Santos Bravos Express Gratitude to BTS and LE SSERAFIM During First Visit to Korea

Latin pop group Santos Bravos expressed their gratitude to senior HYBE groups such as BTS and LE SSERAFIM.

On the afternoon of the 10th, Santos Bravos held a media day event at the HYBE headquarters in Yongsan-gu, Seoul, to commemorate their first visit to Korea and met with Ten Asia.

Gabi confessed, "Being the first Latin pop group from HYBE, we feel a lot of pressure." He added, "Our goal is not just to be known in Latin America but globally. We believe the Korean market is really important because it's the starting point of HYBE. We've worked really hard to be here."

Drew followed by saying, "It's my first time visiting Korea, and I came with a lot of expectations. I came with the mindset to learn a lot. We want to learn from and challenge ourselves by observing the activities of senior groups like BTS, LE SSERAFIM, and others. We are grateful because we believe we are here thanks to the groundwork laid by these senior groups in the K-pop market. We are here to learn a lot with a student's mindset."

Alejandro noted, "What impressed me the most about coming to Korea is how familiar Koreans are with Latin music. We sang Bad Bunny's song on Idol Radio, and people sang along. We are making a lot of effort to immerse ourselves in Korean culture."

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.
