Sohyang renders international voice coaches speechless. She’s the gold standard of excellence. If you want to see Sohyang’s ❤️ on full display ... react to her most difficult emotional song, ‘Everyone’ 🙏🏼
So Hyang can make a statue cry! I must have cried the first dozen times I watched this performance, and it made my right side ache! Maybe the Chinese are right and the seat of our human emotions is the liver and not the heart. Ha-ha! I feel so blessed for discovering her back in 2019. Here's a biography of her with my suggestions for you to react to. ************************** We all wonder if So Hyang 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. She does all the musical arrangements herself (with the input of her musical assistants), teaches vocal technique at a South Korean university and speaks four languages. Korean, English, French and Vietnamese. 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. She also says her voice is “from God.” David Foster, Josh Groban, Michael Bolton and others have all travelled to Asia to work with her. 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 42 on April 5, though in Korean culture she would be 43 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 much of the time 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 fame 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 So Hyang and went to Japan in order to perform eight concerts together at Tokyo’s famous Blue Note Club in late-2018. Here is the interview where So Hyang 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 and the rest watched on RUclips: ruclips.net/video/T4UyIMkdy4M/видео.html 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 So Hyang 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. So Hyang says she saw herself in that young woman and then understood that God was keeping her from developing self-destructive character by withholding 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 So Hyang turned down yet another contract offer, this time from Sony Music. 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.” So Hyang is just the most amazing singer, Christian and human being. She is beautiful both inside and out, and so humble, with a stage charisma and smile that is off the charts. In Korean dictionaries 소향 (So Hyang) 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. 소향 is also the name of a heroine in a Korean traditional novel. So her name is well chosen! 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 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 So Hyang revealed 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 Oh, I just remembered, she is also a published novelist and theological treatist, and 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 can also play the piano and guitar. Is there anything this genius level woman can’t do? I really must also compliment the choir, orchestra and audio/video production people So Hyang uses. They are all top notch from what I can see and hear. The Korean people are easily as talented as anyone else. As you can see, I am a shameless fan.
This was the first video I saw of SoHyang a couple of years back. I was thinking wow she's like an angel with her feathery sweet voice and then... Wham~ she hit me with a sledgehammer and I was knocked out completely. You're not alone in being emotionally shocked by this clip.
Thank you for sharing your feelings from listening to Sohyang. As an avid follower of Sohyang, it delights me to see other experience Sohyang's magic and find pure joy in listening to her. This is such an iconic performance that has brought many tears (including my own). Yet these are not tears of sadness, disappointment, or depression. These tears represent empathy, relief, or even comfort. All the vocal skills are but an instrument. Sohyang shows us the purpose of music with her instruments. This is such a exemplary case study. Wonderful reaction. See you next time.
Most reactors react to Sohyang's performances in Immortal Song 2 and were blown away. My favourites are from King of Mask Singer and not from Immortal Song 2. Not many reactors react to that series. The absolute gems are Dear Love (my personal favourite), Breathe, Mona Lisa (rock song), Home and Hug Me. If you ever react to King of Mask Singer, please use vimeo with English subtitles rather than RUclips. This also goes for the song Where Are You from I Am A Singer 2, where Sohyang cried offstage after her performance (she deemed that she was lacking).
Kim So Hyang's vocal type is a Full Lyric Soprano. Her showcased vocal range spans from D3 to A6 (consistent supported range from G♯3 to E6),a total of three octaves, three notes and a semitone. According to So Hyang, the highest note she can sing is an E♭7. This means that she has an overall range of approximately four octaves and one semitone. However, this range hasn't been showcased to its fullest extent yet, as the highest note she has publicly showcased is A6. Her belting range/mixed voice extends up to a Soprano C♯ (C♯6). She is known for her emotive and powerful vocals and meticulous control. Her vocals have been praised by various vocal coaches and singers like Seth Riggs and Michael Bolton and Shane Filan (and That List Grows each Day)
You should hear "you raise me up". Pretty much life changing. And she was just out of the hospital and was told not to sing. And that video is what we got!!
Jez:-)) your reaction is almost exactly mine, a little over 7 years ago now! I had tears in my eyes, and was so excited to tell/ show someone, what I had discovered! You did a Fantastic reaction Video here! I am almost 68 years old now and have seen many great singers/ performers over the years! SoHyang is right up there with the Whitney’s, Celine’s and Mariah’s ( all SoHyang’s favourites by the way) as far as natural ability and technique goes! Where she might beat them is how she is able to make you Feel, her Conveyance of the emotion in a song is Amazing!!! Can you imagine being there listening to her, Live!!!! No singer has been able to make me feel the way she does, year after year:-)) This is one of many , PERFECT PERFORMANCES, she has done. Along with, Arriang Alone, Everyone, Don’t Forget Me, Hug Me, Where Are You and maybe Fate! Those along with 20 other Gems! My Dream is to see her Live! To think this Woman was not a very good singer early in her career! I have notice Improvement in her vocals in every year she has sung! I also prefer her singing in her native , Korean ! Yet her English diction is very good, she is not comfortable talking English in her personal life! She also speaks French and one of the dialects of Chinese! Oh yeah and has written several successful Fantasy Novels and does some teaching in her Home Town University and has sung in many churches in around 60 countries( she is a Gospel Singer but she has sung everything except maybe County, even Rap( a song called, Day Day?light Rock, Mona Lisa, Heavier Rock, It’s Only My World, Arriang Alone is one of Korea’s Folk songs( it’s over 600 years old), Jazz ,Misty, also one of her own songs, has some elements of Jazz is Dream, Pop, many, If I Ain’t Got You, Gospel, this song, Everyone, on This Rock and many many more! !

