BGYO (formerly Star Hunt Academy Boys or SHA Boys) is a Filipino boy band formed in 2018 through ABS-CBN's Star Hunt Academy (SHA). The group is composed of Gelo (leader), Akira, JL, Mikki, and Nate.

BGYO debuted on January 29, 2021 with their single "The Light". The group released their second single, "He's Into Her", as part of the official soundtrack of the Philippine romantic comedy series of the same name. The song led to the group earning the "Best Theme Song" award at the 2021 Asian Academy Creative Awards. Their debut album, The Light topped iTunes Philippines' Top 100 albums chart for twelve consecutive days, making it the longest chart topping album by a Filipino act on the platform. The group also featured in the Grammy's "The Many Sounds of Asian Pop" listicle in 2023.

Name

The name BGYO is an acronym for "Becoming the change, Going further, You and I, Originally Filipino". Contrary to popular belief the group's name is not a shortened form of the Filipino word bagyo , meaning "storm" or "tropical cyclone."

History

Formation and debut (2018–2020)

ABS-CBN launched the SHA program in 2018 for the purpose of introducing Filipino talent into the international market. The first set of male trainees were selected from 250 auditionees from different places in the Philippines and ranged in age from 16 to 19. The initially-envisioned seven-member group was reduced to five, with the final line-up consisting of Gelo (leader), Akira, JL, Mikki, and Nate. The group were trained for two years under Filipino and South Korean mentors from MU Doctor Academy, with vocal coach Kitchy Molina and Austrian-born dance coach Mickey Perz among the Filipino mentors. On August 3, 2019 the five members were officially introduced as the SHA trainees, performing in the online pre-show of the Big Night of Pinoy Big Brother: Otso.

During 2020 the trainees released a number of videos and vlogs showing their training progress and were invited to perform on Happy Hallyu Day 4, the ASAP Natin 'To, and at the 2020 Philippines-Korea Cultural Exchange Festival. On December 4 the group's members signed contracts with Star Magic and record label Star Music. On December 6 they performed on the opening of Pinoy Big Brother: Connect, followed by an appearance on December 12 on It's Showtime, with their performances of Sarah Geronimo's hit songs "Tala" and "Kilometro" going viral. On January 13, 2021 SHA revealed the group's official name and logo.

MU Doctor collaborated with South Korean producers Rogan & Ddank for BGYO's debut single "The Light", released on January 29, 2021. The English lyrics were written by Korean-American composer and songwriter Distract, with the Tagalog lyrics written by the members themselves to "reflect their own story in the song". The single was choreographed by Lay Back, who had worked with SuperM, Hyolyn, and Zico.

On April 9, 2021 it was revealed that BGYO would record the official soundtrack of iWantTFC's digital Philippine romance comedy series He's Into Her, and on April 23 their second single, "He's Into Her", was released.

On June 6 they were recognized as having been "Best International Artist" on the Korean star voting web application Dong-A.com's "Idolpick (아이돌픽)" for seven consecutive weeks and hailed as the "Best Idol for the month of June", which gave them the opportunity to appear on several digital billboards in Seoul, South Korea.

Artistry

BGYO has cited K-pop groups such as BTS, Exo, Got7, and Wanna One as well as artists such as Shawn Mendes, Gary Valenciano, Erik Santos, and Regine Velasquez as their musical inspirations. In an interview with Myx Global, the group also cited Jabbawockeez as an influence, with Nate saying, "Jabbawockeez inspired me to get into music, and I would even copy how they would dance". Although inspired by such K-pop groups, BGYO emphasize the strength of their Filipino identity, as evident in their music, songwriting, and style.

BGYO's debut song "The Light" was genre-bending as it contained urban, electronic, and R&B elements, becoming popular among the younger generation for speaking about empowerment, hope, and self-love.

Endorsements

BGYO have obtained several endorsement deals in various industries over their career, including becoming brand ambassadors for the Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 series and H&M. They were the first Filipino artists to be featured in H&M's "Music x ME" campaign, which aimed to promote up and coming OPM artists, and took part in the first-ever collaboration by H&M with the Filipino streetwear company "Don't Blame the Kids (DBTK)". The group has also been introduced as the fresh faces of Mentos, voicing the brand's campaign jingle, and have also served as brand ambassadors for TNT, Chowking, and Sprite, with their voices in the campaign "Cool Ka Lang".

BGYO partnered with Viber to give fans an exclusive chance to connect with the group online through the "Backstage Pass Channel", and on March 19, 2021 the group signed with live-streaming platform Kumu to promote campaigns.

On June 19, 2024 BGYO filed cyberlibel and unjust vexation complaints against netizens who had been spreading false information in order to attack the group.
