They exist only on screens. Their kindness doesn't: a virtual boy band gives ₩100 million (about $72,000) to UNICEF

PLAVE never walk into a room — the five members of the South Korean group are virtual performers. But the cheque was real. The UNICEF Korea Committee announced on 2 November that PLAVE have donated ₩100 million (about $72,000) for children around the world whose lives are threatened by conflict, disasters and poverty, funding clean water, nutrition, health care and education. The group signed a social contribution partnership with UNICEF Korea in August, and later this month they will give the keynote speech at The Child Festa, on the theme of children's mental health in the digital world — fitting messengers, arriving on World Children's Day, 20 November.