Performance totally for consolation. Beautiful.. and her ability for singing ? Speechless beyond my description.👍 Thanks.💖 and hope you listen to her more.😁

L.O.V.E SOHYANG! and let's enjoy her nice songs together~~!^^
Great Reaction to the Queen! Yes, she is the best in singing with so much emotion to soothe us with her angelic voice instrument through these strange & surreal times. She is the best in storytelling singing...Look at her face and hand gestures! If it made you feel happy & at peace, then she conveyed her message to you! And also I agree below, her masterpiece is "Everyone" but you definitely need to get the english lyrics with it(vimeo version).... Waiting for more of your awesome reviews!! BTW, you have beautiful eyes! Stay Safe!! PS: I wish I could write as good as her fans comments below...
Always remember Sohyang is a Pastor/Music Minister first. That's where she gets her extra something. Check out her Religious/Charity stuff on my organized Playlist. 🎤🤷🏽♀️😇
Great Reaction...I love your reactions...so honest, and On Point....Thanks She writes ALL her arrangements and Instructs the Band what she wants...& Her Backup singer go with her so they know
Here are two female Korean singers of very high note. One is So Hyang(D3-C#6-A6-Eb7. Soul, R&B, Jazz, CCM, Pretty Voice, Resonance, Delivery, Delicate, Ethereal, Stunning, Eyes-watering, Out of This World. She overcome cancer and pneumonia. Lirico Soprano. Amazing points are below.). The other is Park Kiyoung(F6. Rock, Cross-over, World No.1 youtube views of Nella Fantasia). 1. So Hyang 1) Bridge over troubled water ruclips.net/video/C6iHh4yBxCo/видео.html 2) You raise me up (She struggled against pneumonia and phlegm which is fatal to a singer, and was told not to say even a word by a doctor. But she turned a deaf ear to this advice and by a miracle suceeded in this stage in the middle of an IV. But after this performance, she dread this disease(only singers can know), became lethargic and was rarely seen in public for about 2 years.

Whenever So Hyang sings this song, she mostly cries. So I guess, in my opinion, this song can be a dialogue between a human and God. I heard she was upset that she had pneumonia and lost her voice.

