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 three songs.
Trivia worth knowing
Entry point
Alone carries the grown-up side of SISTAR and Touch My Body the summer side, and the two together frame the act.
Summer song

Choreography
I Like That is built around choreography with fabric, which is worth revisiting in the Dance Practice after the music video.
Singing
Hyolyn and Soyou anchor the vocals, so even the bright material carries real weight.
Unit
SISTAR19 paired Hyolyn and Bora, and it is a denser performance entry point than the main group.
Closing note
Lonely closed the group's run and is the key video for the feeling around the disbandment announcement.
