Anyways yeah I wish companies like Majesty would just do their job and announce their disbandment and/or at least give out statements, whether it be about the group, fans, or any other things. I feel terrible for the former PD101 trainee and PurpleBeck and Especially poor old Kite. They were supposed to debut a long time ago but it never happened. They were also supposed to be their 1st male group and 1st k band. So much potential ruined. And of course I feel bad for the fans not being given a statement on why they weren’t given everything that they were told they’d receive. Like why lie about that?!
ah their story makes me so angry because they had so much potential!! the social media tactic was pretty smart and so many people cared and still care for them. I own all of their albums & have been a fan since debut, so to see them being treated this way and the company literally doing NOTHING is so upsetting.. Thank you for doing this video to shed light on the situation ❤️
Absolutely. They tried something that wasn’t that popular back then, announcing their debut like that on twitter and interacting with people. But it paid of, since people tuned in to their debut and supported them. I also have all their albums and I am so happy I do! The company was doing amazing when it comes to promoting, as well as they could with what they did but it just went all downhill so fast
No one does it like PURPLEBECK anymore... specially the limited quantity albums, with random RANDOM cards and a few albums actually being signed Like cmon that was SOOO cool, even better than the random Instax included in 1st press albums some groups do. I need someone to steal that idea from PURPLEBECK, because by this point i dont think PB will ever release a physical album. But like PinkFantasy... I feel it...
I have been a fan of purplebeck since pre-debut. I own all their albums, i bought a ticket to their online concert, I attended as many fan meetings as i could. I've ran a pictures account for them since 2020. I literally named the starry night album. I KNOW purplebeck. i was in multiple group chats with the CEO, including the Kakao chat where he told us Layeon had left the group (he told us not to leak any information and assured us there would be an announcement). I've always been critical of majesty, since their debut I've called out the unprofessionalism which you barely tipped the SURFACE on in this video. this video does a good job. some things I'd like to add: Mini has almost definitely left the group now too, the only reason they haven't said anything is because they're an awful company and because she was featured on Can't Believe. There is no comeback any time soon, they either add new members or disband. There are numerous pieces of content that the CEO promised fans that he never followed up on. Thank you for making this video. If anyone had any questions I'm sure I could answer.
please reply we as Turkish beckys are wondering what happened in the kako chat? what did the ceo say layeon why is he gone we can't reach the girls from anywhere please tell me everything i really need this I'm crying
@@shawolblinkbecky1881 I know it’s been a long time since this comment, sorry. But the CEO just said she violated terms of her contract. He wasn’t clear with us about a lot of things
Also wanted to say they had way more views on their songs but when they changed distributors their mvs were deleted and reuploaded that’s why the dates are a year ago
Exactly, Dream Line and Crystal Ball could've hit 1M views! Instead, everything was f*cked up with the distributor change... Danal Entertainment gives little exposure to artists (especially nugu), to be honest.
Oh yeah, I remember when Crystal Ball was almost at 1 million but then I saw all of my Instagram followers who stanned Purplebeck being upset and mad since the mv was deleted and reuploaded
I remember I was actually in Korea when they debuted and got to see them perform their debut stage. I had rlly high hopes for this groups especially with their first comeback being so good. So sad their company is wasting their talent 😭
they actually had roughly over one million views for their debut but they changed channels and their views restarted of that makes sense, i rmb how obsessed i was w the song, their first comeback also had about 400k but i forgot
I'm surprised you're making this video! I feel like no one has ever mentioned Purple Beck ever. It's like everyone forgot about them. The only girl groups that did well from the 2019 debuts were Itsy and Everglow. BVNDIT, 3YE, Rocket Punch, Cherry Bullet had much more potential but their companies put them in the basement. Except for 3YE, I think their company really tried.
i'm genuinely sad about what's happened with purplebeck. i've been with them since predebut because of twitter like a lot of us here. at this point i'm not sure if i'd rather them disband or have a comeback. if majesty is gonna continue to treat them terribly. these girls are so talented and deserved so much better.
