Fabulous, I am obsessed with this group. thanks for the reaction, it doesn't matter what genres or language (English, Korean, Italian, Spanish, French, Zulu and Russian) they are brillant. They spend 300 out of 365 days rehearsing together to get their perfect sounds. Koo Woorim is in 18 months miltary service till May 2025 but other 3 members busy as a trio and individual concerts as well. look forward to many more reactions.
To make things simple, I'll just post my comment from Patreon here. Each of the members has a great voice, but their harmony when they sing together is outstanding. Their group name is a mixture of "forest" and the Latin/Italian word "stella", which means star. So Forestella means a forest of stars. Their names from left to right in this video: Ko Woorim (classically trained basso profundo), Kang Hyungho (countertenor and rock voice, no official vocal training), Cho Mingyu (classically trained tenor and leader of the group), Bae Doohoon (musical actor). As you said, they were formed on the show "Phantom Singer". The aim of this show is to form a quartet. The candidates start as solo artists, then form duos, trios and finally quartets. Forestella is the winner of season 2. This performance was not from Phantom Singer, but from "Immortal Songs 2" (another very popular competition in Korea). They sing all kinds of genres like pop, folk, rock, soundtracks etc. E.g. for rock songs you could check out "Lazenca, Save us" (a theme song of a Korean anime series), their cover of Imagine Dragons' "Warriors" or their Queen covers (Bohemian Rhapsody, We will rock you, We are the champions, The show must go on). For very emotional performances I recommend "Je suis malade" or "If I leave" (I can send you links with English subs). Forestella sing in many languages: Korean, English, French, Spanish, Italian, Russian etc. The guys also have their own songs like "Save our Lives" (1st part of a trilogy; the music video is a cinematic masterpiece), "Utopia" (Queen vibes, 2nd part of the trilogy) or "White Night" (simply gorgeous). The roots of the song "Scarborough Fair" go back to the 16th or 17th century. Simon & Garfunkel revived it. I hope to see more Forestella reactions on your channel. 🙂
I always want to say thank you sir, since the beginning I love forestella you always recommend forestella to a new reactor, I finally can say thank you sir❤
Yep, my fav vocal group.Pls do Hijo de La Luna next by Forestella. Keep reacting to songs with all 4 members, I think one is away atm for military service
Good day. Thank you for your reaction. Glad you were introduced to them. In my opinion, they are one of the most underrated artists today. I find them superb. To help with learning the names they are almost always lined up from left to right on the screen Ko Woorim (operatic bass), Kang Hyung Ho (countertenor / tenor), Cho Mingyu (tenor) and Bae Doohoon (baritone /tenor). There are videos on RUclips about their journey on Phantom Singer 2 (on their channel) it is an interesting concept to watch or if you want the shortened version a RUclips user made 3 shorter versions of the competition called the Forestory. Chu Mingyu is the leader of the group and he had a big influence when it came to selecting the members of the group. He seemed to have been the glue. If you want to listen to some of their epic-sounding songs : Champions (Seoul Festa Version) Lazenca, Save Us White Night (An Forestella original song) If you want to listen to some of their classical cross-over songs: Parla Piu Piano Un'altra Vita Dell Amore Non Si Sa If you want to listen to some of their renditions of popular songs: Despacito Legends Never Die Bad Romance We Are The Champions Bohemian Rhapsody If you want to listen to some of their Korean songs: As I Live Dead Drunk Nocturne & Words from the Wind ( 2 Songs on one video - both beautiful) If you want to listen to their original works : Save Our Lives Utopia ( in this order as the two songs are part of a trilogy. The 3rd one has not been released yet. White Night Snow Globe Kool Hope you enjoy your trip down the Forestella rabbit hole. I will be watching with you. Their videos sometime do get blocked as most of their performances are from the show Immortal Songs 2 so be prepared for that from the beginning, however to listen to them is absolutely worth while.
Welcome to the music world of Forestella!!! There will be more impressions and surprises in the future!!!😁 Your channel is my first visit and I'm a fan of Forestella. I hope that we can see your reactions from Forestellar more often Subscribe, like, and go.👍🏻 I'll look forward to the next reaction.❤
This is Immortal Songs, it's a popular tv show where established singers are invited to compete, they usually have a theme for the week, and competitors put their own twist on classic songs, and the audience votes the winners. Forestella has won a lot of times in this show, and they won King of the Kings - which is a special competition of the winners - 6 times, which is a new record. The people you see here are other competitors and the hosts of the show. This episode was during covid so there is no live audience, otherwise they usually have a big audience on set watching.
