K-pop girl group PURPLE KISS (Na Goeun, Dosie, Ireh, Yuki, Chaein, Swan) has officially kicked off their 2025 North American world tour, ‘PURPLE KISS 2025 TOUR: A Violet to Remember’, painting cities across the continent in radiant violet.

The tour began on October 5 (local time) in Charlotte, marking the start of a sweeping journey across North America. The tour title, A Violet to Remember, draws inspiration from the group’s debut album ‘INTO VIOLET’, continuing the theme of self-identity, artistry, and emotional resonance that defines PURPLE KISS.

During the Charlotte concert, the group captivated the crowd with signature hits that showcased their bold concepts—from witches and zombies to quirky rebels. With a diverse setlist, PURPLE KISS delivered both fierce and refreshing stages, fully embodying the power of “Perkformance” (PURPLE KISS + Performance).

Notably, the group performed every track from their first full English album ‘OUR NOW’, released in August, highlighting their flawless live vocals and global appeal.

Special solo and unit stages added to the excitement. Swan mesmerized with a powerful rendition of Jessie J’s “Masterpiece,” while Dosie, Ireh, and Yuki brought the energy with XG’s “IYKYK” and Jennie’s “ExtraL (feat. Doechii).” Na Goeun and Chaein impressed with their emotional cover of “I Know What You Did Last Summer” by Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello.

At the end of the night, PURPLE KISS shared heartfelt words with their fandom, PLORY, saying:

“Just as your support gives us strength, we hope tonight’s show brought you a little strength too. This will forever be a special memory in our lives. We’ll keep moving forward, thinking of your love.”

Following Charlotte, PURPLE KISS will continue the tour in Washington D.C. (Oct 7), Philadelphia (Oct 8), New York (Oct 10), Boston (Oct 11), Columbus (Oct 13), Detroit (Oct 14), Chicago (Oct 16), Minneapolis (Oct 18), Kansas City (Oct 20), Dallas (Oct 22), Los Angeles (Oct 25), and San Jose (Oct 28), before wrapping up in Taipei on November 9.

With every stop, PURPLE KISS is proving why they’re one of K-pop’s most versatile and visionary groups, leaving behind unforgettable violet memories around the world.