WOW!? So that's where my money went!? I knew I was scammed but seeing others scammed like me gets me so INFURIATED! Another great video Sun these girls deserve way more hype but their company is just not it 😒
@@SweetforS Im not exactly sure as the video says, the CEO never responded I have sent out MULTIPLE messsges trying to get a refund or atleast a message as to where my money had gone but I never got any response from the company
I remember Purple Beck from their pre-debut Twitter days. I enjoyed their debut song and follow-up song but didn't really know all of this was going on. I'm pretty sure the group sadly no longer exists and the company/CEO is just trying to scam fans for whatever money they/he can get😔
I never followed PurpleBeck too closely even though I love their debut song, it's really shocking to find out that things like this happen to such talented girls just because their company doesn't know how to be decent to them :(
Oh my I didn't know this was happening D= purplebecl dream line is at the top of my apple music library with over 900 listens! They have so much talent and they are all so pretty. The company should be ashamed for wasting their time. Super underrated and I wish they were at a better company 😭😭
I remember hearing from PurpleBeck during their Dream Line comeback because of Jaejoong appearing, as I've been his fan for years. We were kind of confused as to how a group from a small company could afford his appearance but turns out he did it as a favor because someone from the company was his friend.
I've been fan of Purplebeck since debut, even got their albuns when i went to Korea in 2019... had no idea that Layeon left or how the group was not posting anymore. I remember mid 2021 when we had a new wave of covid in my country i used to interact a lot with their instagram account because they used to post so much! :(
Purplebeck debuted just as I was discovering kpop. They are so talented with such a unique sound that I instantly fell in love with them. Thank you so much for this video! I don't know if reinforcing to the company how much fan support these fantastic ladies have will impel them to support & promote Purplebeck. I've always thought Purplebeck could make a dent in the US charts. I don't know how tightly bound artists are to these companies through these contracts. It's just wrong if a company can tie up talent & then not let that talent perform.
The only thing that I knew about Purple Beck was that the song “Crystal Ball” exists (which is a bop by the way!). Otherwise, I wasn’t aware of any of this 🙁
also even though there's probably favoritism too, I think Yeowool's youtube channel and her latest solo covers could probably happen because of her determination since I know (/it seems to me) she's very hard working and enterprising (idk if that's the right word??)
Thank you for making this video, or just smaller groups in general since many people don’t talk much about them. But yes I’m just disappointed in the company. Purplebeck is and has been my favorite nugu groups, and they had such big potential, with the awards and recognition they got at debut for being a smaller company. The company should just release a statement, it’s not that hard. I don’t get why they would not say anything, it would make things easier to understand and cause less conflict. Well at least recently the only group interaction we got was the members got together to celebrate seyeon’s birthday. Unfortunately mini was not there :(
oh my, i remember so many people thinking purplebeck was a fake group in the beginning since they were following and interacting with everyone... good times
i remember the excitement during pre-debut times when they would answer my tweets. i remember getting signed albums and photocards, however later on as it seemed as even their own company dropped them, sadly my interest in purplebeck also would drop. i still have one album and probably a photocard from them that i could sell, but you can hardly ever find any fan of them by now. something i also remember is the one member who left even before they debuted, it already was so sad to me. I wished them all the best, that's really upsetting to see how their company did nothing for them.
I would just like to add some things: - Yeowool isn't posting on Purplebeck's account anymore either except for her vlog uploads - Layeon is removed from the fancafe - Mini hasn't been active anywhere on sns, fancafe, pb group pictures nor Yeowool's vlogs since her last post in December (not counting the reel/tiktok as all 4 did it before Can't Believe & it could be old) - Yeowool told me on fancafe in the beginning of 2022 she thought they could make a cb this year but since then it seems she doesn't know anymore? UPDATE (nov.) : - Jimin (Layeon) has a youtube channel where she posts vlogs and covers "JIMMNNII RECORD" - Seyeon too : 세니세계 - Yeowool said Mini is on hiatus and the group too
I thought the collab release would help the group to get back in track, but instead things are getting worse... Why can't Majesty Entertainment do their job seriously for once?
