BUS

BUS is a rising Thai boy band that was formed through the reality survival show “789 Survival.” They officially debuted on December 6, 2023, with their digital single “Because of You, I Shine,” which also gave the group its name. BUS stands for “Because of you I shine,” reflecting the band’s dedication to their fans and their journey in the music industry.

The group consists of 12 members: Alan, Marckris, Khunpol, Heart, Jinwook, Thai, Nex, Phutatchai, Copper, AA, Jungt, and Peemwasu. Before their official debut, they were known as “789 DEBUT GROUP” on social media. BUS made a mark with their first single, “WATCH YOUR STEP,” released in February 2024. That same month, they introduced their fanbase, named “BEUS,” and went on to win “Best New Artist of the Year” and “Best Performance” at the TOTY Music Awards 2023.

In April 2024, the group split into two sub-units, BUS5 and BUS7, each with their own releases. BUS5’s single, “NO MATTER WHAT,” was launched in May, followed by BUS7’s “Brother Zone” in June. Throughout the year, BUS gained significant recognition, performing at major events and winning prestigious awards, including the “Best Artist” honor at the 9th Asia Artist Awards.

By January 2025, BUS had surpassed a million Instagram followers, making them the first Thai boy band to achieve this feat. They celebrated this milestone with their first concert, “LIGHT THE WORLD,” in March 2025, where they unveiled their latest single, “BOW WOW.”
