Background and release
editSister's Slam Dunk is a South Korean reality show starring Ra Mi-ran, Kim Sook, Hong Jin-kyung, Min Hyo-rin, Jessi and Tiffany that follows the cast's attempt at fulfilling their personal dreams.[1] In order to accomplish Min Hyo-rin's dream of debuting as a member of a girl group, the cast formed a special girl group named Unnies and began working on a song produced by Park Jin-young.[2] Hyo-rin had been a trainee at JYP Entertainment but was cut by the company, although she later debuted as a soloist and has released an album, it was a regret of hers that she had been unable to debut as a girl group member. Recording and choreography practice sessions for the song, later revealed to be titled "Shut Up", took place at JYP's headquarters and made up several episodes of the show.
"Shut Up" was released on July 1, 2016.[3] Its music video, which features guest appearances by You Hee-yeol, Kim Joon-ho, Park Jin-young, Nine Muses member Gyeongree and Got7 member Jackson, was released on July 8.
