Sistar is a South Korean Girl Group which consists of 4 members namely: Dasom, Soyu, Bora and Hyorin. I've known this group because of Soyu. I really love the song "Some" by Soyu and Junggigo and it was my favorite song for like a month or two so at that time I searched the two singers and found out that Soyu is from a group named Sistar.


Sistar debuted on June 3, 2010 under Starship Entertainment but a few months ago on May 23, 2017 their entertainment announced the the group was disbanded. Let’s meet the members below!
