Purfles

"I want to be a team that is always consistent like a pine tree, not a team like cherry blossoms that bloom then fade." - Wooyoung

Purfles were a three member girl group under Crescendo Music that debuted in late 2014. Their name was derived from the English word "purfle" which means 'to decorate (something) with an ornamental border' - meaning Purfles would become singers who would decorate the music industry. There was never an official disbandment announcement, but the company website was shut down late 2016, so it is assumed they disbanded around the same time.

Members:

Park Geon Hee

Born May 18, 1990 in Ulsan, South Korea.

Trained at LOEN Entertainment for 3 years with members of FIESTAR & Melody Day before leaving to join Crescendo Music.

Appeared in the music video for IU's "You & I".

Previous back-up dancer for Heyne (soloist under Crescendo Music)

Studied at Kookmin University under the Department of Theater and Film.

Shin Eun Yong

Born August 20, 1991 in Suwon, South Korea.

Previous back-up dancer for Heyne (soloist under Crescendo Music)

Yang Woo Young

Born June 18, 1993 in South Korea.

Her parents were extremely against her becoming an idol, so she secretly worked part-time jobs to go to practical music academy for lessons prior to joining Crescendo Music.

Previous back-up dancer for Heyne (soloist under Crescendo Music)

"There's a saying that rice is better than gold. Gold is valuable and splendid to anyone, but rice is always necessary and you can't be without it. We also want to become a group that is more like rice than gold." - Geonhee

Thank you for 1,000 days, Purfles.

I’ll support you three beautiful angels until the end of time, no matter what.

I love you. I miss you.

Please take care of your health and I wish you the best in happiness, wealth and health!

To the light of my life, Park Geonhee:

No mater how infrequent your updates have become, no matter how much time has passed, my love for you will never fade. You are the light of my life. Seeing your face, hearing your voice, seeing old videos, old images, old performances or getting notifications that you’ve updated makes me the happiest I’ve ever been. Even if you’re no longer performing, no longer on stage, my support, my love, my affection for you will never cease. Even if I can no longer reach you, I’ll always keep you in my heart and wish nothing but the best for you in happiness, in health, in wealth. I’ll support and love you, always.

I still remember the six months I spent tweeting to you every day, wishing you happiness and telling you I love you. The day you followed me, even if for a little bit, I was the happiest I’ve been in a long time then. Even now, thinking about it makes me giddy. To this day, no matter how infrequent my messages to you have been, it still makes me happy that you read them and like them, and even reply to me if your schedule allows it. I wish there was more that I could do but just knowing that you know I exist makes me unbelievably happy.

I couldn’t ask for a more perfect angel to love and support, to give my time and dedication to. You deserve the universe and I can only hope that my support lifts your spirit when you’re feeling down. I have dozens of unsent letters I’ve written to you and I’ll keep writing to you.

I love you.

Thank you for 1,000 days.

To the beautiful, talented angels, Shin Eunyong and Yang Wooyoung:

The both of you are some of the most talented and beautiful idols I’ve had the pleasure for being a fan of. From the moment I came across Purfles’ 1, 2, 3 I was in love with your voices, and seeing you in the few varieties you’ve been in, and the other shows you’ve appeared in, has filled me with so much joy and love that words cannot truly express how much Purfles means to me.

You’re all so talented and amazing, and I could only wish that you were promoted better than you were, that you were given a chance to truly shine on the stage and perform in front of fans. But no matter what happens, I’ll always support you and recommend you to everyone. To show people just how talented you are and just what you’re capable of.

I can’t wait to see your future projects! I’ll always support the two of you, no matter where your life takes you, no matter what happens. I’ll keep you in my heart, my thoughts, and wish you the best in happiness, health and wealth, always.

Thank you for these past 1,000 days.
