The Nation’s Girl Group, BINI, addressed various criticisms from bashers, including claims that they wouldn’t achieve success, that they are not beautiful, and that they are merely imitating K-Pop.
Despite the negativity, BINI has worked hard to reach their current level of fame, and each member possesses unique beauty and personality, making them stand out in the industry.
During their guest appearance on ‘Fast Talk with Boy Abunda’, the Kapamilya girl group fearlessly responded to controversial questions, including the constant social media bashing they receive.
“Sa mga nagsabi na hindi kami sisikat, thank you so much for inspiring us. Kasi sila talaga ‘yung nag-push sa amin. Sila ‘yung nag-inspire para mag-work harder kami,” said BINI’s Stacey.
She further added, “At the end of the day, meron pa rin ‘yung affected kami pero hindi kami magpapatalo. Mga dummy account lang ‘yung mga ‘yan na nagtatago. So deadma.”
Regarding accusations that they are merely mimicking K-Pop, BINI’s Colet expressed her sentiments: “Siyempre po, nakaka-sad. Kasi meron naman po tayong sariling atin.
“But at the same time, parang hindi po siya masama. Kasi lahat naman po tayo, I’m sure, hindi lang po ang BINI, nai-influence sa K-pop, and naka-i-influence sa isa’t isa, ‘yung ibang grupo rin po. So, I mean, okay lang po siya,” she explained.
Addressing the claim that they lack talent, BINI’s Gwen offered a constructive response: “Sa mga nagsasabi po na hindi kami magaling, we respect your opinion, but if you can make constructive criticisms na lang po, rather than generic statements para mas matulungan po kami mag-improve. Mas okay po ‘yun.”

On allegations that BINI lip-syncs during their concerts, BINI’s Jhoanna fired back: “Palagi po talagang may ganyang comments po. Kahit magkanda-piyok-piyok ka na, ‘Lip-sync pa rin!’
“Juice ko! Opo, pero, well, hindi naman po namin mapi-please lahat. And, kaming BINI, hindi naman po kami nag-training for two straight years para mag-lip-sync once na ma-debut kami,” she defended.
She further elaborated, “Hindi kami nakakauwi po eh. Lahat ng sacrifices po ginawa namin. Siyempre, we always deliver live not just the performance, but also an experience.
“Kasi ginagastusan po kami ng ibang tao and ayaw naman namin po magbigay ng half-baked na performance po. So lahat po na nakikita niyo is pinaghirapan po namin ‘yan and live po lahat ng ‘yan,” she emphasized.
BINI’s Sheena also addressed the comments regarding their looks: “Well, beauty is subjective. And feeling namin, if we don’t fit into their standards, then it’s fine. Pero naman sa mga taong nagagandahan naman sa amin but still choose to bash us, then it’s also fine, you know?
“It’s not something na nakaka-affect sa amin. Kasi everyday we’re surrounded by people who always remind us that we are beautiful,” she shared.
BINI’s Mikha responded to accusations that they have become arrogant due to their rising fame: “I’d like to say na, nako po, hindi po kami mayabang at all. And sa mga nagsasabing snob kami, hindi naman. Hindi lang namin mangitihan lahat. Hindi namin matingnan lahat sa mata or like, mag-hi sa lahat.
“And siyempre, if nasa labas kami under like, incognito mode, siyempre, we want to like, be private. Like, you know, siyempre, sometimes we won’t make like, show na, ah, it’s BINI Mikha na or like, ganu’n.
“Kasi, siyempre, baka it will cause a commotion pa in the mall or something like that,” she explained.
Finally, BINI’s Aiah addressed concerns about their supporters invading their privacy, stating, “‘Yung fans po namin, Blooms po very respectful po naman.”
BINI continues to rise in popularity, known for their hit tracks ‘Pantropiko’, ‘Karera’, and ‘Salamin, Salamin’.
