- Hi there! Welcome to CF Reacts. 👋
=========================
Kim So-hyang, known mononymously as Sohyang, is a South Korean singer-songwriter. According to Sohyang, her goal is to use her voice to comfort people who are going through difficult times. What a fantastic voice!

Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
When you're weary
Feeling small
When tears are in your eyes
I will dry them all
I'm on your side
Oh, when times get rough
And friends just can't be found
[Chorus]
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
[Verse 2]
When you're down and out
When you're on the street
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you
I'll take your part
Oh, when darkness comes
And pain is all around
[Chorus]
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
=========================
You haven’t seen nothing yet!!! Keep checking her out and you’ll be surprised how easy you’d be wrong about anything you thought about music and singing up to this point in your life. ❤❤❤
If you want to react to her singing in korean I think Arirang Alone is perfect for that. Again she did her own version but it is my absolute favourite cover from her. Here's the link:
ruclips.net/video/zFyndK9VOCk/видео.htmlsi=mE6M8Js2zcV7O06F
She also has her own music, I recommend this song:
ruclips.net/video/xmdD2hmYXAs/видео.htmlsi=FdyreWZAnus8wkCy
Sohyang is not well known in the west because she is an independent artist by choice, due to her faith and her health. She has turned down Sony and all large labels. She does have many fans outside of Korea but not nearly as many as she should. She is arguable one of the worlds best female vocalist alive now.
Sohyang is a cancer survivor who has battled many years with pneumonia. She is a gospel singer but sings other genres as well.
All of these contest songs are arranged by her with her team.
if you would like a Korean song I would recommend "Arirang Alone" on Immortal Songs 2 (IS2)
Or "Everyone" which is a Korean/English gospel song also on IS2
Immortal songs 2 is a long running celebrity singing contest. Well known artists are invited on and the audience votes, Sohyang won this one. Each show has a theme and this one was 'English pop songs' so they probably drew a younger crowd. The time she sang Arirang Alone, the theme was 'traditional music', and you will notice an older audience on that one.
Sohyang has covers and originals. She has been singing for about 25 years now and has a wealth of content.
Welcome to The Forces of Heaven from Sohyang 🎉😅
Thanks from Perú 😊
Glad you have discovered Sohyang…she is deeply rooted in Christian gospel..as you noted in this performance…hope you dive in for more of her…enjoying your content..just the right amount of analysis mixed with reaction☺️
So happy to hear you liked the video ✨
@@CFEntertainsgreat reaction to a magnificent artist and yes by now you’ll have been made aware that Sohyang is known globally. 😊 Forestella moved to Beat Interactive since August 2021, but i’d still be interested in your thoughts.. i suggest Bad Romance, DESPACITO, EXO’s MAMA, SHAPE OF YOU, Time In A Bottle (6min)…LEGENDS NEVER DIE or maybe CHAMPIONS.. originals = Save our Lives ,UTOPIA, WHITE NIGHT, KOOL, SNOW GLOBE, FOR LIFE, just to name a few.
@@CFEntertainsyes, so glad you finally reacted to So Hyang. Now may want to check out Forestella (quartet) as they are the best group at harmonies!
Hi Iris, you know me.. but happy this was suggested.. I'm all over the place but love you Iris ❤️❤️
Welcome to Sohyang's world.
This is the first time you've heard SoHyang?
Dude. Where have you been?
Under a rock apparently😵💫
@@CFEntertains We have all questioned our lives up to the point we heard Sohyang sing. "Where was I? Under a rock???" "Where have you been all of my life Sohyang? I have never even known anyone could sing like that!!!" CF, we know where you are coming from, LOL!
@@CFEntertains Did you catch the flourish at the very end? The fist pump and the little leg kick? She ended several of her performances with a flourish.
You have just discover one of the best music rabbit hole ever....... Sohyang's voice!!!!! 🐇🎧😎
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 four languages: Korean, English, Vietnamese and Chinese, as well as reading French and 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 46 on April 5, 2024, though in Korean culture she would be 47 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
While 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 16:25 “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 interactive 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! And whether Sohyang likes it or not, fame has found her, run her over and then backed up and run over her again!
