I'm 72 years old and to me Sohyang is the best singer I've ever heard. She has been through so much in her life. She got married at 20 years old and soon after she was diagnosed with Uterine Cancer and was able to survive but rendered infertile. She is a devout Christian and gave God the credit for her surviving the cancer. She first began singing in her local community, with no aspirations of pursuing a career as a professional singer. She has turned down many offers from major record companies, because it would interfere with the plan God gave her, that is to use her voice to comfort people who are going through difficult times. Sohyang is not only beautiful on the outside, but more important she is beautiful on the inside.
Your explanation is so good...
Well said Arthur.
칠순잔치는 하셨나요
I'm 70, agree with you😄
너무나 훌륭한 설명입니다
Sohyang, the world's best singer
She's the absolute best!
This singer is simply the best on earth.
Sohyang is the queen of 5th octave she lives there other singers just visit.
She is incredible technically but you hit the nail on the head when you talked about her presence on the stage. She radiates an essential goodness that's impossible to fake - she connects with the song and her audience that make her performances a communal experience that is unique. Subscribed and looking forward to you discovering more of her catalog!
After God healed So Hyang of uterine cancer more than 20 years ago, her goal continues to be to use her voice to bring comfort to people who are experiencing difficult times.
In addition to being a published author of many books of fiction, So Hyang lectures about song and vocal technique, at a South Korea university.
Welcome to the world of Sohyang
We need more SoHyang reactions
One of the best female vocalists in the world! A beautiful woman inside and out.
She does all her arrangements
She has mixed up to a D6. Her team say her top note is a D7. G5 is her super easy comfort note she hits a lot. She does not use any whistle notes. She may be able to, but you will never see her so it live or on a recording. She is way better than Mariah and all the rest in my opinion. She started singing at age 19. She is now 46 I believe and still has not lost anything. With her prestige training, she can sing any genre, even does a rap song where she rap/sings. Super fast and super precise. He range in this song we just heard is high for most, but not for her.
44 but 45 in Korean cultural terms because they call you a one year old when you are born.
@@vocaleditz9483 That is called God given talent and Sohyang acknowledges her singing talent is from Him. But she actually started singing earlier than that, trying to emulate Mariah Carey's Music Box CD. It is her favourite album to this day.
I am not even a fan of the diva genre. I love the blues and rock much more. But when I discovered Sohyang 3 years back at the age of 61 there was no denying she was the greatest singer I had ever heard and I generally listen to her every day. There is no one like her. Period. 💘
It still amazes me that, having seen pretty much every Sohyang performance there is, this incredible song is somewhere in the middle for me, not even in my top 10. That's simply how good she is.
She always sings like she means it.
Never heard of her?! Goodness.. That amazes me but you've no idea what you have belatedly discovered.. Enjoy the journey!
Welcome to the world of SoHyang~!!!
She is CCM/GOSPEL SINGER of South KOREA and cancer survivor. .
She is one of the greatest vocalist in the world.But She wasn't known as well as popular because She sing for GOD and Comfort people who has hardtime Not for fame or money. ..In her youth, she turned down all offers from mega agencies for her beliefs...and now she is 44years old. .She has so many legendary live performances .
She always sings with sincerity whenever and wherever. So it comforts those who listen to her song...That's why I love her...And her singing skills are the best, not to mention...
This performance is just tip of iceberg.. .
Thanks for your reaction of Queen Sohyang ♥
She is just amazing😂
As you now know, you have hit upon the unknown super star of the singing world. Sohyang just defies description. If you can sing like Sohyang, the world will beat a path to your door. And it has in Sohyang's case. I hope you take the time to read the bio I posted below so you can truly enjoy this astonishing singer and human being. She is truly something else altogether.
Here is what David Foster had to say about Sohyang in an interview with Naver on December 10, 2018, only a week after doing eight concerts with her at Tokyo's Blue Note Club.
“I wanted to meet her very much, and I am happy to have collaborated in putting together a concert. Here is how I got to know about Sohyang. Oprah Winfrey introduced me to 'a stunningly amazing singer whose video is a must watch.' I fell in love at once with Sohyang's first video I watched on RUclips, 'I Have Nothing.' It was thrilling, and I searched to listen to most of her other songs as well. I have wanted to meet her for a long time. She is one of the top divas I've come across."
