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, Bamby, Eunho, and Hamin.

History

2022–2023: Introduction and official debut

Plave was introduced through a live broadcast on its official YouTube and Twitch on September 15, 2022. The group's name is a combination of "play" and "rêve" (French for 'dream'). Plave made their official debut on March 12, 2023, with the release of their first single album, Asterum. Asterum is described in Plave's worldview as a mysterious space between Caelum and Terra, where they meet their fans.

During their livestream on December 12, 2023, the members announced that they would be joining Weverse. 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.

2024–present: First anniversary and fan concert

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. Their title track "Way 4 Luv" won first place on two Korean weekly music shows, Show Champion, and Show! Music Core, making them the first virtual idol group to win on a Korean music show.

The group held their first fan concert, "Hello, Asterum!", on April 13–14, 2024 at the Olympic Hall in Seoul.

In April 2024, Vlast CEO Lee Sung-gu announced that the company had received equity investments from HYBE and YG Plus to support international expansion. In November 2024, Plave performed at the Mnet Asian Music Awards, the first virtual idol group to appear at the ceremony.

On February 3, 2025, Plave released their third mini album, Caligo Pt.1, with the lead single "Dash". The album sold over one million copies in its first week, making Plave the first virtual idol group and the first boy group of 2025 to reach million-seller status with a single release. "Dash" debuted at number 195 on the Billboard Global 200.