Honestly I just wish they werent contractually stuck in this company. Btw im Ellen aka the fan who met them irl and spent the day with them in march 2021 iykyk, they're such nice and talented girls and have so much potential and as someone who's been a fan since predebut its very sad to see where things have been going... absolutely nowhere. Even when they were active, there were so many problems. The company doesnt know how to promote them at all and seems so unprofessional overall. The fact that the company can't even be honest about the situation also feels like a slap in the face to the fans, especially when i know some fans in particular have helped ceo so much with decisions, translations and overall advice related to Purplebeck. Its really disheartening to see. I just hope my girls are happy 😔 I didnt even talk about a possible comeback when I met them cause I was too scared that was gonna make them sad or that it would force them into a lie 😭
you are very lucky! the issue with this as well is yes, they are from a smaller company so funds are not the biggest. however if they would have kept up a good media presence and such they could easily ask for help via for example makestar. But fans leave then the group is basically not there anymore. these girls are very talented and it just a shame to see it go down this way
@@jihoonscarat exactly! especially when their social media presence and the way they connected with fans is what brought people in in the first place. i feel like there was no strategy for purplebeck post dream line era. at some point you need to give the fans SOMETHING to be excited about, lives, covers, honestly anything otherwise a lot of them are going to drift away and fairly so. such a waste of potential!
I feel like the company was dishonest when revealing "confidentially" why Layeon supposedly left. I think THEY might have not respected the contract by mistreating her and her now ex fellow members.
I honestly feel like there is something missing. On my twitter i shared a message the ceo sent the same day as he addressed layeon in the kakeo chat where he legit admitted to lying to fans. I think he is trying to push the blame on Layeon
Definitely my thoughts too. Even if she did break some contract rules, we have no idea what the contract even looks like and we all know some of these contracts can be strict as hell. I wouldn't blame her tbh 😬
Insightful fascinating Informative video on the girl group Purple beck they had the Potential to be successful in their career unfortunately their company didn't properly promote Albums Music and Comebacks. Purple beck are talented Singers dancers Vocalists and Preformers
Thank you so much for making this video about Purplebeck. It's been a very emotional rollercoaster ever since I got to know the girls. I'm very annoyed and angry at Majesty CEO for being a sh!t one. I hope they get out of the mess and find something else to do in their lives. I knew about all of this already because of the exposing Majesty account. So nothing in the video is new to me 😅 But yeah, thank you!
I am sorry that the video had info you already knew, sadly there isn't a whole lot about them besides their horrible company but I thank you for watching and for supporting the girls
I knew I haven't heard anything of purple beck, because I haven't seen nothing of the girls, I was dying for a comeback!! I loved them so much & their songs! it's so sad when companies create groups just to disband them in 2 o 3 months, and they just put really sh*tty excuse, just hiding everything behind the scenes, what a horrible a company, having amazing and talented artists, just to mistreat them & forget about them... :'(
Am I the only one who added this to my watch later wondering what was wrong with Purple Kiss only to realize they can't read, or is that just me? Also, I'm glad I scrolled down to comment, because somehow I wasn't subscribed to this channel?! I've watched so many videos by Jihoons Carat!
Always loved purple neck and especially their beside holiday! Thank you for covering them. They kinda slipped my mind and I hate that cause I used to always check for any updates on them
With the collab of that dude and Purplebeck if you look in the description it doesn't say Layeon's name anywhere same with the hashtags there's only four members, it's so sad they didn't even say anything about her leaving
another great video! you are spoiling us lol, i did not know about purple beck and the whole majesty entertainment situation, so thank you for spreading awareness about those poor girls; i hope the company pulls their shit together and starts managing them for real. It is just so upsetting to me that there are so money hungry people out there :( On another note, i did not know you had a twitter, i had to follow ASAP ❤
A bit late to the party but figured I would say something- it’s really disappointing to see a lack of transparency with the company. It would be one thing if the company flat out announced Layeon’s departure, but it’s a whole other ball game to beat around the bush. It’s heartbreaking to see posts and tweets on purplebeck’s social medias running thinner as time progresses, and I believe their activities on fan cafe sites have stalled as well. These days, it appears as if the company isn’t doing much to help purplebeck as a group. I hope there can be more music for purplebeck in the future
I was wondering if you were ever going to do a video on these girls - which means I'm aware that something was up with the group for a bit. I was there when they were following people on Twitter and even interacted with a few of the members on their threads. I have their signed albums and even collected a lot of their pcs. I miss this group so much. I was more aware something was going on during the OnStar promo. I was one of the $70 fans so I was lucky enough to get a video and the groupchat. I didn't think much of it, just went along while I was chatting with my member on the weekends (barely awake because it was so early for me due to time zones). I was in Yeowool's chat and it was nice getting to know her and even the other chat goers. She was studying and even graduated during that time, visited her family often, talked to us about horror movies and food, and even asked for songs to cover (which she did do one of the songs). Then around 3 months, we started talking Friday, saying we'll talk with her the next day. Saturday comes and we get the notification that the chat was finished. Sunday we got to say our goodbyes and that was it. They promised to send the pcs - they never came. From that point, I became more aware of how the company wasn't responding much to fans and how we continue to see less of Layeon. I wished in my heart it wasn't true, but the receipts don't lie. I really want a new comeback but all I really want is the best for the girls. You did a wonderful job on the video!
