(ATTN: INSERTS dropped word in fourth para)

SEOUL, Jan. 23 (Yonhap) -- Hyolyn of the Korean girl group Sistar will begin a concert tour of American clubs in March, her management agency said Monday.

"Hyolyn will hold her first live vocal performances in New York and Los Angeles night clubs in mid-March in partnership with the U.S. Transparent Agency," the Starship Entertainment said in a release.

Hyolyn will leave for the United States in the month to take part in the annual South by Southwest (SXSW) festival set to run from March 10-19 in Austin, Texas.

Debuting as a Sistar member in 2010 with its single "Push Push," she has been rated highly for her singing skills and has collaborated with many global musicians.

The performer's American concert-related information is available on Transparent Agency's official website (www.transparentagency.com/hyolyn).
