Purple Kiss (Korean: 퍼플키스; stylized in all caps) is a South Korean girl group formed by RBW in 2020. The group consists of six members: Na Go-eun, Dosie, Ireh, Yuki, Chaein and Swan.[1] Originally a seven-member group, Park Ji-eun left the group on November 18, 2022, due to health issues. They are considered to be a self-producing group, with members involved in songwriting, composing and other aspects of their music and showmanship.[2][3]

The group released two pre-debut digital singles—"My Heart Skip a Beat" in November 2020, and "Can We Talk Again" in February 2021—before their official debut on March 15, 2021, with the EP Into Violet.[4][5][6]
