The legendary duo is none other than the sub-unit from "Summer Queens" SISTAR, SISTAR19!
On May 8, netizens formed an online discussion where they reviewed the duo's impact on the music industry. The duo is composed by SISTAR members Hyolyn and Bora, who managed to go viral with their hit song "Ma Boy."
The song became prominent in K-pop's unforgettable "Golden Era" due to its recognizable melody, sultry concept, and choreography, which contains a body-roll as its "killing part." In a forum, internet users recalled on how they remember SISTAR19's songs.
Their impact was so prominent, people even listed numerous female sub-units or trios from the second generation, such as SNSD's TaeTiSeo and After School's Orange Caramel.
Some even pointed out that SISTAR19's success was more immense than SISTAR, its original group. Others remarked that SISTAR19's songs are still fresh until this day and will remain iconic in K-pop. However, some slightly disagreed with the opinion.
