History
In 2005, ShowBT has been operating a department specializing in education development and presenting participatory educational contents that combine various genres including literature and art.
Founder Jung Seong-han's long-time goal has been the "localization" of K-pop. It is the reason ShowBT introduced a new paradigm to the Southeast Asian cultural market through the production and distribution of cultural contents based on Hallyu (Korean wave).
"One big rationale behind SB19's unusual rise is the members' musical talent, which they have been polishing for three years before the debut. Everyone said I was insane to train them for such a lengthy period without making any money. But I launched SB19 after having the members practice singing and dancing for a song 1,000 times until they were impeccable." Jung told The Korea Times on Thursday at a restaurant in Hyehwa-dong, Seoul.
In July 2018, ShowBT Philippines receive permission to air Aja Aja Tayo! show on TV5 for 13 consecutive weeks. The first Korean show to receive permission on the free-to-air television in the Philippines.
In May 2018, ShowBT oversaw the 2018 Miss Korea Pageant regional preliminaries.
On November 10, 2021, ShowBT Philippines publicly launched SB19's sister group KAIA.
