My first thought was, &#8216;What should we talk about?'&#8221; she wrote in Mandarin, as translated into English.<\/p>\n<p>She also spoke more about the themes of &#8220;Emoji,&#8221; which was all about wanting to express emotions but using symbols.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve also found myself often hiding unspoken, even subconscious, emotions in a seemingly harmless emoji,&#8221; Jolin said. &#8220;So, during our first online meeting, I typed &#8217;emoji Social Fake,&#8217; and they almost simultaneously nodded.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It turns out we&#8217;re all the same. Sometimes, hiding behind symbols, we feel a little tired and embarrassed by that compressed version of ourselves,&#8221; she added.<\/p>\n<p>Jolin also expressed gratitude to SB19 for their energy and enthusiasm when they met in person.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Special thanks to Ken for always generously throwing out heart emojis during the arrangement and production process, giving me the warmest support and responses for revisions,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>SB19 released their new album, &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gmanetwork.com\/news\/lifestyle\/hobbiesandactivities\/981582\/sb19-drops-new-album-wakas-at-simula-mv-teaser-for-emoji\/story\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Wakas at Simula<\/a>,&#8221; on March 27.\u00a0 It combines the tracks from the group&#8217;s EP trilogy, &#8220;Pagsibol,&#8221; &#8220;Pagtatag,&#8221; and &#8220;Simula at Wakas.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It also includes six new songs, including &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gmanetwork.com\/news\/lifestyle\/hobbiesandactivities\/981658\/sb19-enters-metaverse-in-emoji-mv-ft-jolin\/story\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Emoji<\/a>,&#8221; and &#8220;Toyfriend,&#8221; a collaboration with J-Pop group Be:First.<\/p>\n<p>SB19 appeared at the Dance Universe Never Killed or the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gmanetwork.com\/news\/lifestyle\/content\/980169\/sb19-be-first-toyfriend-dunk-showcase\/story\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">DUNK Showcase<\/a> in Japan earlier this March, along with Cup of Joe and BGYO.<\/p>\n<p>The group is set to hold their &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gmanetwork.com\/news\/lifestyle\/content\/980935\/sb19-wakas-at-simula-concert-additional-seats\/story\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Wakas at Simula: The Trilogy Finale<\/a>&#8221; on April 18 at the SMDC Festival Grounds.<\/p>\n<p>They are also set to perform at Lollapalooza 2026, which will be held in Chicago, Illinois, from July 30 to August 2, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gmanetwork.com\/news\/lifestyle\/hobbiesandactivities\/981305\/sb19-to-perform-at-japan-s-summer-sonic-festival-2026-in-august\/story\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Summer Sonic<\/a> in Japan on August 15.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014Nika Roque\/MGP, GMA Integrated News<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Published March 29, 2026 5:13pm Add GMA on Google Make this your preferred source to get more updates&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":371526,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[93,61,60,166674,278,166673],"class_list":{"0":"post-371525","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-music","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-ie","10":"tag-ireland","11":"tag-jolin","12":"tag-music","13":"tag-sb19"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/371525","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=371525"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/371525\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/371526"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=371525"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=371525"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=371525"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
