It's quite surprising that Purple Kiss isn't getting more attention. Just like their sunbaes Mamamoo, they're a talented group with more mature vibes compared to other girl groups. They've also put out some insanely catchy bops since their debut in 2021.
Purple Kiss started off the year strong with a fan concert held in Seoul in January 2024. While there hasn't been of news of a comeback just yet, you can expect great things from this highly underrated group.