As of 2022, Majesty Entertainment, other than PurpleBeck, also has a trainee called Choi (?) Byunghoon and a soloist named Shin Yeji. The latter debuted last year but her debut song only has an audio video, not an MV, and there's little to no info on her beside her NAME. Speaking of Byunghoon, NOTHING is currently known about the company's plans for him. He's wasting his trainee years in that sh*tty company as much as PurpleBeck's and Shin Yeji's careers are being wasted... I feel bad for all of them
Thanks for the information. Like I mentioned earlier I was just recently wondering what was going on with them. Unfortunately the news doesn’t look good.
How old are the members anyway? I noticed that in the footage you used they were often wearing pretty revealing and short clothing. I just hope that's something they are fine with considering all the icky stuff that has happened in the industry... Great video btw I was aware of the groups existence before but didn't know a lot. So sad to see that many small groups seem to have internal problems with management etc. I'd hate for so many talented groups to fall apart just because the people in control can't do their job
Oh that's good to hear😅💕 At this point I'm just so used to seeing actual children debuting that I'm always kinda concerned... says a lot about the industry I guess :/
Watching this made me sad for them. As of 6 months ago of me posting this (currently being April 2024), one of the members said they couldn't reach their CEO and that seems to be the most recent thing I can find about them. Doesn't look promising but I wish all the ladies a bright future, if they wont promote them as a group or even individually, they could at least let them go and try find success elsewhere, it's been 5 years now.
😩😓 nothing can go right can it 😞 there always has to be problems... About Yeowool being the only one with a RUclips channel, did you see that Seyeon made a RUclips channel super recently??
purplebeck has deserved so much more :(( they are so skilled and have a lot of potential !! though i will say that veeper doesn't cost money as far as i know, since i have the app :)
That feeling when you discover a group, you like it and search it only to realize that they disbanded, are in hiatus or there's no any knowledge of their future. So sad.
Hi, I’ve been watching your videos for almost a year now and i love them so much. They’re so eye opening and I learn a lot. I was wondering if you could do a video about the girl group “BESTie”? There’s not much and I think they had so much potential…tysm
1:27 I would freak if the social media of my faves followed me! Even if it's just the company lol! Also omg are they performing hyolyn see sea here also?!?
@@peachxtaehyung well I hope u do soon. I guess u should go right now and comment on Hi Cutie’s Circus mv because everyone that comments on any of their content gets one ❤️
@@jihoonscarat I agree it isn't a bad company, but I feel like the CEO has gone beyond her possibilities and needs some external backup to survive... Let's not forget that MyDoll doesn't have to handle only PinkFantasy, but also Heo Youngsaeng who joined last year, which means having to set up a different budget...
To be honest, I don't really think that the company is/was as bad as the fans and this video made it out to be. The complaints were about really small and not so important things. All in all, the company seemed pretty transparent. There is no need for fans to know every little detail about a group and it's members.
