6	Sistar was a four-member GirlGroup from Starship Entertainment. They debuted in June 2010 with lead single "Push Push", and quickly followed up with singles "Shady Girl" and "How Dare You". They gained recognition after the brief stint of their first duo single, "Ma Boy", featuring members Bora and Hyorin, and steadily gained popularity after their first album, "So Cool" was released. However, it wasn't until their single, "Alone", that they finally rose to national recognition. They have since been pioneered as one of the leading girl groups in KoreanPopMusic, due to their catchy dance tunes, unshakable confidence, and gratuitous amounts of fanservice. They were dubbed the "Queens of Summer" due to releasing a hit single almost every June/July.

90	!!Tropes related to Sistar:
91
92	* TheAce: In addition to being the main vocalist of the group, Hyorin is also an exemplary rapper and a dancer.
93	* ActionGirl: Bora is the most athletic member of the group. Also featured in their "So Cool" music video.
94	* AlbumTitleDrop: A lot of their songs.
95	* AwardBaitSong: Hyorin sang the Korean version of [[WesternAnimation/Frozen2013 "Let It Go"]].
96	* BigEater: Soyou.
97	* BlondeBrunetteRedhead: It changes, but notable examples include: blonde Hyorin, brunette Bora, and red-haired Soyou and Dasom in the "Touch My Body" music video; blonde Bora, brunette Hyorin and Dasom, and red-haired Soyou in the "Shake It" music video.
98	* BreakoutCharacter: Despite Hyorin's star status in the group, it was Soyou who managed this sort of success with the release of her duet single, "Some". The song catapulted to the top of the charts and was the best-selling single of 2014 in South Korea. This more or less solidified her position next to Hyorin as a respectable singer.
99	* BreakupSong: In various shapes and sizes, from the powerful ''How Dare You'' to the melancholy ''Alone''.
100	* {{Burlesque}}: The concept behind "Give It To Me".
101	* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: Notable in "How Dare You" as these are also their favorite colors.
102	** Hyorin - Red
103	** Bora - Purple
104	** Soyou - Black
105	** Dasom - Yellow
106	* CustomUniformOfSexy: "Touch My Body" had them wearing nothing but crop tops and short shorts on stage.
107	* DancePartyEnding: The final chorus of "Touch My Body" culminates in a crazy house party in the girls' apartment. Also, "Shake It".
108	* DarkerAndEdgier: After a string of high-energy dance singles and colorful, revealing attire, the girls released "Alone", a sultry ballad about break-ups, with an accompanying music video that featured mainly black and red visuals. Also, "Gone Not Around Any Longer" to "Ma Boy".
109	* EroticEating: The concept photos for "Touch My Body" have the girls eating whipped cream out of a can, [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything with whipped cream not just on their faces, but everywhere else]].
110	* TheFace: Hyorin is the most well-known member of the group, due to her powerful vocals, which have, on more than one occasion, drawn comparisons to {{Music/Beyonce}}.
111	* {{Fanservice}}: They are famously known for their shapely bodies, which they accentuate with very revealing outfits and very high heels.
112	* GenkiGirl: Bora is the most energetic member, and is also the most [[OneOfTheKids childish, despite being the oldest]].
113	* GratuitousEnglish: A majority of their songs have this.
114	-->'''"Shake It"''': Money maker, rump shaker / Heartbreaker, chance taker / Net payer, one slayer
115	* HighSchoolRocks: "Shake It" has the girls pose as queens of the school yard, from shutting down bullies to going on shopping sprees at the mall to hosting block parties while [[MakesAsMuchSenseInContext dancing on top of pink leopard print firetrucks in six-inch heels]]. Think ''Film/{{Heathers}} meets ''Film/{{Clueless}}.
116	* {{Homage}}: Their concept photos for "Shake It" have them channeling key members of the {{ComicBook/Birds of Prey}}, with Hyorin as Catwoman, Bora as Harley Quinn, Soyou as Poison Ivy, and Dasom as Batgirl.
117	* HotterAndSexier: In contrast to their earlier releases, their songs have steadily been going down this route.
118	* IdolSinger
119	* IncrediblyLongNote: Hyorin for a majority of their songs, notably "Give It To Me" and her solo single, "One Way Love".
120	* TheLeader: Hyorin.
121	* LighterAndSofter: In comparison to the rest of their songs, "Shady Girl" is this due to the lack of focus on their sex appeal and overall cuter costumes (pink, fluffy dresses anyone?). Also, "Loving U" to the previous release, "Alone".
122	* MaleGaze: Common in their music videos, but "Shake It" in particular has ''really'' prolonged, extreme close-ups of Soyou's butt and boobs.
123	* MelismaticVocals: One of Hyorin's trademark vocal techniques in many of their songs.
124	* NeverTrustATrailer: The teaser video for [=Sistar19=]'s "Ma Boy" featured a heavy club beat, racing sports cars, and shots of the girls lounging inside a bathtub. The actual song itself is a sweet pop song with pastel visuals and none of the aforementioned hard imagery.
125	* PoolScene: Featured in their music videos for "Loving U" and "I Swear", but takes the cake in "Touch My Body", where 75% of the music video is them dancing and frolicking in or by a pool in revealing swimsuits. Cue the nosebleeds.
126	* RavenHairIvorySkin: Youngest member Dasom tends to be this because of her stark black hair and her very pale skin.
127	* TheRival: Subverted. Fans and media alike originally pitted Sistar against miss A in the early days of their careers, due to being both dance quartets that debuted in the same time span. While miss A was touted as the more superior group back then, Sistar's boom in popularity led them to rise above their peers, and spent the latter part of their career sitting comfortably in the highest rung of girl groups with groups like Music/TwoNEOne and Music/GirlsGeneration.
128	* RoadTripPlot: The main synopsis for their music videos for "Loving U" and "I Swear".
129	* ShowSomeLeg: While a lot of their outfits show a lot of leg, their leather outfits for "Alone" are notable for concealing nearly everything ''but'' their legs (complete with a side slit!).
130	* StageNames: Hyorin's real name is Hyojung, while Soyou's real name is Jihyun.[[note]]Soyou was originally supposed to debut in 4Minute, where the leader's name is also Jihyun. It's possible that she carried her stage name with her when she transferred to Starship Entertainment.[[/note]]
131	* TheSmartGuy: Dasom. In an interview, the members pointed out Dasom as the most intelligent out of all the girls.
132	* TeamMom: Despite not being the oldest, Hyorin considers herself this because of her more serious, no-nonsense attitude with the rest of her members.
133	* VocalTagTeam: Hyorin and Soyou share ample amounts of all their songs.
