Get Ready To Stan MAMAMOO's Juniors—Everything You Need To Know About RBW's New Girl Group, PURPLE K!SS

On July 19, RBW announced that MAMAMOO is finally getting a “little sister” group! PURPLE K!SS will likely be debuting in the latter half of 2020—here’s all you need to know if you want to stan these talented girls as soon as their first single drops.

RBW revealed PURPLE K!SS with a short video featuring the logo and the members’ headshots. The group’s logo is made up of two intertwined hearts in the shape of lips, and unsurprisingly, the official color seems to be purple.

As of right now, PURPLE K!SS’s concept hasn’t been announced. Their senior group, MAMAMOO, is known for not having a fixed concept beyond their focus on vocals. Whether PURPLE K!SS will follow a similar path remains to be seen, but so far, they seem to have a more mature vibe than many rookie groups.

Their YouTube channel, which already has over 150,000 subscribers, has pre-debut videos of PURPLE K!SS covering MAMAMOO’s “gogobebe”, Hwasa’s “Maria”, Red Velvet’s “Psycho”, BLACKPINK Jennie’s “SOLO”, and more.
