SISTAR brings down the house, gets exposed to PHL culture at KCON6

It’s that time of the year, and we’re not just talking about Christmas or New Year. It is the time when KPop fans gather round for a good cause while fangirling (or fanboying) over their favorite artists over the biggest KPop event of the year—the 6th Philippine KPop Convention, held last December 28, Sunday at the SMX Convention Hall.

 

Like the crawling traffic of the Christmas rush, fans slowed down and took their time to be with one of the hottest Korean girl groups, SISTAR.

 

Ma Boy

 

 

SISTAR debuted in 2010, but it wasn’t until their sub-unit SISTAR 19’s release of “Ma Boy” in 2011 that the group gained popularity.

 

The original song was released with only Hyorin and Bora in it, but it has become their staple song as a group. Since then, SISTAR has continued to rise and win awards such as the Best Female Group at the MNet Asian Music Awards, and the Bonsang (hit single/artist) Award at the Seoul Music Awards and Golden Disk Awards. 

 

The four members of SISTAR namely (L-R) Dasom, Bora, Hyorin, and Soyu performs their claim to fame song Ma Boy at KCON6.

 

Continuing the success of “Ma Boy,” they have released more top singles, namely: “Alone,” “Give it to me,” “Touch my body,” and their most recent single “I Swear.”

 

Sorry boys, it’s Wolverine

 

During the Q&A portion, SISTAR revealed their ideal man—and it’s Hugh Jackman. The group met the Wolverine star last year while filming the variety show “Star King.” Since then, the group has fallen in love with the Aussie actor. Jackman even went as far as asking the group to be it’s fifth member.

Unfortunately for the girls, the “X-Men” star is not currently in the market; but for fanboys out there, these gorgeous women are looking for a guy who has a good personality and good chemistry with them, or in their words “good feeling,” and a “funny guy.”

 

SISTAR was also asked what they what would they be if they weren’t superstars. Group leader Hyorin answered that she’d be a veterinarian because she is “crazy about animals,” which brought laughter to the audience when the host asked “sino ang hayop rito?”

 

While the other members were specific: Bora wanted to be a professional dancer, and Dasom wanted to be a teacher, Soyu said she would choose to be anything, saying “everything is good.”

 

Being first-timers in the Philippines, they chose eating Jollibee and swimming in the sea or lounging in beaches as their must-tries.

 

“Beks... lafang na tayo para maka-rampa na” and more

 

The girls were known to always be game-on, especially in Korean variety shows. The SISTAR Talent show at KCON6 just proved that they are indeed ready for anything, namely: dancing to Ryzza Mae’s “Cha Cha,” interpreting beki language, and Gwiyoumi.
