Playb's popularity is already at the level of mainstream idols. They also won first place on music shows twice in March and August. In particular, in August, they won first place on female artists from major entertainment companies such as Seraphim (Hybe) and Nmix (JYP). It was an achievement that surpassed idols. Last April, he held a solo concert at the Olympic Hall in Olympic Park, Seoul. The concert was sold out.

The fandom's power was also shown in meaningful numbers in album sales. The initial sales (album sales in the first week of release) of Playb's debut album recorded 27,000 copies, and the initial sales of the first mini album recorded 200,000 copies. The first press of the second mini album sold over 500,000 copies, showing a tremendous increase in sales.

The popularity is also confirmed by the sales of goods. The sales revenue from the pop-up store held at The Hyundai last March exceeded 3 billion won. The pop-up stores of Virtual Idol Isekai Idol, Stella Live, and Playb held at the same time attracted 100,000 people. and recorded sales of over 7 billion won.

Playbe, the virtual idol that has taken over Korea, is expanding its stage to Japan. Playbe's production company, Blast, has joined hands with Hive Japan to begin Playbe's full-scale advance into Japan.

Every time I see an article like this, my heart races. I feel even more amazed because Playb is so special and admirable.