Beautiful reaction, would you do a comparison to Elvis the king of rock and roll version of bridge over troubled water from his 1970 performance in Vegas live. I promise you will love it and I would love your opinion
I think that So Hyang is not a humanbeing.... she must be an angel who has got a mission from God to purify our polluted spirits with her holy singing voice. If you don't mind, may I ask you to react her other performances such as "I have nothing." , "Everyone" and a Korean lyric song called "Breathe"? If you are able to find the video with english subtitles for "Breathe" , I'm sure that you will be much more moved.
Hi Jez, really enjoyed your reaction to Sohuang! I was wondering if you were familiar with the Mexican group Camila as they are my favorite Spanish group. Love to see you react to them, I'll check your Spanish channel.
Hola MI aniga, you're now well known here in the Philippines, for giving good reactions to our singers.... Now, I would like to request that you'll also give reactions at our legendary singer, who is also called Asia's Queen of Songs! Please react Spanish Bolero, by PILITA CORRALES., THANK YOU
What a great reaction Jez. But you just have to hear her sing I have nothing that Whitney Houston sings. And it needs to be this one I’m sending you, don’t think it will ever be sung better. ruclips.net/video/CFtRUSPxcas/видео.html Love your reactions, I love you too :-) please do a reaction to it girl
Many vocal coaches use her videos to teach their students how perfect technique is done.
Sohyang renders international voice coaches speechless. She’s the gold standard of excellence. If you want to see Sohyang’s ❤️ on full display ... react to her most difficult emotional song, ‘Everyone’ 🙏🏼
So Hyang can make a statue cry! I must have cried the first dozen times I watched this performance, and it made my right side ache! Maybe the Chinese are right and the seat of our human emotions is the liver and not the heart. Ha-ha! I feel so blessed for discovering her back in 2019. Here's a biography of her with my suggestions for you to react to.

We all wonder if So Hyang 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. She does all the musical arrangements herself (with the input of her musical assistants), teaches vocal technique at a South Korean university and speaks four languages. Korean, English, French and Vietnamese.
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. She also says her voice is “from God.” David Foster, Josh Groban, Michael Bolton and others have all travelled to Asia to work with her.
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 42 on April 5, though in Korean culture she would be 43 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 much of the time 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 fame 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 So Hyang and went to Japan in order to perform eight concerts together at Tokyo’s famous Blue Note Club in late-2018. Here is the interview where So Hyang 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 and the rest watched on RUclips: ruclips.net/video/T4UyIMkdy4M/видео.html
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 So Hyang 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. So Hyang says she saw herself in that young woman and then understood that God was keeping her from developing self-destructive character by withholding 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 So Hyang turned down yet another contract offer, this time from Sony Music. 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.”
So Hyang is just the most amazing singer, Christian and human being. She is beautiful both inside and out, and so humble, with a stage charisma and smile that is off the charts.
In Korean dictionaries 소향 (So Hyang) 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. 소향 is also the name of a heroine in a Korean traditional novel. So her name is well chosen!

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 So Hyang revealed 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
Oh, I just remembered, she is also a published novelist and theological treatist, and 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 can also play the piano and guitar. Is there anything this genius level woman can’t do?
I really must also compliment the choir, orchestra and audio/video production people So Hyang uses. They are all top notch from what I can see and hear. The Korean people are easily as talented as anyone else.
As you can see, I am a shameless fan.
every time I listen to Kim, So Hyang I end up in tears
This was the first video I saw of SoHyang a couple of years back.
I was thinking wow she's like an angel with her feathery sweet voice and then...
Wham~ she hit me with a sledgehammer and I was knocked out completely.
You're not alone in being emotionally shocked by this clip.
Thank you for sharing your feelings from listening to Sohyang. As an avid follower of Sohyang, it delights me to see other experience Sohyang's magic and find pure joy in listening to her. This is such an iconic performance that has brought many tears (including my own). Yet these are not tears of sadness, disappointment, or depression. These tears represent empathy, relief, or even comfort. All the vocal skills are but an instrument. Sohyang shows us the purpose of music with her instruments. This is such a exemplary case study.
Wonderful reaction. See you next time.
In the flower garden.. Beatiful head voice of the Queen So Hyang.
Thanks for sharing
Mission complete. Sohyang's true heart has reached out to the deserving beautiful soul. Thank you for sharing your heartfelt reaction.