David Foster didn't hold back praises. "Her voice is very beautiful and overwhelming, and I found her every performance to be emotionally moving and amazing. Moving forward, I want to collaborate again!"
_Translated from Korean by David Day Lee with just a few touch ups for English grammar by moi, Todd Sauve._ 😉
PS It was Whitney Houston's former manager who found Sohyang on RUclips and then showed her to Oprah, and finally she was brought to David Foster's attention.
소향 노래는 언제 들어도 전율이네요. 리액션 잘 봤습니다.
She conveys a wide range of emotions through her singing, from tenderness to passion. Her voice is rich and warm, with a clear vibrato that adds depth and expressiveness to her performances. As a Korean, I am incredibly proud of her for bringing her unique talents to the world and representing Korea in such a positive light. Her skillful singing and emotive performances have made her a beloved artist in Korea and around the world.
Thank God, So Hyang has recovered from testing positive for Covid19 last month. She is looking more beautiful and sounding even better, if that's even possible. She has a compromised immune system. During her cancer surgery decades ago, she needed a blood transfusion, which resulted in her contracting hepatitis b or c. In recent years, So Hyang has battled numerous bouts with pnuemonia. (Eight times between 2016 - 2018). At one point, she believed her singing career was over. If you continue on the So Hyang music journey, there are at least three performances where she was not well, still recovering from pneumonia. Every time, she gave another master class performance. So Hyang has proven, her technique is ROCK SOLID!!
The incurable strain of hepatitis B. Sigh.
Thank you for the update on her covid condition. I've been very worried since I saw she had it.
You should react to her performance "Everyone" on the same show.. still the best vocal performance I've ever heard in my life, one of the best singer of all time
이건 영어자막 버젼으로 봐야 함
Don't jump the gun lol. Arirang first then Lean On Me then Everyone... Everything after .....
Glad to see the holy golden cow make an appearance. That was fun to watch. You should watch Sohyang's performance of "Everyone" speaking of something few singers on the planet could do. It's at the top of my list for most epic performances ever.
Other suggestions. Her singing and creative arrangements make these my favorite performances of these songs.
You Raise Me Up
Lean On Me
She is just amazing.
more please sohyang
If you really want to hear an absolute vocal herculean effort, and go on an absolute emotional rollercoaster, her song Everyone is an absolute must. I don't know that there is another vocalist that can pull it off.
I prefer Lim Jae Bum's version on I am a Singer, but it has an entirely different feel
It is lucky to listen to Sohyang's songs in this era. Looks like an angel from another world. 🇰🇷👍
great reaction I'm a 46 year old metal head I found sohyang thru reaction channels and I have to say for me and my ears personally she Is the top of the class of female singers right now...she truly is so technically good but more than that she is so emotionally connected to what she I singing about that she puts u in almost a trance and you have no choice but to go on the vocal journey she has prepared..her performance of "everyone" I have yet to see another performance of its caliber..it is technically ridiculous but I have never experienced such a satisfying and complete journey and understanding what her battle with cancer was like until I saw that⁰. it is masterclass level and really the most beautiful song I've ever heard up till now....but she also absolutely slays her two covers of Whitney Houston I have nothing and I will always love u...I have heard so many bad covers of I have nothing that I did not like the song anymore..till i heard soyhang....what she does with it had me In tears...and her I will always love you cover really really is stripped down to her and a piano and fabulously showcases the huge array of timbre and tambres she has in her vocal range the best way to describe it is watching her sing it was like watching Bob Ross paint a masterpiece..it's all just such fluid mastery over her gift that my jaw is left on the floor and usually teared up everytime I watch her perform and not just the first time I'm talking I still get chills and some of these performances I've watched over a hundred times...I've never reacted so strongly to a voice before ...I think she is just an angel
You are right. In a league all her own. Check out her rendition of a Korean song with subtitles "Arirang Alone". Sustained notes, dynamics, beautiful transitions, belts that are full, ringy and non-irritating. She is the best of the best. She paints with her vocals like a Van Gogh painting..
