- In Jan 2011, a new sub-group called Sistar 19 was formed
In Janurary 2011, the decision to make a new sub-group with leader Hyorin and Bora was made. Called Sistar19, the "19" would symbolize the age. According to Starship Entertainment, "being 19 is considered youthful, innocent, yet becoming an adult as well." The irony is that both Hyorin (20) and Bora (21) are both older than 19.
This new subgroup was to showcase Hyorin's powerful vocals, while showing Bora's rapping and flow in their upcoming single.
Sistar19 is a sub-unit of Sistar. It features two members: Hyorin and Bora.
They released "Ma Boy" on April 27th, 2011. With the music video's body roll dance routine and R&B feel, the song quickly caught onto the Korean music and TV stations.
With their recent activities in the past month, expect Sistar to stay low and prepare for their next album.
