On July 15, PLAVE's Bambi celebrates his birthday, and he has secured the top spot in the July birthday poll conducted by Giftree, the fan voting service of the social news platform WikiTree. The rankings are determined entirely by fan votes.
In the poll held from June 5 to June 30, Bambi received 2,849 votes, achieving a 32% share and ranking first. Following him, Kim Jung-yeon secured second place with 2,336 votes (26%), and Leeteuk came in third with 560 votes (6%).
As of the current date, in the ongoing August birthday poll starting from July 1, LE SSERAFIM's Kazuha is leading with 26,143 votes, followed by Jung Seung-hwan (19,433 votes) and LE SSERAFIM's Kim Chae-won (2,033 votes). The most popular star for the August birthday poll will receive additional exposure through digital billboards at Gangnam Station and Hongdae Entrance Station, as well as a banner on the WikiTree homepage.
Bambi, celebrating his birthday today, is PLAVE's main dancer and choreographer along with member Hamin. He co-directed the choreography, composition, and staging for their first fan concert held in April. Additionally, in their debut song "I'll Wait," he showcased his impressive vocal range with a three-octave high note and delivered emotional and boyish vocals in covers of Younha's "Event Horizon," GilguBonggu's "I Hope It Will Be Windy," and Baek Yerin's "Square."
Bambi's influence extends beyond music. Two months ago, his YouTube video featuring his favorite snack "konjac chewy candy" led to the product selling out across all sales channels. Bang Hyun-jun, CEO of Woojuchanggo, the distributor of the product, revealed in an interview with WikiTree, "Since it was featured on YouTube, our monthly average sales have increased by approximately 150%. The continued purchases by PLAVE fans demonstrate Bambi's significant influence, for which we are always grateful."