Now you are ready to listen to their cover of Bohemian Rapsody Welcome to the rabbit hole Enjoy, you ll be loving every rendition of them, covers and originals. They are very huge fans of Queen and MJ and the mister high pitch, freaking gifted counter tenor with no training Kang Hyun hoo is also a rocker named Pitta. Tip for you to remember them, Al way placed the same ( few exception )left to the right : Ko Woorim ( bass/low barytone), kang Hyun hoo ( counter tenor), Cho Min Gyu ( tenor leggero and the leader) Bae Do hoon ( barytone )
Let's go to their another great cover, "Time in a bottle" and "Bohemian Rhapsody!" You will be stunned again! Thank you for giving a chance to Forestella! They will always give you the best performance !! : )
Thanks for a wonderful reaction. They came together as a quartet through Phantom Singers in 2018(?). There are many many good quartets that have been formed through this show over the years, but Forestella remains my favorite. This performance was in another show, Immortal Singers. The singers are invited as contestants against other known singers and groups. This was filmed during Covid restrictions, so there was a limited audience who viewed and voted on the performances.The rest shown are other contestants who competed against Forestella for a trophy, and whose reactions are shown. Forestella never fails to amaze!
Both Phantom Singer 1 and 2 ended in 2017. So it would be confusing if we call it Phantom Singer 2017.. Forestella won the Phantom Singer 2 in 2017, officially debuted in 2018.
This is an old english folk song (possibly from the 17th century) - we used to learn it schools back in the 70s (UK). Simon and Garfunkel made it famous.
Welcome to the world of Forrestella. Forestellar is a phenomenal group. There are also a lot of cover songs such as Bohamian Rhapsody, Badromance, Despacito, KOOL, Opera Ghosts, Utopia, and Nella Fantasia. No matter what you hear, you'll never regret it. I'm looking forward to another reaction soon

michael has been the patreon request of every creator reacting to forestella I’ve seen so far. idk who they are but THANK YOU FOR BLESSING US WITH THOSE REACTIONS
This is from old English folk song. Simon&Garfunkel version is the most famous as far I know. There are some stories about this song Scarborough Fair..what I've read was this is a song from a ghost (soul) of a dead soldier. He asked the herbs growing on his dead body to deliver his message to his beloved girl in Scarborough Fair where was a big herb market. He asked the herbs to tell her impossible task "Tell her to make me a cambric shirt without no seams nor needle work" to make her give up waiting for his coming back as he's already unable as he's dead. Forestella sang like as messengers of this sad and beautiful story. Also there are symbols those herbs significated: parsley for comfort or to remove bitterness, sage for strength, thyme for courage, and rosemary for love. There's some speculation that these four herbs were used in a tonic of some sort to remove curses. What I first heard was to remove memories..so I thought he (the dead soldier) wanted to remove the memory about him from his girl to make her not mourning for him anymore. BTW I found those herbs cannot be grown in the same areas in fact while on my researching English references.. so it could be just for remembering the recipe for turkey seasoning ingredients, too.
Great reaction. I m an old fan of rock and classical but ,for a few years, I m a fan of them.I hope to see them one day here or in Paris, London or Amsterdam. Greetings from Belgium🇧🇪🍀🍀🍀
Thank you for your reaction to Forestella please try Bohemian rhapsody, Bad Romance, Shape of you, Hijo de la Luna, Inner universe or their own Save our lives, Utopia and White nights, Ko Woorim bass just love his voice but they are all amazing good luck ❤
WELCOME TO FORESTELLA!! Left to right Woorim - Classically trained Basso Profundo Hyungho - Rock Countertenor (zero formal training until he joined the group) Mingyu - Leader and Classically trained Leggiero Tenor Doohoon - Musical Theater Actor, Baritenor In 2017, they were individual competitors on a survival elimination show ("Phantom Singer") whose goal was to create a crossover vocal quartet like II Divo. They compete 1 v. 1, then the survivors move on to duos, then trios... and finally the Quartet. Mingyu won every round and that gave him the chance to recruit the others, specifically choosing voices that gave them variety and range (and earning him the title of “The Strategist” by the judges). They are lightning in a bottle. The show has turned out several great quartets, but none have the widespread appeal of Forestella. They continue to enter competitions (this is from Immortal Songs where they have won a record breaking 6 consecutive times… alas, this is not one of their winning performances), put out albums and even toured N. America last year. They intend to keep performing, but they are a man down until May 2025 as their Bass, Woorim, completes his Mandatory Military service. Outstanding live performances of covers to check out, Bad Romance, Lazenca, Save Us (From the Space Rock Opera), Legends Never Die, Hijo de la Luna, Bohemian Rhapsody, Time in a Bottle, Ju Suis Malade, Gondre Mandre (Dead Drunk), and Despacito. For an extra treat, check out Kang Hyungho's "Phantom of the Opera" audition (he sings both The Phantom and Christine's parts), or Cho Mingyu's "Balada de la Trompeta".
