Channel FIESTAR is a reality/variety show that aired from November 2013 to January 2014. It features the K-pop girl group FIESTAR with members Jei (leader), Linzy, Yezi, Hyemi, Cheska, and Cao Lu.
The show centers around the theme of Fiestar having a dedicated television channel. Each episode is split into three parts, totaling around 50 minutes of runtime, typically with multiple segments per part.
Each segment is considered a show, and "advertisements" featuring the members are randomly dispersed throughout an episode. Segments range from reality TV-type shows ("Pair", which puts the members through a speed dating routine, and "FIESTAR Healing and Killing", where half the members take a trip to Osaka, Japan) to their private lives ("Goosebumps Experts") to silly games with punishments ("FIESTAR Arcade").
Channel FIESTAR is quite enjoyable. The interaction among the members and the variety parts of the show are reminiscent of Hello! Morning. It also helps that LOEN Entertainment subtitled the show in both English and Chinese.
