SB19's music made its way onto the international dance stage as Jam Republic SEA took a Round 1 win over Auckland’s Royal Family on 20 September at the International Dance League Championship 2026 in Los Angeles.
Representing Southeast Asia, Jam Republic SEA brought the P-pop supergroup along for the ride, with SB19 tracks 'GENTO' and 'DAM' featuring in the crew’s incredible routine.
The Championship, held at the Shrine Expo Hall, marked the finale of the International Dance League’s inaugural season. The competition brought together six professional teams across five Series in New York, Vancouver, Sydney, Seoul, and Los Angeles, with points earned throughout the season determining the matchups for the Championship.