How fun and educational her videos are, I love them, Sohyang is a living legend of singing, many music analysts and vocal coaches consider her to be one of the best vocalists in history, even if she doesn't have the fame of other divas, but she is never lacking in those listings and top tens, follow the reactions to queen Sohyang
When I see this reaction, I can't help but subscribe and like. Please show a lot of reactions to Sohyang's songs
holy moly
We all wonder if Sohyang is human or from another planet. Current odds are that she’s from another planet, with an outside chance she’s actually an angel come down from Heaven. 😇 We have never heard anyone sing like her, or be able to hold an audience in the palm of her hand until she lets them go. Her voice is, as one person described it, like liquid gold. Perfection in clarity and pitch, and she doesn’t fade in the upper octaves, which is startling when you hear her hit those 5th and 6th octave notes with such _POWER_ it actually gives everyone goose bumps-and makes us bald guys’ hair stand on end! As she says, her voice “is from God.” She does all the musical arrangements herself, with the input of her in-law family and musical assistants, teaches vocal technique at a South Korean university and speaks five languages: Korean, English, French, Vietnamese and Chinese, as well as reading Greek!
Let me catch my breath. OK.
She is a cancer survivor from uterine cancer at the age of 20, just after getting married, and states very plainly that God saved her life due to the prayers of her church. But this left her without the ability to have children so she decided to dedicate her life to being a Contemporary Christian Gospel singer and has refused recording contracts from the biggest corporations in the world. She only wants to sing for charities, churches and while doing missionary work, to strengthen those suffering through difficult times. David Foster, Josh Groban, Michael Bolton and others have all eagerly worked with her when they were in Asia.
She contracted hepatitis B from a blood transfusion during her cancer surgery and it clings to her to this day. Because of this she is prone to catching pneumonia but has sang perfectly while suffering from it in her live performance of “You Raise Me Up” before Shane Filan of Westlife on South Korean TV: ruclips.net/video/te_L9ofhUt8/видео.html She has asked those who love her singing to pray that God keep pneumonia away from her, she has suffered from it on so many occasions. Imagine how she must feel with this coronavirus floating around everywhere!
She just turned 44 on April 5, 2022, though in Korean culture she would be 45 because you are deemed to be one year old when you are born. She was about 37 when she sang this version of “Arirang Alone”, their unofficial national anthem based on a 600 year old folk song expressing their desire to reunify north and south: vimeo.com/308253527
After being sick with pneumonia eight times from 2016 through to 2020, and considering giving up singing altogether, she decided to enter a televised singing contest called “King of the Masked Singers” in 2017 and won six consecutive times, which has catapulted her into international attention from the performances being posted on RUclips.
Whitney Houston’s former manager saw her on RUclips and showed her to Oprah Winfrey, who brought her to David Foster’s attention. Foster then contacted Sohyang and went to Japan in order to have her perform eight concerts with him at Tokyo’s famous Blue Note Club in late-2018. For those who don't know, David Foster was Whitney Houston's producer for some of her songs, wrote "I Have Nothing", her most iconic song, and is the most famous and influential music producer in the world. He places Sohyang right beside Whitney and the rest of the top tier divas.
Here is the interview where Sohyang related the events: ruclips.net/video/EqeE_1nP-Kk/видео.html (Be sure to turn on English subtitles.)
Here is the version of “I Have Nothing” Oprah, David Foster, Whitney's former manager and the rest watched on RUclips: ruclips.net/video/T4UyIMkdy4M/видео.html
She preceded it with this blockbuster: vimeo.com/312061203
She could be an international Super Star if she wanted to be but has decided that it would ruin her spiritually, quoting Proverbs 14:12 “There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death.”
In a South Korean television interview Sohyang conceded that she struggled with her desire for fame for a number of years, going into the basement in her home numerous times and closing the door so she could complain vehemently to God that He was holding her back from becoming famous due to her health problems and other unforeseeable events. Then she later saw a Korean TV drama where the talented daughter of a very successful businessman was positive she would take over when her father retired. But he left the management of the company to a woman she hated, so she had a fit and lay kicking and screaming on the floor. Sohyang says she saw herself in that young woman and then understood that God was keeping her from developing self-destructive character by withholding international celebrity status from her. ruclips.net/video/rl-jX9kBsEs/видео.html (Again, turn on English subtitles.)
So as a consequence she does not pursue fame or fortune and actually has no social media presence whatsoever.
