On the afternoon of April 22 KST, VLAST CEO Lee Seong Gu held a press conference in Seoul, addressing concerns regarding the virtual idol group PLAVE.

CEO Lee Seong Gu emphasized the importance of risk management for PLAVE, stating, "I believe it should be approached similarly to traditional idol management. It's essential to be cautious about personal matters and to use appropriate language and behavior, much like with real-life idols."

Expressing his concerns, CEO Lee Seong Gu mentioned, "Initially, we anticipated interactions only through broadcasts, without direct encounters with fans. However, we've observed instances where fans have attempted to visit artists' homes or the company."

Highlighting the need for increased security measures, Lee urged fans to refrain from such actions, emphasizing, "We are enhancing security protocols, and we kindly request fans to respect the privacy of our artists, just as they cherish our virtual idols."

Comprising five members, PLAVE has been gaining traction in the entertainment industry. Following their success on music shows in March, the group held their inaugural fan concert, marking a significant milestone in their journey.

This is disturbing, nobody is safe from these freaks. Why do these weirdos have to try and invade artists private lives, its just not normal. I hope if VLAST catches any of these creeps, that they find a way to prosecute them, let these 'fans' suffer real life consequences for their actions.