I saw it and I think I even hearted it.. but it’s gone? Maybe it is in my request for some reasons ? I’ll try to figure it out! You are totally welcome to comment about it 🤗
@@civcivderler şirket dağıldıkları gibi bir açıklama yapmadı ama aktif değiller şirketin başka bir şirkete bağlanıp gruba yeni üye alacağı gibi bir şey duymuştum ama bu hala bir söylentiden ibaret umarım yakında geri dönerler.
So basically last year the group stopped being active on their social media, one of the members Layeon disappeared and was announced to be on hiatus. And now the group isn’t even doing anything as a group and it is strong believed Layeon left the group but the CEO refuses to tell the truth
@@nugudom_ng right, idk it seems too sketchy to me. Like the ceo literally replied on a comment from a fan about layeon's absence and that was sort of the response
I was actually part of the 2019 PurpleBeck Doesn’t Exist Conspiracy! They followed my (now defunct) account and my mutuals and we would interact with them via replies and they were in our groupchat. It was called OrbitLand Gays (lol) and it seemed interesting that a legitimate business would let them be in there. We started worrying that PurpleBeck was a scam because the company was being extremely shady since the beginning: their posts were low quality, they seemed to copy the way other kpop idols would post, and they made the members use heavy snow app filters which at the time made us think they were actually committing identity theft and just using pictures from random girls. A mutual mentioned that their “official” pre debut content seemed like it could have been shot on a personal Samsung phone and they were not even verified. We looked up the company headquarters which seemed non existent (but we now know was masked by another business). I (18 at that time) was worried that they were going to scam my younger mutuals and other fans with fake preorder links for an album that didn’t exist/fake merch especially since they were interacting with minors. It’s interesting to see that they did actually scam people for goods that were never delivered and that it happened years later, even with them being a real group.
I am not sure if Majesty even manages the official fan club in Japan. My subscription ended without even a reminder to renew it. I only realized it one month after it expired and had to apply for a new one. I also was confused by these paid SNS/board services they were putting their members on where you had to buy credits to interact with them. I was happy to apply for the first service just to express my support to the members, but after a while, when they announced the opening of a second paid service, I kind of gave up.
EDITING ERROR: There is a slight error in the editing at 8:45, where is says Mini but it is supposed to say Layeon! So sorry about that
Anyways yeah I wish companies like Majesty would just do their job and announce their disbandment and/or at least give out statements, whether it be about the group, fans, or any other things. I feel terrible for the former PD101 trainee and PurpleBeck and Especially poor old Kite. They were supposed to debut a long time ago but it never happened.

- Jimin (Layeon) has a youtube channel where she posts vlogs and covers "JIMMNNII RECORD"
- Seyeon too : 세니세계
- Yeowool said Mini is on hiatus and the group too
I thought the collab release would help the group to get back in track, but instead things are getting worse... Why can't Majesty Entertainment do their job seriously for once?
Yeowool posts kinda regularly on her RUclips account
@@oliveb. never said the contrary though ?
@@jl8320 ???
What's Yeowool's youtube channel?
Dream line is truly a masterpiece
Honestly I just wish they werent contractually stuck in this company. Btw im Ellen aka the fan who met them irl and spent the day with them in march 2021 iykyk, they're such nice and talented girls and have so much potential and as someone who's been a fan since predebut its very sad to see where things have been going... absolutely nowhere. Even when they were active, there were so many problems. The company doesnt know how to promote them at all and seems so unprofessional overall. The fact that the company can't even be honest about the situation also feels like a slap in the face to the fans, especially when i know some fans in particular have helped ceo so much with decisions, translations and overall advice related to Purplebeck. Its really disheartening to see. I just hope my girls are happy 😔 I didnt even talk about a possible comeback when I met them cause I was too scared that was gonna make them sad or that it would force them into a lie 😭
you are very lucky! the issue with this as well is yes, they are from a smaller company so funds are not the biggest. however if they would have kept up a good media presence and such they could easily ask for help via for example makestar. But fans leave then the group is basically not there anymore. these girls are very talented and it just a shame to see it go down this way
@@jihoonscarat exactly! especially when their social media presence and the way they connected with fans is what brought people in in the first place. i feel like there was no strategy for purplebeck post dream line era. at some point you need to give the fans SOMETHING to be excited about, lives, covers, honestly anything otherwise a lot of them are going to drift away and fairly so. such a waste of potential!
