The Round Festival is the official name and brand of the ASEAN-Korea Music Festival project, with the program intended to promote exchanges between Korea and ASEAN countries through the use of popular music across both regions. According to the festival’s site, the festival was developed with the intention to “connect the hearts and minds of music lovers with the emotions, joy, memories, and everything that can be delivered through music.”
Just earlier this year, 1st.One released their latest single “ALAM MO BA,” which follows their previous singles from 2024 — “Wala Ng Iba” and “Paalam Na.” In addition to the two tracks, they also released a soul rendition of “Wala Ng Iba.”
The P-pop boy group recently attended Billboard Philippines‘ P-pop Rising class party, which saw the likes of fellow rising P-pop acts like BGYO, G22, ALAMAT, KAIA, VXON, GAT, YARA, and several others.
