PLAVE continued its unrivaled global influence by topping the FANNSTAR Global Hot Star Ranking for 89 consecutive weeks.

PLAVE ranked first in the first week of June FANNSTAR Global Hot Star Ranking voting, held from June 1 to June 8, with 1,230,732 votes. Stray Kids placed second, while TOMORROW X TOGETHER ranked third.

The Global Hot Star Ranking is linked to the “Global Hot Star Award” at the upcoming 2026 THE FACT MUSIC AWARDS (TMA). As a portion of the preliminary voting results is reflected in the final award selection, the ranking continues to attract significant attention from fans worldwide. Having maintained the top spot for an extended period, PLAVE is considered one of the strongest contenders for this year’s award.

Benefits tied to consecutive No. 1 achievements also continue. If PLAVE reaches 100 consecutive weeks at No. 1, a large-scale global advertising project at COEX Mall 9TO9 CUBE will be launched.

Recently, PLAVE received an enthusiastic response after performing at the 2026 Weverse Con Festival held at Seoul’s KSPO DOME on June 6. The group showcased powerful performances of songs including “Dash,” “Born Savage,” “Why? Why? Why?”, “I Think So,” and “Our Movie,” demonstrating both strong stage presence and stable live vocals.

In particular, PLAVE revealed a different side of its charm with a special performance of Rain’s “Instead of Saying Goodbye” near the end of the show. The group actively communicated with the audience and energized the venue, earning praise from global fans for its diverse concepts and high-quality performances.