I am addicted to Forestella their vocals are out of this world. Listen to Bohemian Rhapsody, Bad Romance, Sound of Silence, Shape of You. The Champions, For Life, Smooth Criminal and so many many more. These young can sing it all❤
The songs that Forestella sings are always touching Each of their voices is unique and beautiful, and their harmonies are like a chorus of angels Heals my soul Thank you for your reaction
What is amazing about Forestella is they are probably the only group that gives exceptional live performances. Most of the performances you see on youtube are all songs sung live either at the Phantom singer 2 competition when the group was formed, or the Phantom singer All star competition where top three groups of prior seasons did a friendly competition during covid. They have also come up with exceptional performances in the immortal songs weekly competitions. Only 5 or 6 worthy singers or groups are invited based on each week’s theme. A winner is selected each week. These winners compete twice a year in the king of kings competition. Forestella has a record number of consecutive titles in this competition. They are known as the kings of harmonies. They do exceptionally well in all genres and sing in multiple languages. Their original singles and albums are also very unique and mesmerizing! Their live concerts are also very well done ! Forestella fan forever!!❤
Adoro osservare le prime reazioni di chi ascolta forestella per la prima volta....è sempre la stessa: meraviglia, incredulità e stupore ❤ Benvenuto in questo meraviglioso mondo, c'è tanto da scoprire e tanto da emozionarsi. Spero di ritrovarti presto con altre reaction di Forestella ❤ Grazie 😊
Thank you for your reaction! This is Forestella, a crossover group from Korea. They are the winner group in the Phantom Singer 2; an audition show to form a crossover quartet like il Divo from Korea. However, as they have their own unique style, they won't be Korean il Divo, they will be the Forestella of the world! Forestella has sung great covers like Bohemian Rhapsody, We are the Champions, Hijo de la Luna, Heal the World, the Sound of Silence, My Favorite Things, Champions (mash-up of Champs league theme and Champions by Jo SuMi), Nella Fantasia, Scarborough Fair..etc etc. At the Phantom Singer All Stars they sang Time in a bottle, Je suis Malade as well. Shape of You in English, Spanish and African Zulu is fantastic indeed. You can even see them dancing singing Smooth Criminal as well! If you are a LOL fan, check their Warriors and Legends Never Die! And they broke the record of their own with EXO's MAMA winning 6 trophies for King of Kings in a row in Immortal Songs. Check their magnificent performances of Bad Romance and Lazenca Save us, Unwritten Legend and Despacito too. Forestella is a quartet of Ko WooRim (a classical bass, intense abyss-deep low tone), Kang HyungHo (an ex-research chemist, rock vocalist with soprano head voice falsetto), Cho MinGyu (a classical leggiero tenor, light boyish crystal clear tone) and Bae DooHoon (a musical actor, 159th King of the Masked Singers, emotion convincer good at R&B, Pop). Each has distinct tone and style of singing, different charm. But all of them are famous as practice-freaks. They meet almost everyday to practice together. In a radio program the leader (Cho MinGyu) revealed it would be around 20 days they didn't meet in the year. Bae DooHoon also said they don't meet 1~2 days in a month. I think this explains how their perfection can be possible. Don't miss their m/v for Save our lives! It's full of wonders. Each of them is representing an element in the m/v. They sang Fake Love of BTS and their song Save our lives at MAMA. Their majestic original song Utopia is a must check. Now I see they are creating a genre called Forestella. They showed "What crossover is" with Save our lives and showing "What Forestella does" with Utopia! Enjoy their diversity with their original song White Night too. Forestella released their single KOOL in Kpop style to fulfill their promise of Kpop cover dance for exceeding 990K views of Save our lives m/v. They struggled to choose a Kpop to dance, became to think making their own Kpop song with dance! As crossover works for all genres, Forestella did a great job for their fans. Take a listening to Chosen One, an EPIC OST of the Sword of Aramun. Forestella released fantastic original Snow Globe m/v! Kang HyungHo composed it, and all the Forestella members contributed in arranging it. Another original Chagall's Dream brings back the moment of Forestella Festival in my heart, I feel like in my lucid dream seeing Forestella altogether in the future in advance. As the latest, Forestella sang Stuck in a Maze as a quartet. Don't miss it! Now 3 of them are active as trio because their bass Ko WooRim had to enlist for his national duty till 2025 May.
