That's My Bae (also known as EB Baes or Trops) is a Filipino dance group formed in the That's My Bae: "Twerk It" Dance Contest segment of the noontime variety show Eat Bulaga!, and officially formed in August 29, 2015. The group is composed of Kim Last, Kenneth Medrano, Joel Palencia, Tommy Peñaflor, Jon Timmons and Miggy Tolentino.
On July 6, 2015, Eat Bulaga! launched a new segment called That's My Bae: "Twerk It" Dance Contest hosted by Sam Y.G. and Alden Richards. It is a dance contest for male contestants who are referred to as "baes," a slang word for "baby/babe as a term of endearment. The contestants dance to the 2014 hit single "Twerk It Like Miley" by Brandon Beal to showcase their talent and looks. The daily winners underwent a series of elimination rounds until only seven contestants remained in the grand finals of the competition. The seven grand finalists were Gab Bayan, Kim Last, Kenneth Medrano, Joel Palencia, Tommy Peñaflor, Jon Timmons, and Miggy Tolentino.
On August 29, 2015, Kenneth Medrano was named as the grand winner of the competition. Subsequently, Medrano and the six other grand finalists were regularly seen on Eat Bulaga! as a dance group now known as That's My Bae. The name of their group was taken directly from the title of the segment from which they were discovered. To further give them exposure, That's My Bae was given their own segment entitled ATM with the Baes. At this point, they were considered as a mainstay dance group in Eat Bulaga!.
The group was still composed of seven members until the quiet departure of Gab Bayan on December 2015. Bayan left the group in order to return to Far Eastern University and to focus on his studies. Without any formal announcement, JV Suzara, a contestant in That's My Bae: "Twerk It" Dance Contest who finished as a semi-finalist, was added to the group as a replacement.
After the end of ATM with the Baes, That's My Bae appeared in several other segments of Eat Bulaga!, including Hotline Bae, Dancing in Tandem, and Kalyeserye. Kenneth Medrano was even given a minor role as Peping during the flashback retelling of Nidora and Anselmo's love story in Kalyeserye. The members of That's My Bae were also included in AlDub's wedding entourage for Kalyeserye.
