From a reality show to international stages in under a year.
Santos Bravos was formed by Hybe Latin America through a self-titled reality series. The project brought contestants from Latin America and the United States through a structured selection process of vocal, dance, and performance evaluations. Five members were selected to form Hybe Latin America's first idol group.
On October 21, 2025, they made their official debut at the Auditorio Nacional in Mexico City with the single "0%". A Brazilian Portuguese version followed on November 25.
Santos Bravos performed "0%" at Willy Chavarria's Paris Fashion Week show, wearing pieces from the Chavarria x Adidas collaboration. On January 30, they released the single "Kawasaki" — a high-energy track with lyrics in Spanish, Portuguese, and English.
The group first performed "Kawasaki" live at the 2026 Premio Lo Nuestro Awards, where they were nominated for Male New Artist of the Year. A remix of "Kawasaki" featuring Japanese group &Team was released on February 20.
Santos Bravos released their first extended play Dual on March 13, with six tracks including four new songs. They launched the documentary series detrás de Dual on Spotify and YouTube. A collaboration with H&M titled Los Favoritos de Santos Bravos followed.
Santos Bravos traveled to South Korea to promote and perform on major music shows including M Countdown, Music Bank, Show! Music Core, and Inkigayo. They also performed on Bae Cheol-soo's Music Camp.
After performing at Festival Estéreo Picnic (Bogotá), Tecate Pa'l Norte (Monterrey), Inkigayo ON THE GO (Incheon), Empire Music Festival (Guatemala City), and Tecate Emblema (Mexico City), the group is scheduled for KCON LA at the Crypto.com Arena on August 14, 2026.