What can one say about such a person? She is a literal Wonder Woman! And we need about a billion more just like her!
On Oct. 5, 2020, it was revealed that Sohyang turned down _yet another_ contract offer, this time from Sony Music US. www.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20200921000995
“Debuting in [the] US was my utmost goal for the past 20 years. But when I got a call from the US agency, I politely rejected, as I realized that what I wanted most was not becoming famous,” she said.
“I think singers are very susceptible to arrogance, especially when they hear the screaming from crowds on stage. It can make you feel like as if you’ve become God.”
“And I’m perfectly okay with sharing my music via RUclips, which can reach tens of millions of people all over the world without making me feel stuck up. Maybe that’s why I was born in this era.”
Sohyang is just the most amazing singer, Christian and human being. She is beautiful both inside and out, and so humble and genuine, with a stage charisma, facial expressions and smile that is off the charts.
In Korean dictionaries 소향--Sohyang--has several meanings.
• First is a type of Korean traditional music.
• Second is to burn incense on a burner.
• Third is to go toward.
But these meanings are rarely used today. Sohyang is also the name of a heroine in a Korean traditional novel. Yet for the definitive answer Sohyang has stated in an interview that her name means "enjoy the light." Her grandmother named her.
Please analyze her performance of “Bridge Over Troubled Water”: ruclips.net/video/C6iHh4yBxCo/видео.html
Also, please react to her version of “The Power of Love”: ruclips.net/video/LrNkVRrK7_I/видео.html
Plus this beautiful duet with her friend Lee Hi where they do Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons’ “Can’t Take My Eyes Off Of You”: vimeo.com/439148918
And this version of her singing “Oh Holy Night”: vimeo.com/322716334
Here she performs “Lean On Me” before Michael Bolton, who called her a vocal “virtuoso” after her performance: ruclips.net/video/GvsgCllcNPE/видео.html
Wait until you see her duet of David Foster's “The Prayer” with Jeong Ui Geu: ruclips.net/video/rte-q3kunp8/видео.html
Her performance of "Fate" in Korean requires no translation: vimeo.com/198161448
And finally “Will You Be There”: ruclips.net/video/nBdSpexUxik/видео.html
Here’s an English language interview with her that I’m sure you will enjoy: ruclips.net/video/N2u_pmoWxj8/видео.html Her English is perfect when she sings and almost perfect when she is doing interviews.
OK, I’ll stop gushing now.
Well, one more gush. In an interview with a Turkish music producer Sohyang's assistants revealed (a bit to her chagrin, as she is a self-effacing person) that she can hit Eb7 and D7 in practise. However, she never goes above the 6th octave in performances. Since she starts at D3 that is more than a 4 octave range ... so how about them apples???! Here it is: ruclips.net/video/VnPAkryrygQ/видео.html I know, bananas isn’t it?
Oh, I just remembered, she is also a published fantasy novelist and has a theological treatise on the Book of Revelation in print. In addition, she is a very good stage actress, which she proved by playing Julie Andrews’ part in the South Korean production of “The Sound of Music.” Moreover, she sang the “Moana” part in the Korean version of the Disney film, does the musical vocals for many South Korean television dramas, and is a talented artist and cartoonist. She taught herself English by watching Disney's "The Little Mermaid" "about one hundred times" when she was just a kid, speaks English with a _perfect_ North American accent and has an outgoing and bubbly personality.
She can also play the piano and guitar. Is there anything this genius level woman can’t do? Ironically, Sohyang stated in another interview that both she and her in-law family were surprised to discover that she could sing so excellently!
Though she is less than 5' 4" and only about 100 pounds, Sohyang simply transcends the thresholds of music and takes you there with her. She becomes the song when she sings it, and then re-emerges when she is done. An experience like no other. I don’t know what else to say. I’ve spent _entire days_ listening to her, and shed more than a few tears of joy along the way.
I really must also compliment the choir, orchestra and audio/video production people Sohyang works with. They are all top notch from what I can see and hear, and that is important to note as these are _essential_ elements of any great musical production. The Korean people are easily as talented as anyone else.
As you can see, I am a shameless fan. 😉
This is about the most detailed fan-gush (in a good way) I've seen for Sohyang. Love it.
