SANTOS BRAVOS is a latin boy group, formed through the reality show Santos Bravos: La Serie, produced by HYBE Latin America and HYBE. The group is composed of five members, each one being from a different country: Alejandro (Peru), Drew (U.S), Gabi (Puerto Rico), Kauê (Brazil) and Kenneth (Mexico). Before their official debut, they released the pre-debut single “0%” on October 21, 2025. On July 9, 2025, HYBE Latin America announced the launch of the Santos Bravos music project. Initially, this project brought together 16 boys from Mexico, Colombia, Brazil, Venezuela, Argentina, Peru, Spain, and the United States. The goal was to debut an exclusively male Latin group. This marked the first time that HYBE had brought its artistic development system to Latin America. Santos Bravos: La Serie premiered on August 14, 2025. The live finale aired on October 21, and five boys debuted as SANTOS BRAVOS. The members were announced offstage, and revealed to the public during the performance and the release of the single "0%". Eliminations did not occur in every episode of the reality show, but in the first episode in which they occurred, the seventeenth contestant, representing Puerto Rico, was also introduced. During the behind-the-scenes reveal of the final members, the first chosen was Kauê, who "won us over with his voice." The second was Gabi, who "arrived late but made an impact." The third was Alejandro, who "showed us that believing in yourself can take you very far." Drew was the fourth member chosen "He felt that this was his last chance, that it was all or nothing, and he gave it his all". The fifth and final contestant was Kenneth, who "showed us discipline and maturity." As the group approached its one-month anniversary on November 20, they announced the release of the Portuguese version of the song "0%" on Instagram Reels. Their first EP, "Dual" including the previous released singles, "0%" and "Kawasaki" was released on March 13, 2026.
