Purplay is a 4-member female group who debuted under Purplei Entertainment on February 7th, 2013 with “Love and Remember” MV.

According to their company, “The Purplay girls look like fragile girls, but they’re a new-concept idol that will show you a powerful, intense dance performance that you haven’t seen before in girl groups. They were trainees for over 4 years so they can put on a charismatic stage through rap and dance that even men will have a hard time following.”

Even before their official debut, the girls were already showing their multiple talents to the world. On January 31st, they had revealed a dance practice video of the four members dancing to Cher Lloyd‘s “Swagger Jagger.”

Profiles:

Woomi:

Birthday: April, 1992
Position: Leader and Main Rapper
Height: 164 cm
Weight: 46 kg

Woomi’s stage name was given in honor of her CEO’s first love. About that, Woomi stated ““I realized how much he was expecting of me.”.

Jiyo:

Birthday: February, 1993
Position: Main Vocalist
Blood Type: AB
Height: 167 cm
Weight: 47 kg

Jiyo’s father is Lee Byeong Moon, the guest vocalist of the legendary band Sinawae.

Eeple:

Birthday: February, 1993
Position: Vocalist and Rapper
Height: 163 cm
Weight: 46 kg

Eeple’s stage name was given by Woomi because of her impressive clean and special image. About this, Eeple said, “Woomi unni said it’s a name she’s thought of for a while. It means ‘words connecting pure sounds’. I’m thankful for Woomi unni for providing me a pretty name.”

Seolha:

Stage Name: Seolha
Birthday: January, 1994
Position: Vocalist and maknae

 

Story:

Their debut stage was on M!Countdown on February 28th.

Only a while after their official debut, the girls from Purplay were invited to Arirang Radio, where they gave an interview and sang their title song.

Unfortunatelly, right after the release of their debut MV, Purplay was victim of a lot of controversies. It appears that their dance break showed a mix of two choreographies by dance crew i.aM.mE from America’s Best Dance Crew Season 6 and it was not properly credited. This delayed the music video drop for a week but it was ended up being released with permission from i.aM.mE and credits to the crew in the description.

Sadly, so many crtics delayed their comeback and for now there are no signs of a new song from Purplay. However, the girls have kept posting videos on their YouTube channel, which proves that they’re still around.

Let’s hope that they will come back soon!

    I've loved Asia in general since I was a little kid, when I used to prefer animes over regular cartoons and my friends thought I was weird. While I became older, my love for Asian culture grew up and I began to listen to japanese music and watch japanese dramas, which I fell in love with. A few years ago, my friends dragged me into the k-pop world and I began so involved with Korea that I think I will never be able to overcome my love for it. I now dream of studying in Korea and, hopefully, working in Seoul and living the rest of my life there. I believe that there's no k-pop group that I really don't like, but my ultimate biases are G-Dragon, Heechul, Hongki, CL, Lee Hi, Hani and Hyuna. I also like YG Appa and JYP a lot, but as fatherly figures, not really as idols.
