Hybe Latin America has set Santos Bravos as the title of their new music project and the name of the all-male music group that emerges from the reality series.
The series will follow 16 rising Latin talents from Mexico, Colombia, Brazil, Venezuela, Argentina, Peru, Spain, and the United States as they showcase their abilities in hopes of making the cut in being part of a new Latin pop group.
Santos Bravos officially begins today with the launch of official social media platforms (@santos_bravos), where fans will be able to follow the boys’ journey from the beginning.

Starting in August, the 16 artists will enter a creative boot camp designed to challenge and refine their musical, emotional, and performance abilities. The entire journey will be captured through an interactive, digital-first experience, as well as in long-form episodes that offer an intimate window into the process.
“Our goal is not just to create a group, but to guide young Latin artists through a real transformation — artistically and personally. Santos Bravos is about authenticity, emotion, and connection,” said Bang Si-Hyuk, Chairman of HYBE.
