Sister's Slam Dunk (Hangul: 언니들의 슬램덩크; RR: Eonnideurui Seullaemdeongkeu) is a South Korean reality show that aired every Friday on KBS 2TV from April 8 to December 2, 2016. The show's first season featured an all-female cast consisting of Ra Mi-ran, Kim Sook, Hong Jin-kyung, Min Hyo-rin, Jessi and Tiffany, and followed their attempts at fulfilling each cast member's dream using a budget of ₩2,196,000 or approximately $2,000.

The cast members formed a special girl group named "Unnies" and released a Park Jin-young-produced single titled "Shut Up", featuring You Hee-yeol, in July 2016.
Season 2 of the program focused primarily on the girl group project, which was Min Hyo-rin's dream in season 1. The show followed seven members, Kang Ye-won, Han Chae-young, Hong Jin-young, Minzy and Jeon So-mi, with Kim Sook and Hong Jin-kyung returning, as they formed the second generation of "Unnies", produced by Kim Hyeong-seok (Park Jin-young's mentor). The fulfillment of each member's personal dreams have become the side projects of the program. The fan club name for the group remains as "DongSaengs" (i.e. younger brothers and sisters) and their official greeting, as suggested by Heo Kyung-hwan, is "Hello! Shoot! Shoot! Shoot! We are Unnies!", with an emphasis on the basketball shooting motion while saying "Shoot".

Controversy
On August 14, 2016, (the day before Korean Liberation Day), Tiffany posted photos on Instagram and, a day later, onto Snapchat that featured the Rising Sun design and the current Japanese flag while performing in Tokyo as a part of SM Town Live World Tour V. After facing substantial criticism, she deleted the images soon after. The program received an outpouring of complaints demanding for the show to remove Tiffany. On August 18, 2016, the program announced that after discussing the situation with S.M. Entertainment, the decision to withdraw was reached. The official statement reads: "As a result of the discussion, we have the final decision for Tiffany to leave the show, in consideration of what we agree to be the effect that the controversy had on the country's sentiments." However, in December 2016, Tiffany reunited with the other cast members at the 15th KBS Entertainment Awards, where they opened the ceremony by performing "Shut Up!".
