Global Filipina artist GEHLEE has stepped into a new chapter as one of the housemates on Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab 3.0, just days after debuting her first solo digital single, “Closer.” Her return to the Philippines and appearance on the hit reality series marks a homecoming for the singer, whose journey has taken her from international competition stages to the local spotlight.
GEHLEE rose to fame as a top contender in the South Korean survival show Universe Ticket, earning a spot in the global girl group UNIS. Since debuting with the group in March 2024, she has performed on international platforms, gaining both experience and a dedicated fanbase abroad.
Her decision to return to the Philippines in late September 2026 signals a new focus on her career as a solo artist. The move is accompanied by the release of “Closer,” which quickly gained traction on digital charts—debuting at No. 4 and peaking at No. 2 on iTunes Philippines and landing in several key Spotify playlists, including All New OPM and OPM Rising.
Now a housemate on PBB: Celebrity Collab 3.0, Gehlee is set to share more of her story beyond the stage, giving audiences a glimpse into her personality, values, and life experiences. In her official PBB photo, she proudly wears pieces from Kaayo Modern Mindanao, paying tribute to the rich heritage and craftsmanship of Mindanaoan artisans.
The release of “Closer” represents a milestone in Gehlee’s artistic evolution. Building on her success with UNIS, she explores her musical identity as a solo performer and offers fans a more intimate connection through her music and reality TV appearances.
Filipino audiences can follow Gehlee’s unfolding journey inside the Pinoy Big Brother house and stream her digital single “Closer” on all major music platforms, with the official music video available via Universal Records Philippines’ YouTube channel.