Gracias por reaccionar al mejor grupo Crossover del mundo!!! Los Reyes de las armonías perfectas!! Sus canciones originales también son impresionantes 🥰 Saludos desde México 🇲🇽🥰
Thanks for the reaction. Forestella is the best in the world. I listen to them all the time. They are worth a deep dive. I’m looking forward to more Forestella reactions !!! Enjoy. ❤❤❤❤
❤Gracias por tu reacción forestella lo mejor son excepcionales, si tu primera reacción fue así de impresionante aun no haz visto nada de ellos te sugiero BHOEMIAN RAPSODY, HIJO DE LA LUNA, BAD ROMANCE para continuar, FORESTELLA puede cantar cualquier género musical, esperaré ansiosa tu próximo video de ellos, saludos desde chile 🇨🇱
Yes! More Forestella!!! Seriously you won’t regret it. Everything they do is of this exceptional quality. As you noticed they aren’t a boy band but a vocal quartet, with 2 of the members actually classically trained opera singers. I still get goosebumps from watching them.
Welcome to Forestella rabbit hole! They are absolutely mesmerizing! They are a crossover group so you are going to find covers and originals in different languages! All great!!
So many good suggestions here. Loved your reaction and hope to see more as these guys are so underrated. I'd like to add 'white night' to the suggestions
always wonderful seeing someone discover forestella for the first time! listening to them is a magical experience. i do hope you'll check out more from them! i recommend their covers: Bohemian Rhapsody, Hijo De La Luna, Time In A Bottle, Je Suis Malade, Legends Never Die, and Nella Fantasia. as for their original songs I recommend their music videos for: Save Our Lives (which is part 1 of a 3 part series), Utopia (which is part 2), White Night, and Snow Globe. thank you for the reaction, looking forward to more!
Forestella está integrado por: Cho Mingyu tenor ligero y líder del cuarteto, Ko Woorim es el Bajo; Kang hyung-ho es el Contratenor y Soprano(conocido por PITTA, excelente Rockero y es también conocido cómo el hombre de las mil voces) y Bae Doohoom es el Barítono
They were individual competitors on a survival elimination show called "Phantom Singer" whose goal was to create a crossover vocal quartet like II Divo. They compete 1 v. 1, then the survivors move on to recruit for duos, then trios... and finally the Quartet. The guy 2nd from the right (Mingyu) won every round and that gave him the chance to recruit the others. Left to right Woorim - Classically trained Basso Profundo Hyungho - Rock Countertenor (zero training until he joined the group) Mingyu - Leader and Classically trained Leggiero Tenor (he and Woorim went to the same school) Doohoon - Musical Theater Actor, Baritenor They are lightning in a bottle. The show has turned out several great quartets, but none have the widespread appeal of Forestella. They continue to enter competitions, put out albums and even toured N. America last year. They intend to keep performing, but they are a man down for the next year+ as their Bass, Woorim, completes his Mandatory Military service. They have done everything from their original K-pop song, "Kool", to their new rock waltz, "Snow Globe" (which seems to be a fanciful retelling of them coming together as a team). They don't believe in genres and fear no style of song. Outstanding live performances to check out, Lazenca, Save Us (From the Space Rock Opera), Legends Never Die, Hijo de la Luna, Time in a Bottle, Je Suis Malade, Gondre Mandre (Dead Drunk), and Despacito. For an extra treat, check out Kang Hyungho's "Phantom of the Opera" audition (he sings both The Phantom and Christine's parts), or Cho Mingyu's "Balada de la Trompeta".
