Her career reached new heights this year when she established herself as a capable leading lady that could keep up with showbiz veteran Carlo Aquino in the well-received film “Isa Pa With Feelings” that premiered in October.

K-Pop
The Korean wave or Hallyu continues to take the world by storm, with Pinoys populating powerful fanbases of K-pop groups like BTS and Blackpink.
Having a huge fanbase, Filipinos are avid spazzers of #Kpop idols.

This year saw records set and new audiences explored as boy groups BTS, EXO, and GOT7 were all nominated at the 2019 Billboard Music Awards.
Backed by its infamous ARMY, practically the mafia of Korean fan groups, BTS took home two awards: “Top Social Artist” and “Top Duo/Group.”

BTS won again when it was snubbed by the Grammys – which released its list of nominations in November – but trended anyway on Twitter due to ARMY’s inability to accept the “robbery.”
Girl group Blackpink also trended multiple times over the course of the year for its various records and accolades, most notably, becoming the first K-pop group to have a music video hit one billion YouTube views.

Blackpink also trended due to thousands of Blinks (their fanbase name) alleging that the group’s label YG Entertainment was not marketing the group properly while in their career’s prime.
