The rising P-pop girl group G22, featuring members AJ, Alfea, and Jaz, has made significant strides since its debut in 2022.
Starting with their debut single “BANG!” and now becoming Acer’s newest brand ambassadors, the members of the girl group under Cornerstone Entertainment have experienced both highs and lows in their journey.
In a media conference after their performance at the Acer Day 2024 concert, the girls of G22 shared insights into their experiences as idols committed to pursuing their dreams.
“I think all [P-pop] groups experience struggles because, of course, it’s really hard,” said AJ, further sharing that while P-pop was steadily rising and thriving, the group couldn’t help but be doubtful of what the future had in store for them.
“There were times when we would think, ‘Is it worth it? Are we on the right path?’” AJ admitted.
Despite their doubts, the group was still adamant in giving their best in all of their performances. This determination in performing was what drove Acer to have them join their roster of brand ambassadors such as P-pop boy band SB19 and K-pop girl group 2NE1 member Sandara Park.
As brand ambassadors, G22 was a part of Acer’s #AcerU2024 Campus Bus campaign which had them perform in several malls in Metro Manila last July alongside SB19. Apart from this, they were also able to be a part of the recently concluded Acer Day 2024 concert where they got the chance to share the stage with SB19 and Sandara Park.
The group shared how their performance during the concert last Aug 4 was memorable as they also got the chance to perform not only their songs but also Park’s song “In or Out” together with her as well as their song “Limitless” with SB19, which they had released in collaboration with Acer and was written by the boy band’s member Pablo.
“It was so amazing the opportunity we have to collab with amazing artists and also have that stage for our songs to be performed on. We’re so grateful and it’s truly a milestone for us,” said Jaz.
With everything that they’ve been through, the trio expressed their realizations about how much they have changed from the people they were when they first debuted.
AJ shared how different they were from the girls who were still holding back from expressing who they were and were doubtful of where their careers would lead. Alfea said that there was a definite growth in her confidence that came with learning more about the industry. Jaz aired her surprise about how far they have come together as a group and their strengthened bond with each other.
“I didn’t know the possibilities of G22 and how strong we can fight, how much we can persevere with everything that we went through,” said Jaz.
The group teased that they have upcoming projects as Acer’s ambassadors which are set to be released soon. One of these projects includes the trio being featured in the Acer Ambassadors Mission video, which will showcase the girls in the different stages of their lives and their careers as well as how Acer’s AI technology was helpful in their growth as a group.