Saludos desde Cuba, te agradezco infinitamente tú reacción a Forestella éso denota tú excelente 👌 gusto, continua reaccionando a sus canciones créeme no te arrepentirás ❤😊
Graciaaaaaas por reaccionar a FORESTELLA!!!!! Los Reyes del Crossover y las Armonias Perfectas!!!!!! Sigue escuchando su música 🙏te encantará !!!!!! 🤩❤️🇲🇽
I love your reaction! It echoed mine when I first heard them! 😂❤ I saw them live, they sound better live! If that even makes sense. The whole concert theater, I sat in awe with goosebumps.
forestella is brilliant! here's a playlist with their greatest performances. the first 9 are forestella originals followed by many of their amazing covers! ruclips.net/p/PL2hwWBLaUBAdxHvT6jJqkiNMJ3GGeMpUa
Obrigada pela reação, Forestella sempre nos surpreendem em suas performances, adoro ❤ indico alguns vídeos deles, Hijo de la Luna, Nella Fantasia, Je sui malade, Scarabhour Fair, Bad Romance, Shape Of You, Bohemian Rapsody, White Nigth, Legend Never Die, Warriors, Lazenca Save Us, Kool,Smooth Criminal.
Excellent reaction and relevant appreciations about the best boy band ever. Even if these 4 guys are only 3 left today due to baritone Woorim Ko leaving for military service, you have a wide choice among their old performances : Parla piu piano, Hijo de la luna, If I leave, Legends nerver die, Lazenca save us, etc., without mentioning their superb MVs... And since you seem to like gospel songs, don't miss the greatest female Korean Gospel singer, Sohyang, for example in her breathtaking "Everyone" or her "Bridge over trouble waters". She's incredible too !
Their covers of well known songs (like Despacito, Smooth Criminal, and Bohemian Rhapsody) are astounding. Their originals might be even better. "Snow Globe" and "Utopia" being my top favorites.
This is not from Phantom Singer 2, but from Immortal Songs. If you keep reacting to Forestella, it'll be better to know about Immortal Songs. KBS Immortal Songs (I'll say IS) is a kind of remake rendition competition show for legendary musicians. Usually, someone living legend in Korean music is invited and 6~12 teams compete with a rendition of the songs related to the legend. But sometimes there are episodes inviting nobody and having specific themes. Now it's changed a little, the numbers of teams to 5~15. IS diversed the invited artists more like not only living legends but also popular young artists. Each episode has a winner by audiences votes. At each half of the year, there's a King of the Kings episode (I'll say KoK). At the KoK episode, the winners from each episode through the period compete with each other with any cover they choose. So in KoK, no legend is invited. Forestella began to be known to the world with their Bohemian Rhapsody and they have beautiful renditions of Heal the World, Scarborough Fair, We are the Champions, Smooth Criminal, Bad Romance, Despacito, etc. in IS. Actually they are very strong competitors in this kind of music competition shows. They also had awesome performances in Phantom Singer All Stars (I'll say PSAS) in which JTBC invited all the Phantom Singer finalists groups and had competitions among crossover groups. Their Shape of you is a MUST-SEE performance. They sang it in 3 different languages- English, Spanish and isiZulu (one of the African languages) there. And their Time in a bottle, Je suis malade and Inner Universe in PSAS would be also stunning.
@@manaciel haha my bad. You're right. This is the problem with having to wait a month for a copyright dispute to be resolved. I've forgotten stuff 😂. Please accept my apology
@@TheCharlieSmithChannelIt's OK. Never mind ;) Thanks for your effort for uploading this through copyright process. It would be frustrating to wait for a long time. But I'll be waiting for your another reaction to Forestella!
Yes. Please check out all their performances on Phantom singers 2 the show that created Forestella, and Phantom singers All stars where top three teams from three seasons competed. Forestella came up with exceptional performances. They are very well known for their performances on immortal songs 2 shows. The earned the King of Kings title 6 consecutive times, a record for the show. There is a lot for you to discover! I just love them!!
Please react to more FORESTELLA: "AS I LIVE" "MALDITA SEA MI SUERTE" (spanish song) "A story sadder than sadness" (This is a recent performance that's why there were only three of them, one is doing mandatory military service)
INFO: You already reacted to Bohemian Rapsody sorry spelling, but have you seen Forestella's version of it or their version of Bad Romance or even Shape of You.........all of them are amazing........LOL
forestella - Legends Never Die, Bohemian Rhapsody, If I Leave, Je Suis Malade, despacito, Time In A Bottle, champions , shape of you , Hijo de la Luna, nella fantasia 무대도 추천합니다

There are videos on RUclips about their journey on Phantom Singer 2 (on their channel) it is an interesting concept to watch or if you want the shortened version a RUclips user made 3 shorter versions of the competition called the Forestory.

Thanks for a wonderful reaction. They came together as a quartet through Phantom Singers in 2018(?). There are many many good quartets that have been formed through this show over the years, but Forestella remains my favorite.
