Ever since SISTAR stepped onto the K-Pop scene, the spotlight has been on leader Hyolyn, in particular, who has been hailed as ‘Korea’s Beyonce’ for her diva-like voice and stage presence.
Hyolyn is recognized as one of the most vocally talented idol stars in K-Pop right now, and today, we’re reliving some of Hyolyn’s best vocal moments.

Pre-debut
The K-Pop world may not have been prepared for a voice like Hyolyn’s, but she certainly attracted a lot of buzz before SISTAR’s debut, when a video of her singing Christina Aguilera’s Hurt surfaced online.
See Hyolyn before her diva days, when she was just a young girl with a big voice and big dreams.
In the practice room
Flashing lights and booming sound systems can make anyone look and sound amazing onstage, but Hyolyn can turn the diva on just about anywhere.
Watch Hyolyn destroy Beyonce’s Single Ladies in the practice room, no fancy lighting and microphones—or freakum dress, for that matter—necessary.
On the radio
As often is the case with rookie groups, on the radio is where new singers can show off their talent, and Hyolyn impressed us early on in her career through various performances on the air.
SISTAR’s cover of Jamelia’s Superstar on MBC’s Starry Night from their debut days is one of our personal favorites. Not only does the song fit the group’s personality, it showcases Hyolyn’s and Soyou’s vocals. Be sure to watch until the end to see Hyolyn shine!
Duet
Hyolyn has shown off her vocal talent through covers of many pop divas’ hit songs, but her cover of Mariah Carey’s Whenever You Call with label mate K.Will on Kim Jung Eun’s Chocolate ranks as one her best performances.
While such covers of classics often fall short of the original or, worse, overdone, Hyolyn and K.Will make this song an easy listen.
Back to Beyonce
If Hyolyn’s appearances on music programs like Immortal Song 2 have enabled her to step outside of her comfort zone and shown off her versatility as a performer, then performing Beyonce’s hits is like homecoming for Hyolyn.
She most recently amazed fans with a cover of Beyonce’s Halo, featuring pianist Yiruma. Watch the performance here!
