SISTAR is a four-member new girl group debuting in April, rumored for both their vocal qualities and dancing skills. However, as soon as their debut photoshoot for Ceci came out, the girls were labeled as ‘2NE1 copy cats’.

According to their company Starship Entertainment, “SISTAR is a girl group with both the skills and style to create a new cultural code with their popping music, dance moves, fashion sense and more and will rise up as a style icon for the 10s and 20s youth.”

SISTAR made their existence known through a fashion magazine photoshoot on March 19. But they have been criticized for having an all too similar concept as 2NE1 at the time of their debut.

DCInside 2NE1 gallery says ‘SISTAR this is a bit too much’ and puts up a comparison image. Their statement points out that the funnel 2NE1’s Gong Minji is holding is the same as the one the SISTAR member is holding.

However, having the same items in a photoshoot is something that can happen. What was more surprising was that ‘SISTA’ was supposed to be 2NE1’s name before 2NE1 was chosen as their official name. There are articles that have been posted up in March of 2009 just before 2NE1 was debuting, when they were just known as ‘Female Big Bang, group name is SISTA.’

Because of this, Netizens’ curiosity on the relation between SISTAR and 2NE1 is being amplified.

Yup.. it looks like it, so i think its really true


just retweet....is this true??


ROfl .. this is funny


I can’t wait for their debut...already saw one video of their member doing a cover and it was pretty cool!


they look closer to 4minute than 2ne1


“Imitation is the sincerest of flattery.”


I’m sure even they do well, that they will be criticized.


Criticized even before debut… not good for them.
As long as they have talent and are unique, I’ll be supporting them. No more dark concept now please


Remember when 4minute was bashed for this? I don’t feel they’re copying 2NE1 at all. This is just a regular photo shoot, that has a similar look and a funnel.

We will see if they’re any good and “sound” like 2NE1.


When scrolling down, I accidentally thought both the pictures at the top were of 2NE1. Whoops.

But as long as they’re talented, I don’t really care that much about what their concept is. Unless they’re blatantly copying to the point of being sued or something, which I doubt. ^^


^^ Yeah, I really don’t mind. As long as they’re talented. Having “another 2NE1” is not a bad things at all!


ahh, way too similar concept. like ridiculously similar.
as long as they are talented, I’ll still listen to their songs though
