The popularity of Filipino boy group SB19's song "Gento" from its "Pagtatag!" EP is still soaring, even in countries outside the Philippines.

According to an SB19 fan account, Chinese group BlackACE danced to the P-Pop group's hit song "Gento" during the New Year's Eve celebration in Beijing, China.

Fan cam videos of members Wang Di and Tian Shuchen during their "Gento" performance were shared on social media.

To note, BlackACE member Tian Shuchen and Chinese singer-actor Dai Jing Yao also performed SB19's "Gento" at a Christmas Eve event in Beijing, China, per another fan account @Ashinumura.

Their Christmas Eve performance was originally posted on Weibo, one of the biggest social media platforms in China.

BlackACE is an eight-member boy group that debuted under Cool Entertainment in May 2019 with its self-titled EP. However, the group eventually disbanded in March 2021 after being active for two years, per C-Pop Wiki.

Former members of the group include AJ Lai, Chen Shun, Long Honghao, Shang Zhenbo, Tian Shuchen, Wang Di, Yang Tong and Zhao Pinlin.

Compared to the original version by SB19's leader and 1Z Entertainment CEO Pablo with his co-producers Joshua Daniel Nase and Simon Servida, 6IN1's version featured a hypnotic vibe similar to the sounds of a snake charmer's flute.
