‘HYBE Latin pop group’ Santos Bravos demonstrated its rapid growth by winning two awards at a major Latin popular culture ceremony.
On the 3rd local time, Santos Bravos won trophies in the “Favorite Group or Duo of the Year (Grupo o Dúo Favorito del Año)” and “New Generation Male (Nueva Generación Masculina)” categories at the 23rd Premios Juventud, held in Marbella, Spain.
Premios Juventud is a Latin popular culture awards ceremony organized by global media company TelevisaUnivision. It selects artists and creators who lead trends among younger generations across various fields, including music, television, and digital content. Winners are determined by fan votes. Santos Bravos’ two-award win is particularly meaningful because it confirmed the strong interest and support of local fans.
Immediately after receiving the awards, Santos Bravos also captivated the audience with a special performance. The group performed “VELOCIDADE,” a track from its debut EP Dual, alongside 12 dancers, delivering a precise yet energetic performance. The group also unveiled a newly prepared dance break for the first time, demonstrating its powerful command of the stage.
Santos Bravos said, “We are truly happy and grateful to receive such meaningful awards. Our fans are a very important part of every moment we are experiencing. That is why these awards are even more special to us.”
Santos Bravos is a five-member Latin pop group that debuted last October through HYBE Latin America, based on HYBE Chairman Bang Si-hyuk’s “multi-home, multi-genre” strategy and “K-pop methodology.” The group consists of Dru from the United States, Kauê from Brazil, Alejandro from Peru, Kenneth from Mexico, and Gabi from Puerto Rico. Together, they present Latin pop that combines their individual cultural backgrounds and musical identities.
The group has recently expanded its activities by becoming the first Latin group to perform after being included in the lineup for KCON LA.
