Virtual idol group PLAVE is ramping up excitement for their comeback by unveiling a racing-themed tracklist that showcases their impressive self-production skills.
On Tuesday, PLAVE (consisting of members Ye-jun, Nam No-a, Bam-bi, Eun-ho, and Ha-min) dropped the tracklist for their upcoming mini-album HYPERDRIVE, slated for release on October 12.
The album boasts five tracks, including the title song “Star Trace,” along with “Kkun,” “Rain on a Blue Sky,” “The Answer Is Yes,” and “Rewind.”
In a testament to their artistic growth, all PLAVE members contributed to the album’s production. The track “Rewind” features collaborations with hit-maker KENZIE and the songwriting team KZLAB, signaling an expansion of the group’s musical range. Fans got an early taste of the title track “Star Trace” during a recent encore performance on their world tour, where it received an enthusiastic reception.
With the tracklist reveal stoking fan anticipation, PLAVE’s mini-album HYPERDRIVE will drop on digital platforms at 6:00 p.m. (KST) on October 12, with physical copies hitting stores the following day.
PLAVE burst onto the scene as a virtual group in March 2023, quickly making waves with a solo concert at Seoul’s Gocheok Sky Dome last November. Now, just ten months later, they’re upping the ante with a performance at the larger Incheon Munhak Stadium, showcasing their rapidly growing popularity.
