Template:Contains Korean text

Fiestar (Template:Lang-ko) is a six member girl group from South Korea. They debuted in September 2012 with the single "Vista" featuring JYJ's Junsu.[1]

History

Pre-debut

While many of the members took part in various activities before the group's formal debut, according to their agency, all of them had been training together for two years and the average training time among the members was 4 years.[2] Chinese member Cao Lu was previously a solo singer in Mainland China after winning a 2004 CCTV sponsored singing contest. Her album, titled Cat, was released in 2005 under her former stage name, LuLu.

Leader Jei did modeling for various online clothing stores and was the female lead for boy band Infinite's music video for their song 'Paradise', while Linzy was a trainee under YG Entertainment and recorded a song for the 2010 Korean drama Obstetrics and Gynecology.[3]

2012: Debut & We Don't Stop

LOEN Entertainment initially announced that they would be debuting a six member girl group that contained not only members from South Korea, but from China and the United States as well.[4] After revealing the names and pictures of the members, it was revealed that they would be singing a duet with label mate IU prior to their debut for their agency's artist collaboration album.[5] Titled 'Sea of Moonlight', the song ranked high on the Korean music charts.

In August, the group's debut single "Vista" was announced and it was revealed that they would also be collaborating with hip-hop artist Tiger JK for a pre-release song called "Wicked", which received much attention for its Reggaeton influence. JYJ's Junsu made a guest appearance in the music video for "Vista" along with Seungah from Sunny Hill.

On November 1, member Cheska revealed the girls were planning to comeback, which was later confirmed by LOEN following the release of the teaser image, along with the comeback date of November 9, 2012 with their second single album, We Don't Stop. The B-side for single, Sweet Love, was released on November 5th and featured ballad singer Kim Yeon-woo.
