Kenneth

Kenneth (Kenneth Lagunes Villegas) is the youngest member of Santos Bravos, HYBE Latin America's debut boy group, born on October 18, 2009 in Veracruz, Mexico. A multihyphenate performer since childhood, he grew up in a musical household where his mother worked as a radio host and his father sang in a vocal group. He began professional vocal training at age seven and appeared on the Mexican reality talent show Pequenos Gigantes at age nine. Kenneth's acting credits span several major Mexican productions. He appeared in the telenovelas Contigo Si, El Precio de Amarte, and the long-running anthology series La Rosa de Guadalupe. He also performed in the holiday comedy specials The Day of the Dead is Cancelled and Mother's Day is Cancelled, and lent his voice to the Spanish-language cast of Pixar's animated feature Elio, adding a major studio animation credit before turning 16. Before Santos Bravos, Kenneth was a member of the youth musical group KRUSH! Pop Kids, which he left in 2025 to enter the Santos Bravos training program under HYBE Latin America. Despite entering without formal dance training, he immediately impressed the creative team with his vocal instincts and a rare emotional maturity for his age. His group mates gave him the nickname Fuegito (little fire) for his energy, and he was also dubbed Perrito (puppy) for his playful personality. His STBV archetype is the free heart: curious, spontaneous, unafraid to feel. His favorite singers include Bruno Mars and Luis Miguel, and his dream collaborations are Grupo Frontera, Carin Leon, and CORTIS. Santos Bravos debuted on October 18, 2025, which is also Kenneth's own birthday, at a sold-out event at Mexico City's Auditorio Nacional.
