Seoul: Hybe's new Latin American boy band, Santos Bravos, has officially launched their career with a sold-out concert in Mexico City, the company said Thursday. The multinational group -- composed of Drew, Alejandro, Kenneth, Kaue, and Gabi -- performed their debut single, "0%," to a packed audience at the Auditorio Nacional on Wednesday (local time).
According to Yonhap News Agency, the debut was also livestreamed on YouTube, attracting over 70,000 viewers who tuned in for the occasion. Santos Bravos is the first major project from Hybe Latin America, formed earlier this year through a competitive audition program. Their creation is a key part of Hybe's global strategy of fusing the K-pop production and training system with local cultures to cultivate international talent.
Following their selection, the members underwent six months of intensive K-pop style training, honing their skills in vocals, dance, and stage performance for the debut.
