SISTAR 19 also mentioned ‘Ma Boy’ in relation to their new album ‘NO MORE (MA BOY)’.

On the 9th, SISTAR19’s Hyorin and Bora met with Seoul Economy Star in a location in Gangnam-gu, Seoul and told various stories related to the group and their new album ‘No More’.

SISTAR 19, a two-member unit of SISTAR, debuted in 2011 with the concept of ‘crossing the boundary between girls and ladies.’ The debut single ‘Ma Boy’ and the 2013 released song ‘Because There’s Not There’ were greatly loved by the public and exerted as much influence as the entire SISTAR group.

In the unit name, ’19’ means 19 years old (Nineteen). At the time, Hyorin and Bora were 21 and 20 years old, respectively. Now, 13 years later, have you ever thought about the unit name that represents 19 years old? Hyorin said, “I got sick of it (since I was 19),” and she laughed.

Bora also said, “We’ve become far apart,”but “Rather than giving it a new meaning just because we’re doing it at this age, the emotion of the song “No More”itself is “Ma Boy.”I think we can continue to connect because there was 39;. That part was the most important. There was nothing awkward about being 19 at all. actually

I’ve thought about ’29’, but I’m already past that age. But he burst out laughing, saying, “But that’s not enough to make 39.”

Hyorin expressed such beautiful love with a lot of energy when “Ma Boy”was in the prime of love, but it was a closed breakup with “Because it’s there and it’s not there.”If I showed my feelings of breakup back then, ‘No More’ continues to experience those moments, and now I can say goodbye coolly and calmly. It is an extension of that meaning. He said, “Isn’t this the confidence of ‘No More’?”

Borado said, “It’s an emotional song, but it has added confidence. Because it has composure and confidence, it is a song that can be expressed as ‘This is how you go too’ even when faced with sadness. “Emotional yet strong,” he said, “Ma Boy.” It pointed out that he has grown compared to his time.

Meanwhile, SISTAR 19 will release their new album ‘No More’ at 6 PM on this day and make a comeback after 11 years.
