Although the girls are glad about being met with gradual success through their music, they claim that it’s their music and vocal capability that makes them proud the most. SISTAR stated, “Our goal is to receive acknowledgment for our music, not our faces.” They earned a great response and received acknowledgment for being able to sing live while dancing. “Ever since our debut, we agreed on focusing on music until we were recognized for it before moving on to other activities,” Hyorin explained. SISTAR revealed that it was closest to their actual image. Hyorin added, “‘Push Push’ and ‘Shady Girl’ were more about cute expressions, which was really very hard. ‘How Dare You’ is easier to enjoy on stage. ”
