After their appearance in a successful Chinese drama, boy band T.U.B.S are hoping to bring more of their country’s culture to the world.

T.U.B.S, aka The Untamed Boys, is made up of cast members from the 2019 hit Tencent Video series The Untamed, which had over 8 billion views across its 50 episodes. In January, the group dropped their debut EP Love:One-Act, and they say it’s just the start.

“I’m really grateful and appreciate that we’ve felt a lot of love and support from fans across the world,” band leader Yu Bin tells the South Morning China Post in a phone call.

“I want to convey Chinese culture and incorporate the elements of The Untamed into our music and connect with fans across the globe. In terms of conveying Chinese culture to the world, we hope to do it through the composition of our music, and of course through our style, clothing and just generally our work and through ourselves.”

Yu Bin, the leader of T.U.B.S, had been a member of the Mandopop-meets-K-pop boy band M4M.
