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]

2022–2023: Introduction and official debut

[edit]

Plave was released 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, a mysterious space that exists between Caelum and Terra where they meet their fans, according to Plave's worldview.[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 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]

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.[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 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.[14][unreliable source?][15]

They held their first fan concert over April 13–14, 2024 at the Olympic Hall, Seoul, South Korea.[16]
