On May 8, netizens opened a forum and discussed SISTAR19, whom they claimed as the most successful sub-unit in K-pop. According to many, Hyolyn and Bora's duo was one of the most memorable acts in the second generation.
This was due to "Ma Boy," a song that became famous for its recognizable melody, sultry concept, chair choreography, and the iconic body roll, which is the song's "killing part."
While many second-gen K-pop female sub-units were mentioned, such as Girls' Generation's TaeTiSeo and After School's Orange Caramel, fans claimed how much SISTAR19's virality was unrivaled during the time of the golden era.
Read their comments below:
- "I can't remember a single song from TaeTiSeo, but I do remember SISTAR19's songs."
- "I thought it was about Orange Caramel, but SISTAR19 didn't feel like a unit despite being one."
- "Actually, SISTAR19 was more successful than SISTAR itself."
- "When it comes to the most successful unit, I'd think about TaeTiSeo too, but SISTAR19's songs are so good."
