After months of anticipation, HYBE Latin America has officially introduced its newest music group: Santos Bravos. The five-member boy band was revealed during a high-energy concert in Mexico City, marking the end of a rigorous selection process that blended K-pop’s training model with Latin flair.
The group—made up of Kenneth Laville, Kauê Penna, Gaby Bermúdez, Alejandro Arámburo, and Drew Venegas—was formed through a televised competition that aired on YouTube. Over a dozen finalists were narrowed down to five, each chosen for their talent, charisma, and potential to redefine Latin pop.
🎤 A Debut with Impact
Santos Bravos didn’t waste time stepping into the spotlight. Shortly after their formation, they appeared at Billboard Latin Music Week in Miami, where they performed, participated in panels, and introduced their first line of merch. It was a whirlwind debut that showcased their versatility—not just as performers, but as personalities ready to connect with fans.
Their presence at the event signaled HYBE’s commitment to expanding its global reach, adapting its successful K-pop formula to the Latin music scene. And if the crowd’s reaction is any indication, Santos Bravos is already striking a chord.
🌎 Why They Matter
Santos Bravos represents a new wave of Latin pop—one that’s polished, global, and deeply fan-driven. With HYBE’s backing and a built-in audience from their reality show, the group is poised to disrupt the genre and bring fresh energy to the charts.
Their formation also reflects a broader shift in how boy bands are built: not just through industry deals, but through public participation, storytelling, and digital engagement. Santos Bravos isn’t just a band—they’re a movement.