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 stage 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 maybe 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 SUCH a comprehensive fan bio for a new fan to read. Thank you for sharing!
@@elliehart-2point0 You are welcome. I have never been a diva fan, but rather love rock and blues guitar. Imagine my shock when I first stumbled over this same Sohyang performance in 2019! I had never heard such a voice or seen such a performer, and I still haven't to this day! Plus the fact that she is so beautiful and her face so expressive of what she sings sealed the deal for me. She is, IMHO, the greatest female singer and performer of our era. Just wait until you see the performances I linked for you, and there are many others. Sohyang just oozes super star talent out of every pore! 💖💖💖
Thank you so much for this phenomenal comment - I LOVE when people share their passion for stuff !
@@CFEntertains It is not hard, believe me, when it is Sohyang a person is commenting on. She is a wonderful woman who spends her life doing good for people who need help, with numerous charity concerts to raise money for the needy every year. And many performances for churches and other organizations that reach out to their community that require help. She has been to around 60 countries around the world to sing for missionary outreach programs with their family Gospel band called POS, which is Greek for "light," and pronounced FOS. Yes, we all love Sohyang with a passion! 💖💖💖
Sorry this is WAY TOO MUCH information. You can still be passionate and also be less. Thanks though 👍🏽
Thank you so much for awesome reaction to SoHyang😊
Thank you so much for the super chat ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Her voice, a crystalline cascade, carries us through realms of dreams and lore..!!
My fav of hers is a Korean folk song called "Arirang Alone".
She is one of a kind. That was a perfect G5 to end the song. She may be the highest belter in the world. I have never heard anyone with more overall vocal tools than So Hyang. Her recent original song 'Higher', acoustic version (no real belting), is terrific and completely different. Her cover of 'I Have Nothing' at the DMC Festival is unparalleled. Thanks for the reaction.
So hyang queen .angel
South korean ccm singer
World best amazing singer.
Sohyang- everyone (eng subtitles version)
Great reaction. I may even watch this reaction again later. Keep Sohyang reaction coming. She is a phenomenal singer. Thanks
THANK YOU!!, for your ENTHUSIASTIC/FANTASTIC/AWESOME reaction to the PHENOMENAL So Hyang.
Trust and believe, yiy just witnessed a very small sample of the flexibility in her voice. Her vocal range is RIDICULOUS, and her breath control is INSANE. This event was in 2015 when So Hyang was 37 years old. She turned 46 two weeks ago. Not only is she aging in reverse, but in 2024, she sounds better than ever, if that's even possible.
So Hyang, her husband, along with some assistants, arrange every aspect of her live performances; the music, backing vocals, staging, lighting, etc.
So Hyang sings and SLAYS EVERY genre from ROCK TO RAP (Yes, So Hyang is a BADASS RAPPER). Check out 'Day Day', from Begin Again Korea, in 2020. She is spitting bars like she's been doing it all her life.
New subscriber.
the incredible world class sohyang love from the uk
React to Sohyang - Arirang Alone, please ❤
Welcome to one of the best singers on the planet!
So Hyang is a devout Christian and gospel singer from South Korea. In her early 20's and newly married, she was diagnosed with early stage uterine cancer, which left her unable to have children. Upon being healed by God and the doctors, So Hyang's goal has been to use her voice to bring comfort to people who are experiencing difficult times. She IS NOT motivated by either money or fame. She continues to reject numerous offers from major record labels. In addition to being a published author of several fiction books, she lectures about song and vocal technique at a South Korean university.
You have just made one of the BEST investments in time.
She is my favorite female vocalist. I am a senior from USA and have always been a music
lover. SHE CAN sing all genres. Love "Everyone" and "Lean on Me". She has been offered
many contracts. She writes books and music.
