Former Purple Kiss member Swan has surprised fans by revealing that she no longer wants to continue life as a K-pop idol.

During a recent livestream, the singer candidly shared her thoughts on her future career, explaining that while her passion for music remains unchanged, she no longer wishes to promote as an idol in a K-pop group. Her honest comments quickly spread across social media, leaving many fans saddened while also earning widespread support.

The topic arose when a fan asked Swan whether she planned to continue working in the K-pop industry following Purple Kiss’ disbandment. In response, Swan clarified that she intends to remain active as a singer but no longer sees herself pursuing the traditional idol path.

She explained that what she no longer wants is to promote as part of a group, adding that today’s artists do not necessarily have to follow the conventional idol group model. According to Swan, she feels she has experienced enough of that chapter in her career and is ready to move forward in a different direction.

Swan’s candid remarks sparked an emotional response from fans. Many interpreted her comments as effectively ending hopes of a future Purple Kiss reunion, with some expressing disappointment that one of the group’s standout members no longer wishes to return to idol group activities.

At the same time, many supporters praised Swan for speaking honestly about her aspirations and voiced their respect for her decision to prioritize a career path that better suits her goals.

Fans also noted that Swan’s vocal abilities were not always fully recognized during her time in Purple Kiss. Widely praised for her distinctive voice and musical talent, many believe she has the potential to thrive as a solo artist outside the highly competitive K-pop idol system. Supporters hope that pursuing an independent music career will allow Swan to showcase her artistry more freely and build an identity that reflects her own creative vision.

Swan debuted as a member of Purple Kiss in 2021 and remained with the group until its disbandment in 2025. Although the group’s activities have ended, the members are still under exclusive contracts with RBW Entertainment through March 2028. As a result, Swan is expected to continue working with the agency while exploring new opportunities as a solo singer.

Swan’s comments highlight the changing realities of the modern K-pop industry, where more artists are choosing careers that extend beyond the traditional idol framework. While she has decided to leave behind the idol label, Swan emphasized that her love for music remains as strong as ever.

For many fans, her words mark not the end of her journey, but the beginning of a new chapter one in which she can fully express herself as an independent artist.
