The Virtual Idols Who Can Fill Real Arenas
Who says virtual idols can’t pack a stadium? PLAVE, the digital K-pop group shaking up the industry, is rewriting the rules of stardom. Their upcoming encore concert at the massive Gocheok Sky Dome sold out every seat—during fan club pre-sale.
Fan Club Frenzy: 530,000 Fans Flood Ticket Site
On June 24 at 7 PM KST, pre-sale tickets for the “2025 PLAVE Asia Tour [DASH: Quantum Leap] Encore” dropped via NOL Ticket. Within moments, fans were lined up in digital queues, with traffic peaking at an eye-popping 530,000 users. Even with a strict one-ticket-per-member limit, demand completely eclipsed supply.
From KSPO DOME to the Sky (Dome)
This isn’t their first ticket-selling mic drop. Back in August, PLAVE filled out Seoul’s KSPO DOME for three straight fan-only nights. Now, they’ve jumped to an even bigger venue—Gocheok Sky Dome—and pulled off another all-out sellout. That’s 100% attendance, twice in a row, using just their core fanbase.
The Grand Finale in November
Mark your calendars: the final encore in Seoul kicks off November 21–22 in Guro District’s Sky Dome. Expect upgraded performances, jaw-dropping visuals, and maybe even a pixel-perfect plot twist. It’s the tour closer, and PLAVE’s saving their boldest leap for last.
Virtual? Maybe. Real Impact? Absolutely.
In a world where K-pop fandoms span continents and the metaverse is becoming mainstream, PLAVE is proving that heart-thumping performances and devoted fanbases transcend the physical. As their encore shows sell out faster than you can say “stan,” one thing is crystal clear: PLAVE isn’t a trend—they’re the future.
