Virtual idol group PLAVE to hold encore concerts at Gocheok Sky Dome, impressing fans and netizens

Virtual idol PLAVE continues to rise in success, reaching milestone after milestone.

On an online forum, netizens reacted to a surprise announcement from PLAVE during the final day of their three-day Seoul concerts at the KSPO Dome, held from August 15 to 17. At the very end of the last show, PLAVE revealed that they will hold encore concerts at the Gocheok Sky Dome on November 21 and 22, following the conclusion of their first Asia tour.

The announcement shocked fans who had attended the KSPO Dome shows, as well as netizens who were unable to secure tickets for the sold-out three-day run. Many expressed excitement, noting that with the larger capacity of the Gocheok Sky Dome, more fans will "finally get a chance to secure tickets for PLAVE's concert."

PLAVE has already impressed by selling out tickets for their first Asia tour, 'DASH: Quantum Leap,' which began in Seoul and will continue in Taipei (August 23), Hong Kong (October 1), Jakarta (October 18), Bangkok (October 25), and Tokyo (November 1–2). They also became the first virtual idols to perform at the KSPO Dome.

Meanwhile, fans who attended the KSPO Dome concerts shared fancams online for those curious to see how virtual idols perform live.

Netizens shared their congratulations and reactions such as:

"That’s amazing ㄷㄷ Congratulations!"

"Congrats to PLAVE for entering Gocheokㅠㅠㅠㅠ"

"I better have a seat at Gocheok. Today’s final concert made me so happyㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ"

"There absolutely has to be a seat for me."

"Two of my friends are fans and the core fandom here seems no joke."

"I heard before that even making their hair costs a lot. Every single strand expressed is all technique."

"Their growth is insaneㅠㅠㅠㅠ Our boys are really the best."

"They’re finally going to Gocheok, congrats congrats!!"

"They’re really going to Gocheok, that’s crazy. They’re only in their second year since official debut, amazing."

"If you’re curious about the concert, they usually stream it online too, so new fans should definitely check out the online concert..! I also got curious about the new tech and tried it online first before becoming a fan."

"Wow, they’re really popular."

"The level of realism the members feel is that they can see the slogan letters, the fans’ outfits, of course the fan chants, and even hear the parts of the lightsticks clattering. There’s no delay, it’s real-time enough for a full live band performance."

"The performers go all out for the entire show. The ticket price is the same. Holograms are totally different—this is like the outer layer is digital, but every dance, movement, and song is reflected from the actual performers. That’s the technology."

"Our PLAVE really made it. Thank you to the haters—your free viral marketing gave us a huge boost."

"Honestly, PLAVE’s concert is insanely fun. The direction and sound are all great, but when I found out they had a live band, it gave me chills. Congrats to my group PLAVE for entering Gocheok."

"Since we’re basically watching the big screen anyway, the seats probably won’t matter."

"Ha, my dopamine levels explodedㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ"

"Wow, PLAVE is going to Gocheok, unbelievable."

"The moment today’s encore was announced, the whole venue went wildㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ"

"I was there in person and the reactions were absolutely crazy."

"They can really be considered the first generation of virtual idols, and with results like this, it’s honestly incredible...."

Congratulations to PLAVE!
