Sistar (Korean: 씨스타, stylized as SISTAR) is a South Korean girl group formed in 2010 under the management of Starship Entertainment. The members are Hyolyn (often written Hyorin), Bora, Soyou and Dasom.[1][2][3] On June 3, 2010, they released their debut single "Push Push" and the same day debuted on stage performing "Push Push" and "Here We Come."

History

Pre-debut

Hyolyn had auditioned twice for JYP Entertainment beforehand and was accepted on the second try. She was initially scheduled to debut in a quintet group along with Secret's Jieun, miss A's Min and EXID's Yuzi. However, Hyolyn was dropped from JYP Entertainment and later auditioned with Starship Entertainment and was accepted.

Soyou originally intended to debut as a 4minute member but was replaced by Sohyun and Soyou's debut was pushed back by the agency because, as she described, "I was lacking in many ways."[4] Instead, Soyou auditioned for Starship, singing a cover of Navi's "On The Road",[5] and debuted as a member of SISTAR.

Bora's first television appearance before her debut was KBS Golden Ladder as Myongji University's Campus Queen (Queenka). She was a lively character and MC Boom commented "She was more energetic and spirited than all the other girls from the different schools." On the day of the broadcast, Bora's father passed away from stomach cancer. Although it was an unfortunate day for her, Bora stated "I’m very grateful to the program, as it served as a gateway for me to eventually become a celebrity, but it’s bitter-sweet, there’s something about that program that still makes me sad."[6][7]

Sistar began their group activities early on in 2010, before the release of their songs. Their official public debut, on March 19, 2010, they were featured in Céci magazine performing a photo shoot in England for the clothing company FUBU. They also endorsed Samsung's 'Yepp' phones and each of the members filmed an individual commercial for it.[8]

2010: Debut, "Push Push", "Shady Girl", and "How Dare You"

The group made their official debut with the song "Push Push" on June 2010. The Music Video teaser for their debut song was released on June 1, 2010.[9] Two days later, on June 3, 2010, Starship released the full music video for Push Push.[10] Sistar had their debut performance the next day at Music Bank (June 4).[11] The song received moderate success and appeared on various charts [vague]. The group wrapped up promotions for their Push Push on July 26.

The group eventually returned with 2nd single "Shady Girl" on August 25, 2010. The teaser was released on August 24, 2010 and the full music video was released a day later. The video also features Super Junior's member Kim Heechul. The single was well received and charted much higher on various charts than debut single[12][13] The group also received a lot of media attention when a fan-cam video was uploaded online showing the group filming their performance at the "Let’s Start Sharing Concert" on August 28. During the middle of their performance, member Bora suddenly slipped on stage and fell prompting the other members to stop singing and assist her off stage with the stage-production staff. Several minutes later, Bora returned to stage along with the other members to finish filming their performance. According to Starship Entertainment, the group's management company, she had fractured her thumb and will be treated for the next three weeks. The video went viral in the internet and was featured on G4's online show ‘Attack of the Show', and RTL Television Germany's news segment.[14][15] At this time[ambiguous] Sistar was beginning to do international advances, performing in other Asian countries. On 14 September, Sistar was invited to perform in Japan's "Hallyu Music Festival" as the only Korean girl group present. On 10 October, Sistar was in Thailand, performing their hit songs "Push Push" and "Shady Girl" on Thailand's "Teen Superstar" show.[citation needed]

The group eventually released their third single, "How Dare You", in November. The music video teaser was released on 23 November. The full music video was originally planned to be released the following day. However, the border skirmish between North and South Korea at Yeonpyeong Island caused the music video to be pushed back almost a week. The full music video was finally released on 2 December. "How Dare You" became a success as it swept the music charts and topped No. 1 various music sites such as MelOn, Mnet, Soribada, Bugs, Monkey3, and Daum Music making it their first No. 1 single. On December 9, 2010, the group attended the Golden Disk Awards, being awarded with the Newcomer Award. On December 17, 2010, Sistar won their first Music Bank award for the single.[16]

Sistar wrapped up their final rounds of "How Dare You" promotions in mid-January. On 27 April, it was announced that Sistar will be debuting a sub-unit, Sistar19 with members Hyolyn and Bora.[17] The teaser for their debut song "Ma Boy" was released on 29 April 2011,[18] and the full music video on 2 May 2011.[19] They released their digital single, titled "Ma Boy", on 3 May.[20] Sistar19 had their debut performance on M! Countdown on 5 May 2011.[citation needed]

On 31 July, it was reported that Sistar would be returning with their first official album on 9 August, titled "So Cool". In addition to the news, it was also reported that member Soyou lost 8 kg (roughly 17.6 lbs.) in preparation for their comeback. Starship Entertainment stated that "fans can look forward to a more charismatic side of Sistar".[21][22] Upon the launch of Billboard K-POP Top 100 on 25 August 2011, SISTAR clinched first position for their title track, "So Cool", topping other various popular groups.[23] On 11 September, they won their first mutizen award at Inkigayo beating out other 'Take 7' nominees.[24]

In early April, it was announced that Sistar was going to broadcast their comeback showcase globally in 41 countries. They made their comeback on April 12 with a mini album containing six songs, titled Alone. The title track, "Alone", is described to have a strong sound, as Brave Brothers, who has produced each of their songs since their debut, has reported to "try out a new style and sound specifically for the group".[citation needed]
