Hold on to your beach hats and sunscreen because Hyolyn, the unstoppable ‘Summer Queen,’ is back and ready to make waves! At the stroke of midnight KST on July 8, the powerhouse vocalist of SISTAR dropped some sizzling concept photos for her upcoming single, “Wait,” and we are here for it. The countdown to August 12 at 6 p.m. KST has officially begun, and it will definitely be one hot ride.
Picture this: Hyolyn, standing majestically in front of a cascading waterfall, a delicate flower tucked gracefully in her hair. The visuals perfectly capture the essence of summer, radiating freedom, adventure, and the promise of a summer anthem destined to get us all dancing. It’s a track that will effortlessly slide into our playlists and secure a permanent spot, becoming the soundtrack of our sunny days, pool parties with margaritas, and starry nights filled with fairytale longings and endless fun
“Wait” isn’t just any single; it’s Hyolyn’s grand return after over a year since her last solo track, “This Love,” featuring rapper Paul Blanco in 2023. Fans have been eagerly waiting since then, and now the queen is ready to reclaim her throne. The new track promises to be a liberating anthem, capturing Hyolyn’s desire to break free from constraints and embrace a more independent and joyful spirit.
In true Hyolyn fashion, her agency has rolled out a detailed “Wait Island Roadmap” schedule, teasing the fans with what’s to come. Every date on the roadmap highlights key dates leading up to the single’s release, promising exciting teasers and sneak peeks. It feels like opening a new window on an advent calendar, building the hype for the big release.
But that’s not all! Earlier this year, Hyolyn teamed up with her SISTAR bandmate Bora to bring back SISTAR19 with their nostalgic single, “No More (Ma Boy)”. Reflecting on their reunion after 11 long years, Hyolyn told NME, “It’s always been at the back of our minds.” The duo’s dream of a full SISTAR reunion might be challenging due to different agency affiliations; however Hyolyn added, “We’re up for the challenge.”
SISTAR – formed by Hyolyn, Bora, Soyou and Dasom – debuted in 2010, delivering hits like “Push Push,” “Give It To Me,” and “Shake It.” The group officially disbanded in 2017 after gifting fans their farewell single “Lonely.” But the magic didn’t end there—they reunited in 2022 on You Heeyeol’s Sketchbook to support Hyolyn’s comeback with “Ice.” SISTAR skyrocketed to fame as one of the most successful second-generation girl groups, captivating fans worldwide with their electrifying energy and sensational music.
And now, as we prepare for “Wait,” Hyolyn is also set to light up the stage at “KCON LA 2024” on July 27. So, mark your calendars, set your alarms, and get ready to dive into the vibrant world of Hyolyn’s “Wait” on August 12 at 6 p.m. KST. This summer is shaping up to be one for the books!
