Okay, K-pop fam — this one hits hard. In a recent chill livestream, Purple Kiss’s Swan answered a fan asking if she’d stay in the industry. Her reply was blunt and honest: she’ll keep singing, but she doesn’t want to be an idol in a group anymore. As she put it, “I don’t think idols need to be in a team anymore… I think it’s enough.”
Fans reacted with a mix of sadness and understanding — Swan’s comment makes a Purple Kiss reunion unlikely, and many pointed out she long deserved more recognition during her idol years. The mood online was heartfelt: supporters thanked her for her honesty and wished her success as a singer, whatever form that takes.
Quick context for anyone catching up:
- Swan debuted with Purple Kiss in 2018.
- Purple Kiss disbanded in 2025.
- Despite disbanding, the members remain under exclusive RBW contracts until March 2028.
- Swan said she will continue to sing but doesn’t want to continue as an idol in a team.
As a fan, I’m sad to see the group chapter close, but I’m also excited to hear Swan’s voice in whatever she chooses next. Forever rooting for her.
