BOBO is a Chinese boy band composed of two members, Jing Boran (Chinese: 井柏然) and Fu Xinbo (Chinese: 付辛博).

The two became famous after competing in the 2007 My Hero (simplified Chinese: 07加油！好男儿; traditional Chinese: 07加油！好男兒) competition, with Jing Boran winning first and Fu Xinbo third. In 2008, the two released their own EP, Glory (simplified Chinese: 光荣; traditional Chinese: 光榮), and then the album, The Big World (Chinese: 世界之大). Since their debut, they have won multiple new artists awards.

In 2008, they performed during the pre-ceremony performance of the 2008 Summer Paralympics opening ceremony.[1] The two also began their acting career in 2008, with Fu Xinbo playing in I am Veeker (simplified Chinese: 微客帝国; traditional Chinese: 微客帝國) [2] and Jing Boran in A Tribute to Stephen Chow (simplified Chinese: 向周星驰致敬先; traditional Chinese: 向周星馳致敬先).[3]
