K-POP GROUP PROFILE · SIX WITCHES, ONE VERY GOOD CATALOG
PURPLE KISS
PURPLE KISS were the RBW girl group with the nerve to make campy horror, velvet vocals, crooked smiles, and genuinely strange production choices live in the same room. They debuted with seven members, continued with six after Jieun left for health reasons, and ended official group activities in November 2025. The group is over. The music did not evaporate with the notice.
Meet the members first
Goeun
Main vocalist, Produce 48 survivor, and the person you send into a difficult bridge when you would like the song to come back alive.
Dosie
Dancer, vocalist, quiet chaos supplier, and a performer whose lines look deliberate even when the choreography is trying to crawl up the walls.
Ireh
Dancer and vocalist with explosive control. If a performance suddenly acquires extra elbows, attack, and floor work, start here.
Yuki
Japanese rapper, prolific lyric writer, and EL7Z UP member. Her verses gave the group bite instead of decorative rap breaks.
Chaein
Vocalist, dancer, songwriter, producer, former YG trainee, and one of the clearest reasons the group never sounded assembled from spare parts.
Swan
Youngest member, unmistakable low-toned vocalist, guide-vocal specialist, and solo artist with a voice that refuses to become background texture.
Jieun
Original member and vocalist. She left in November 2022 after ongoing health and anxiety concerns; her chapter belongs in the history, not in a footnote nobody opens.

The name sounds romantic. The catalog brought a fog machine.
“Purple” was framed as the color created by the members’ different personalities, while “kiss” meant love. That explanation is sweet. The actual identity was sharper: theatrical horror without abandoning melody, vocal arrangements that trusted the singers, and a sense that every comeback might open a different cursed drawer.
The pre-debut My Heart Skip a Beat and Can We Talk Again already showed both ends of the group—performance attack and slow-burn vocals. “Ponzona” established the witchy house style. “Zombie” loosened the corset and proved they could be funny. “memeM” went abrasive, “Nerdy” made outsider pride into cabaret, and “Sweet Juice” remains the elegant little monster fans keep waving at anyone who asks why this group mattered.
The catalog has eras, mood swings, and actual connective tissue
| Year | Release | Why fans still bring it up |
|---|---|---|
| 2021 | Into Violet | “Ponzona,” the official debut and the full gothic invitation. |
| 2021 | Hide & Seek | “Zombie” turned horror camp into a bright, sticky personality test. |
| 2022 | memeM | A harsher, riskier pivot with an aggressively hypnotic title track. |
| 2022 | Geekyland | “Nerdy” and the group’s best argument for embracing the peculiar. |
| 2023 | Cabin Fever | “Sweet Juice” paired restrained temptation with one of their cleanest concepts. |
| 2023 | Festa | “7HEAVEN” let the group take the windows down for summer. |
| 2024 | BXX | “BBB” mixed bratty playfulness with a tougher performance frame. |
| 2024 | Headway | “ON MY BIKE” pushed guitars and forward motion into the final full comeback era. |
| 2025 | I Miss My… | “DOREMI” arrived as a breezy summer song before the ending notice changed its emotional weather. |
| 2025 | A Violet to Remember | The farewell release and the closing of official group activities. |
Why the ending still irritates people
The talent was not the mystery
PURPLE KISS could sing live, write, produce, dance, build character, and sell concepts that would collapse on a less specific group. The frustrating part was never figuring out whether they had ability. It was watching momentum arrive in different pockets—“Zombie,” “Sweet Juice,” touring, individual viral moments—without one clean long-term push tying those wins together.
The final year made PLORY promote through grief
RBW announced in August 2025 that group activities would end in November, while releases and scheduled activities were still moving. Fans were asked to support the work and process the ending at the same time. That is a very K-pop form of emotional multitasking, and yes, it deserves its own Tea file.
PLORY, so you do not get lost in the woods
PLORY was announced on the group’s 100th day. The name joins PURPLE KISS and “glory”: start with PURPLE KISS, end with glory, and share the beautiful moments in between. For official archives, use the group’s verified channels and RBW notices first. Fan accounts are excellent for context and terrible substitutes for a contract notice.

Panda side quest
Start with “Sweet Juice,” detour into live vocal clips, then compare Chaein’s self-made work, Yuki’s written verses, Swan’s guide-vocal history, and the choreography lines Dosie and Ireh sharpen. The group makes more sense when you stop treating “concept” as wallpaper and look at who was building the sound underneath it.
RaeRae take
PURPLE KISS had the kind of catalog people discover late and immediately become annoying about. I mean that affectionately. They were too vocally capable to be carried by aesthetics, too weird to live comfortably inside one marketable box, and too good at switching tones for the ending to feel like a clean verdict on the music. The business stopped. The evidence remains loud.
