What the “19″ stands for in SISTAR19 + what is your favorite sub-unit name?

Girl group SISTAR’s sub-unit, SISTAR19, recently explained the meaning behind their name on ”Quiz That Changes the World“.

They said, “Many people think the 19 means something rated R”, but then clarified that, “It’s actually because ‘Ma Boy’ is about a girl who has fallen in love as she turned 19, the age between being a girl and an adult.”

As their name meaning caught people’s attention, other sub-unit groups’ names caught people’s eyes as well.
