The virtual idol group PLAVE has captured the attention of global fans by releasing intense practice behind-the-scenes stories and decisive spoilers from their new album preparation process.

During a live broadcast on PLAVE's official YouTube channel on the 26th, the members shared various updates about the album currently in production. The members officially set their comeback for August and teased that this album will also capture a refreshing charm with "summer" and "the sea" as key themes.

In particular, the choreography for this title track is known to be a high-difficulty and intense performance, to the point where all members collectively mentioned having "muscle aches all over their bodies". The youngest member, Hamin, remarked, "Even though we dance every day, we prepared something so incredible this time that it caused muscle aches," raising expectations for a stage with higher completion than ever before.

Behind-the-scenes stories from the recording were also revealed. The members shared an anecdote about their struggle to prevent genre leaks by playing only one second of each member's voice during a recent Weverse LIVE. They stated, "We felt people would guess the genre immediately if we played two seconds, so we maintained strict security by intentionally revealing only one second," showing confidence in the unique color of the new song.

Furthermore, they expressed their passion for musical growth in this album by sharing news of purchasing and practicing with a new instrument, the "kazoo," for more perfect vocalization and breathing.

Fans who watched the video showed enthusiastic reactions, such as "How can I wait until August?", "I'm curious about the intense music video," and "I have a feeling it's going to be a huge hit just by hearing the one-second spoiler," welcoming PLAVE's return.

Meanwhile, PLAVE revealed they are preparing a "Live Viewing" event through CGV cinemas and YouTube live streaming to celebrate their 3rd debut anniversary, planning to continue communicating with fans until their comeback.
