From cuties to hotties! Kyle and Darren ‘bestied’ so much in a goofy and sexy “GGV” episode

We’ve watched Kyle Echarri and Darren Espanto evolve from adorable young singers into two of today’s hottest performers. But while their voices, looks, and careers have changed over the years, their fun-loving personalities are still very much part of their charm. 

We got to see all that as they joined Vice Ganda on “Gandang Gabi Vice,” where they reminisced about their childhood, shared stories about their friendship, and treated viewers to a lot of entertaining moments.  

The Gen Z crushies looked back on their “The Voice Kids” days and how they grew from shy kids to confident artists, and got honest about their experience of having the whole world witness their awkward puberty phase. 

But of course, it wasn’t just their voices that changed over the years. Darren and Kyle also went through a stunning physical glow-up, going from little cuties to certified hotties.  

So, Vice Ganda challenged them to perform a hot-and-sexy version of “Bahay Kubo.” Well, the ladies in the studio went wild, as the guests sang and showed off their ‘kaldag’ moves. Gsng Gang Vince Maristela was also dared to join in. Sure, he was missing the right notes, but with a bod and moves like those, who was even paying attention to the singing? 

Even the most solid friendships come with a little drama. Just like any other pair of best friends, Darren and Kyle have their fair share of petty arguments, sometimes to the point that they stop talking because they get so annoyed with each other.  

But even though they get on each other’s nerves sometimes, there’s still so much they appreciate about their friendship. Despite all the teasing and petty arguments, they are each other’s safe space. More of this in the episode!  

During their guesting, Kyle also opened about a difficult chapter in his career when he faced intense bashing and had to watch his mom deal with it on his behalf.  

And what better way to end a fun ‘kulitan’ session than with a little friendly competition? Before they wrapped up their “GGV” episode, Darren and Kyle were challenged to a joke battle.
