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

Name

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

2022–present: Introduction and official debut

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 along many other artists for the Melon Music Awards.[5] Apart from releasing music, the group also streams live on its YouTube channel twice a week in order to interact with their fans, through various activities including live performances.[6]

During their livestream on December 12th, 2023, the members announced that they will be joining Weverse,[7] 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.[8]
