Debuting in South Korea on March 12, 2023, PLAVE is a five-member K-POP virtual idol group consisting of YEJUN, NOAH, BAMBY, EUNHO, and HAMIN. Operating as a self-producing group, the members handle lyrics, composition, and choreography themselves. They were the first male virtual artist to top the Melon TOP100 chart, and in July 2024, about 1 year and 4 months after their debut, they set a 'record-breaking' milestone by surpassing 1 billion total streams on Melon, the largest streaming site in South Korea.
The 3rd Mini Album 'Caligo Pt.1,' released in February 2025, hit No. 1 on the Oricon Daily Album Ranking (as of February 28, 2025) on its release date in Japan and reached No. 1 on the Billboard JAPAN 'Top Albums Sales' chart (for the period of February 24 to March 2, 2025). Furthermore, they achieved the unprecedented feat for a male virtual idol by charting on the U.S. major music charts 'Billboard Global 200' and 'Billboard Global Excl. U.S.' (announced February 19, 2025). The 3rd Mini Album 'Caligo Pt.1' sold 1.03 million copies within just one week of release, making them the first K-POP virtual idol group to achieve a million-seller in first-week sales. They made their long-awaited Japanese debut on June 16 last year with the JP 1ST SINGLE 'Kakurenbo' (Hide and Seek). Recently, they won the 'Best 3 New Artists (Asia)' at the 40th Japan Gold Disc Award, a historic achievement not only in K-POP history but also in Japanese music history as the first international virtual idol to win the award. Furthermore, in April this year, they released their 4th Mini Album 'Caligo Pt.2,' which charted for the first time on the U.S. Billboard 200 main album chart, marking a career high and adding to their numerous records. Expectations are high for PLAVE's future activities as they continue their global expansion.
