Marking the final SB19 member to make a solo comeback this year, Josh Cullen is teasing an upcoming solo music release.

The P-pop idol took to social media on September 7, 2026, hinting at new music with a cryptic post captioned, “Heard you’ve been waiting for me.” The accompanying photo features a dark silhouette overlaid with glitching code, adding to the mystery surrounding his comeback.

Josh released his first solo music in 2023 with the single “WILD TONIGHT.” In 2024, he followed it up with his first-ever solo album, Lost & Found, which featured tracks including “1999,” “See Me,” “Silent Cries,” “Honest,” and “Sumaya.”

As a member of the Kings of P-pop, Josh is the last member of the group to tease a solo release this year. His fellow members began rolling out their own solo projects earlier in 2026, starting with Ken, also known as Felip, who released “SULFUR” in May.

This was followed by the group’s youngest member, Justin, who dropped his single “dahon” in June. Leader Pablo then released “USAD” in July, accompanied by a sold-out music showcase, the Middle: A Prelude, held at The Crossroad Center in Quezon City on July 17, 2026.

Most recently, SB19’s main vocalist Stell staged his own solo comeback with the single “Crazy,” along with a special live showcase on August 28, 2026.

The members’ solo releases come ahead of their label 1Z Entertainment’s upcoming music festival, ONE ZONE FEST, scheduled for October 24 to 25, 2026, at the Smart Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City. The Kings of P-pop will be joined by labelmates P-pop girl group XONARA, as well as choreographer and recording artist J2X.
