BUS (stylized: because of you i shine) is a Thai boy band, and the first group to debut under Sonray Music, a label within Tada Entertainment. The group consists of twelve members, who were selected via participation on the competition reality show 789 Survival. The band's current lineup consists of Alan, Marckris, Khunpol, Heart, Jinwook, Thai, Nex, Phutatchai, Copper, AA, Jungt, and Peemwasu. Fans of the group are known as BEUS, which is short for "Be (With) Us".[1]

History

[edit]

789 Survival

[edit]

The members of the band were selected as the winners of the Thai reality show 789 Survival, which aired on One 31. Originally, the show intended to form a group of 7, 8, or 9 members, from a total of 24. However, the final winners were chosen through a combination of audience votes, votes from the contestants themselves, and selection by the show's producer, Songyos Sugmakanan. This method resulted in the group having a total of 12 members. Marckris, Copper, and AA were chosen by fan vote. Phutatchai, Khunpol, Heart, Peemwasu, Alan, and Nex were all chosen by the other competitors. Jungt, Thai, and Jinwook were chosen by Sugmakanan.

Debut

[edit]

BUS released their debut single, Because of You, I Shine, on December 6, 2023. The song's music video, which showcases popular tourist attractions across Thailand, was released on the same day.
