Purple Kiss is the first girl group from South Korean agency RBW entertainment in seven years, since the debut of K-pop powerhouses MAMAMOO in 2014. They revealed that they originally wrote their debut single 'Ponzona' when they were trainees.

During a showcase for their first-ever mini-album 'Into Violet,' the girl group spoke about the work that went into their debut release. Member Swan, who co-wrote and -produced 'Ponzona' with Na Goeun and Yuki revealed that they had originally written the song for 'a trainee evaluation'. (Article Source: NME ASIA)

PURPLE KISS has been called 'MAMAMOO's younger sisters' for being the first girl group to debut after MAMAMOO under RBW. Dosie said, 'It would be a lie to say that we didn't feel the pressure, but that motivated us to work harder to prepare. It feels like a lot of people have high expectations of us because of our seniors, so we're working hard to live up to them.”

The meaning of "Purple Kiss" is that the members bring their own colors to make a harmonious whole, just as "purple" is a harmonious blend of multiple colors. Chaein said, "I think that 'balance' is what sets us apart. We have a good balance when it comes to vocals and dancing, so we can maximize those elements in our performance. I want us to be a group that can pull off anything.”

Their debut track, "Ponzona, means "poison" in Spanish. Ireh said, "I think that the chorus is the key point of the song. It leaves a strong impression that people will remember even after hearing it just once."

Dosie added, "There is a hand gesture that we do that looks like a 'kiss’ at the part Ireh mentioned. I hope that people will look out for that.”
