K-pop group Purple Kiss splits up for members to pursue personal aspirations independently
In a surprising turn of events, the South Korean girl group Purple Kiss has announced their disbandment, set to occur in November 2025. The decision, made by the group's agency RBW, comes as a result of the members' desires to pursue individual dreams and solo careers[1][2][4].
Purple Kiss, known for their self-produced music, strong vocals, and distinctive dark-pop style, debuted in March 2021. The group originally consisted of seven members, but one member, Park Ji-eun, left due to health issues in November 2022[1][2][3]. The group currently comprises Na Go-eun, Dosie, Ireh, Yuki, Chaein, and Swan.
Despite the disbandment, Purple Kiss will remain active until November 2025. They have several exciting projects lined up, including the release of an English-language album at the end of August 2025[1][2][4][5]. The group will also conduct promotional activities in Japan and the United States, hold a final concert in South Korea, and complete all scheduled tours and media appearances to show appreciation for their fans, known as PLORY[1][2][4][5].
RBW, the group's agency, expressed their gratitude to PLORY, the fans who have stood by the group since the beginning. They also mentioned that they spent a long time having serious discussions about the future of the group[1][4].
One of the challenges faced by the group was the change in language for their single, "I Miss My ...". Initially, Dosie was concerned about the English lyrics, but the decision was made to follow the members' individual dreams[1].
Purple Kiss is a self-producing K-pop group, with members involved in songwriting, composing, and other musical aspects. Their hits, such as "Zombie", "Ponzona", and "Sweet Juice", have made a significant impact in the K-pop industry[1].
The disbandment respects each member's wishes and supports their individual dreams, as previously announced. The group will conclude their collective activities with final releases and tours in the coming months[1][2][4][5].
