The newest P-Pop group, WRIVE, has arrived and is making their presence known this early with their hit singles, &quot;Ooh La La&quot; and &quot;Señorita.&quot; The group sat down for an interview earlier this week at the Star Magic Spotlight Presscon where they shared how close their bond is due to the experiences they all had.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=US9rL5T7w-A&amp;ab_channel=StarMagic WRIVE is a five-member boy group which consists of Asi, Ishiro, Russu, Drei, and Mathew. All of them were former contestants of the idol survival show Dream Maker where they didn’t make it to the final cut of the boy group that was formed then.  <div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/music/2025/7/21/exclusive-wrive-talks-about-songwriting-experiences-working-with-jeremy-g-bgyo-1333">READ: EXCLUSIVE: WRIVE talks about songwriting experiences, working with Jeremy G and BGYO</a></div>All five members of WRIVE came from various backgrounds–– one did boxing, one was a former The Voice Teens contestant, one was a professional dancer, and one dabbled in acting. For WRIVE’s Ishiro, this helped them create the path they want to make in the music industry. From their experiences in the past, they have made a story that is uniquely theirs alone.“Na mix namin yung different paths namin before and now we have arrived. Kumbaga, magegets sa storyline namin, sa background namin, and sa kung ano yung mga maipapakita namin. Makikita pa ng mga tao very soon,” Ishiro shared.<div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/music/2025/7/20/-no-longer-pre-debut-wrive-officially-enters-the-p-pop-scene-1059" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">READ: ‘No Longer Pre-Debut’: WRIVE officially enters the P-pop scene</a></div>Member Asi added that while everyone in the P-Pop industry could sing and dance, what sets them apart is the foundation they’ve built. Coming from a survival show, he shared how all members of WRIVE wanted the second chance that was given to them through this group.“Knowing na yung iba’t-ibang groups, may kanya kanyang strengths, parang sa pagkakakita ko hindi rin talaga natin maseseparate yung group natin sa ibang group. What makes us unique siguro is yung foundation–– kung saan kami nag mula–– at yung bond na meron kami,” Asi said.“From reality show na hindi nanalo, so second chance ito na pinagpatuloy namin. At the same time, kami kami talaga yung gusto mag kakasama na haharapin yung pangarap na yun. That’s what makes us unique siguro,” he added. True enough, the passion and the uniqueness the five members are seen through the two debut singles of WRIVE that is out on all music streaming platforms now.

From a heartbreaking loss on a reality survival show, WRIVE members are testaments that a second chance is possible with the right mindset.
