Kang Ji Hyun (강지현) or her stage name Soyu / Soyou (소유) is member South Korean girl group SISTAR. Soyu auditioned for Starship, singing a cover of Navi's "On The Road". Soyu's road to fame was not a smooth one at all, but full of downfalls and hardships. It turns out that Soyu has actually been preparing to become a singer for a long period of time, and even had the chance to be part of 4minute. However, due to unknown reasons, she was rejected at the last minute, and was separated from 4minute’s current members, continuing on her own journey. Soyu's place replaced by 4Minutes's Kwon Sohyun.

In 2010, Soyu sang for 'Gloria OST' titled 'It's Okay' and for 'Mischievous Kiss' titled 'Should I Say I Love You'. In August 9th, 2011 when Sistar comeback with their album 'So Cool' member Soyu reported that she lost 8kg in preparation for their comeback. Soyu confessed that she felt she looked fat in photos with her group members. So Soyu worked very hard on her diet this time. The viewers, were initially surprised at how pretty Soyu had become. Soyu became extremely pretty, so they can’t even recognize her.