This performance was in another show, Immortal Singers. The singers are invited as contestants against other known singers and groups. This was filmed during Covid restrictions, so there was a limited audience who viewed and voted on the performances.The rest shown are other contestants who competed against Forestella for a trophy, and whose reactions are shown.

michael has been the patreon request of every creator reacting to forestella I’ve seen so far. idk who they are but THANK YOU FOR BLESSING US WITH THOSE REACTIONS
That song was from a WEEKLY contest, it means they only had a week for song choice, rehearsals, etc.
This is from old English folk song. Simon&Garfunkel version is the most famous as far I know.
There are some stories about this song Scarborough Fair..what I've read was this is a song from a ghost (soul) of a dead soldier. He asked the herbs growing on his dead body to deliver his message to his beloved girl in Scarborough Fair where was a big herb market. He asked the herbs to tell her impossible task "Tell her to make me a cambric shirt without no seams nor needle work" to make her give up waiting for his coming back as he's already unable as he's dead. Forestella sang like as messengers of this sad and beautiful story.
Also there are symbols those herbs significated: parsley for comfort or to remove bitterness, sage for strength, thyme for courage, and rosemary for love. There's some speculation that these four herbs were used in a tonic of some sort to remove curses. What I first heard was to remove memories..so I thought he (the dead soldier) wanted to remove the memory about him from his girl to make her not mourning for him anymore.
BTW I found those herbs cannot be grown in the same areas in fact while on my researching English references.. so it could be just for remembering the recipe for turkey seasoning ingredients, too.
Welcome to the wonderful world of Forestella!!!
Great reaction. I m an old fan of rock and classical but ,for a few years, I m a fan of them.I hope to see them one day here or in Paris, London or Amsterdam. Greetings from Belgium🇧🇪🍀🍀🍀
Thank you for your reaction to Forestella please try Bohemian rhapsody, Bad Romance, Shape of you, Hijo de la Luna, Inner universe or their own Save our lives, Utopia and White nights, Ko Woorim bass just love his voice but they are all amazing good luck ❤
WELCOME TO FORESTELLA!!
Left to right
Woorim - Classically trained Basso Profundo
Hyungho - Rock Countertenor (zero formal training until he joined the group)
Mingyu - Leader and Classically trained Leggiero Tenor
Doohoon - Musical Theater Actor, Baritenor
In 2017, they were individual competitors on a survival elimination show ("Phantom Singer") whose goal was to create a crossover vocal quartet like II Divo. They compete 1 v. 1, then the survivors move on to duos, then trios... and finally the Quartet. Mingyu won every round and that gave him the chance to recruit the others, specifically choosing voices that gave them variety and range (and earning him the title of “The Strategist” by the judges). They are lightning in a bottle. The show has turned out several great quartets, but none have the widespread appeal of Forestella.
They continue to enter competitions (this is from Immortal Songs where they have won a record breaking 6 consecutive times… alas, this is not one of their winning performances), put out albums and even toured N. America last year. They intend to keep performing, but they are a man down until May 2025 as their Bass, Woorim, completes his Mandatory Military service.
Outstanding live performances of covers to check out, Bad Romance, Lazenca, Save Us (From the Space Rock Opera), Legends Never Die, Hijo de la Luna, Bohemian Rhapsody, Time in a Bottle, Ju Suis Malade, Gondre Mandre (Dead Drunk), and Despacito. For an extra treat, check out Kang Hyungho's "Phantom of the Opera" audition (he sings both The Phantom and Christine's parts), or Cho Mingyu's "Balada de la Trompeta".
I am addicted to Forestella their vocals are out of this world. Listen to Bohemian Rhapsody, Bad Romance, Sound of Silence, Shape of You. The Champions, For Life, Smooth Criminal and so many many more. These young can sing it all❤
The songs that Forestella sings are always touching
Each of their voices is unique and beautiful, and their harmonies are like a chorus of angels
Heals my soul
Thank you for your reaction
What is amazing about Forestella is they are probably the only group that gives exceptional live performances. Most of the performances you see on youtube are all songs sung live either at the Phantom singer 2 competition when the group was formed, or the Phantom singer All star competition where top three groups of prior seasons did a friendly competition during covid.
They have also come up with exceptional performances in the immortal songs weekly competitions. Only 5 or 6 worthy singers or groups are invited based on each week’s theme. A winner is selected each week. These winners compete twice a year in the king of kings competition. Forestella has a record number of consecutive titles in this competition. They are known as the kings of harmonies. They do exceptionally well in all genres and sing in multiple languages.
