HYBE’s Latin pop group Santos Bravos has made a massive impact on American morning television, proving their growing global influence by appearing on NBC’s flagship morning show, the TODAY Show.
On November 3 local time, Santos Bravos members Dru, CauΓͺ, Alejandro, Kenneth, and Gabi took to the stage on NBC’s TODAY Show to perform a preview of their upcoming new single ‘ORIGAMI’ for the first time. They also delivered a dynamic performance of ‘MHM’, a track from their debut EP ‘DUAL’, showcasing their diverse charms.
Sporting handheld microphones, the five members moved freely across the stage, displaying unwavering live vocals and exceptional teamwork. During their performance of ‘MHM’, a track capturing the fluttering excitement of fresh love, they captivated the audience with playful expressions, free-flowing grooves, and undeniable chemistry among the members.
The newly unveiled performance of their upcoming single ‘ORIGAMI’ also left a powerful impression. Set to a Latin-infused groovy rhythm, the members delivered flexible yet sharp synchronized choreography, perfectly controlling the intensity of their movements to create a cohesive, unified performance.
According to their agency, HYBE Latin America, ‘ORIGAMI’, set for release on the 20th, draws inspiration from traditional Japanese origami art. The song compares the creases formed while folding paper to the trajectories of life, relationships, and learning, telling a story of growth while preserving one’s roots, gratitude, and resilience.
Notably, this new single serves as a pre-release track for their second EP slated for release next year, with global group &TEAM from HYBE Labels Japan directly participating in the music production to enhance its quality. Having previously collaborated in February on the ‘&TEAM Remix’ of ‘KAWASAKI’, anticipation among global music fans is soaring for the explosive synergy the two groups will display once again.
Meanwhile, Santos Bravos is a five-member global group that debuted in October 2025 under the leadership of HYBE Chairman Bang Si-hyuk, incorporating his ‘multi-home, multi-genre’ strategy and ‘K-pop methodology.’ They are set to expand their global reach further in March next year by performing at the large-scale music festival ‘Lollapalooza South America 2027’ across three countries: Chile, Argentina, and Brazil.
