Sadly, I get increasingly picky about rookie groups as time goes by – it’s truly not about quality or personal preference, but rather a natural result of the ever increasing age gap. I want everyone in this industry to succeed and do well, but I just can’t really connect to people who are more than a decade younger than I am. Most new idols are actually closer in age to the sixth grade elementary school students I teach, which sometimes makes me feel rather awkward. So I usually only pick up a couple of newly debuted groups each year, and PURPLE KISS is definitely one of my choices for 2021. They totally wowed me with their debut “Ponzoña,” and I was super excited to see what their very first comeback would be like.
