<p>Actor-singer Carlos Agassi revealed the reason why his former musical group, The Hunks, disbanded. In a TikTok video, he explained that it just seemed a more practical move for them to disband as other members wanted a different take on their career.</p><p>The Hunks were a five-member group consisting of Carlos, Piolo Pascual, Jericho Rosales, Diether Ocampo, and Bernard Palanca. The quintet were ABS-CBN’s five stars in the 2000s that sang and danced in concerts, both in and out of the country.</p><div><br/></div><blockquote cite="https://www.tiktok.com/@amircarlosagassi/video/7474330991767735560" class="tiktok-embed" data-video-id="7474330991767735560" id="v34506922902695170" style="max-width:605px;min-width:325px"><section><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@amircarlosagassi?refer=embed" target="_blank" title="@amircarlosagassi">@amircarlosagassi</a> Nagkikita pa ba kayo ng hunks or ibang artista na matagal mo nakasama at katrabaho? <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/tag/carlosagassi?refer=embed" target="_blank" title="carlosagassi">#Carlosagassi</a> <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/music/original-sound-Carlos-Agassi-7474331039486905089?refer=embed" target="_blank" title="♬ original sound  - Carlos Agassi">♬ original sound - Carlos Agassi</a></section><iframe name="__tt_embed__v34506922902695170" sandbox="allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox allow-scripts allow-top-navigation allow-same-origin" src="https://www.tiktok.com/embed/v2/7474330991767735560?lang=en-US&amp;referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com%2F%23%2Fworkspace%2Fmonitoring%3Fitem%3Durn%3Anewsml%3Aod2-workbench-api.abs-cbn.com%3A2025-02-24T05%3A15%3A29.768276%3A0c5a7228-c570-4202-b2fc-b55b523530a9%26action%3Dedit" style="width:0px;height:0px;display:none;visibility:hidden"></iframe></blockquote><script async="" src="https://www.tiktok.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><blockquote cite="https://www.tiktok.com/@amircarlosagassi/video/7474332654716947720" class="tiktok-embed" data-video-id="7474332654716947720" id="v98499346482751090" style="max-width:605px;min-width:325px"><section><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@amircarlosagassi?refer=embed" target="_blank" title="@amircarlosagassi">@amircarlosagassi</a><div><br/></div><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/music/original-sound-Carlos-Agassi-7474332704574556929?refer=embed" target="_blank" title="♬ original sound  - Carlos Agassi">♬ original sound - Carlos Agassi</a></section><iframe name="__tt_embed__v98499346482751090" sandbox="allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox allow-scripts allow-top-navigation allow-same-origin" src="https://www.tiktok.com/embed/v2/7474332654716947720?lang=en-US&amp;referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com%2F%23%2Fworkspace%2Fmonitoring%3Fitem%3Durn%3Anewsml%3Aod2-workbench-api.abs-cbn.com%3A2025-02-24T05%3A15%3A29.768276%3A0c5a7228-c570-4202-b2fc-b55b523530a9%26action%3Dedit" style="width:0px;height:0px;display:none;visibility:hidden"></iframe></blockquote><script async="" src="https://www.tiktok.com/embed.js"></script><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/2020/9/30/fresh-scoops/carlos-agassi-proud-of-non-showbiz-girlfriend-sari-188531"><strong>READ: Carlos Agassi proud of non-showbiz girlfriend Sarina Yamamoto<br/></strong></a></div><p>Carlos was asked by a fan if they still see each other despite not being in the same group any longer.</p><p>“Guys kaya nga nabuwag kasi gusto ng kanya-kanyang career ng iba kasi ka ‘pag group, pantay-pantay kami sa –– sa exposure, sa TF (talent fee), sa career.
