Bini (stylized in all caps; formerly Star Hunt Academy Girls or SHA Girls) is a Filipino girl group formed in 2019 through ABS-CBN's Star Hunt Academy (SHA). The group is composed of eight members: Aiah, Colet, Maloi, Gwen, Stacey, Mikha, Jhoanna, and Sheena.
Bini debuted on June 11, 2021, with their single, "Born to Win", after three years of training under SHA. Before their debut, the group released a pre-debut single, "Da Coconut Nut", on November 20, 2020. The group has since then gained widespread recognition and has been dubbed as the "Nation's Girl Group" due to their significant impact on the public and Philippine pop music. They became the first Filipino pop group with the most monthly listeners on Spotify, and the first to top Billboard's Philippine Songs chart. They are also the first to receive the Billboard Philippines Women in Music "Rising Star" Award. Bini was also recognized as the number one Philippine act by Billboard Philippines, representing the Philippines in Billboard's inaugural Global No.1 series.
On June 9, 2024, Bini entered the Top Artist Global Chart on Spotify at 193rd place, making them the first Filipino artists to achieve the record. The group also became the first Filipino act to top the Spotify Philippines' Daily Top Artists chart on June 14, surpassing Taylor Swift.
In July 2024, Bini became the first Filipino pop act to perform at the KCON music festival, showcasing their single "Cherry on Top" at the pre-show of KCON LA at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. In November 2024, they became the first Filipino act to win the "Best Asia Act" award at the MTV Europe Music Awards.
