Available in: gb icon
Sistar (Hangul: 씨스타, often stylized as SISTAR) is a South Korean girl group formed in 2010 under the management of Starship Entertainment. The group consists of Hyolyn, Bora, Soyou and Dasom.

History:

2010: Pre-debut, Push Push, Shady Girl, and How Dare You:
Sistar began their group activities early in 2010 with commercials and magazine photoshoots.
The group made their official debut with the song "Push Push" on 1 June 2010. On 3 June, Starship released the accompanying music video for Push Push. Sistar had their debut performance on 4 June on Music Bank and continued promotions on various Korean music shows through 26 July.

The group returned with their second single "Shady Girl" on 25 August along with a music video. The video featured Super Junior member Kim Heechul. The single was well received and charted much higher on Korean music charts than their debut single The group also received a lot of media attention when a fan-taken video was uploaded online showing the group filming their performance at "Let's Start Sharing Concert" on 28 August. During the middle of their performance member Bora suddenly fell onstage, prompting the other members to stop singing and assist her off the stage with the help of staff. Several minutes later, Bora returned to stage along with the other members to finish filming their performance. According to Starship Entertainment, she had fractured her thumb and would be treated for the next three weeks. The video went viral on the internet and was featured on G4's online show 'Attack of the Show!', and an RTL Television Germany's news segment. On 14 September Sistar was invited to perform in Japan's "Hallyu Music Festival" as the only Korean girl group present.

However, the border skirmish between North and South Korea at Yeonpyeong Island caused the music video release to be pushed back almost a week, until 2 December.
