Today, PLAVE’s Bambi celebrates his birthday with a significant achievement. He has topped the July birthday poll conducted by Giftree, the fan voting service of WikiTree. The poll’s rankings are determined entirely by fan votes.
From June 5 to June 30, Bambi received 2,849 votes, securing a 32% share and the first place position. Following him was Kim Jung-yeon with 2,336 votes (26%) and Leeteuk with 560 votes (6%).
Currently, in the ongoing August birthday poll, 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 poll will get additional exposure through digital billboards at Gangnam Station and Hongdae Entrance Station, as well as a banner on the WikiTree homepage.
Bambi, who celebrates his birthday today, is PLAVE’s main dancer and choreographer alongside member Hamin. He co-directed the choreography, composition, and staging for their first fan concert held in April. 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 favourite 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.”
As Bambi continues to shine in both music and other ventures, his fans eagerly celebrate his birthday and his ongoing successes.
