As much as we wanted to deny the reality, SISTAR is really disbanding 🙁
After news of the disbandment was confirmed by Starship Entertainment, members of the idol group took to their fan cafe to reach out to their fans about the shocking decision.
It’s not easy going through disbandment, as the idol group and their fans have shared 7 years of memories together. As such, the members have revealed hand-written letters which expressed their thankfulness, regret, and love for their fans, STAR1.
Their letters are as follows:
Dasom: “There are so many things I want to say to you guys, but I feel agonized and cautious about what I should say first. It’s been 7 years since we debuted under the name SISTAR. I want to thank you for always supporting and loving us. I believe that we’ve been able to end this 7-year journey, which would have been a little rough otherwise, on a happy note thanks to our connection with you. We have made the tough decision to end our activities as SISTAR with this upcoming album and walk our individual paths. We hope to continue to repay our fans for the overflowing love you have given us as SISTAR through our individual activities. We will work hard to connect with you more. Please support us. Thank you.”
Bora: “Star1, hello. It’s SISTAR’s Bora. Every year, I tell our fans to be happy, and I wonder if the past 7 years have been happy and fun for you. The times I’ve spent with the other members of SISTAR and Star1 have been so precious and happy. I feel like my hard work never fully expressed how I feel about our fans, and the feeling of regret I have for not doing better during our time as SISTAR continues to grow. When you told me that seeing me bright and happy gave you strength, I worked even harder to be more energetic. I will continue to do so in the future. So many memories are flashing through my head as I write this. We’ve decided to support each other on our individual paths. However, this won’t be the last time you see us, and I will work hard to be the best that I can be as Yoon Bora. To our Star1, who have loved SISTAR and have loved Bora, thank you for always being by our side. I was happy. Let’s keep being happy. I love you.”
Soyou: “It’s already been 7 years. The happy moments and difficult times have been more happy and less difficult because I always had my fellow members and Star1 by my side. Looking back on our time with our fans, I feel bad and regretful because I feel like I never did enough. No matter what I do in the future, I will never forget how I feel about my fellow members and fans. I love you… I’m sorry… and I’m grateful. I’ll be back with good music. Till the very end, let’s all remember to be happy.”
Hyorin: “To Star1, who have always loved and support us. Hello, this is SISTAR’s leader Hyorin. It’s already been 7 years since SISTAR debuted. The time I have spent with my fellow members and Star1 as SISTAR’s Hyorin have been like a dream, so precious that I wouldn’t change them for the world. We will now be going our separate ways to start a new chapter in our lives. I want to sincerely thank Star1 for teaching us how much of a joy and blessing it is to sing for someone, to perform on stage for someone, to be loved by someone, and to love that person back. Putting our regrets behind us, we hope to support each other’s dreams and do our best to grow and be better as individuals. I love my fellow members and Star1 and you will forever be in my heart. You’ve given me more love than I deserve and given me strength, even though I am lacking in may ways. I want to thank you with all my heart. I love you.”
Before they part ways, the idol group will be dropping one last album on 31st May. Their contracts will also be expiring this coming June.
You’ll be missed, SISTAR 🙁 Thank you for all the great music you gave us and we’ll be supporting the members as solo artistes!
