PLAVE is a virtual boy group under VLAST. It consists of five members: Yejun, Noah, Bamby, Eunho, and Hamin. The group uses motion capture technology for their idol activities. They were first introduced through YouTube and Twitch streams starting in September 2022. The group officially debuted on March 12, 2023, with the single album "Asterum". In 2024, they joined the Melon Billion Club after reaching one billion cumulative streams. This record was achieved in just 494 days since their debut, breaking the previous record and becoming the artist to join the Melon Billion Club in the shortest time since their debut. In 2025, in the first week of the release of their third EP, "Caligo Pt. 1", they sold one million copies, becoming the first virtual group to achieve this. In mid-June, they made their Japanese debut with the single "Kakurenbo (Hide & Seek)". It reached one million streams on Melon, making it the first time a Japanese song by a K-pop group had entered Melon's "Hall of Fame."