She is the best female vocalist in this world. She is next level.

Hey CF, welcome to the world of Sohyang. It is a place that is this thrilling from performance to performance, so get ready. Sohyang (poor English pronunciation by Americans is 'so yong') is a virtuoso and musical genius. She began singing Gospel music in church. She learned to speak American English watching the Disney Channel and Pop music by listening to American singing stars. She has had no formal training except for a brief time with a vocal coach in the Nineties. She does her own musical arrangements for live stage appearances including the musical adaptation, the chorus and orchestra, the staging and lighting, and costumes. She speaks three languages, Korean, English, and French. She is also an author, and lectures on Music and Voice at University. There is more, but this could become a book.
My suggestion for next? ruclips.net/video/T4UyIMkdy4M/видео.html "I Have Nothing" [I Am a Singer Legend].
Cheers.
Thank you for the info - Excited to go more in depth!
@@CFEntertains Welcome.
Just a little correction. She learned to speak English by watching Disney movies, specifically The Little Mermaid. Not Disney Channel
@@liamcuerquis9631 WOW! That's a distinction that needs to be pointed out. My bad! Is there a published Sohyang biography in print or online that I need to buy? Just one movie is all she needed to learn English? You did say movie(s).
@@daveg.6820 she has mentioned in interviews and I’m pretty sure she has watched more than one Disney movie
very very good~~~~~
She is the best female vocalist in this world.

I don't know about anyone else but her singing gave me goosebumps.
First time i heard this version i cried from 10pm to 3am nonstop 😊
This one is the perfect gateway song to Sohyang. Wait until you see her in beast mode 😘
This is my 500th time listening and still get goose bumps.
if you don't get goosebumbs when you hear her sing then i'd say something's wrong!
You have just witnessed vocal perfection !!!!!! OUR QUEEN !!!!!!!!!!
소향님 리액션 감사합니다^^
Love your enthusiastic informed reaction! Please react to Sohyang singing the jazz classic Misty (Begin Again performance), If I Aint Got You, Everyone (gospel), I Have Nothing and I Will Always Love You (Begin Again performance). She rocks out with the song Mona Lisa in a King of Masked singer television performance. Then check out her effortless performance of Adele's Easy On Me outdoors from last year after she turned 45 years young -> ruclips.net/video/sxaV21Si0s0/видео.htmlsi=ouzQLZfCCBcQJGKV A song she wrote herself and performs live is Stay and recently she released her own songs: Exodus, Higher, and Stand Up. An early gem is her singing Michael Jackson's Will You Be There in 2010 -- react to that too please 🙏 Imo she is the best int he world because of her feel / heart that informs her amazing vocal talents.
😁😁😁😁😁😁
인간이 낼수 없는 범위를 초월한 믹스보이스의 여왕
여러번의 변조로 곡을 절정까지 끌어 올리는 변조의 여왕
소향입니다 그녀는 50여가지의 음악을 한다고 합니다
그래서 노래마다 다른 시도를 하다보니 항상 새롭습니다
당신은 이제 한곡을 들었을뿐
아직 들어야 할곡들이 많습니다
그녀의 노래에 반응해주셔서 감사합니다 ^^
Perfect!!❤
김소향 (Kim, So-hyang) is a South Korean singer who uses 소향 (Sohyang) as her stage name. She's up there with Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, and Céline 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, Stevie Wonder, and Michael Jackson. In fact, many vocal coaches and critics call her the Queen, and Dimash the King.
Here are several links to 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. All are live, except for a music video of "Never Enough" (since we can never get enough of Sohyang).

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 Sohyang to sing on his tour in Asia. She did 8 shows in 4 days in Tokyo. He and his ex-wife wrote that song. He co-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.
