During their intimate pocket interview at Coffee Project cafe in Quezon City, JM revealed they want to showcase their group by bringing a fresh vibe to P-pop.

"Since we are a boy band, we want to find that balance and showcase kung ano yung talent namin as a group. Kasi yung P-pop scene po ngayon is naka focus more on dancing, so kami gusto lang namin magbigay ng fresh start sa P-pop na showcase lang namin yung more on singing," JM said.

(We want to find that balance and showcase our talent since we are a boy band. Because the P-pop scene today is focused more on dancing, so we want to give a fresh start to P-pop by showcasing more on the singing part)

Being products of the reality TV show "Dream Maker," the boys shared that the training and preparations were worth the wait.

"Actually yung nagstick po talaga na advice sa amin when we started on show is trust the process po talaga, and yung prayers and manifestations always works po sa lahat ng bagay," Pan said.

(The advice that stuck with us when we started on the show was to trust the process; prayers and manifestations always work in everything.)

1621BC consists of members Pan, Win, Migz, DJ, JM, and JC. The number 1621 pertains to the angel number manifestation that one's desires and goals are beginning to come true, while BC stands for Beyond Complete, which means that the group always aims for perfection.

"Being a new boy band in the P-pop scene, we only have one goal and that is to introduce our songs and music that will make everyone cry, smile, celebrate, dance, and sing like it used to be before," the group said.

Making their way on the music scene, 1621BC also launched their debut single, "Laruan,” which was composed and produced by ALAS; tackles the toxicity of a relationship and protecting oneself from dealing with heartbreaks.

“Sa generation namin ngayon madami kasi na maling akala at taong paasa kaya no’ng narinig namin yung song, it has become a valid awareness of what is the reality of a relationship nowadays especially with our generation,” 1621BC shared.

(In our generation today, many misconceptions and people give hope, so when we heard the song, it became a valid awareness of what is the reality of a relationship nowadays, especially with our generation)

As they released their debut single and marked the beginning of their journey in the music scene, the group felt mixed emotions looking back on how their efforts and hard work paid off.
