Santos Bravos is a Latin boy band created through the HYBE Latin America reality show Santos Bravos: La Serie, which brought together 16–17 contestants from across Latin America, the United States and Spain in 2025 to compete under a K-pop–style trainee system of intensive vocal and dance training. Formed in Mexico City, the final lineup revealed at the Auditorio Nacional on 21 October 2025 consisted of five members: Peruvian singer-songwriter Alejandro Aramburú, Brazilian vocalist Kauê Penna, Puerto Rican–American performer Gabi Bermúdez, Mexican singer-actor Kenneth Lavíll and U.S.–Mexican vocalist-dancer Drew Venegas. During the series the trainees performed covers and original material in live stages while working with high-profile mentors including creative director Kenny Ortega, producer Johnny Goldstein and international vocal coaches. Immediately after the final, Santos Bravos signed with HYBE Latin America and released their debut single “0%” on 21 October 2025, a bilingual pop track that blended Latin rhythms with contemporary global pop production and served as the focus of their first concert at the Auditorio Nacional before more than 10,000 fans and a large livestream audience.