@@dancingfroggies Thank you. I wrote it over the period of about 2 1/2 years, and I will add to it from time to time when I learn something more about Sohyang. What a wonderful person she is! 👌😉💘😎
Next song from Sohyang sing "I have nothing" DMC Festive.
She killed LEAN ON ME live in front of Michael Bolton...K POP artists singing song he's done. She was so good!
Guys you have seen nothing yet, she is amazing and she is not a girl she is in her Forty's. Please react to Arirang Alone. G5 and Bb5 is her signature note. U can also check out her performance of everyone and the masked singer 💞 y'all
Oh, by the way. Sohyang squeezed all of her sessions with Seth Riggs into a short vacation she had in the US back around 2010 or so. She had so few sessions with Seth Riggs, I think three at most, that Sohyang herself condensed what she learned from him into "learning how to hit a note precisely." Other than that Sohyang is a 100% self taught singer, believe it or not. Her IQ must be enormous. 🤷♂
And here is a "before and after" video of this performance. Sohyang is like a kid and so humble. ruclips.net/video/6K8Sl58e9I4/видео.html
Beautiful
so hyang--bridge over troubled water/i have nothing/o holy night/arirang alone/everyone/upon this rock/us national anthem/hero/power of love/let it go/breathe/hug me/amazing grace/i will always love you/misty
So Hyang is probably one of the best to ever hold a microphone 🎤. Please check out her song EVERYONE. It is even better than bridge over troubled water.
sohyang is ‘everyone’ more than good briddge over trouble
Welcome to Sohyang world ❤, she is the best ever in my opinion. Keep going with her..she is an angel, gift from God. Her emotion will touch your soul, that's what separates her from the other great Diva's. So so so many EPIC performances. My suggestions " You Raise Me Up " , Everyone, Arirang Alone, Lean On Me, I Have Nothing, all from Immortal Songs versions. GREAT reaction ❤👍👍. I listen to her everyday. She is also an AMAZING person as well.
AWESOME/FANTASTIC/GREAT reaction to the
8th WONDER OF THE WORLD, So Hyang.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!, for focusing your attention on the entire performance, without any unnecessary pauses.
You have just witnessed a small sample of the flexibility in her voice. Her range is RIDICULOUS and her breath control is INSANE and UNMATCHED. Vocal coaches and opera singers agree, So Hyang's technique is EFFORTLESS and FLAWLESS. Trust and believe, every note is well placed and intentional. So Hyang, along with her husband and some assistants, arranges every aspect of her live performances;. the music, backing vocals, staging, etc. in my never to be humble opinion, So Hyang's song covers, often times, makes the original sound like a demo tape.
So Hyang updates and elevates the song, given it additional shine and polish.
You have just made one of the best investments in time, by reacting to So Hyang.
New subscriber.
우리만 알고있기 아까운 가수
소향은 더 많이 알려져야하고 더 많은 찬사를
받을 자격이 있습니다.
Wow! Yes, Sohyang is in a place by herself.
I've realized these guys love the vocal gymnastics more than anything else.
So hyang *EVERYONE* performance in immortal song 2 is a must to react ! Would love to hear u guys opinion about that performance ☺️ she even state that was her hardest song she ever perform !
I love this reaction... Isn't she amazing !
You need to check out her version of Misty. You will love it
Great reaction!!!
What a pure, light and angelic head voice !!!!
She's amazing! I have no words. I have a followup for you though: LiSA singing "Homura" on First Take, and even a second follow-up: Nightwish doing "Ghost Love Score" at Wacken live in 2013. You should really hear both of these singers as well! Diana Ankudinova singing "Can't Help Falling in Love" too! Completely stunned by all of them.
두분진행 차분하고 멋져여~~♡
Listen to her cover of I Have Nothing. She outWhitneys Whitney. Then her masterpiece performance of Everyone. 7+ minutes of unparalleled vocal perfection.
lol dreaming
Rise me Up if you want more of the Celtic vibe from Sohyang
Please react to Sohyang singing Everyone (she calls it her most challenging performance)
I can't believe I missed this!! So Hyang's artistry is as impeccable as her faith as a Christian!!!
The sisters of 4th Impact are So Hyang fans as am I!! They produced a video as a tribute to the frontliners who put their lives on the line daily during the pandemic of So Hyang's incredible version of this song!!! If you would like to hear it in 4 part harmony you should check it out!!!!