SoHyang - I have nothing
I suggest Sohyang - you raise me up
And sohyang - everyone
😍😍💕
Most reactors react to Sohyang's performances in Immortal Song 2 and were blown away.
My favourites are from King of Mask Singer and not from Immortal Song 2. Not many reactors react to that series. The absolute gems are Dear Love (my personal favourite), Breathe, Mona Lisa (rock song), Home and Hug Me.
If you ever react to King of Mask Singer, please use vimeo with English subtitles rather than RUclips. This also goes for the song Where Are You from I Am A Singer 2, where Sohyang cried offstage after her performance (she deemed that she was lacking).
Kim So Hyang's vocal type is a Full Lyric Soprano. Her showcased vocal range spans
from D3 to A6 (consistent supported range from G♯3 to E6),a total of three octaves,
three notes and a semitone. According to So Hyang, the highest note she can sing is
an E♭7. This means that she has an overall range of approximately four octaves and
one semitone. However, this range hasn't been showcased to its fullest extent yet,
as the highest note she has publicly showcased is A6. Her belting range/mixed voice
extends up to a Soprano C♯ (C♯6). She is known for her emotive and powerful vocals
and meticulous control. Her vocals have been praised by various vocal coaches and
singers like Seth Riggs and Michael Bolton and Shane Filan (and That List Grows each Day)
Im still crying.
I really really want to hear her live song.
Thank you for sharing your reaction fo Sohyang.
There is no one in the world who has not cried after listening to the song Sohyang.!
Sohyang's All Songs Will Save You!!
You should hear "you raise me up". Pretty much life changing. And she was just out of the hospital and was told not to sing. And that video is what we got!!
Perfect reation. I really enjoy the ride reactors take when watching this video. Whats great is you'll feel the same after the 100th time listening.
You look so butiful 😍
Jez:-)) your reaction is almost exactly mine, a little over 7 years ago now! I had tears in my eyes, and was so excited to tell/ show someone, what I had discovered! You did a Fantastic reaction Video here! I am almost 68 years old now and have seen many great singers/ performers over the years! SoHyang is right up there with the Whitney’s, Celine’s and Mariah’s ( all SoHyang’s favourites by the way) as far as natural ability and technique goes! Where she might beat them is how she is able to make you Feel, her Conveyance of the emotion in a song is Amazing!!! Can you imagine being there listening to her, Live!!!! No singer has been able to make me feel the way she does, year after year:-)) This is one of many , PERFECT PERFORMANCES, she has done. Along with, Arriang Alone, Everyone, Don’t Forget Me, Hug Me, Where Are You and maybe Fate! Those along with 20 other Gems! My Dream is to see her Live! To think this Woman was not a very good singer early in her career! I have notice Improvement in her vocals in every year she has sung! I also prefer her singing in her native , Korean ! Yet her English diction is very good, she is not comfortable talking English in her personal life! She also speaks French and one of the dialects of Chinese! Oh yeah and has written several successful Fantasy Novels and does some teaching in her Home Town University and has sung in many churches in around 60 countries( she is a Gospel Singer but she has sung everything except maybe County, even Rap( a song called, Day Day?light Rock, Mona Lisa, Heavier Rock, It’s Only My World, Arriang Alone is one of Korea’s Folk songs( it’s over 600 years old), Jazz ,Misty, also one of her own songs, has some elements of Jazz is Dream, Pop, many, If I Ain’t Got You, Gospel, this song, Everyone, on This Rock and many many more!
!

