Volume 5 2013 Chapter 904: Sistar's New Stage
Idol groups are essentially entertainment commodities, and the purpose of brokerage companies launching groups is to make money.
After the group became popular, it was natural for the members to develop their own individual schedules.
On the one hand, for the agency, personal travel costs are lower and income is higher. On the other hand, the members themselves also hope to have different developments, and their income will also increase.
So after the group became famous, it was a win-win situation.
Basically, every famous Korean group so far has done this.
Of course, as more and more personal trips occur, conflicts between personal interests and group interests will arise. The final breakup of many groups is related to this conflict of interest.
But Sistar is not there yet.
They have just entered their prime and are still a long way from having this kind of problem.
In fact, when it comes to personal schedules, Sistar has always had one.
It is just basically concentrated on a few members.
Because Sistar is more like a singing group than an idol group.
Their charm and selling point are mostly reflected in their music and performance, and they are not very well developed in other areas. This is fundamentally different from almost all-round idol groups like Girls' Generation.
If SM is a typical group that sells personality, then Sistar is more like a group that sells music.
Although they have appeared in many variety shows like other idol groups, that is just the treatment they deserve for a popular girl group, not because they have any special talents in this regard.
This is also in line with the positioning of Korean girl groups in variety shows, where they exist more as vases.

"Personal trip? Us?"
After watching the preparations for this comeback, the boy talked about topics unrelated to the comeback, which surprised the members.
"Yeah~ Now that the group is popular, you should try your own solo schedule, don't you want to make more money?"
Looking at Sis tar who is becoming more mature and beautiful , the young man couldn't help but sigh that fame nourishes people.
"Only Paula Unnie can do this kind of thing, right?"
Kim Da-soon is not very confident.
Sistar is not without personal schedules, but just like Girl's Day's Fang Min-ah, small company groups need someone who can attract attention on variety shows in the early stages, and this person for Sistar is Yoon Bora.
Yoon Bora, who debuted as the campus beauty of Myongji University on the KBS program "Golden Stairs," came from a poor family background. Her family was in difficult circumstances, so the girl has been mature, open-minded, and able to endure hardships since childhood.
She participated in the most variety shows in the early days of the group. Although she had few lines and the recording took a long time, she always remained full of energy.
Although Bora is the oldest, she is not the captain. On the contrary, this eldest sister is the real "bully" in the group. Many times, even Naedosun can "bully" Bora.
As the rapper and lead dancer in the group, Bora's ability is not very outstanding. Compared with real rappers in idol groups such as CL, LE, and HyunA, her rap can only be said to be entry-level.
Although the dancing ability is very good, due to the limitations of Sistar's style, there is not much performance overall.
Compared with Hyolyn and Soyou, her singing skills are relatively weak. Although she participates in many variety shows, her sense of variety is not outstanding, which is often complained by her teammates.
But Paula's real charm lies in her superior appearance, generous and friendly personality and excellent athletic ability.
There is no need to say much about her appearance. In fact, compared to her official appearance, Paula has always been highly praised.
He is generous, enthusiastic and friendly, which makes people feel close to him at first sight and brings positive energy to others.
Moreover, as a legend of the "Idol Athletics Games", her athletic ability is unquestionable, and her performance in various sports variety shows is also remarkable. Coupled with the fit body brought by sports, these are the secrets to Paula's success in group variety shows.
So when it comes to personal itineraries, the first person that comes to mind is Paula.
"There is no need to worry about Paula Nuna. She is developing steadily and will only get better. This year she can challenge herself to be the host of a music show."
The boy had already made arrangements for his dearest elder sister .
MBC's "Music Core", SBS's "Inkigayo", KBS's "Music Bank", Mnet's "M! Countdown" and MBC Music's "Show Champion" are currently the five major music programs in South Korea.
The first three are music shows on the three major wireless TV stations. M! Countdown is the largest music show on cable TV, and Show Champion is a new music show that was just established in 2012.
These music shows will invite popular young artists, mainly idols, to be the hosts of the shows, and now Paula can also give it a try.
"Really?"
Yoon Bora, who had been calm, was suddenly overjoyed.
Only popular idols and artists have the opportunity to host music shows, and basically once elected, they will not be replaced for a year. Such a schedule with stable exposure every week and not too intense is a very good schedule for idols.
Previously, only idols of the level of Girls' Generation, Miss A, T-ara and IU could take on this role, but now she can do it too.
This is certainly a happy thing.
"Wow~ Congratulations, unnie~"
“This is awesome~”
Everyone was envious because it was really a great trip.
"What about the three of us?"
Since the elder sister has made such good arrangements, Duoshun naturally looks forward to his upcoming personal itinerary.
"Not three, but two."
Yi Haoyan corrected Duosun's statement and pointed at her and Jiang Zhixian who was watching coldly on the side. His meaning was very clear.
"Don't worry about Hyolyn's anger."
Hyolyn really doesn't need to worry.
As the soul of the team, Kim Hyo-jung is the undisputed number one singer. Her outstanding singing skills and vocal conditions made her choose the music route early on.
In 2011, she participated in the music program "Immortal Songs 2" and won the championship many times, and was called "Beyoncé of Korea".
In the same year, he sang the OST "For Me, Because It's You" for the KBS Wednesday-Thursday drama "Glory Jae-in" and formed a sub-group Sistar19 with member Bora.
In the entire group, she, like Yoon Bora, is the one who doesn't have to worry about her personal schedule. Singing the OST alone is enough to keep her busy.
In addition to the activities of the main group and sub-group, Hyolyn has many OST schedules.
On January 19, 2012, she sang the OST "I Will Love You" for the movie "Meet Love 2" and participated in the TV series "DREAM HIGH2", playing the role of "Nana".
On February 21, 2012, he sang the OST "Super Star" of the TV series "DREAM HIGH2" with T-ara's Jiyeon and Ailee.
Basically speaking, in the early stage, Kim Hyo-jung, like Yoon Bora, has always had personal schedules since her debut, but unlike Bora, she competes in variety shows.
Hyolyn relies on her great voice and focuses on developing in the direction of OST. She doesn't worry about conflicts with other company's resources or personal schedule issues.
