1621, an angel number that means success, fulfillment, and new beginnings; and BC, which can either stand for “beyond complete,” “boundless courage,” “believe completely,” “boldly captivating,” “beautifully charming,” or “blessed circle,” make up the group’s name. It also just so happened that DJ, the youngest member, is 16 years old, while JM, the group’s “kuya,” is 21.

Marking their entrance with their debut single “Laruan,” the boy band still can’t believe they were able to penetrate such a competitive industry.

“Life-changing po talaga ’yung pinasok naming industry kasi marami po kaming na-experience like mag-promote sa national TV, and nagkaroon din po kami ng opportunity na magkaroon po ng sarili naming songs, na hindi rin po namin inaasahan na matutupad po namin,” Win shared with Metro.Style.

“Gusto naming ipakita sa mga tao or sa viewers or sa listeners na versatile kami sa kahit ano’ng music style. Pero mostly, ’yung pino-portray namin is ’yung harmony talaga,” said Pan.

Meanwhile, their self-titled extended play, which was dropped in early February, revolves around young love and the tales encompassing it. The album—produced by StarPop’s Rox Santos—contains six tracks, all of which are meant to represent the youth’s outcry over falling in love and going through painful heartbreaks.

As to how they perceive the P-pop landscape, however, JM explained why it’s important for them to be part of this booming market. “’Yung P-pop po kasi, para sa’min pong lahat, parang new opportunity siya for OPM na maibigay ’yung another flavor po sa music. Malaking bagay po talaga na nandito kami sa industry na ’to.”

JC, on the other hand, believes that there are no shortcuts to being successful. “Wala pong instant sa pag-abot ng pangarap. Lahat po tayo, dadaan sa struggles, ups and downs. And kapag po kasi nakuha natin nang instant ’yung isang bagay, mawawala rin po siya agad nang mabilisan,” his statement went.
