Sistar

Sistar (Korean씨스타; stylized in all caps) was a South Korean girl group formed in 2010 by Starship Entertainment. The group consisted of Bora, Hyolyn, Soyou and Dasom. They made their official debut with the song "Push Push" on 3 June 2010. Their debut studio album So Cool was released on 9 August 2011. Their second album, Give It to Me, was released on 11 June 2013.

Their biggest hits include "So Cool", "Alone", "Touch My Body", "Loving U" and "Give It to Me". Their fourth single, "So Cool," debuted at number one on the Gaon Digital Chart as well as the Billboard K-pop Hot 100 singles chart, starting a streak of nine consecutive number-one hits before the group's disbandment in 2017.

Sistar has amassed prominent digital sales, being one of five artists to have nine or more number one singles in South Korea. They were ranked number nine and number eleven in surveys of the top girl groups in South Korea conducted by The Dong-a Ilbo in 2016 and Gallup Korea in 2024, respectively. Their accolades include nine Golden Disc Awards, five Melon Music Awards, four MAMA Awards, and seven Seoul Music Awards.

In March 2010, Starship Entertainment announced that their new 4-member female group, "Sistar," was scheduled to debut in April. Starship described Sistar as a girl group with both talent and style, creating a new cultural code with unique music, choreography, and fashion. Starship added that they are also a versatile group that can digest a variety of genres, from ballads to hip-hop, and will emerge as a style icon for those in their teens and twenties. Even before their debut, Sistar attracted much attention and topic among music industry experts with their outstanding vocals. Many groups devise a mystical strategy for disclosing the identities of members before their debut, but Sistar were first introduced through a fashion photoshoot in collaboration with casual brand FUBU, where only top stars appeared, which is unusual for a rookie group.

Later that month, Starship announced that the recording process for the debut single album of the group had already been completed. Media outlet Sports Chosun mentioned that Sistar is a 'Super New Girl Group' that attracted much attention toward their debut. Over the past two years of training, they have gained a reputation for training their vocal and dancing skills under the likes of Jo Young-soo, Shinsadong Tiger, and E-Tribe. Music industry professionals shared high expectations for the group, calling them Korea's "Destiny's Child."

Sistar began their group activities early in 2010 with commercials and magazine photoshoots. They made their official debut with the song "Push Push" on 3 June 2010, followed by their debut television performance on 4 June on Music Bank.

The group returned on 25 August with their second single, "Shady Girl", the music video featured Kim Hee-chul of Super Junior. The group received much 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, fracturing her thumb. This prompted 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. The video went viral on the internet and was featured on G4's online show Attack of the Show!, and an RTL Television news segment.[citation needed]

On 14 September, Sistar was invited to perform at Japan's "Hallyu Music Festival" as the only Korean girl group present. On 10 October, Sistar performed on the show Teen Superstar in Thailand. The group released their third single, "How Dare You," in November.[citation needed] On 9 December, the group attended the Golden Disc Awards and won the "Newcomer Award." On 27 December, Sistar won their first music show award for "How Dare You" on Music Bank.[citation needed]
