March 12, 2024 marks PLAVE’s first anniversary, when they made their debut with “Wait For You.” Since then, the five-member virtual K-pop group has rapidly hit various milestones such as achieving over 1 million album sales in Korea and Japan, becoming the first virtual idol to win on a music show, and earning accolades from Hanteo Music Awards, Melon Music Awards, and Seoul Music Awards.
On February 26, 2024, PLAVE released their latest mini album, ASTERUM 134-1, which was reported to be the most streamed album within the first 24 hours of release on MelOn in 2024. Since the album’s release, PLAVE has sold over 500,000 copies according to Circle Chart, making it one of 2024’s top 10 best-selling albums in South Korea as of February.
