Virtual idol group PLAVE has stepped forward to donate for the recovery from the high-rise apartment fire disaster in Hong Kong. On the 28th, PLAVE stated through their official Weibo, "We at PLAVE are deeply saddened to hear about the disaster in Hong Kong, China." They continued, "We extend our sincere condolences to all the victims and express our deep respect to those who risked their lives and dedicated themselves to the rescue efforts."

PLAVE expressed concern for their fans in Hong Kong, saying, "Our hearts are heavy knowing that many people are suffering greatly due to this sudden tragedy." They decided to donate 250,000 Hong Kong dollars, approximately 47 million Korean won, to the Hong Kong Red Cross. PLAVE added, "We hope this donation will be used meaningfully for fire suppression, victim relief, and the supply of daily necessities, and we sincerely pray for everyone's safety."

The fire occurred on the afternoon of the 26th at the high-rise apartment 'Wong Pok Court' in the Tai Po area of Hong Kong. The fire spread to 7 out of 8 buildings and was completely extinguished on the morning of the 28th after 43 hours. According to Hong Kong authorities, at least 94 people died and 76 were injured in the fire. Among the injured were 11 firefighters involved in the fire suppression.

This fire is expected to be recorded as the worst disaster in 77 years since the 1948 Hong Kong warehouse fire, which claimed 176 lives. Authorities are currently conducting an accurate count of the approximately 200 missing persons.

PLAVE's donation has become a major topic in Hong Kong, with many fans supporting it. Through this donation, PLAVE expressed their intention to comfort the victims and their families and to have a positive impact on Hong Kong society.

PLAVE plans to continue various activities to fulfill their social responsibilities. In addition to this donation, they will engage in various charitable activities to communicate with fans and strive to bring about positive change.

The Hong Kong fire disaster shocked many people, and there is a growing call for strengthening safety measures across society to prevent such tragedies from happening again. Voices hoping that support and solidarity from all sectors will provide practical help to the victims are increasing.

PLAVE's donation carries significant meaning beyond mere financial support, conveying a message of social solidarity and comfort. They pledge to continue contributing to society in various ways going forward.
