"At first po, we were all pretty down. But as a group, we all encouraged each other and right now po, we are so excited and happy po that it opened so many doors for us that we didn't expect po," Sean said.
Kenji also explained that their physical condition may have affected their performance. According to him, the group had attended several guest appearances in the days leading up to that particular performance, leaving them exhausted.
"Hindi rin po kami physically ready po that time since marami-rami rin po kasi kaming naging guesting in the past few days noong araw na 'yon. Medyo tired po, pagod din po 'yung katawan namin. Mas ipapa-better pa rin po namin sa susunod na mga performance namin," he shared.
Meanwhile, James discussed the demanding preparation required of them as members of the P-pop industry. He revealed that their training sessions could last from 9 a.m. until midnight, covering both their dancing and vocal development.
"'Yung training po namin mahirap po kasi 'pag pumasok ka nga po sa P-pop industry is alam naman na po natin na mahirap talaga ang training. Nagte-training po kami ng 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 a.m. po, ganu'n po katindi 'yung training. Kasama na po ro'n 'yung dance at saka vocals namin," James explained.
Gab also recalled how the group was formed through auditions. He revealed that they initially had nearly 10 members before the lineup was eventually reduced to six.
"Dati po marami po kami, almost 10 po kami. Hanggang sa kami na lang po natirang anim."
Despite the criticism, the members are determined to use the experience as an opportunity to improve. Travis shared that while going viral came with some difficult moments, it also encouraged them to work harder and inspire others.
"Sa mga next plans po namin, syempre po nag-viral po kami, may part po na nakakalungkot, pero tumulong po siya para mas mag-improve pa po kami and maka-inspire po.
"So sa mga next guestings po namin, asahan niyo po na mas ibibigay po namin 'yung best namin."
With their latest appearance on KALURKS!, Play PH showed their willingness to address the criticism while remaining focused on their growth as performers. The group also expressed their determination to deliver better performances in their upcoming appearances.
PLAY PH is an emerging six-member Filipino P-pop boy group composed of Travis Landicho, Gab Alegria, James Punay, Kenjie Bedeo, Wesley Francisco, and Sean Aldridge, formed under KMD Studios and known for their intensive vocal and dance training ahead of their planned official debut in January 2027. They became an overnight online sensation after their live performance of their original song “Crush Kita” on PTV's Rise and Shine Pilipinas drew mixed reactions over their vocals and choreography, with the group later addressing the criticism and using the experience as motivation to improve.
In another report, Baby Doll Juby recalled how the controversy involving Donny Pangilinan brought her to what she described as her “rock bottom.” She viewed the experience as a valuable lesson not only for herself but also for her girl group as they learned from the situation. Juby also revealed that the management teams on both sides had already communicated about the issue and were now moving forward. Donny previously clarified that he was not offended by her remarks and did not believe she intended any harm.
Meanwhile, Denise Julia voiced her support for Filipino performers amid conversations about the requirements for Grammy recognition. The singer stressed that local artists deserve opportunities to showcase their abilities and receive acknowledgment on the international stage. Her statement came after questions arose about BINI’s possible eligibility for the 2027 Grammy Awards. The discussion intensified when a netizen questioned the group’s credentials by pointing out that they had not received awards from South Korean music shows.
