March 2024 saw the collaboration of a lifetime with SF9‘s leader, YoungBin, and virtual girl group ifLANDIE‘s leader GaOn. Together, the two released an amazing collaboration single titled, ‘Purple Sunrise’. The track was electrifying, making your entire body groove from side to side, following its addictive melody. Luckily for fans, following its release the two held a special showcase fan meet-up on SK Telecom’s social metaverse platform, “ifland“.
Most recently, ifland has been growing in popularity, becoming a brand new location for K-Pop artists to explore and hold various events in a virtual/hologram setting. Singers like Triple iz (project girl group consisting of SECRET NUMBER’s Dita, ICHILLIN”s E.Ji and X:IN’s Aria), TEEN TOP’s Niel, YeNa, TEMPEST, BAE173, KINGDOM, E’LAST, and CLASS:y have created “ifhomes” on ifland, where they’re able to directly communicate with fans, release exclusive content, and so much more! Other K-Pop artists are expected to join in the near future!
ifland is free to download on both iPhone and Android.
Now, following YoungBin and GaOn’s release and special showcase, fans were ecstatic to add ‘Purple Sunrise’ to their playlists and listen to the track all day long. And of course, a new K-Pop songs means many things: promotional content, fan meetings, and a new dance to learn!
Both FANTASY and ifning have joined in on the fun, uploading their own edits to the incredible track. So here are some fans with the best ‘Purple Sunrise’ challenge video down below!

Now, some things are just better with friends. @jaderabbit357 (Jade Rabbit in ifland) is joined by Ember and Kit Kat for the ‘Purple Sunrise’ challenge and we must say, these three kill it! With their outfits, it gives practice room vibes with a touch of impeccable style.

Fans can cover either GaOn’s or YoungBin’s part, however, @keiilangito goes above and beyond. They do both parts with a city street background, giving an aura of random play dance in the middle of Times Square or Seoul city.

@milkis531 (mimil’s on ifland) reiterates the fact that challenges can be a group activity. Joined by hasna and Elle, everything from the outfits to the cinematic intro make their addition to the challenge an eye-catching hit.
