Felip Jhon Suson, also known as Ken of SB19, has truly become a bias wrecker for many fans. His raw honesty and emotional performance during the “Pagtatag” concert showcased the depth of his character and dedication. While SB19 as a group is incredibly talented and beloved, Felip’s sincerity and spiritual depth have struck a unique chord with fans worldwide.

During the “Pagtatag” concert, even through an online screen, Felip’s sincerity was palpable. His gratitude was so genuine that it brought many to tears. Known as a man of few words, Felip’s actions and expressions spoke volumes about his dedication to his craft. Vogue magazine once described him as having the soul of a worship song leader from a young age, and you can feel that spiritual depth in his music. Songs like “Kanako” reflect a deep sense of gratitude to the Divine, resonating as a modern-day worship song.

Felip’s journey hasn’t been easy. With only 1,000 pesos, he ventured to Metro Manila, leaving his family behind. The risks were immense, and the sacrifices were even greater. During the concert, seeing his relatives there to witness his success was a poignant moment, emphasizing the importance of sharing one’s hard-earned triumphs with loved ones. The road to success, as Pablo from SB19 has often mentioned, is fraught with struggles. There were times so tough that they even contemplated returning to their previous office jobs. The relentless criticism and bashing they face daily is the flip side of the love and support they receive.

Felip’s performance of “Liham” during the concert was particularly moving. His overwhelming emotions and gratitude towards the fans flowed naturally, creating a powerful and unforgettable moment. Known for his tough exterior, Felip’s heartfelt expressions revealed his soft and deeply appreciative heart. His gratitude was so profound that words failed him, and he was moved to tears. This genuine display of emotion endeared him even more to fans worldwide.

Ken’s philosophy that you don’t have to understand the song to feel it rings true. Even if you don’t speak Bisaya, the emotion in his music transcends language barriers. Every SB19 fan watching that moment likely wanted to rush to the stage and give him a huge hug.

Felip Jhon Suson is more than just a talented artist; he is a spiritual and heartfelt soul who has won the hearts of fans all over the world. His journey, his struggles, and his genuine gratitude make him an inspiration to many. Here’s to hoping that SB19 stays together forever, continuing to touch hearts and inspire through their music.
