PLAVE, Layering a Universal 'Male Character' Preference

PLAVE is a virtual boy group that follows the concept of "idols sprung from manhwa."

They present the common appearances of beloved characters in women's media while emphasizing individuality.

PLAVE introduces the notion of idols having a "real-life counterpart." In other words, they have idol actors.

However, since their true identities remain undisclosed, it allows for a sense of distance while retaining their appeal.
