PURPLE K!SS is currently on their 2023 The Festa Tour, which began on Halloween in Boston, and continues stateside. The six-member girl group under RBW Entertainment consisting of Na Goeun, Dosie, Ireh, Yuki, Chaein, and Swan took time to answer our questions so that we could learn more about them as they travel across the U.S. meeting PLORY for the first time. If you happen to see them in your area, definitely take a moment to check them out. We did, and we can promise you a fabulous show. Sharing what makes them special, their aspirations, and soul animals, take a moment to read and learn more about this powerhouse girl group. And if you haven’t listened to PURPLE K!SS yet, stop and listen so you don’t miss out on something special.

Q: What makes PURPLE K!SS stand out from other groups?

Chaein: I think our vocal colors are something that can’t be left out. Also, I believe our teamwork shines on the stage, which I take pride in that.

Q: Can you let us know one aspect of each members’ character that you want to highlight?

Dosie: You need to state facts that have solid evidence to Dosie!

Ireh: Give a lot of compliments! That will make her do better!

Yuki:  Hug her a lot, but don’t try to talk to her all the time!

C:  She is the queen of curiosity who loves interesting things!

Swan:  She is the cute troublemaker maknae, just watching her will make you laugh.

Q: Are there groups that have inspired your music? Who and how?

D:  I really admire Sunmi’s performances. I try to learn a lot from her expressions, attitude, and how she feels the music on the stage. I even started playing bass because I was so impressed by her bass playing.

I:  I’ve loved 2NE1’s music since I was young. Singing along to their songs, I started to nurture my dream of becoming a singer.

Q: I read that the “Purple” in PURPLE K!SS is made with the idea that the purple reflects more than one color. Is there a particular color with this purple that you feel reflects you the best and why?

Y: White. I think our team has the ability to pull off any concept well!

Q: As a group that is involved in creating your own music, has there been an instance when you really struggled with a song? How did you overcome that?

C: The most difficult moment is probably when the results are not satisfying. In such situations, I just try again and again until I'm satisfied, and that's how I overcome it.

Q: With your first U.S. tour, what are you most looking forward to?

Na Goeun: I'm looking forward to the response and cheers from the U.S. fans during the performance, as well as their reactions after seeing PURPLE K!SS's stage for the first time.

Q: What are your favorite songs to perform and why?

S: “Ponzona!” It's because it feels like debuting all over again in that moment.

Q: What has been your favorite concept so far? Is there a concept that you want to try you haven’t yet?

I: I would like to try a dreamy and ethereal concept!

Y: I liked the sophisticated concept like "Sweet Juice." Next time, I'd like to try a hipster concept!

Q: What hobbies or fun things do you love to do when not on a schedule?

D: I enjoy going to cafes or art exhibitions alone!

Q: Do you have a favorite item or accessory? What makes it special?

S: I like to have my nails done. It helps me enhance my concept when I'm on stage, and looking at beautiful nails is a small source of happiness for me!

Q: If you had the choice to go anywhere in the world for a holiday, where would you like to go?

G: I’d like to go to the Maldives!

Q: What animal do you think best represents you?

G: Rabbits. I think I kinda look like a rabbit recently.

D: Black cat or a shark! During my trainee days, the producer who composed "Ponzona" told me that I have an image of a black cat on stage, since then, I've considered the black cat as my representative animal. Sharks are just animals that I love... hehe.

I:  A squirrel!

Y:  A cat or a fox. Lately, I've been heard a lot that my personality is more like a puppy.

C: A kitty!

S: A SWAN! Because it’s my name!

Q: For any PLORY who are having a hard time right now, what message do you want to send them?

I: I hope that PLORYs never forget that there are people who are always by their side, and we can overcome difficult times together. We'll also support PLORYs through our music so that they can stand up again!

Q: Any last words for our readers and PLORY out there?

S:  Finally, we've come to the U.S. which was our dream. Thank you so much for waiting for us, and let's enjoy the time ahead! I love you!

C: To PLORY and all the readers, it's been great being able to share new things with you. We'll continue to work hard to show you the best of PURPLE KISS!
