PLAYBACK, comeback on February 3rd… Intense concept photos revealed

Virtual idol group PLAYBACK is returning with their third mini-album.

Playb began taking pre-orders for their third mini-album ‘Caligo Pt. 1’ through various online music sites on the 13th.

This album ‘Caligo Pt. 1’ will be released in three versions: Fusitive, Vanguard, and Photo Album. Each version has a different personality, including photocards for each member, a photobook, photo stand, sticker set, accordion poster, Polaroid, carabiner, and logo sticker, and the package design emphasizes a dreamy and mysterious atmosphere, stimulating fans‘ desire to own it.

PLAVE’s mini-album comes five months after the release of their digital single ’Pump Up The Volume!‘ in August of last year. The concept photo A version that was released on the 9th used two intense colors, black and red, to maximize sexiness and charisma. It garnered much anticipation for the new album with its mature visuals and concept, completely departing from the lively and bubbly charm shown in the previous single. Concept Moving Poster B and Concept Photo B are scheduled to be released sequentially from the 20th.

PLAVE topped Melon chart HOT100 and TOP100 on the day of the release of their new song ‘Pump Up The Volume!’ in August, and caught everyone‘s attention by rising to #1 on a terrestrial music show. They also proved their popularity by reaching 1 billion cumulative streaming based on all of their released songs, making them a member of Melon’s hall of fame ‘Billions Club’ in the shortest time ever. Last year, it also ranked 2nd overall among the Hyundai Department Store pop-up store events.

PLAVE‘s third mini-album, ‘Caligo Pt. 1’, will be released on various music sites at 6 p.m. on February 3.
