagvi-video tapos sinesend nya sa anak nya kasi never pa daw nakanuod ng concert. KUNG ALAM KO LANG TALAGA!' Arshie said. On their way home, the driver said he cried to SB19's song 'MAPA' because he remembered his parents who passed away. He also said he was happy to watch a concert again. As of this writing, Arshie's video has 3.7 million views, 751,800 likes, and 6,871 comments. SB19 member Stell said, 'ARSHIE' with a teary-eyed emoji. Justin also reposted the video. SB19 dropped their EP 'Simula at Wakas' in April which includes the songs 'DAM' and 'DUNGKA!' Over the weekend, the P-Pop Kings kicked off their Simula at Wakas World Tour with a two-night concert at the Philippine Arena. SB19 will have their world tour across 18 cities in Asia and the Pacific, the Middle East, and North America. —Nika Roque/JCB, GMA Integrated News
