The lyric poster features the members inside a train at sunset and moving Japanese lines such as “Where will you go again?” and “The more I reach out, the further you go.” These lyrics evoke a sense of longing and anticipation for the full single.
PLAVE’s Growing Popularity in Asia
Since debuting in March 2023, the five-member virtual boy group—Yejun, Noah, Bambi, Eunho, and Hamin—has quickly gained popularity across Asia. Their 2024 mini album ‘ASTERUM 134-1’ topped Japan’s HMV&BOOKS K-POP sales and marked the group’s entry into the Billboard Global 200 chart, a first for virtual idols.
With the launch of their official Japanese fanclub, PLAVE is set to engage fans even more as they begin full-scale activities in Japan.
