HYBE's Latin pop group Santos Bravos (SANTOS BRAVOS) filled Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles with roaring singalongs, proving their global presence.
Santos Bravos (Drew, Alejandro, Gabee, Caue, Kenes) performed on the M Countdown stage and the artist stage at KCON LA 2026 on the 14th (local time), showcasing overwhelming vocal power and performance.
The most eye-catching stage was the BTS tribute special collaboration staged with HYBE's other global group &TEAM. Santos Bravos reinterpreted BTS's "Hooligan" with their characteristic Latin pop sensibility and dynamic performance, and at the end they sang "Permission to Dance" with &TEAM, eliciting an explosive response. The chemistry between the two teams, which started from different languages and cultural zones, vividly demonstrated HYBE's "multi home, multi-genre" strategy.
On their solo stage that followed, Santos Bravos drew singalongs from the audience with the double title track "VELOCIDADE (Velocidade)" from their first EP "DUAL," and on the other title track "MHM (Umhum)" they offered a surprising charm with sweet vocals and tasteful stage manner.
Debuting in October last year under the K-pop methodology led by HYBE chairman Bang Si-hyuk, Santos Bravos continue an unstoppable rise in the world's largest pop market, taking the trophy at the 2026 Spotify Podcast Awards and being named best group at the Premios Tu Música Urbano Mix 2026.
