After watching the first comeback stage for Nerdy I think I realised how much Purple Kiss has grown from when I first found them. I’ve supported PK in some form or another since PD48, back then I loved our now lovely main vocal Na Goeun, I had hoped she would make it to the final group then but I think now it was for the best as we wouldn’t the Purple Kiss we have today. After the show’s end, I found the 365 Practice channel and I was so happy to see Goeun and Jieun as well practicing just as hard as they did on PD48. I’m sure it wasn’t easy, but thank you for sticking though it. I saw new faces that I came to love on this channel, namely Eunseong, now Purple Kiss’ Dosie ❤️. I was so amazed by how fluid and put together her dancing was and how sweet her singing was. Really the whole package. As more time passed, I was introduced to our youngest Park Sujin. I thought she had an Adele-like voice and I still do. Sujin you lovely girl thank you for singing for PLORY, it’s truly a gift and I hope to hear you sing for many years to come. Keep improving and doing what you love. Yuki, I’m sure it’s hard a country away from your family for so long. At so young too, I commend you, really. I wouldn’t be able to do that and keep my head on my shoulders. I do have one little request for you, sing more, so many PLORYs adore your singing just as much as your rapping! Speaking of your raps, they’re always a standout from the rest. I always look forward to hearing what you have to add to the song! Chaein and Ireh, you both to PK during a hiatus that had many then fans of 365 Practice worried. Thank you two for being the final pieces that fit in beautifully and completed PK. Chaein, thank you so much for the continued creativity you give to Purple Kiss’ music. I can always tell when a song has been written/produced by you and I really always look forward to your songs the most. Ireh thank you for constantly always bringing your best to the stage. It’s truly amazing to see how you’ll interpret the choreo each time. I always find myself looking at your fancam first bc of how polished and energetic your expressions, dancing, and body control is. I still watch that Nicki Minaj choreo actually it’s good no matter how you look at it.
Now, don’t think I’ve neglected a member or two here. Jieun, I want to say it’s been such a pleasure to see you having fun on the stage for Nerdy. I can tell you’ve put so much heart and hard work in yourself to improve and it has 100% paid off. I’m very proud of you. I hope you know so many PLORYs are so happy to see you shine just as you should. You were really the reason I wrote this little essay. I was so blown away when I saw you perform today. Keep at it. Really 💜.
All seven of you have grown so much, its been truly fantastic to see it all. I looked forward to your debut for over 2 years and I’m so so glad I waited and stuck by for so long. I can’t wait to see what you girls have to offer in the coming years.
I also just want to say to Goeun, thank you for introducing me and many others to PK. Personally, I always found you have a magnetic quality on stage, it’s really a privilege to watch. From you at 18 on PD48 to you now at 22, it’s astonishing to see how far you’ve come. I severely doubt I’ll ever meet you in person, even at a fansign but I’m alright with watching you and PK shine at a distance. Thank you for always being kind to both yourself and others. I think it means quite a lot both me and many others. I know back during Zombie promotions you said you hoped you could make an impact on someones life, even if it was just one person. I promise you, you’ve already reached that goal. I hope you continue to strive towards thag goal of yours though. It’s important.
All seven of you, thank you for being you and for being Purple Kiss!
