i really like the vid and the way yall explain things <3 nice job guys! love from Malaysian PLLI!!! 💙💜💗❤🖤
오피셜하게 공개안한건 맞는데.. 다 알긴함😂 그러니까 사실 얼굴알고 좋아하는것도 있음 물론 팬덤내에서 절대절대 금기어지만. 안티들이 늘 욕하는 부분 절대 걱정할필요없다는거.
Idk why but I'm going to cry…thank you for doing a research so well. you guys are cool for this🥺
Let me introduce Hololive if you don’t already know 😊

Such a nice video 😊
I approve 💗
와 . . 정 말 핵 심 을 찔 렀 어 !
단 1초도 지루하지 않게 구성해주셔서 감사히 잘 보고 갑니다(_ _)
Thank you so much for this video, such a well researched vd. I really want people to see this before judging plave. Boys are so talented n hardworking. They deserve everything.
thank you for covering PLAVE in such an informative yet entertaining way, when kpop world is lean towards of visualism, luxurism, fanatism sometimes more than music itself, the making of PLAVE feels like breath into fresh air, blue-ocean strategy. Labeled simply “kpop group”, but their self-produced music covers unusual range of genres like acapella, new jack swing, city pop, soft-rock and even bossanova!!
Thank you! I will just send this Video to those lazy people who can't understand PLAVE!!!!
This is what you called proper research. Omg all the important points were all covered!! Thanks for you hardwork featuring PLAVE 🥹
genuinely thank you for taking your time to fully understand how plave works especially for the non fans. The video was entertaining and you even provided proofs that their interaction with the fans is realtime. I hope all journalists follow your example in thoroughly researching about Plave.
💙💜💗❤️🖤
Thank you for featuring Plave and spreading awareness about how they work!!! Alot of people in the public still doesn't know how to differentiate AI and virtual idols. 🥹🫶🏼
Il doit avoir une version pour Irisé et tout les autres groupes virtuels 🦧🥲
This video deserve to be spread around so wide so that every hater can learn to finally shut their mouth
Being a K-pop artist comes with so many expectations, whether it's visuals, vocals, dancing, or physical attributes. They're expected to be all-rounded artists. But I believe what matters most is what they bring to their audience through their music and creative work. The messages conveyed through their self-produced songs, their vocals, self-choreographed performances, individual personalities, and the way they connect with their audience are what truly matters. To me, an artist's identity shouldn't be defined by their appearance or physical attributes, but by their artistry, creativity, and the emotions they leave with their audience. At the end of the day, it's their artistry that defines them as artists, not their physical appearance. Thank you for this content. 💙💜🩷❤️🖤 Love plli. 🫂🫶
This is such a good researched video🥺 I love Plave so much. I have never liked a group this much and I even bought their albums which I have never done for other groups. I'm so glad I stan them since they debuted. 💙💜💗❤️🖤
