On November 10th, K-Pop rookie girl group, Purple Kiss, made their Kentucky debut at The Art Sanctuary in Louisville! Members Goeun, Dosie, Ireh, Yuki, Chaein, and Swan all came together to greet their Louisville PLORY!
The girls brought the house down from the jump opening with fan favorites, "Nerdy," and "Pretty Psycho."' After the members introduced themselves and the tour, they kept the hits coming with their iconic title tracks, "'memeM," and "Zombie!" Members Chaein, and Ireh left the stage, and left us with Swan, Yuki, Goeun, and Dosie to entertain fans. Swan addressed the crowd on the correct pronunciation of Lousiville, stating how hard the members tried to get the pronunciation right, PLORYs assured the girls they were doing it correctly! The members mentioned that Lousiville was known for their whiskey and that some of the members had a drink the night prior. Fans got a laugh out of maknae Swan pouting that she is still too young to drink in America but assured us that the next time they come to Louisville she will be old enough and she'll have a drink with her fellow members and PLORY!
Ireh and Chaein come back out giving fans a phenomenal unit performance of Charlie Puth's, "We Don't Talk Anymore," showing off the Main Vocalist and Main Dancer's charms. After that, they brought out chairs and gave fans a sizzling performance of Michel Buble's "Sway, making fans swoon. Ireh later pointed out a fan's sign that said, 'I'm Chaein's Girlfriend," and Chaein giggled saying she was super nervous to be performing in front of her girlfriend! Swan, Goeun, and Dosie then lit the stage up with their cover of Charlie Puth's, "Lightswitch," followed by a show-stopping performance of Lady GaGa's "Rain On Me." After all units finished the girls told us how they all were super hands on with choosing the units and which songs they sang! (Member Yuki didn't participate in Unit stages, as she was promoting with her project groups ELzUp during concert preparations, please support Yuki in both her groups!)
We got to know the members a little better during their segment "Ask Purki," where fans got to ask the members their undying questions via post-it notes! Fans asked Yuki to teach them something in Japanese, she taught them how to say, "That's awesome," which quickly became the motto for the night. Another fan requested the group sing their song, "Biscuit," which they happily obliged with an acapella version of the song. Another question involved Swan once again mentioning wanting to drink with her members and stating that she was going to that night, causing Dosie to look at the crowd ans exclaim, "She is crazy!" After all the fun and games, the members of Purple Kiss and Louisville PLORY felt much closer after this!
Like all good things, Purple Kiss' first time in Louisville had to come to an end! Putting on an adorable encore, fitted with cute headbands, hats, and keychains, the members of Purple Kiss bid their Louisville PLORY goodbye! What an amazing first meeting between artist and fan, sealed with a pinky promise to meet right back there where they first met!