I feel like the company was dishonest when revealing "confidentially" why Layeon supposedly left. I think THEY might have not respected the contract by mistreating her and her now ex fellow members.
I honestly feel like there is something missing. On my twitter i shared a message the ceo sent the same day as he addressed layeon in the kakeo chat where he legit admitted to lying to fans. I think he is trying to push the blame on Layeon
Definitely my thoughts too. Even if she did break some contract rules, we have no idea what the contract even looks like and we all know some of these contracts can be strict as hell. I wouldn't blame her tbh 😬
I've been following them since their pre-debut era and i really miss them T_T
MAJESTY ENT WE NEED A CB!!
Insightful fascinating Informative video on the girl group Purple beck they had the Potential to be successful in their career unfortunately their company didn't properly promote Albums Music and Comebacks. Purple beck are talented Singers dancers Vocalists and Preformers
Thank you so much for making this video about Purplebeck. It's been a very emotional rollercoaster ever since I got to know the girls. I'm very annoyed and angry at Majesty CEO for being a sh!t one. I hope they get out of the mess and find something else to do in their lives.
I knew about all of this already because of the exposing Majesty account. So nothing in the video is new to me 😅 But yeah, thank you!
I am sorry that the video had info you already knew, sadly there isn't a whole lot about them besides their horrible company but I thank you for watching and for supporting the girls

I knew I haven't heard anything of purple beck, because I haven't seen nothing of the girls, I was dying for a comeback!! I loved them so much & their songs! it's so sad when companies create groups just to disband them in 2 o 3 months, and they just put really sh*tty excuse, just hiding everything behind the scenes, what a horrible a company, having amazing and talented artists, just to mistreat them & forget about them... :'(
Am I the only one who added this to my watch later wondering what was wrong with Purple Kiss only to realize they can't read, or is that just me? Also, I'm glad I scrolled down to comment, because somehow I wasn't subscribed to this channel?! I've watched so many videos by Jihoons Carat!
Always loved purple neck and especially their beside holiday! Thank you for covering them. They kinda slipped my mind and I hate that cause I used to always check for any updates on them
With the collab of that dude and Purplebeck if you look in the description it doesn't say Layeon's name anywhere same with the hashtags there's only four members, it's so sad they didn't even say anything about her leaving
i hope purplebeck moves to a new company... i dont want then 2 disband😭
another great video! you are spoiling us lol, i did not know about purple beck and the whole majesty entertainment situation, so thank you for spreading awareness about those poor girls; i hope the company pulls their shit together and starts managing them for real. It is just so upsetting to me that there are so money hungry people out there :( On another note, i did not know you had a twitter, i had to follow ASAP ❤
A bit late to the party but figured I would say something- it’s really disappointing to see a lack of transparency with the company. It would be one thing if the company flat out announced Layeon’s departure, but it’s a whole other ball game to beat around the bush. It’s heartbreaking to see posts and tweets on purplebeck’s social medias running thinner as time progresses, and I believe their activities on fan cafe sites have stalled as well. These days, it appears as if the company isn’t doing much to help purplebeck as a group. I hope there can be more music for purplebeck in the future
I was wondering if you were ever going to do a video on these girls - which means I'm aware that something was up with the group for a bit. I was there when they were following people on Twitter and even interacted with a few of the members on their threads. I have their signed albums and even collected a lot of their pcs. I miss this group so much.
I was more aware something was going on during the OnStar promo. I was one of the $70 fans so I was lucky enough to get a video and the groupchat. I didn't think much of it, just went along while I was chatting with my member on the weekends (barely awake because it was so early for me due to time zones). I was in Yeowool's chat and it was nice getting to know her and even the other chat goers. She was studying and even graduated during that time, visited her family often, talked to us about horror movies and food, and even asked for songs to cover (which she did do one of the songs). Then around 3 months, we started talking Friday, saying we'll talk with her the next day. Saturday comes and we get the notification that the chat was finished. Sunday we got to say our goodbyes and that was it. They promised to send the pcs - they never came. From that point, I became more aware of how the company wasn't responding much to fans and how we continue to see less of Layeon. I wished in my heart it wasn't true, but the receipts don't lie. I really want a new comeback but all I really want is the best for the girls. You did a wonderful job on the video!
