HYBE's Latin pop group SANTOS BRAVOS will return with new music on November 20, marking its first comeback following the group's debut anniversary.

The five-member act announced the date through its official social media accounts on October 20, sharing a teaser image featuring the words "NOV. 20, 2026 COMEBACK."

The image depicts a paper crane alongside the silhouette of a hand, offering few clues about the musical direction or concept of the upcoming release.

The announcement comes nearly one year after SANTOS BRAVOS made its debut on October 22, 2025, performing before approximately 10,000 people at Auditorio Nacional in Mexico City.

Since then, the group has expanded its activities across Latin America, the United States and Europe.

Its debut EP, "DUAL," released in March, reached No. 17 on Billboard's Top Latin Pop Albums chart. According to HYBE, the group's official social media accounts have also accumulated approximately 6.16 million combined followers and subscribers.

SANTOS BRAVOS has appeared at several Latin American music festivals, including Estéreo Picnic in Colombia, Tecate Pa'l Norte in Mexico and Empire Music Festival in Guatemala.

In August, the group joined the official lineup for KCON LA 2026, becoming the first Latin American act to do so, according to HYBE. The following month, it participated in ES LATINA 2026, a cultural project organized by Shakira in Madrid.

The group has also received recognition at several music award ceremonies, including two awards at the 2026 Premios Juventud in September.

Musically, SANTOS BRAVOS has maintained connections with HYBE's K-POP roster through remix collaborations involving ENHYPEN, LE SSERAFIM, BOYNEXTDOOR and ILLIT.

On October 9, the group released "Ooh Laka Laka La," a collaborative single with Latin pop singer Enrique Iglesias.

SANTOS BRAVOS was formed through HYBE Latin America as part of the company's strategy to apply elements of its K-POP artist development model to other music markets.

The group consists of Drew from the United States, Kauê from Brazil, Alejandro from Peru, Kenneth from Mexico and Gabi from Puerto Rico.

Ahead of its November comeback, SANTOS BRAVOS is scheduled to perform at the Billboard Latin Music Awards on October 22. The group is also confirmed for Lollapalooza South America 2027, with appearances planned in Argentina, Chile and Brazil next March.

Further details about the November 20 release, including its title and tracklist, have yet to be announced.
