A-Pop sings "Aja! Asianovela", ABS-CBN's theme song for its upcoming Asianovelas

The group A-Pop, composed of Sam Concepcion, Jaco Benin, Nel Gomez and
Young JV, is singing "Aja! Asianovela", the official theme song for the collective Asianovelas coming very soon on ABS-CBN.

The official music video of "Aja! Asianovela" was shown earlier right
after TV Patrol and it also showed a teaser of the upcoming
Asianovelas on ABS-CBN.

With that theme song, it seems like the network is going to strengthen and solidify its claim as the first and true home of Asianovelas.

I knew all along that A-Pop was the one being referred to as "bagong mukha ng Asianovela" in a teaser shown long ago on ABS-CBN, but I thought they're gonna sing the theme song of "He's Beautiful". It
turned out though that the group is singing the theme for ABS-CBN's
Asianovela line-up.

Aside from "He's Beautiful", ABS-CBN will also air "My Fair Lady", "Down with Love", "I Love You So(Autumn's Concierto)" and Lee Min Ho-starring "Perfect Match".

But the question is: When is ABS-CBN going to air those Asianovelas?

The last time ABS-CBN aired an Asianovela on primetime was in 2009 and it was the hit Koreanovela "Boys Over Flowers." And the next to air is
"He's Beautiful" which has been long overdue already.

A lot of people have been waiting for "He's Beautiful" and finally it will air starting August 16, sadly not on primetime but on weekday afternoons.
