PURPLE KISS' youngest member Swan is drawing attention online for her newest livestream.
On social media platform X (Twitter), netizens spread a clip showing Swan interacting with her fans in a live broadcast. However, many emphasized on Swan's plea to agency RBW, which begged for PURPLE KISS' better treatment.
According to the video, a fan asked Swan regarding the delay of their PURPLE KISS' concert in Korea and inquired if it was due to the production for an official lightstick and membership.
"Is the Korean concert delayed because of the preparation of the official lightstick and for the official PLORY (membership)?" the fan inquired. This led Swan to give an emotional take on the matter, as she addressed the fans' concerns.
Swan started by getting RBW's attention and emphasizing how these precious items that represent the bond between PURPLE KISS and PLORYs are long overdue. The maknae even highlighted that PURPLE KISS will now be entering their fourth anniversary this 2024.
"The are so many PLORYs and PURPLE KISS members who want official lightsticks and official PLORY memberships, and I'm waiting for the concert. Are you listening? RBW, are you listening? Really, please make it, please, we are working really hard.
And I'll continue working hard, please. It's our fourth anniversary this year. Official lightstick and official PLORY membership, we still don't have it. Does it make sense? But you must have circumstances, right? I understand.
It's not that I don't understand, (but) I'm urging you one more time (laughs), it's not a threat."
Netizens and fans expressed frustration on the platform, with many directing their annoyance against RBW. Meanwhile, some praised Swan for speaking up. Here's how they reacted:
"The sight, RBW really don't plan anything I'm going to burn this company."
"PURPLE KISS doesn't have a lightstick yet? Groups that have debuted after them already have one?! WTH RBW."
"Even your own artist is calling you out. RBW do better @RBW_OfficialTwt."
"I'm not surprised with RBW. If they can treat MAMAMOO who built their company from scratch badly, they can do the same/worse to others."
"We should ask the company and not the members about this, they get so stressed because they don't have an answer."
"No, they're getting the f(x) treatment. I hope RBW stops this BS."
the bar for kpop companies is in hell's third basement and they still fall so fucking short... https://t.co/8IamuvuqUE
Feel so bad for swan she’s one of the best 4 th gen vocalist stuck in such a lazy company who doesn’t even do bare minimum for the groups they have. https://t.co/NPPTxTMuL8
I wonder why this company is so consistently horrid to their groups across the board. Are they funnelling/laundering their funds away to secret bank accounts or something? Do they even want to make money anymore...? 🤔 😅 https://t.co/9qIHIMqSux