Their original singles and albums are also very unique and mesmerizing!
Their live concerts are also very well done !
Forestella fan forever!!❤
Adoro osservare le prime reazioni di chi ascolta forestella per la prima volta....è sempre la stessa: meraviglia, incredulità e stupore ❤
Benvenuto in questo meraviglioso mondo, c'è tanto da scoprire e tanto da emozionarsi.
Spero di ritrovarti presto con altre reaction di Forestella ❤
Grazie 😊
Thanks to react to Forestella ❤❤❤❤
Thank you for your reaction!
This is Forestella, a crossover group from Korea. They are the winner group in the Phantom Singer 2; an audition show to form a crossover quartet like il Divo from Korea. However, as they have their own unique style, they won't be Korean il Divo, they will be the Forestella of the world!
Forestella has sung great covers like Bohemian Rhapsody, We are the Champions, Hijo de la Luna, Heal the World, the Sound of Silence, My Favorite Things, Champions (mash-up of Champs league theme and Champions by Jo SuMi), Nella Fantasia, Scarborough Fair..etc etc. At the Phantom Singer All Stars they sang Time in a bottle, Je suis Malade as well. Shape of You in English, Spanish and African Zulu is fantastic indeed.
You can even see them dancing singing Smooth Criminal as well! If you are a LOL fan, check their Warriors and Legends Never Die!
And they broke the record of their own with EXO's MAMA winning 6 trophies for King of Kings in a row in Immortal Songs. Check their magnificent performances of Bad Romance and Lazenca Save us, Unwritten Legend and Despacito too.
Forestella is a quartet of Ko WooRim (a classical bass, intense abyss-deep low tone), Kang HyungHo (an ex-research chemist, rock vocalist with soprano head voice falsetto), Cho MinGyu (a classical leggiero tenor, light boyish crystal clear tone) and Bae DooHoon (a musical actor, 159th King of the Masked Singers, emotion convincer good at R&B, Pop). Each has distinct tone and style of singing, different charm. But all of them are famous as practice-freaks. They meet almost everyday to practice together. In a radio program the leader (Cho MinGyu) revealed it would be around 20 days they didn't meet in the year. Bae DooHoon also said they don't meet 1~2 days in a month. I think this explains how their perfection can be possible.
Don't miss their m/v for Save our lives! It's full of wonders. Each of them is representing an element in the m/v. They sang Fake Love of BTS and their song Save our lives at MAMA. Their majestic original song Utopia is a must check.
Now I see they are creating a genre called Forestella. They showed "What crossover is" with Save our lives and showing "What Forestella does" with Utopia! Enjoy their diversity with their original song White Night too.
Forestella released their single KOOL in Kpop style to fulfill their promise of Kpop cover dance for exceeding 990K views of Save our lives m/v. They struggled to choose a Kpop to dance, became to think making their own Kpop song with dance! As crossover works for all genres, Forestella did a great job for their fans.
Take a listening to Chosen One, an EPIC OST of the Sword of Aramun.
Forestella released fantastic original Snow Globe m/v! Kang HyungHo composed it, and all the Forestella members contributed in arranging it.
Another original Chagall's Dream brings back the moment of Forestella Festival in my heart, I feel like in my lucid dream seeing Forestella altogether in the future in advance.
As the latest, Forestella sang Stuck in a Maze as a quartet. Don't miss it!
Now 3 of them are active as trio because their bass Ko WooRim had to enlist for his national duty till 2025 May.

Yes! More Forestella!!! Seriously you won’t regret it. Everything they do is of this exceptional quality. As you noticed they aren’t a boy band but a vocal quartet, with 2 of the members actually classically trained opera singers. I still get goosebumps from watching them.
Welcome to Forestella rabbit hole! They are absolutely mesmerizing! They are a crossover group so you are going to find covers and originals in different languages! All great!!
They are just fabulous. They sing every genre beautifully! Enjoy your journey with Forestella thank you for your great reaction

❤❤❤ forestella, suscrita
Bravo Forestella!!!!
Please more Forestella, they are simply amazing. ❤️
مذهلون طول الوقت ابهار فورستيلا لا يتوقف استمع الى spread silk on my heart ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Forestella está integrado por: Cho Mingyu tenor ligero y líder del cuarteto, Ko Woorim es el Bajo; Kang hyung-ho es el Contratenor y Soprano(conocido por PITTA, excelente Rockero y es también conocido cómo el hombre de las mil voces) y Bae Doohoom es el Barítono
They have over 63 ish song both cover and original plus some solo work for some member

They have done everything from their original K-pop song, "Kool", to their new rock waltz, "Snow Globe" (which seems to be a fanciful retelling of them coming together as a team). They don't believe in genres and fear no style of song.

