No, Sistar19 is not currently under Starship Entertainment. Their original parent group, Sistar, disbanded in 2017 after their exclusive contract with Starship Entertainment expired.
Understanding Sistar and Starship Entertainment
Sistar, the popular K-pop girl group, made their debut in 2010 under Starship Entertainment. They gained significant recognition for their vibrant, summer-themed music. However, the group's journey with Starship Entertainment concluded in 2017 when their exclusive contract reached its end.
Key points regarding Sistar's tenure with Starship:
- Debut: Sistar launched under Starship Entertainment in 2010.
- Success: Known for hit tracks like "Touch My Body" (2014) and "Shake It" (2015).
- Disbandment: The group officially disbanded in 2017.
- Reason: Disbandment occurred due to the expiration of their exclusive contract with the agency.
The Status of Sistar19
Sistar19 is a subunit composed of two members from Sistar. As a subunit, its activities and contractual ties were inherently linked to the main group's overarching agreement with Starship Entertainment. Once Sistar's contract with the agency concluded and the group disbanded, it naturally meant that the subunit was also no longer affiliated with Starship.
Following the disbandment of Sistar in 2017, the members primarily focused on their individual careers. While Sistar19 has since released new music (such as a single in 2024), these activities occur independently of their former agency, Starship Entertainment, given that their original group's contractual obligations ended years prior.
