History
During the 2000s and 2010s, the genres of J-pop, K-pop and C-pop began to spread to Western countries. K-pop spread to Southeast Asia and created a huge influence on the Filipino entertainment industry.

P-pop groups imitate many characteristics of J-pop, K-pop and C-pop to become famous, including: fashion style, choreography, music arrangement, etc. However, overseas music sales are not growing as quickly as expected. P-pop trending groups include: Bini, BGYO, SB19 and 1st.One.

In addition, the Japanese group AKB48 brand once decided to expand its reach to Philippines in 2018 and released the group MNL48.
