[Dispatch=Reporter Tae Yoon Jung] PLAVE opened the curtain on their first world tour at their first stadium.
PLAVE held '2026 PLAVE WORLD TOUR 'KEEP IT MANIC' at the main stadium of Incheon Munhak Stadium on the 12th and 13th.
This concert marks the beginning of PLAVE's first world tour since debut. It is also the opening stage of a grand journey to meet fans around the world, starting from Incheon.
In particular, PLAVE entered a stadium-sized venue for the first time since their debut and presented a stage utilizing a massive LED display measuring over 120m wide and over 20m long.
This LED was the largest scale among those used at Incheon Munhak Stadium. Functioning as part of the stage rather than a simple video device, the visuals and direction tailored to the space harmonized with the members' performances, evoking a grand media art show.
The members shared their impressions of entering a stadium for the first time, saying, "This is something we couldn't even imagine back when we were busking in Hongdae. We think this was made possible because of Plave."
The audience was filled with powerful group chanting. The solo stages by members were another highlight of the concert. Ye Jun presented an emotional mood reminiscent of the film 'La La Land' in 'Close To You'.
Eun Ho showcased a bathtub appearance and sensual dance break in 'Daist'. Ha Min completed a unique atmosphere with pointed choreography expressing a spider web in 'Spider'.
Noah left a striking impression with a vampire concept and makeup of awakening from a coffin in 'Good Boy Gone Bad'. Bambi filled the stage alone in 'Sherlock', revealing the presence unique to a solo stage.
In particular, the members' new styling was unveiled for the second time since 2025's 'Dash : Quantum Leap', drawing enthusiastic response. Each stage showcased hairstyles and visual changes tailored to the concept.
As PLAVE approached the ending, they shared, "We hope this moment now will become a precious scene when we look back in the distant future." The audience also requested an encore through group chanting.
They presented a special gift by surprise-revealing an unreleased song to be released later. During Sunday's concert, HOOK dancers who participated in choreography production for 'I Think That's The Case' were captured on the broadcast screen.
PLAVE shared, "There were many firsts today in many ways. We are grateful that we could make it a perfect start thanks to you all." They then connected with fans through a ballad version of 'I'll Wait', concluding the concert with spectacular fireworks.
Meanwhile, PLAVE will visit Kanagawa on the 26th and 27th, Kaohsiung on the 3rd of next month, Bangkok on the 10th, Singapore on the 17th, Taipei on the 23rd and 24th, Macau on the 31st through November 1st, and LA on November 14th, following their Korea concert.
