Plave (Korean플레이브; stylized in all caps) is a South Korean virtual boy band formed by Vlast. The group consists of five members: Yejun, Noah, Bamby, Eunho, and Hamin.

The group name "Plave" is a compound word combining Play + Rêve (Dream), symbolising their worldview of creating a new space to achieve their dreams.[2]

History

[edit | edit source]

2022–2023: Introduction and official debut

[edit | edit source]

Plave was introduced through a live broadcast on its official YouTube and Twitch on September 15, 2022.[3] The group made their official debut on March 12, 2023, with the release of their first single album Asterum is described in Plave's worldview as a mysterious space between Caelum and Terra, where they meet their fans.[4]

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.[5] On November 17, 2023, it was announced that the group was nominated for Rookie of the Year at the Melon Music Awards.[6]

During their livestream on December 12th, 2023, the members announced that they would be joining Weverse.[7] They subsequently launched their official fan club membership on Weverse at the start of 2024. Plave is the first virtual group to join the platform.[8]

2024–present: First anniversary and fan concert

[edit | edit source]

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.[9] Their title track "Way 4 Luv" won first place on two Korean weekly music shows, Show Champion,[10][11] and Show! Music Core,[12][13] making them the first virtual idol group in history to win these awards.[citation needed]

Plave celebrated their debut anniversary on March 12, 2024, with a livestream on their YouTube channel, which attracted over 35,000 live viewers worldwide.[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.[14]

They held their first fan concert on April 13–14, 2024 at the Olympic Hall, Seoul, South Korea.[15]

On February 3, 2025, Plave released their third mini album Caligo Pt.1, with the lead single "Dash".[16]
