Filipino girl group BINI, following their recent accolade from Billboard Philippines, views their success as a pivotal moment to foster the growth of P-pop. The group, consisting of Jhoanna, Aiah, Colet, Maloi, Gwen, Stacey, Mikha, and Sheena, received the Rising Star Award, an achievement that arrived just three months shy of their third anniversary in the music scene.
During the Billboard Philippines Women in Music awards held on March 22, BINI expressed profound gratitude for the recognition, emphasizing the inspiration it brings to elevate their craft and the entire P-pop industry. Mikha, one of the members, articulated the group’s sentiment, stating that the honor not only brings joy but also a sense of responsibility to aim higher and make a mark on international stages.
Jhoanna, BINI’s leader, echoed this sentiment, highlighting the significant duty they bear in representing the burgeoning P-pop community, especially during Women’s Month. Overwhelmed by the recognition, Jhoanna dedicated the award to their team, management, families, and fans, affectionately known as Blooms, asserting the group’s commitment to excel and champion P-pop globally.
Amidst their celebration, BINI also addressed societal perceptions, advocating for the dismantling of rigid beauty standards and the empowerment of women to showcase their abilities beyond physical appearance. The group’s dialogue on such issues underscores their role as influencers in the music industry and society, aiming to reshape narratives and promote inclusivity and diversity.