As of 2022, Majesty Entertainment, other than PurpleBeck, also has a trainee called Choi (?) Byunghoon and a soloist named Shin Yeji. The latter debuted last year but her debut song only has an audio video, not an MV, and there's little to no info on her beside her NAME. Speaking of Byunghoon, NOTHING is currently known about the company's plans for him. He's wasting his trainee years in that sh*tty company as much as PurpleBeck's and Shin Yeji's careers are being wasted... I feel bad for all of them
I'm thinking Byunghoon might have already left actually
@@jl8320 Really? I'm sad... He clearly wasted his time at that stupid company
UPDATE: thank God Byunghoon left this sh*t a*s company. He's now a member of the group CMDM, which debuted in April 2023
Thanks for the information. Like I mentioned earlier I was just recently wondering what was going on with them. Unfortunately the news doesn’t look good.
I was so excited when you said you had something to post so I made dinner and sat down to watch! Great video ❤️
Thank you so much! I hope you enjoyed your dinner ❤️
Tbh I only know of Purplebeck from that POV music video they dropped in 2020, but I didn't know they were an actual group with like promotions etc
They were my favorite group of 2019.
OMG!!! I loved Purple Beck so much and I’ve been wondering what had happened to them. I really hope that girls are okay and get better management.
How old are the members anyway? I noticed that in the footage you used they were often wearing pretty revealing and short clothing. I just hope that's something they are fine with considering all the icky stuff that has happened in the industry...
Great video btw I was aware of the groups existence before but didn't know a lot. So sad to see that many small groups seem to have internal problems with management etc. I'd hate for so many talented groups to fall apart just because the people in control can't do their job
Yerim: 25 (b. 1997)
Yeowool: 24 (b. 1998)
Mini: 21 (b. 2000)
Seyeon: 20 (b. 2001)
Layeon (ex member): 22 (b. 1999)
I might have got them wrong, though
The members are all born between 1997 and 2001.
And thank you very much I appreciate that ❤️
Oh that's good to hear😅💕
At this point I'm just so used to seeing actual children debuting that I'm always kinda concerned... says a lot about the industry I guess :/
@@sophiaaretuza well Purple Beck debuted in 2018 a time that “wasn’t too common for everyone” and didn’t get enough complains compared to now
I absolutely know what you’re talking about!
Watching this made me sad for them. As of 6 months ago of me posting this (currently being April 2024), one of the members said they couldn't reach their CEO and that seems to be the most recent thing I can find about them.
Doesn't look promising but I wish all the ladies a bright future, if they wont promote them as a group or even individually, they could at least let them go and try find success elsewhere, it's been 5 years now.
Finally 🥳🥳🥳❤️❤️❤️ I only got to know their existence as a group through Pinterest lol so I’m interested on their history 😀👀❤️👍
😩😓 nothing can go right can it 😞 there always has to be problems...
About Yeowool being the only one with a RUclips channel, did you see that Seyeon made a RUclips channel super recently??
purplebeck has deserved so much more :(( they are so skilled and have a lot of potential !! though i will say that veeper doesn't cost money as far as i know, since i have the app :)
That feeling when you discover a group, you like it and search it only to realize that they disbanded, are in hiatus or there's no any knowledge of their future. So sad.
Hi, I’ve been watching your videos for almost a year now and i love them so much. They’re so eye opening and I learn a lot. I was wondering if you could do a video about the girl group “BESTie”? There’s not much and I think they had so much potential…tysm
Ohh I’ve heard about them. I can definitely add them to my list for potential deep dives 💕
Poor Purplebeck. They really deserve better
Their music is so good and the girls are so talented but the company squandered their potential

@@jihoonscarat yeah u got that right. Mld and Mbk fits in better lol
omg yes 100%
@@jihoonscarat I agree it isn't a bad company, but I feel like the CEO has gone beyond her possibilities and needs some external backup to survive... Let's not forget that MyDoll doesn't have to handle only PinkFantasy, but also Heo Youngsaeng who joined last year, which means having to set up a different budget...
