Swan, a member of the group Purple Kiss, has shared her thoughts on the group's disbandment and the end of their activities.
On the 17th, Swan took to her Instagram to express her gratitude, saying, "As of today, Purple Kiss's activities have come to an end. I sincerely thank everyone who has watched over our journey."
Swan reflected on her career, stating, "The most surprising thing about this job, which I jumped into without knowing much, was the love from the fans." She added, "Thanks to the questions from fans, I made resolutions to become a better person."
She continued, "While the name 'Swan' became more familiar than my real name 'Sujin,' I will cherish all the support from those who encouraged me despite my shortcomings. If I ever find myself wavering, I will revisit your words."
Swan also expressed her hopes for the future, saying, "Although the chapter of Purple Kiss has come to a close, I pray that I can live through the second and third chapters well and stand before you again, stronger than before."
Purple Kiss, which included members Na Go-eun, Dosie, Ireh, Yuki, Chaein, and Swan, debuted in 2021 and gained recognition as the "sister group of Mamamoo." Swan, in particular, was praised for her husky voice and exceptional singing ability, earning comparisons to international pop singers.
In August, their agency RBW announced, "We would like to officially address Purple Kiss's group activities and future plans. We apologize for the sudden news," revealing the group's disbandment in November.
Full Message from Swan's SNS
Hello, this is Swan from Purple Kiss.
As of today, Purple Kiss's activities have come to an end.
I sincerely thank everyone who has watched over our journey.
The most surprising thing about this job, which I jumped into without knowing much, was the love from the fans.
Among the many words from Flory, questions like "When are you happiest, Swan?" "What words give you the most strength?" "What moment do you remember the most since debut?" "What do you like?" and comments like "Thanks to Swan, my life became happier. I could endure." "I gained confidence through you, and your confidence is admirable." made me resolve to become a better person.
Thanks to Flory, who constantly helped me know myself, sometimes loved me more than I did, and gave me strength and happiness, I can look back on the past with a smile.
Thank you for filling even the darkest times, when it was hard to take a step outside, with beautiful colors and warm warmth.
Thank you for saying "the best" without hesitation even when I couldn't believe in myself.
Thank you for being with me in my happiest moments.
At our debut showcase, when asked "What kind of artist do you want to be?" I said I hoped our music would flow like an OST or BGM in the lives of listeners.
Thank you for being the protagonists of our story.
While the name 'Swan' became more familiar than 'Sujin,' I will cherish all the support from those who encouraged me despite my shortcomings.
If I ever find myself wavering, I will revisit your words.
Although the chapter of 'Purple Kiss' has come to a close,
I pray that I can live through the second and third chapters well and stand before you again, stronger than before.
Until then, I will also pray for your well-being and support you every day.
I hope that the voice we showed to the world will not be easily forgotten, at least by you.
This has been Swan from Purple Kiss. Thank you.
