Virtual idol group PLAVE successfully completed the grand journey of their first Asia tour. On the 21st and 22nd, PLAVE held the 'DASH: Quantum Leap Encore (2025 PLAVE Asia Tour DASH: Quantum Leap Encore)' performances at Seoul Gocheok Sky Dome. The event recorded a peak traffic of approximately 530,000 during the pre-sale ticket opening, selling out all seats prepared for the two shows.
PLAVE previously held their first solo concert in Seoul at Olympic Park KSPO DOME last August, and this time, by performing at Gocheok Sky Dome, they became the first virtual idol to enter this venue. Starting from Seoul, PLAVE completed their journey across six cities including Taipei, Hong Kong, Jakarta, Bangkok, and Tokyo, before returning to Seoul after about three months.
The concert was themed around 'gravity,' beginning with the 'Zero Gravity' VCR, followed by PLAVE starting the show with 'Watch Me Woo!' amid fans' cheers. PLAVE shared their thoughts, saying, "At our 100-day debut live, we wondered, 'Will we be able to perform at Gocheok Dome?' And now, here we are at Gocheok Dome."
During the second show, they delivered multilingual greetings to fans worldwide through an online live broadcast. Then, the stages for 'Virtual Idol' and 'RIZZ' showcased their lively charm. 'Island' and 'A to T (12:32)' accompanied by Hamin's piano performance stirred the audience's emotions with sweet vocals.
The newly designed protruding stage featured 'The 6th Summer' and 'From,' delivering deep emotional impact. The fan song 'Dear. PLLI,' containing messages to fans, created a romantic winter atmosphere and received great responses from the audience.
PLAVE's unique stage direction and performances also captivated the audience. 'WAY 4 LUV' evoked a fairy-tale-like atmosphere, while the grand performance of 'Dash' maximized VCR and laser effects to express PLAVE's worldview. The wave motions from the audience, spanning from the first-floor floor seats to the fourth floor, further heightened the concert's energy.
In the dreamy space, the members' drive was highlighted in 'Chroma Drift,' and the cover stage of 'Spell,' a reinterpretation of TVXQ's original song, drew strong cheers with intense charisma. In the latter part of the concert, the 'Gocheok Dome Busking' corner featured short live performances of various genres. Yejun and Eunho received enthusiastic responses performing their self-composed songs 'That One Word, I Like You' and 'But Your Idol.'
PLAVE marked the final stages of the concert with performances of 'I Just Love Ya,' 'Pump up the volume!,' 'Hide and Seek,' and their debut song 'I'll Wait.' In the last song of the main performance, 'Pixel World,' gift boxes opened above the members' heads, and they warmly referred to fans as the 'last puzzle.'
After the concert ended, the 'From' sing-along event and encore requests from the audience continued. PLAVE returned to the stage singing their new song 'BBUU!' released on the 10th. When dancers wearing 'Mme Mimu' mascot costumes appeared, PLAVE joyfully interacted with the audience by singing 'Why? Why? Why?' together.
Taking commemorative photos to record memories, PLAVE expressed gratitude to the staff and fans who accompanied them on the tour journey. Against the backdrop of a quiet countryside house, the members sang 'Bongsunga,' then changed into Santa costumes to heat up the atmosphere and delivered Christmas gifts to fans with the 'Merry PLLIstmas' stage.
PLAVE shared their thoughts, saying, "Thanks to the love and support of PLLI, we were able to stand on the Gocheok Dome stage, something we never even imagined, and this moment truly feels like a miracle. It was because of PLLI, who believed in us and walked together, that we overcame prejudices against virtual idols and became the PLAVE we are today. We will repay you with better music and growth in our never-ending journey ahead."
After the concert, 'CURTAIN CALL' played, showing video letters and handwritten notes from the members, filling the venue with a warm lingering emotion.