Son increíbles
Love the song and your reactions
Woorim is a rare kind of bass
Try their cover time in bottle
They are a cross over group
Forestella - это легальный наркотик! Потребность слушать их пение делает вас счастливыми и зависимыми!🥹😁❤️🔥
리액션감사합니다❤
포레스텔라의 다른곡도 부탁드려요😊
i got goosebumps at the end, it was so cool😍
포레스텔라 리액션 감사합니다~ ❤
Excellent reaction and relevant appreciations about the best boy band ever. Even if these 4 guys are only 3 left today due to baritone Woorim Ko leaving for military service, you have a wide choice among their old performances : Parla piu piano, Hijo de la luna, If I leave, Legends nerver die, Lazenca save us, etc., without mentioning their superb MVs...
And since you seem to like gospel songs, don't miss the greatest female Korean Gospel singer, Sohyang, for example in her breathtaking "Everyone" or her "Bridge over trouble waters". She's incredible too !
Their covers of well known songs (like Despacito, Smooth Criminal, and Bohemian Rhapsody) are astounding. Their originals might be even better. "Snow Globe" and "Utopia" being my top favorites.
toda vez que escuto forastella apenas lembro dos filmes da disney
독보적인 음색 하모니 포레스텔라 영상 감사합니다 구독 좋아요 👍 ❤포레스텔라
Fabuloso ❤❤❤❤ FORESTELLA, por siempre forestella ....son dioses ❤❤❤❤
포레에 빠져 아직 못자고 있는 일인...😢포레스텔라 리액션 많이 부탁드립니다 감사합니다 ~~❤
This is not from Phantom Singer 2, but from Immortal Songs.
If you keep reacting to Forestella, it'll be better to know about Immortal Songs.
KBS Immortal Songs (I'll say IS) is a kind of remake rendition competition show for legendary musicians. Usually, someone living legend in Korean music is invited and 6~12 teams compete with a rendition of the songs related to the legend. But sometimes there are episodes inviting nobody and having specific themes. Now it's changed a little, the numbers of teams to 5~15. IS diversed the invited artists more like not only living legends but also popular young artists.
Each episode has a winner by audiences votes. At each half of the year, there's a King of the Kings episode (I'll say KoK). At the KoK episode, the winners from each episode through the period compete with each other with any cover they choose. So in KoK, no legend is invited.
Forestella began to be known to the world with their Bohemian Rhapsody and they have beautiful renditions of Heal the World, Scarborough Fair, We are the Champions, Smooth Criminal, Bad Romance, Despacito, etc. in IS.
Actually they are very strong competitors in this kind of music competition shows. They also had awesome performances in Phantom Singer All Stars (I'll say PSAS) in which JTBC invited all the Phantom Singer finalists groups and had competitions among crossover groups. Their Shape of you is a MUST-SEE performance. They sang it in 3 different languages- English, Spanish and isiZulu (one of the African languages) there. And their Time in a bottle, Je suis malade and Inner Universe in PSAS would be also stunning.
I didn't say it was from phantom singer. I said that's where they were formed
@@TheCharlieSmithChannel7:15 I answered your question if the Scarborough Fair is from Phantom Singer.
@@manaciel haha my bad. You're right. This is the problem with having to wait a month for a copyright dispute to be resolved. I've forgotten stuff 😂. Please accept my apology
@@TheCharlieSmithChannelIt's OK. Never mind ;) Thanks for your effort for uploading this through copyright process. It would be frustrating to wait for a long time. But I'll be waiting for your another reaction to Forestella!
Yes. Please check out all their performances on Phantom singers 2 the show that created Forestella, and Phantom singers All stars where top three teams from three seasons competed. Forestella came up with exceptional performances.
They are very well known for their performances on immortal songs 2 shows. The earned the King of Kings title 6 consecutive times, a record for the show.
There is a lot for you to discover!
I just love them!!
Please react to more FORESTELLA:
"AS I LIVE"
"MALDITA SEA MI SUERTE" (spanish song)
"A story sadder than sadness" (This is a recent performance that's why there were only three of them, one is doing mandatory military service)
Welcome to the world of Forestella!!! 💓💞💞💜💙💚🧡❤👍👍👍👍