Beautiful song and i love ur reaction
Great Reaction to the Queen! Yes, she is the best in singing with so much emotion to soothe us with her angelic voice instrument through these strange & surreal times. She is the best in storytelling singing...Look at her face and hand gestures! If it made you feel happy & at peace, then she conveyed her message to you! And also I agree below, her masterpiece is "Everyone" but you definitely need to get the english lyrics with it(vimeo version).... Waiting for more of your awesome reviews!! BTW, you have beautiful eyes! Stay Safe!! PS: I wish I could write as good as her fans comments below...
Ty Jez ... sweet reaction 2 ✨SoHyang (I feel ya)! Cya soon ;-) 🤍tica 🇺🇸
Don't be sorry. We know she has that effect on people. 😊 She scrambles people's brains, and then tugs on their hearts, and we 💖her for that.
Jez 👍👌💞💞
Always remember Sohyang is a Pastor/Music Minister first. That's where she gets her extra something. Check out her Religious/Charity stuff on my organized Playlist. 🎤🤷🏽♀️😇

한국인은 독창작인 사람입니다.이번 팬데믹으로 인해 서로 함께 합시다..
Here are two female Korean singers of very high note. One is So Hyang(D3-C#6-A6-Eb7. Soul, R&B, Jazz, CCM, Pretty Voice, Resonance, Delivery, Delicate, Ethereal, Stunning, Eyes-watering, Out of This World. She overcome cancer and pneumonia. Lirico Soprano. Amazing points are below.).
The other is Park Kiyoung(F6. Rock, Cross-over, World No.1 youtube views of Nella Fantasia).
1. So Hyang
1) Bridge over troubled water
ruclips.net/video/C6iHh4yBxCo/видео.html
2) You raise me up
(She struggled against pneumonia and phlegm which is fatal to a singer, and was told not to say even a word by a doctor. But she turned a deaf ear to this advice and by a miracle suceeded in this stage in the middle of an IV. But after this performance, she dread this disease(only singers can know), became lethargic and was rarely seen in public for about 2 years. One day she saw and was inspired by the words of Roosevelt, "There is nothing to fear but fear itself." Then she returned.)
ruclips.net/video/te_L9ofhUt8/видео.html
3) I have nothing

7) Misty (Jazz)
ruclips.net/video/CU8AKUBM9BQ/видео.html
ruclips.net/video/5oBdTq0S_LU/видео.html
8) Hug me
-> This song is a dialogue between lovers. Whenever So Hyang sings this song, she mostly cries. So I guess, in my opinion, this song can be a dialogue between a human and God. I heard she was upset that she had pneumonia and lost her voice. While she struggled against pneumonia, she sang this song.
(1)(She was sitting because she was sick.)

월드클래스 소향!!!
Beautiful reaction, would you do a comparison to Elvis the king of rock and roll version of bridge over troubled water from his 1970 performance in Vegas live. I promise you will love it and I would love your opinion
wow
I think that So Hyang is not a humanbeing.... she must be an angel who has got a mission from God to purify our polluted spirits with her holy singing voice.
If you don't mind, may I ask you to react her other performances such as "I have nothing." , "Everyone" and a Korean lyric song called "Breathe"?
If you are able to find the video with english subtitles for "Breathe" , I'm sure that you will be much more moved.
ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 중독됨
🧡🧡🧡
이분 사파이어 눈빛 너무 매력적이네
Hi Jez, really enjoyed your reaction to Sohuang! I was wondering if you were familiar with the Mexican group Camila as they are my favorite Spanish group. Love to see you react to them, I'll check your Spanish channel.
If you recommend another song, it is a family photo sung by Kim Jinho in Korea. With English subtitles.
ㅠㅠ
💜🧡
😂😂😂😂😂
Hola MI aniga, you're now well known here in the Philippines, for giving good reactions to our singers.... Now, I would like to request that you'll also give reactions at our legendary singer, who is also called Asia's Queen of Songs! Please react Spanish Bolero, by PILITA CORRALES., THANK YOU
all Sohyang videos should come with a warning...... other artists may appear smaller