Welcome to Sohyang world 🥰
Love her so! You should hear Ariang Alone. Utterly fantastic 😍
To me, Sohyang is the best female vocalist! Should react to her version of Raise Me Up and Everyone. Definitely will leave you SPEECHLESS!!! Another Korean group you two should put on your top list next is Forestella. Just discovered this amazing group recently and already falling for them. Please react to their cover of Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody for a start. Trust me Forestella is a real gem.
I recommend Sohyang's new song "Sohyang + Petra ‘Freedom’ ".
I recently just came into listening to Sohyang and have heard about her but never knew about the sheer stage performance and presence she brings with that heavenly gift she was bestowed with. She definitely came from humble beginnings growing up and throughout the challenges, held tight to her faith and voice to give back to others through music. This cover song alongside, You Raise Me Up, definitely one of the best live performances I've heard in recent memories. I cannot wait to hear more from her- I should go and explore her music.
Just you wait until you guys hear her hitting the Bb5 like it's nothing.....like she could do it all day.
Yep, in Arirang Alone!
omg i love these cute couple haha thank you guys for reviewing sohyang~
A warm welcome to Sohyang world.
I'm so happy to see your awesome reactions. She is an incredible incredible female singer I've ever seen..
SoHyang said she liked to sing along to Mariah's songs since she was a teenager!
And it influenced her musical tendencies a bit! (just in my opinion)
She is now 44 years old and has struggled with pneumonia quite a long time! Hope to see more SoHyang's videos here.. and new subscriber from S.Korea!
Welcome to Sohyang's world. I'm not sure why people compare her to Mariah as she does not whistle. I would say closer to Barbra and Whitney, but she is her own person. She remains an independent artist and not that well known in the west due to her faith and her health as a cancer survivor.
Some of her other top performances would be:
Arirang Alone from Immortal Songs 2. (IS2)
Everyone (IS2)
I have Nothing (DMC festival)
I Will Always Love You (begin Again Korea) BAK
You raise me Up (IS2) even though she was recovering from pneumonia.
Lean On me (IS2)
Misty (BAK)
Oh Holy Night (I Am A Singer purple dress version)
Due to her health issues you need to know the performances to pick. Bridge over Trouble water is definitely one of her best.
She's amazing
great reaction! next one: Everyone (subtitled version), the most difficult of her songs that she will never sing again.
ruclips.net/video/S9J1k_zmo24/видео.html
I really like your reactions! Sincere and professional and humorous!
She is like a black hole to me. I can't escape from her. The more she gets to know, the more surprises she gets every time. My queen.
Hey guys I forgot to mention in my last comment that you need to know the group Voctave. The most talented group of singers currently performing. You should start out with Disney Princess Medley.
Thank you for the holy golden great cow reaction❤️
This is an amazing
reaction video. 👍
thank you
Welcome to the her world. You must also watch Everyone, and Arirang alone. Please react to these two clips. You won't regret it.
Please react to So Hyang
" Arirang alone"
She's the best...Pls do Arirang Alone next,just as amazing and very unique. You can also do Hug Me (pink dress on DMC Festival), its veeery emotional, with some more intimate singing and some belting. Sweet Dreams my dear is also stunning in its beauty
노래를 부르는 가수가 아닌, 노래의 감정을 전하는 세계적 탑가수입니다. 소향의 노래를 자주 듣다보면은 나도 모르게 음악 수준이 높아지는 경험을 하죠. 한국의 한우를 먹고 나면 자국의 소고기가 맛이 없어지는 느낌처럼~~
Thank you for the good reaction. I'm a RUclipsr, too. I think you are better off using the keyword "Sohyang" than "So Hyang". Then more people will watch your video. I look forward to the next So Hyang reaction.
And there is a group called "Forestella" in South Korea. Listen to their "Bohemian Rhapsody" first. When you listen to their "Bohemian Rhapsody" on your own, listen to the better version of "Immortal song" and if you want to react, listen to the "Open Concert" version because of copyright.
"Listen without prejudice" - from George Michael
Awesome reaction. So Hyang is simply spectacular!
Please react to Sohyang - Everyone. I think it is her BEST performance for many good reasons. Thank you.
