Fresh Take on Justin de Dios' Surprise Appearance in Alex Bruce's Music Video

SB19's youngest sensation, Justin de Dios, graced the screen in hip-hop newcomer Alex Bruce's music video for the love-laced anthem, "Yakap," which officially dropped on February 5.

The track oozes innocence, a Hallmark-worthy rap melody about the infatuation between Alex and her schoolboy crush, portrayed by none other than Justin.

The video stirs up the spirit of a run-of-the-mill young teen intimately smitten, toggling between solitary moments of Alex ensconced in her bedroom and a whimsical, dream-like narrative where she indulges in sweet, innocent escapades with the P-pop kingpin.

As Justin put it, "It's a zany and imaginative concept. I'm particularly fond of the way the MV highlights both the fiery and sugary-sweet facets of Alex."

"She has this charisma that's bound to catch A'tin's eye. I thought it could be inspiring for many aspiring youngsters if they get a glimpse of Alex," he added.

When it came to getting to know Alex, Justin admitted she was initially timid but they eventually hit it off: "She's a curious teenager, and we had some captivating conversations about trivial matters. One thing that stuck with me is her strong bond with her family. It's downright endearing!"

Alex echoed Justin's sentiments, claiming that working with him was a blast, mainly due to his warm and friendly demeanor.

"I'm a massive fan of Korean dramas, and Justin had this fresh-faced, all-American good looks that really stole the show: innocent and incredibly captivating. As a leading man, he truly outshone everyone effortlessly, and exhibited the charm we all crave," she said.

The whimsical video is an intimate portrayal of Alex, showcasing her artistic inclinations with her own Beanie Boo collections and paintings.

"I'm a fan of owls, and you'll notice plenty of them adorning my shelves in the video. I had a ball creating and displaying my art for the very first time. Here's hoping this isn't the last time!"

The single burst onto the scene in October 2020, birthed from a three-way collaboration between Alex, her Australia-based dad, and music producer Cursebox.
