Sistar (Korean: 씨스타, often stylized as SISTAR) is a South Korean girl group formed in 2010 under the management of Starship Entertainment. The group consists of Hyolyn, Bora, Soyou and Dasom.[1][2][3]

History

2010: Pre-debut, Push Push, Shady Girl, and How Dare You

Sistar began their group activities early in 2010 with commercials and magazine photoshoots.[4]

The group made their official debut with the song "Push Push" on 1 June 2010.[5] On 3 June, Starship released the accompanying music video for Push Push.[6] Sistar had their debut performance on 4 June on Music Bank and continued promotions on various Korean music shows through 26 July.[7]

The group returned with their second single "Shady Girl" on 25 August along with a music video. The video featured Super Junior member Kim Heechul. The single was well received and charted much higher on Korean music charts than their debut single[8][9] The group also received a lot of media attention when a fan-taken video was uploaded online showing the group filming their performance at "Let’s Start Sharing Concert" on 28 August. During the middle of their performance member Bora suddenly fell onstage, prompting the other members to stop singing and assist her off the stage with the help of staff. Several minutes later, Bora returned to stage along with the other members to finish filming their performance. According to Starship Entertainment, she had fractured her thumb and would be treated for the next three weeks. The video went viral on the internet and was featured on G4's online show ‘Attack of the Show!', and an RTL Television Germany's news segment.[10][11] On 14 September Sistar was invited to perform in Japan's "Hallyu Music Festival" as the only Korean girl group present.[12] On 10 October Sistar was in Thailand performing "Push Push" and "Shady Girl" on Thailand's "Teen Superstar" show.[13]

Sistar performing How Dare You

The group eventually released their third single, "How Dare You" in November. The song became a success as it swept Korean music charts and topped music sites like MelOn, Soribada, Bugs, Monkey3, and Daum Music making it Sistar's first number one single.[14] On 9 December the group attended the Golden Disk Awards, and won the "Newcomer Award."[15] On 27 December, Sistar won their first Music Bank award for "How Dare You."[16]

2011: Sistar19 and So Cool

On 27 April it was announced that Sistar would debut a sub-unit, "Sistar19," with members Hyolyn and Bora.[17] Their debut song "Ma Boy"[18][19] released on 3 May.[20] Sistar19 had their debut performance on 5 May and promoted throughout May.[21]

Sistar returned on 21 July with an album entitled So Cool.[22] The title song of the same name immediately topped Korean music charts upon its release.[23] "So Cool" was the inaugural number one song on the Billboard Korea K-Pop Hot 100 chart after the chart's launch on 25 August.[24] On 11 September Sistar won their first "Mutizen Award" at Inkigayo.[25]

2012: Alone and Loving U

In early April it was announced that Sistar was going to broadcast their comeback "So Cool" showcase globally in 41 countries.[26] They made their comeback on 12 April with a mini album entitled "Alone," containing six songs produced by Brave Brothers.[27]

On 11 June Starship announced that Sistar would be making a summer comeback with a dance track. Sistar would be re-entering the market while their hit song "Alone" was still on live charts.[28] Their comeback was a mini-album entitled Loving U. The mini-album contained the title track, "Loving U", produced by Duble Sidekick, one new song "Holiday" and remixes of the groups' past hits ("Alone", "Ma Boy", "So Cool", "How Dare You" and "Push Push").[29] Sistar released the music video of "Loving U" on 28 June.[30] Shortly after its release, "Loving U" achieved an "all-kill" by topping all major online music charts in South Korea.[31]

2013: Give It to Me

Sistar19 released their first single album and the music video for the title track "Gone Not Around Any Longer" on 31 January. Upon its release, the song topped on the real-time music charts.[32] It went on to hit Melon's roof and achieved a certified perfect all-kill from Instiz for two consecutive weeks.

Sistar's second full album, Give It To Me was released on 11 June with a title track of the same name.[33][34]

Sistar represented South Korea in the ABU TV Song Festival on 26 October at ABU TV Song Festival 2013 in Hanoi, Vietnam performing the title track from their latest album "Give It to Me".[35]

2014: Touch & Move and Sweet & Sour

Hyolyn and Soyou topped music charts with duets and collaboration projects while Bora and Dasom have acted, respectively, in the SBS drama "Dr. Stranger" and the KBS drama "Love Rides the Song."

On 21 July 2014, Sistar officially released their third mini album, Touch & Move along with its title track "Touch My Body" and its accompanying music video.[36] The group teamed up with composers Rado and Choi Kyu Sung for their new song.[37] After the release, the song topped on the nine major Korean music charts which included Melon, Mnet, Bugs, Olleh Music, Soribada, Genie, Naver, Daum, and Monkey3.[38]

Sistar released another song "I Swear" on 26 August 2014.[39]

Subgroups

Main article: Sistar19

A subgroup, Sistar19, debuted in 2011, with Sistar's main vocalist Hyolyn and rapper Bora.[40] A single, "Ma Boy", was released in May 2011.[41] "Gone Not Around Any Longer" was released in January 2013.[42] The single hit number one on all major Korean music charts.[43] The subgroup’s name is “SISTAR19″ because "the duo’s theme is based on the feelings of a 19 year old girl transitioning into a woman. The duo will perform music that represents the innocence and anxiety of a 19 year old as their songs have a central theme of love."[44]
