SEOUL, July 25 (Yonhap) -- Purplish “Seven witches” are coming back with isolated geeks.

Girl group Purkle Kiss introduced themselves as “charming geeks” at the press conference for their fourth mini album “Geekyland.”

“Geekyland,” meaning “world where geeks live,” has a message for isolated individuals to come out of their shell.

Member Ireh said "We plan to show confident side of Purple Kiss as we represent the marginalized individuals."

The album has 6 songs including the title song “Nerdy,” “Intro : Bye Bye Bully,” “FireFlower,” “Can’t stop dreamin’,” “Love is Dea,” and “SuMMer RaiN.”

In the music video of “Nerdy,” Purplekiss’s seven members, dressed as witches, encourage nerds to confidently show off themselves.

PurpleKiss expanded view of the world “Purple Witch,” which they first made it public in their third mini album “memeM” last April, in this album.

Goeun explained their uniqueness saying, “If we showed a lot of performances in ‘memeM,’ we focused more on storytelling and acting this time.”

Purple Kiss said advice from their agency singers also encouraged them to expand their worldview of “Purky Witch.”

Goeun went on, “One time, Moonbyul from Mamamoo said ‘It would be fun to expand the worldview, even for the fans.’”

PurpleKiss said what makes them different from other groups is their unique concept of “Purple Witches,” their live performances, and teamwork.

Jieun showed confidence in live performances saying, “Our biggest strength is always looking for ways to disclose our unique tones when singing live.”

Chaein said, “Our biggest strength is teamwork. I hope people pay special attention to our synergy.”

Purple Kiss, who has not yet won first place on a music show, expressed their desire to win first place trophy with this album.

Dosie said, “Although we have been nominees for the first place, we have not yet won first place,” adding, “I really want to get the trophy this time.”

Chaein said, "We worked the hardest for this album," adding, "We hope that you guys look forward to our fourth mini album 'Geekyland'."