---
Her full name is "김소향 (Kim, So-hyang)", but she leaves out her surname in her stage name, "소향 (Sohyang)". Here's the breakdown of the Hangul symbols in her full name:
김소향 (Kim, So-hyang)
김 = ㄱ ㅣ ㅁ (k i m)
소 = ㅅ ㅗ (s o)
향 = ㅎ ㅑ ㅇ (h ya ng)
Google Translate in Detect Language mode pronounces them decently. However, the proper pronunciation of her stage name can be heard before the start of her Immortal Songs 2 performance of "Bridge Over Troubled Water", when the host introduces her as "SOH hee-yahng". The "hee" part is very quick and subtle, almost like a puff of air after the "h" sound carried over from the stressed "SOH" syllable. Note that the "ahng" sound uses the first and last phonemes (syllable components) of "awe" and "song", respectively; it isn't "uhng" or "ohng" as too many non-Korean folks claim.
💖
Morissette followed by Sohyang? Super!
Could you do Faouzia next?
She has her original songs, too.
Dream(kor) - you are going to be surprised by her vocal ability.

Her song is all made, composed by Sohyang and her band. She is a singer song writer and often arranges songs by herself.
I like your humble and genuine reaction a lot.
I like her live performances starting in 2014.
So I would like to share some links to the performances of Sohyang.
It makes a lot of difference whether you understand the lyrics or not when it comes to the Korean songs she sang. vimeo versions offer English subtitles.
Hope you enjoy them.

😍😍😍😍😍😍💕💕💕
I recommend Sohyang's songs.
#1. You raised me up
#2. Lean on me
#3. I have nothing
#4. Dream (꿈)
#5. Arirang Alone (홀로 아리랑)
#6. Monarisa (모나리자)
#7. 그대는 어디에 (Where are you)
Aloha, that is the same thought that I had in my head to about So Hyang! All he body language shows how passionate is about what she sings and not doing things to show off! She does things with grace and kindness and respect! Mahalo for your thoughts on how she performs! You are the first one that noticed her manner of performance! Much love from Hawaii!
Fantastic reaction to Sohyang, I really enjoyed
Welcome to the world of Sohyang where there's lots and lots for you to discover! You need to check out Dreams, Everyone, I Have Nothing, Mona Lisa,Upon This Rock just to name a few...but those songs will blow your mind trust me!! In Arriang Alone she sings in Korean only in Dreams, Everyone and Mona Lisa she sings in Korean and English.
소향 리액션 감사합니다.❤
Her birthday is, April 6th 1978. She's 46 and still very beautiful.
If you will do 'You raise me up' by Sohyang, I will follow you immidiatly! she is such a gorgous singer
Arirang Alone is a great Korean song and she does reach an A5 without a whistle tone. She has amazing range. This definitely displays her range..
She sing for 20+ years bro so she sure got her beat
You should also hear Ystefani Oliveira from Brazil. She has a very beautiful voice and amazing vibrato. You will not be disappointed.
Plus she's very beautiful with hair to her waste. It doesn't matter what song you choose, in Portuguese and English.
She used to sing in a church
She is a Korean gospel singer.
Sohyang's Arirang Alone is her version of traditional Korean song that has apparently hundreds if not thousands versions.. Even BTS have sung their interpretation of it. :)
She's literally an angel. Not just her voice but her personality too.
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/ if i ain't got you
Please check out So Hyang Lean on me. She arranged songs by herself
Great reaction! I think her English singing is very easy to understand and her accent is minimal. I haven’t heard her speak English, but Americans are more likely to click away from accented speaking than singing. You asked for an original song: “Everyone.” It’s in English and Korean, so please react to one with subtitles. You also wanted a Korean song: “Arirang Alone” from Immortal Songs 2. Be sure to filter her videos from now on! I hope you return to her. Thank you.
One of a kind and you have seen nothing yet. She is incredible. She has turned down major record deals as she prefers to choose how she uses her voice. She is Christian and believes her voice is meant to heal. She can and does sing everything. Check out her performances on the King of Masked Singer. She won all six performances. Her version of the song Home and Breathe are stunning. Check out her version of You Raise Me Up from this same show. She arranges all her performances.
I have nothing . Plz
