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
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.

=Fandom=
The fans of Bini are known as "Bloom(s)", often stylized as BL∞M(S), with the infinity symbol replacing the O's. This styling is inspired by the group's tagline, Walo hanggang dulo (Eight until the end). The name "Bloom" reflects Bini's journey and symbolizes the "beginning of springtime, that there is always beauty after every cold trial". It was chosen from fan suggestions during a special announcement livestream on February 13, 2021.{{cite web |last1=Anoc |first1=Aimee |last2=Cruz |first2=Hazel Jane |title=Get to know the Nation's Girl Group Bini |url=https://www.gmanetwork.com/entertainment/showbiznews/news/20181/get-to-know-the-nations-girl-group-bini/photo/273183/fandom |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240806105944/https://www.gmanetwork.com/entertainment/showbiznews/news/20181/get-to-know-the-nations-girl-group-bini/photo |archive-date=August 6, 2024 |access-date=August 6, 2024 |website=GMA Entertainment}}
History

As part of his belief that "Filipino talent has a place on the global stage", Laurenti Dyogi, ABS-CBN's Head of Entertainment Production, had the idea of forming a training camp where youth aspiring to become superstars "can develop or further hone their talents."{{Cite web |last=Bardinas |first=Mary Ann |date=August 9, 2020 |title=Star Hunt Academy set to make more P-pop idols shine worldwide |url=https://ent.abs-cbn.com/articles-news/star-hunt-academy-set-to-make-more-p-pop-idols-shine-worldwide-12780 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201101060453/https://ent.abs-cbn.com/articles-news/star-hunt-academy-set-to-make-more-p-pop-idols-shine-worldwide-12780 |archive-date=November 1, 2020 |access-date=November 25, 2020 |work=ABS-CBN Entertainment |language=en}} In 2018, ABS-CBN launched Star Hunt Academy (SHA), which had 250 auditionees between the ages of 16 and 19 years old from all over the Philippines. From this pool of auditionees, with recommendations from talent scouts, the first set of female SHA trainees, 12 girls, was selected. While Dyogi initially planned to debut a nine-member idol girl group, it was eventually trimmed down to eight girls: Aiah Arceta, Colet Vergara, Maloi Ricalde, Gwen Apuli, Stacey Sevilleja, Mikha Lim, Jhoanna Robles, and Sheena Catacutan.{{Cite web |date=October 2020 |title=Starhunt Trainees Debut? |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYuTpk1m_R8&t=514s |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201209013812/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYuTpk1m_R8&t=514s |archive-date=December 9, 2020 |access-date=November 30, 2020 |website=YouTube |language=en}}{{Cite web |date=October 22, 2020 |title=Kilalanin ang Starhunt Academy Girls! |trans-title=Get to Know the Starhunt Academy Girls! |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lo-KA9vvApY&t=412s |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201215010000/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lo-KA9vvApY&t=412s |archive-date=December 15, 2020 |access-date=November 30, 2020 |website=YouTube |language=en}} Of the eight members, two—Sheena and Gwen—were originally housemates from Pinoy Big Brother: Otso.{{Cite web |date=January 4, 2021 |title=Bini, dumaan sa matinding training |trans-title=Bini underwent intensive training |url=https://news.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/01/04/21/bini-dumaan-sa-matinding-training |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210104070949/https://news.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/01/04/21/bini-dumaan-sa-matinding-training |archive-date=January 4, 2021 |access-date=February 4, 2021 |work=ABS-CBN News |language=tl}}