Please react to Whitney Houston's "I have nothing" Sohyang version
The best singer since Whitney and Mariah Carey 👍
소향님 노래는 마치 핵을 한발 쐈는데 준비가 안됐고 예상치 못한 순간 맞아서 데미지가 크고 어안이 벙벙한데 그 핵을 장전 시간도 없이 또 연달아 쏘니까 계속 놀라기만 하다가 노래가 끝나요.. 그래서 끝나고 나서 여운이 계속 강하게 남고 이제야 생각을 할 수 있는 상태가 되는 거죠...
Kim, So Hyang (stage name: Sohyang) is a South Korean singer. She's up there with Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, and Celine Dion, according to David Foster, who worked with all of them, plus other big names in the music industry, such as Aretha Franklin, Barbra Streisand, and Michael Jackson. In fact, many vocal coaches and critics call her the Queen, and Dimash the King.
Here are several links for a bunch of excellent performances by Sohyang. Many are from competitions where she pulls out all the stops and goes into vocal beast mode. The last 5 are more restrained. You can alternate between the styles, just to experience the contrasts and see her range of abilities.

BTW, Whitney's former manager saw the DMC Festival video of Sohyang singing "I Have Nothing", and contacted Oprah Winfrey, who in turn, contacted David Foster. They were all amazed. Foster invited her to sing on his tour in Asia. She did 8 shows in 4 days in Tokyo. Foster co-wrote that song. He arranged and produced it for Whitney for her album, and her performance in "The Bodyguard". Foster has won 16 Grammy Awards, including 3 for Producer of the Year, and has been nominated a total of 47 times.
i just loved it!!
*She has so many song and what you heard here is Nothing on what else So Hyang has done.* If you want to see someone surpass Watney's version of - I Have Nothing (See So Hyang do it here) ruclips.net/video/CFtRUSPxcas/видео.html
lol damn,, i was listening to this at my work with one airpod on, so I can look like i'm working... LOL People around me straight up stared at me at the end of the performance. fml.. I didnt expect her to go that all out .... her voice literally broke out of my airpod...
You guys should react to (I'm a singer legend - dream) she wrote and composed that song and it's basically a vocal marathon. I got exhausted watching the video. But she slayed fr
you two are awsome man 😂😂😂
소향 리액션 해주셔서 감사합니다 ㅎㅎㅎㅎ
Sohyang is like a holy being sent to save us because God loves us.
arirang, where are you, and lean on me, etc reaction please. ^^
So-hyang is my favorite vocalist ever, but if you want to hear another AMAZING Korean singer then checkout "Song So-hee, Tearful Duman River." She is a traditional Korean singer who's vocal technique will leave you full of emotion. The referenced song starts with her walking to an area on stage that represents the shore of the river. She takes off her shoes and places them on the river bank. This is simbolic in Asian culture that she is going to end her life there by drowning in the river. The song is about a woman who went to the river to meet her fiancee only to find he was killed as a rebel against the Japanese occupation. The song and her voice will rip out your heart at her anguish over her lost love
그녀의 노래를 들으면 모든 편견과 불신이 사라지는 느낌이다.
Katie looked like she was going to pee half way through that performance. But seriously Sohyang killed it. Her own arrangement, first up performance in the competition - no way to follow that
High belt Queen right there
It was a really great reaction video. I enjoyed watching it.😊
Next Queen SoHyang's recommended song.

When I have time, I will visit you again and request other recommended songs~~
Thank you for loving Queen SoHyang.❤
This was her performance on Immortal Songs 2, a competition show where pros go up against each other and the audience votes for the best performance. If you want to check out longer videos Killing Voice is a series that features one singer/group per video without distracting stage production. And Fantastic Duo was a show where average Koreans could apply to singer with a singer they admired. It's been years since the show aired, but I keep coming back to the clips.
All right then welcome to the world of So Hyang she's going to keep blowing you away here's a short list of things to listen to immediately her cover of I have nothing she actually kicks Whitney Houston's ass in this version she brings it to a higher level also You raise me up cover and hug me from the mask singer, Lean on me, Misty, Everyone she said that this was the most difficult song that she has ever sung this is a masterpiece we'll start there I'll be looking for you and responding to your reactions.
