ST✹R

"Shining! We are the brightest constellation! 빛나는! 우리는 가장 밝은 별자리입니다! Bichnaneun! Ulineun gajang balg-eun byeoljaliibnida!" ST✹R (Korean: 스타, Japanese: スター, pronounced as STAR, stylised with A as a 12-point star) is a South Korean-Japanese-Chinese girl group formed by CJ E&M through 2015 MNET survival reality show PRODUCE.

The group is managed by YMC Entertainment in South Korea and Warner Music Japan for Japan.

Name and Fandom Meaning
ST✹R is stylised with a twelve point star to symbolise the 12 signs of the zodiac and to symbolise the 12 members of the group, who each represent a zodiac sign (Saeryeon said that them all having different zodiac signs was a coincidence but it ended up being the group's concept). The group's fandom name 'OPHIUCHUS' is often considered the '13th' zodiac sign. It symbolises that you complete the astrological signs.

Debut
ST✹R debuted in South Korea on July 29, 2015, with EP 'FLOWER!' and title track 'VIOLETA' (비올레타).
