Virtual K-Pop Group PLAVE Debuts Arguably The Most Unique Lightstick Ever
Virtual K-Pop boy group PLAVE has become one of the most popular rookies in the industry lately, which is especially impressive given the nature of the group! With five members represented by virtual characters, they’ve taken the “AI” trend in K-Pop and gone a different route with it, similar to the popular VTuber trend on streaming platforms.
As their popularity has grown with their impressive sales numbers and other measures of their success, PLAVE is becoming more and more like a “real” K-Pop group with how they’re marketing themselves. Their latest step in this direction is the release of their official lightstick design!
Unlike the typical globe-shaped lightsticks that most K-Pop groups go with, PLAVE has one of the most unique designs in the industry, with theirs being shaped like a dumbbell with a light on either end.
There are details within the light parts of the lightstick as well, and it’s also capable of changing colors like many other groups’ designs!
While the design has received some criticism for potentially being difficult to hold, the overall reaction to the lightstick has been positive. Many people are amused by the unique concept, which actually started out as a joke between PLAVE and their fans but has since been made into reality!
Bamby and Hamin recently played with the new lightstick during their latest livestream, which you can watch below!
