After four impactful years in the K-pop industry, PURPLE KISS is preparing to say goodbye — but not before giving fans one last unforgettable experience.
On August 24, the group revealed the dates and cities for their farewell U.S. tour, titled “A Violet to Remember.”
The announcement comes just weeks after RBW Entertainment confirmed that PURPLE KISS will officially disband in November 2025, bringing their journey as a group to a close.
Despite the bittersweet news, the group is determined to express their gratitude to fans with new music and a final round of promotions.
A Tour That Spans the U.S.
The “A Violet to Remember” tour is scheduled to hit 13 major cities across the United States. The group will kick things off in Charlotte, North Carolina on October 5, and wrap up in San Jose, California on October 28. Here’s the full itinerary:
- Oct 5 – Charlotte, NC
- Oct 7 – Washington, DC
- Oct 8 – Philadelphia, PA
- Oct 10 – New York City, NY
- Oct 11 – Boston, MA
- Oct 13 – Columbus, OH
- Oct 14 – Detroit, MI
- Oct 16 – Chicago, IL
- Oct 18 – Minneapolis, MN
- Oct 20 – Kansas City, MO
- Oct 22 – Dallas, TX
- Oct 25 – Los Angeles, CA
- Oct 28 – San Jose, CA
The tour’s title, “A Violet to Remember”, is a heartfelt nod to the group’s identity — the name “PURPLE KISS” symbolized a blend of love and artistic expression, with “purple” representing diversity and creativity, and “kiss” symbolizing love and connection with fans.
A Final English Album: “OUR NOW”
Ahead of the tour, PURPLE KISS is releasing a special parting gift: their first full English-language album, titled “OUR NOW.” The album is set to drop on August 31 at 6 p.m. KST.
This release holds special meaning, as it marks their last music project together before disbandment.
It will not only showcase their growth as artists but also serve as a love letter to their international fanbase, especially in the U.S., where they’ve built a dedicated following.
The End of an Era for a Rising Group
PURPLE KISS debuted in March 2021 under RBW, the same agency behind MAMAMOO. From the start, they stood out for their self-producing talents, impressive vocals, unique concepts, and genre-blending musicality.
With hits like “Zombie,” “Ponzona,” and “Sweet Juice,” they carved a space for themselves as one of the most promising girl groups of the fourth generation.
Their versatility was evident across each comeback — from dreamy gothic vibes to retro pop and dark R&B, PURPLE KISS never shied away from reinvention.
Despite their strong creative identity and loyal fanbase (known as PLORY), the group faced challenges common in a saturated and highly competitive K-pop landscape.
In early August, RBW officially confirmed that the group would disband in November 2025 after completing a series of scheduled activities.
Mixed Emotions from Fans
The announcement of their disbandment was met with a wave of emotions from fans. While many expressed heartbreak over the group’s short lifespan, others focused on celebrating their legacy and supporting the members’ futures — whether in music, acting, or other ventures.
Reactions on social media ranged from nostalgic and grateful to fiercely supportive:
“PURPLE KISS deserved more time, but I’m proud of everything they accomplished in just four years.”
“Let’s make this last tour unforgettable. A violet we’ll never forget.”
“OUR NOW might be the end of PURPLE KISS, but it’s the beginning of something new for each member.”
What Comes Next for the Members?
While RBW has yet to confirm post-disbandment plans for the individual members, fans are hopeful they’ll remain active in the entertainment industry.
Many of the members — like Na Go Eun, Dosie, and Swan — have already gained recognition for their vocal and performance abilities and could pursue solo or sub-unit careers.
Others may explore acting, variety shows, or even international collaborations, especially after their English-language album introduces them to a wider audience.
A Farewell That’s Personal and Poignant
PURPLE KISS’s farewell isn’t just a goodbye — it’s a celebration of their artistry, their journey, and the bond they’ve built with fans around the world.
With a final album, a U.S. tour, promotions in Japan, and one last concert in Korea, they’re going out with love, dignity, and gratitude.
As the members prepare to take the stage for their final performances, one message rings clear: this is not just the end — it’s also the beginning of the next chapter in each of their stories.
