On June 29, former Wonder Girls member Sunmi made her solo comeback with Pporappippam. The song – which title roughly translates to “purple night” – features a romantic, purple-hued music video.
Pporappippam is Sunmi’s first release since Lalalay in August 2019. As with Lalalay, the lyrics to Pporappippam were written by Sunmi herself. The singer also had a hand in the music, which she co-composed with FRANTS.
The singer said that she had a different concept in mind when she was initially planning her comeback. However, after considering the Covid-19 pandemic, she decided that she wanted to produce a song that would “deliver emotional relief and escapism” to fans.
