‘Kaya na nila’: Get to know viral P-pop boy group PLAY Ph

Up-and-coming P-Pop boy group PLAY Ph has been making a name for themselves on social media following their viral guest appearance in a television show. The group is composed of six members –– Play Travis, Play Gab, Play James, Play Kenjie, Play Wesley, and Play Sean.

Formed by KMD Studios, the group is still currently training rigorously to hone their talent in vocals, dancing, and stage presence. While the group is set to make its official debut next year, they have amassed quite a following on their official social media accounts already –– more than 40,000 followers on Facebook and 4,000 followers on TikTok as of writing.

They recently won the PPop Community Male Star of the Night at the 2026 PPOP Music Awards.

The P-pop boy group hasn’t given much details about the positions of the members but the captain and co-captain positions were already given to Play Travis and Play Gab, respectively.

Based on their Facebook profile, the members hail from different parts of the country: Caloocan City for Play Gab, Quezon Province for Play Sean, Las Piñas City for Play Kenjie, Parañaque City for Play James, Cainta, Rizal for Play Wesley, and Batangas for Play Travis.

In a recent interview, Play James shared a glimpse of what their training looks like and how they prioritize in upskilling their vocals and dancing abilities. This was also seen in the video clips that Play Ph would upload on their social media accounts where the members are spotted training hard with their coaches.

“Yung training namin mahirap po kasi pag pumasok ka nga sa P-pop industry is alam naman natin na mahirap talaga ang training. Nag-tre-training kami ng 9 AM to 12 AM ganun katindi ang training namin. Kasama na yung dance and vocals namin,” Play James previously said.

The group was recently criticized by netizens who questioned their vocal delivery and stage performance for their song, “Crush Kita.” They have since then broken their silence about the performance and assured their fans that they will continue to train harder.

“Nag-viral nga kami, may part na nakakalungkot pero tumulong siya para mas mag-improve pa po kami at maka-inspire. Sa mga next guestings namin, asahan niyo na mas ibibigay namin ‘yung best namin,” Play Travis assured.

More details about PLAY Ph will unfold in the months to come as their official debut date nears.
