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.
The group name "Plave" is a compound word combining Play + Rêve (Dream), symbolising their worldview of creating a new space to achieve their dreams.
Plave was introduced through a live broadcast on its official YouTube and Twitch on September 15, 2022. The group 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.
