Latin pop group Santos Bravos has expressed their admiration for fellow Latin music artist Bad Bunny.
On the afternoon of the 10th, Santos Bravos held a media day event at the HYBE headquarters in Yongsan, Seoul, to commemorate their first visit to Korea, where they met with TenAsia.
During the event, Gabi spoke about their popularity in Latin America, saying, "I think we are in the process of being accepted. The local music scene likes us, but as newcomers, it means we are still growing. It's a new group and project that combines K-pop, so it's even more so. It's always difficult at first, like trying new food or learning a new exercise." Drew added, "They are embracing us with open arms. It's amazing to receive this level of support and encouragement so soon after our debut. I think it's thanks to the K-pop system."
Gabi also expressed his admiration for Latin pop artist Bad Bunny. He said, "Isn't Bad Bunny the representative singer of the Latin community? He exerts an influence that makes me wonder if we could ever reach that level. I respect him. Personally, I watched his Super Bowl performance, and it was more special because I'm from Puerto Rico. Our goal is to work harder to contribute and exert influence on the path he has paved."
Meanwhile, Santos Bravos' first EP 'DUAL' was released on various music sites on the 13th of last month. This album is a work themed around 'duality,' where two contrasting aspects coexist. They visited Korea for the first time since their debut on the 4th and are currently staying in the country.
