KPOP DISCOVER's SISTAR note

SISTAR turn on a combination of sensuality, vocals and mass appeal, and on being a symbol of summer in K-pop. The 4-member girl group debuted from Starship in 2010, and Hyolyn, Bora, Soyou and Dasom opened wide entry points across singing, rap, visuals, variety television and acting.

Alone, Loving U and Give It To Me are the signature tracks that make it easiest to understand how SISTAR combined sensuality, vocals and mass appeal. Alone in particular left a strong impression of the mature side of the group.

Touch My Body, Shake It and I Swear stand as bright hits that symbolise summer in K-pop, and they left strong memories in concerts and on music shows alike. In the order Alone, Loving U, Touch My Body, you pass through the maturity, the vocals and the summer sound.

Editors' take Alone / Loving U / Touch My Body — a Starship 4-piece whose sensuality, vocals and summer-song appeal come through in 3 songs.
