Hybe’s Latin Boy Group Santos Bravos Kicks Off Korean Promotions with Live Performance on Bae Cheol-soo’s Music Camp
Santos Bravos, the dynamic Latin boy group launched under Hybe, officially commenced their Korean promotional activities with an impactful live performance on the popular radio show, “Bae Cheol-soo’s Music Camp.” Their appearance made a strong impression, signaling an exciting new chapter for the group.
Following their arrival in South Korea on April 4th, the talented group made their much-anticipated appearance on the long-running and iconic radio program hosted by veteran broadcaster Bae Cheol-soo on Wednesday.
During their captivating segment, Santos Bravos delivered a powerful performance of “Velocidade,” one of the double main tracks from their highly anticipated debut EP, “Dual.” Their setlist also included the emotive ballad “FE,” a special acoustic rendition of their debut track “0%,” and a crowd-pleasing cover of “Everybody” by the legendary Backstreet Boys, showcasing their versatile musical range.
In an engaging interview, Santos Bravos delved into the unique identity and profound concept underpinning their group. They explained that their name, “Santos Bravos,” is designed to embody the inherent duality present within every individual. “Santo” symbolizes a gentler, more emotional, and youthful aspect, while “Bravo” conveys a passionate, intense, and courageous persona. This compelling theme of duality was also the creative inspiration behind the title of their debut EP, “Dual.”
When questioned about the rigors and challenges of undergoing a comprehensive K-pop-style training system, the members unanimously described it as an invaluable and formative experience. “It profoundly helped us grow into better individuals,” the group shared, emphasizing their deep sense of responsibility as a pioneering Latin pop group developed through the robust K-pop methodology. They affirmed their unwavering commitment to delivering their absolute best in every endeavor.
This visit marked their first time in Korea, and the members expressed genuine enthusiasm for actively immersing themselves in the local culture. Member Alejandro happily recounted enjoying a wide array of delicious Korean foods, including classic dishes like kimchi and bulgogi. Gabi playfully remarked that the entire experience felt akin to being a new student at school, sharing his aspirations to diligently improve their Korean language skills.
The talented members further elaborated on their diverse musical influences. Member Kaue proudly named his singer mother and global sensation BTS as significant role models, highlighting his enduring passion for music and K-pop. Youngest member Kenneth drew inspiration from Bruno Mars for his captivating stage presence and distinctive style, alongside the legendary Luis Miguel, admired for his exceptional vocal ability. These influences shape the unique sound of Santos Bravos.
