Singer Hyolyn revealed behind-the-scenes details about the “Idol Star Athletics Championships” (hereinafter referred to as “ISAC”) and gave a stern comment.
On the 13th, a video […] was posted on the YouTube channel ‘Neighborhood Star K.’ In the video, singer Hyolyn appeared as a guest and had a conversation with Jonathan, discussing various topics.
Jonathan started by saying, “Recently, the revival of ‘ISAC’ has been a hot topic,” and asked, “Wasn’t Sistar dominating the early days of ISAC?” Previously, ISAC, short for ‘Idol Star Athletics Championships,’ is a variety show aired during the holidays on MBC, where idols from various agencies compete in sports.
Hyolyn admitted, “We were also very surprised,” and confessed, “It was a talent we discovered at ISAC.” She mentioned that Sistar never missed first place in the relay races. She added, “We didn’t even know we were good at that, and we wanted to work hard to make ourselves known during our rookie days.”
From 2010 to 2015, Sistar consistently participated in ISAC, winning 9 gold medals in the relay team events and sweeping medals in individual events like hurdles, high jump, and running, earning the nickname ‘sports idols.’ Later on, they faced competition from other agencies and even held a retirement ceremony.
Jonathan asked, “Idol fans say they get sick of just hearing the term ‘ISAC.'” According to various sources, there are also some underlying tensions on-site, making it not an easy situation. Hyolyn confessed, “I only realized that recently,” and added, “I’ve never even received any advances.”
Hyolyn mentioned that Sistar really only participated to sweep the competitions and to exercise. She wondered, “Fans were all watching us from the same place we were, and it seemed like they didn’t even have access to their phones.” Jonathan was impressed, saying, “So you really went there without any other thoughts and just worked hard.”
Jonathan also asked Hyolyn to give a word of advice to those who come on ‘ISAC’ without participating in the sports and only with “ulterior motives”.
Hyolyn responded sharply, “Think again about why you came here,” and added, “You can do that after the recording is over. It finishes around 5 a.m., so if you don’t have any other plans then, go ahead.”
On the 12th, Hyolyn released her digital single ‘Wait’ through major music sites. The new song ‘Wait’ is an Afrobeats track expressing a desire to break free from all the things that were holding her back and to move forward freely.
