In a world full of people who do everything to follow the trend, Pablo is the one person who always stands out. From how he carries himself, talks, and thinks to how he dresses, he is recognizable for being unique.

When he was starting, many expected him to be just like all the idols we've all seen: sexy, vain, with lean muscles, and with a name that is always associated with hotness and ladies. There's nothing wrong with that, but it had been used so often that it had already become predictable. From the KPOP scene, where idols were reportedly forbidden to date while still under management, to the current scandals, many certainly look at the PPOP scene with the same scrutiny. Fortunately, SB19, especially Pablo, has always been vocal that he will never be the typical idol. Time and time again, he had proven that he would remain true to his words.
Pablo's fashion speaks volumes of how much he wants to break from the norm. Acceptance is never easy; it takes time, sometimes a very long time, before people accept what they aren't used to, but Pinuno was never afraid to stray from what the world had gotten used to. Have you seen a man who could rock a long skirt like him? Time and time again, he had proven that not all clothes are gender conformist and that even a man can use a woman's clothing to look stylish.
This rebellious attitude is evident in the kind of music he released. With his talent, he could easily make something the general public would accept, but that was never the Pablo Way. Even his most laid-back track to date, Edsa, Pablo gave us a meaningful song full of hope. His wordplay and double entendres have always been present in all of his songs. The way he writes lyrics is like a beautiful painting on a canvas, full of colors and stories.
Determinado is one of those songs that is so beautifully written that just listening to it would give you a much-needed drive to keep going in life. It tells us that simply knowing what we must do is never enough. We need sheer determination, focus, drive, and the guts to do what it takes to accomplish our goals. In order to reach our destination, we must learn to navigate away from all the things that would only weigh us down.
And who would forget Pablo's first brainchild as a solo artist? La Luna is that song that would make you realize that you are your worst enemy. The song tells us to look in the mirror and see ourselves. Are we being true to ourselves? Are we being real? Why are we afraid to break free from what's been holding us down? In Lycanthropy, it is believed that the more you fight the pain as your body shifts to its wolf form, the more it hurts. You have to let the pain take over and for your mind to get lost in the blissful agony. Just like a werewolf in transition, we tend to fight who we truly are and shy away from what we could actually do because we're afraid. Stop being scared and let it all out.
Pablo is the definition of non-conformity. From his looks, how he carries himself, the songs he brings to the world, and how he approaches things. It is the kind of rebelliousness we all need. Going with the flow is the safest way to go, but it is never the most satisfying. Challenge life, break free from what is expected of you, get out of your comfort zone, and show the world how uniquely beautiful you are.
