Hyolyn was asked who the next summer queens of K-pop are and she has a surprising answer

Hyolyn, the member of the legendary summer queen group SISTAR, recently shared her thoughts on the next generation of summer queen girl groups during an appearance on Jonathan's YouTube channel, "TheKStarNextDoor".

When asked by Jonathan who she thinks the next summer queen group is, Hyolyn confidently replied, "I think SISTAR's place is still SISTAR's," reaffirming the group's enduring influence.

Hyolyn also showcased her powerful vocals by singing snippets of aespa's "Armageddon," ILLIT's "Magnetic," and BABYMONSTER's "Sheesh."

Netizens quickly responded with comments like:

"Honestly, Summer Queen? I still think no one can replace SISTAR."

"Hyolyn, can you please have a concert with SISTAR? 2NE1 and KARA are having concerts these days, so why not SISTAR? I'm begging you! It's so hot these days, and I listen to 'So Cool' every day 😭"

"SISTAR is summer itself. They didn't earn the Summer Queen title for nothing. Just look at how their debut to disbandment songs all made it onto the yearly charts."

"It felt like she was singing and saying, 'Hey juniors, watch closely, this is how you do a real live performance!' Haha."

"Spring, SISTAR, Fall, Winter..."

"Holding my breath until SISTAR returns."