@@nugudom_ng yep I definitely see and get what ur saying here
I assume their second comeback didn’t get any music show promotions due to the Covid outbreak
Most likely yes
Their debut is still in high replay
Favorite is another girl group I’m worried about, and I hope you are too
Oh wow I didn't know you're in Iceland!
Yup 🤗
@@jihoonscarat yeah sometimes I forget lol 😂
when a member left for personal reasons, we all know for what ..
?
@@lontalley5915 i mean because they have anxiety etc
Usoul left during predebut, said to personal reason never mentioned specifically
Layeon left because she violated the contact, as I heard from the ceo
I miss them so much
They probably couldn’t be in the mv due to Covid as well.
Dang they need to announce their disbandment ASAP
they still follow me too
To be honest, I don't really think that the company is/was as bad as the fans and this video made it out to be. The complaints were about really small and not so important things. All in all, the company seemed pretty transparent. There is no need for fans to know every little detail about a group and it's members.
The company seemed good until the dropped of the face of the earth. I had no complaints until they ghosted the members of Purple Beck
admin did you delete my comments about road to max or is it yt? 😭 if it's you sorry if I shouldn't have posted them
I saw it and I think I even hearted it.. but it’s gone? Maybe it is in my request for some reasons ? I’ll try to figure it out! You are totally welcome to comment about it 🤗
@@jihoonscarat thank you !
Idk them so I can watch the mv
Yeah they debuted in 2019 but were one of the most infamous debuts that year compared to Itzy and everglow
Quick question what app do you use to edit your videos??
Right now I use Adobe Premier but I also use iMovie from time to time
@@jihoonscarat okay tysm:))
Why was there a clip from DICE?
I was just showing clips of different mvs and groups for the intro 🤗

I only speak English I’m very sorry
@@jihoonscarat Can you briefly explain to me what happened? I did not understand in the video
So basically last year the group stopped being active on their social media, one of the members Layeon disappeared and was announced to be on hiatus. And now the group isn’t even doing anything as a group and it is strong believed Layeon left the group but the CEO refuses to tell the truth
@@jihoonscarat thank you
My Dog's name is Becky, because she's white
That’s cool and cute
i heard that layeon left, idk if it's true but i hope it's not.
It is, she DID leave
She left. It was said that she broke the contract rules
@@taylorl9424 someone else believes the CEO wasn't being honest about her departure...
@@nugudom_ng right, idk it seems too sketchy to me. Like the ceo literally replied on a comment from a fan about layeon's absence and that was sort of the response
Pls do groups we have at least heard of cuz wtf is this
lmao. I’m sorry but this is my channel, I can choice what topics I cover. There are LOADS of channels that cover more known groups
I was actually part of the 2019 PurpleBeck Doesn’t Exist Conspiracy! They followed my (now defunct) account and my mutuals and we would interact with them via replies and they were in our groupchat. It was called OrbitLand Gays (lol) and it seemed interesting that a legitimate business would let them be in there. We started worrying that PurpleBeck was a scam because the company was being extremely shady since the beginning: their posts were low quality, they seemed to copy the way other kpop idols would post, and they made the members use heavy snow app filters which at the time made us think they were actually committing identity theft and just using pictures from random girls. A mutual mentioned that their “official” pre debut content seemed like it could have been shot on a personal Samsung phone and they were not even verified. We looked up the company headquarters which seemed non existent (but we now know was masked by another business). I (18 at that time) was worried that they were going to scam my younger mutuals and other fans with fake preorder links for an album that didn’t exist/fake merch especially since they were interacting with minors. It’s interesting to see that they did actually scam people for goods that were never delivered and that it happened years later, even with them being a real group.
I am not sure if Majesty even manages the official fan club in Japan. My subscription ended without even a reminder to renew it. I only realized it one month after it expired and had to apply for a new one. I also was confused by these paid SNS/board services they were putting their members on where you had to buy credits to interact with them. I was happy to apply for the first service just to express my support to the members, but after a while, when they announced the opening of a second paid service, I kind of gave up.
