| —S.I.S | ||
S.I.S (에스아이에스) was a four-member girl group under XX Entertainment. Originally as six, they debuted on August 25, 2017 with the single album "I've Got A Feeling".
They presumably disbanded around March 2021 following a long period of inactivity.
The group name is an acronym for Serendipity In Stars, symbolizing the group's ambition to deliver "unexpected fun in the stars" to the public. Additionally, it carries the nuance of "sis," a shortened form of "sister."[1]

Pre-debut[]
On May 15, 2017, XX Entertainment announced the debut of a new girl group named S.I.S by opening their official fan café and Twitter account. The members were gradually introduced over the following days.[2][3]

The group returned on September 20 with their second digital single, "Say Yes", following promotional teasers and the success of their earlier Makestar project.
On December 13, the group opened thair second crowdfunding campaign on Makestar.[9] In just four hours the project reached its goal and went on reach 312% by the due date on February 8, 2019.[10]
On February 10, Dal made her solo debut with the digital single "Sad Love Story".[11]
As part of their second Makestar project, a comeback schedule was revealed on February 21, confirming the release of their third single album, "Always Be Your Girl", which was later released on March 6.[12]
On July 12, XX Entertainment announced that J-Sun’s contract had expired and that she had chosen not to renew it in order to focus on her studies. They also revealed that Dal would be going on a temporary hiatus due to personal reasons. As a result, the group would continue promoting as four.[13]
On August 6, a third crowdfunding project for S.I.S's comeback was launched on Makestar. Once again, it surpassed its goal, reaching 259% of its initial target.[14]
2020–2021: Dal's departure, "Don't Wait" & Minzy's hiatus[]
By April 2020, Dal was no longer listed on the group’s social media, indicating her unofficial departure.
On July 20, an individual teaser for Minzy was released, following the conclusion of the group’s third Makestar crowdfunding project. The teaser confirmed S.I.S's comeback with their fourth single album, which was eventually released on July 31, titled "Don't Wait".[15]
On October 8, it was announced that Minzy would be taking a temporary break from activities.[16]
In February 2021, S.I.S became models for the flower delivery brand 7788Flower.[17][18] The CFs featured Minzy, Anne, Sebin, and their labelmate Ria from BOTOPASS.
In March, the group’s Facebook page was deleted and their Instagram was set to private.[19] Other accounts remained inactive, and no official statement followed. This led to the presumption that the group had quietly disbanded.
