Marking their first-ever concert in Singapore, PLAVE brought their [KEEP IT MANIC] tour to APEX@EXPO on 17 October 2026. Comprising five members, Yejun, Noah, Bamby, Eunho and Hamin, the virtual boy group has built a following through its music and virtual performances. Performing through their virtual avatars, PLAVE kicked off the night with an energetic presence, drawing cheers from Singapore PLLIs.
Fans were treated to familiar favourites such as “The 6th Summer” and “WAY 4 LUV”, as well as more upbeat numbers like “Dash” and “Pump Up The Volume!”. One highlight was PLAVE’s rendition of “Golden”, which saw all five members showcase their vocal abilities and performance skills.
The solo stages gave each member a chance to show a different side of themselves. Yejun opened with The Carpenter’s “Close To You”, bringing a dreamy, La La Land-inspired feel to the stage. Eunho followed with Junny’s “TASTE”, taking on a more sensual concept, while Hamin performed Hoshi’s (SEVENTEEN) “Spider”, pulling off its sharp and intricate choreography. Noah brought out his bad boy side with TOMORROW X TOGETHER’s “Good Boy Gone Bad”, while Bamby took on SHINee’s “Sherlock”, drawing plenty of cheers from the crowd.
The members also had some fun during the ment, discussing whose solo stages they would have chosen for themselves. The conversation soon turned into a mini dance battle, with the members attempting to recreate the challenging foot-clasp move from Yejun’s “Close To You”, much to the cheers of the crowd.
Beyond their performance, one of the highlights of the show was PLAVE’s constant interactions with the crowd. The members frequently engaged with fans between stages, showing their appreciation for the cheers and support received throughout the show. Even taking it a step further, PLAVE invited fans to join them in a duet of “HMPH!”, turning the performance into a fun sing-along that brought the members and PLLIs closer together.
PLAVE also made sure to show how much they had prepared for this visit to Singapore, putting their Singlish lessons to good use during the ments. Bamby hoped to make the day feel extra “shiok” for fans, while Hamin shared that the audience looked so cute that he simply could not “tahan” it. The members also expressed how much they had missed Singapore PLLIs, affectionately describing their fans as “chio”, “yandao” and “chiobu”. Beyond the concert venue, PLAVE also shared that they hoped to visit local attractions such as Merlion Park, Marina Bay Sands and Gardens by the Bay one day. The group also listed several local favourites they hoped to try, including chicken rice, kaya toast and egg fried rice.
During the ballad “Wait For You”, PLAVE’s vocals took centre stage, drawing PLLIs into the moment. As the concert drew to a close, the atmosphere grew more sentimental, with fans singing along to “Lunar Hearts” alongside the five members. The venue was soon filled with confetti, bringing PLAVE’s first concert in Singapore to an end. Before leaving the stage, the members expressed their hopes of returning to Singapore, a sentiment that fans would no doubt share.
