BGYO (formerly Star Hunt Academy Boys or SHA Boys)[5] is a five-member Filipino boy band formed in 2018 by ABS-CBN Star Hunt Academy. The group debuted in 2021 under ABS-CBN's talent management arm, Star Magic. Dubbed as the Aces of P-pop,[6][7][8] composed of Akira, Gelo, JL, Mikki, and Nate, the quintet co-writes several of their output and considers their Filipino roots as one of their assets, as evident in their music, songwriting and style.[9] Their lyrics often focus on social issues relevant to younger generations, such as hope, youth empowerment and self-love.[10]
After debuting in 2021 with their single The Light,[11] BGYO released the original soundtrack He's Into Her which led to the group's first major recognition for the "Best Theme Song or Title Theme" at the 2021 Asian Academy Creative Awards. The group's multi-lingual studio album The Light[12] was the longest consecutive charting album by a Filipino act to stay at number one on iTunes Philippines of all time.[13] In 2022, upon the release of their second album Be Us, the group had 2 albums and 32 tracks on iTunes Philippines Charts at the same time.[14]
In 2023, the group was mentioned on an article of the official Grammys' publication.[15]
