SISTAR 2010 to 2017: Debut, 'Summer Queen,' Disbandment
In 2010, the second-gen girl group SISTAR debuted as a quartet, comprised of Hyolyn, Bora, Soyou and Dasom, under the agency Starship Entertainment.
Following their debut, they received decent success as rookies and it took only a few years until their popularity skyrocketed thanks to their bops, "So Cool," "Shake It," "Loving U," "Touch My Body," "Give it to me," "I Like That" and more, which were all released in the summer season.
As the group continued to dominate the domestic and international music charts every summer, SISTAR was given the moniker "Summer Queen."

HYOLYN
Meanwhile, Hyolyn, the group's main vocalist, recently established a one-man agency, BRID3, the first one to do some after the group parted ways.

She recently released a new song "This Love" and appeared on Mnet's audition program "Queendom 2."
BORA
As for Bora, the group's main rapper and dancer after disbandment continued her activities as an actress and singer.
As of 2023, Yoon Bora showed her focus on her acting career, joining numerous dramas, such as "Pale Moon," "Dr. Romantic 3," and "Celebrity."
DASOM
Along with Bora, Dasom also focuses on her career as a full-fledged actress.
In 2017, she won the SBS Acting Award for Best Female New Actress thanks to her excellent portrayal of Yang Dalhee in the drama, "Band of Sisters."
Her latest acting project was with "Kokdu: Season of Deity," which ended in March.
