Alright time for something fun…. I finally learned who the PLAVE members are (well 3 of them). I got really curious and did some digging, went through a few sites, and sure enough found them. I’m still searching for the last 2 BUT I’m just glad I got some of them, I’ve been casually wondering for a bit (the 3 of them are in fact former idols or are idol adjacent). When it comes to PLAVE I understand the argument and they are also arguably the most ethical kpop group ever: (mostly) hidden identities, privacy, etc. But the fact they’ve been doing so well in streams and popularity annoys me because you cannot tell me they work harder than idols who have to adhere to stricter beauty standards, actually perform IRL in front of people, and manage every microexpression. Anyways idk where I’m going with this other than I’m glad I got some of them figured out 😈
