Plave (Korean: 플레이브; stylized in all caps) is a South Korean virtual boy band formed by Vlast. The group consists of five members: Yejun, Noah, Hamin, Eunho and Bamby.
Name
[edit]The group name "Plave" is a compound word combining Play + Rêve (Dream), symbolising their worldview of creating a new space to achieve their dreams.[1]
History
[edit]2022–2023: Introduction and official debut
[edit]Plave was released through a live broadcast on its official YouTube and Twitch on September 15, 2022.[2] The group made their official debut on March 12, 2023, with the release of their first single album Asterum, a mysterious space that exists between Caelum and Terra where they meet their fans, according to Plave's worldview.[3]
The group's second EP, Asterum: The Shape of Things to Come reached one million streams in 13 hours, and a total of 1.7 million streams in 24 hours after its release and entered the Melon Hall of Fame.[4] On November 17, 2023, it was announced that the group was nominated for Rookie of the Year at the Melon Music Awards.[5]
During their livestream on December 12th, 2023, the members announced that they will be joining Weverse,[6] subsequently opening an official fan club membership through the application at the start of 2024. Plave is the first virtual group to join the platform.[7]
2024–present: First anniversary and fan concert
[edit]On February 26, 2024, their second mini album Asterum: 134-1 was released, which sold 221,151 physical albums on opening day and 569,289 copies in one week, a new record for the group.[8] Their title track "Way 4 Luv" won first place on two Korean weekly music shows, Show Champion,[9][10] and Show! Music Core[11][12], making them the first virtual idol group in history to win the awards.[citation needed]
Plave celebrated their debut anniversary on March 12, 2024, with a livestream on their YouTube channel gaining over 35,000 live viewers from all over the world.[citation needed] In celebration of their first anniversary, a pop-up store themed around their song "Way 4 Luv" was opened for two weeks at the start of March 2024 at The Hyundai Seoul, South Korea.[13][14]
They held their first fan concert over April 13-14, 2024 at the Olympic Hall, Seoul, South Korea.[15]
