Great to see you back visiting Sohyang again. As you suspected, Arirang Alone is a traditional folk song that Sohyang modernized with her magical rendition that takes your heart and mind to a different place and time. This performance, which at times seemed to be narrating the peaceful and bucolic scene of the countryside, turned on a dime and sent you into dramatic and fearsome turbulences of the stormy sea. Many have related this song to the Korean history filled with wars and conflict in the recent times. Sohyang's voice along can take you onto the journey to experience the lessons from the history. Great reaction.
Arirang Alone is a Korean folk song written in the hope and longing for the reunification of Korea. Sohyang's arrangement is a masterpiece and her vocals are mind blowing as always. She is truly next level. Thank you for the reaction. Check out her rendition of You Raise Me Up next, make sure its the one from Immortal Songs 2 2018 with more than 10M views. Thank you for the reaction. Good to see you back reacting to Sosyang, its been a while.

Sohyang is a cancer survivor and the very reason she sings is to give people hope and cheer them on. Furthermore, she is an author of fiction that actually written multiple fantasy novels, so she is some seriously multi-talented artist.
This modern version is about the longing the Korean people have for the North and South to be one again. The songwriter’s parents had to leave two sons and a daughter in North Korea during the war. His father’s dying wish to him was “when Korea reunite, go find your older brothers and sister and tell them that their parents did not abandoned them”. Where everyone in the audience sings along is where Sohyang incorporated the original Arirang lyric and melody.
As you mentioned, I like to hear the word Princess rather than Queen!! I've seen this video more than thousand times! But still got me when I listen to this!!😂

It is astounding that this tiny woman, at best 5 foot 4 and 100 pounds, can blow the roof off any auditorium with her singing--and then come back down to that quiet ending! That takes super-human control of your central nervous system! Sohyang is the greatest female singer in the world. Period. 🤨
ain’t that average size for a woman tho 😂 it’s still amazing that she can do so much with her voice but it’s not like she’s under 5 feet singing this lol
@@ToddSauve you do know the average height for a woman is that height right? Weight it varies depending on the country, but it’s not that uncommon. Her voice is the uncommon thing here lol. And to answer your question, I know several women like that.
Glad to hear you enjoyed friend. Sohyang is able to transcend language and still touch your heart even without knowing the words being sung. We are very grateful that the community introduced us to her. 💚💜
@@RNTV Here's a little background on the song, which I believe is expressed in a couple of variations. I also suspect there are slightly different takes on this song's meaning (probably evolved through time) but here's a quick summary of mine. Korea's history dates back thousands of years and despite its relatively recent rise onto the world stage with its economic boom and entertainment & media export, this tiny country's history is marred with hardship and Arirang is a traditional folk song that captures one slice of its people's emotions. Songs like Arirang reflect the sorrow, longing, hope and perseverance of a people that has endured a long history of tragedies resulting from hundreds of years of invasions and occupations by its neighbors such as China, Mongolia, Japan and most recently, the pains of a nation physically divided in two. Arirang is not just a South Korean thing, it's a Korean folk song. Lately in South Korea though, the song has taken on more significance as an expression of national pride and optimism. International stars like BTS and Kim Yuna (Olympic figure skating champion) have proudly incorporated Arirang into their routines. As you so aptly noted, the older people seen in this video are indeed radiating with pride. Hope to see more Sohyang reactions!
@@RNTV Here are some other Sohyang videos to which I'd love to see you react: Amazing Grace (czcams.com/video/M7OXYs1J8p4/video.html), I Have Nothing (czcams.com/video/T4UyIMkdy4M/video.html), I Will Always Love You (czcams.com/video/DO845EqU3eE/video.html), Oh Holy Night (czcams.com/video/YwgF3Gylu-0/video.html), The Power of Love (czcams.com/video/LrNkVRrK7_I/video.html), You Raise Me Up (czcams.com/video/te_L9ofhUt8/video.html)
So Hyang is an astounding singer and I love the way you two reacted to this song which never gets old hearing! Her voice has a quality that heals the soul. She is the best singer I have heard in a lifetime, with so many vocal skills. But it is her emotional conveyance that separates her (for me) from other great singers. Thanks for the reaction!
Thanks for reaction to the slaying queen So. May I say Sohyang Means live performance in big or small venues with few or a Lot people. That's why everything always Is unreal. Thanks from Perú

Glad to see another great reaction of Sohyang! There are about 3,600 variations of 60 different versions of the song “Arirang”. It is estimated the song is more than 600 years old and "Arirang" is included twice on the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage list. The song became an unofficial anthem during the Japanese occupation of Korea (1910-1945), when singing was censored heavily and it became a criminal offense for anyone to be singing any patriotic song, including the national anthem. Therefore, a resistance anthem at the time. Even so, the song became highly popular in Japan. Currently, “Arirang” is sung in both North and South Korea and represents the symbol of unity in the region that is divided by the Korean War. Source and more info: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arirang. Cheers!

This is a modern adaptation of an ancient Korean folk song. Based on my independent research, the lyrics of the original are based on the Hebrew Bible, specifically Jeremiah 17:1-18. Hebrew word "ari" (אֲרִי) means "lion"; and this is the Biblical symbol for the tribe of Judah as well as the Messiah, who is the archetypal Son of Judah and David. Additionally, Hebrew verb "ranan" (רָנַן) means "to give a ringing cry (for joy)". So taken together, "Ari rang" could be paraphrased to "Judah, give a ringing cry for joy!". Undoubtedly, the people of Judah would find comfort in such a phrase, as it communicates the Messianic hope communicated in the Bible. Now let's look at the expression "arariyo" in the first line of this folk song. Hebrew "harari" means "my mountain". This word also means "mountain-dweller". The Bible describes two of David's warriors - "Shammah the Hararite, Ahiam the son of Sharar the Ararite" - as "harari" (2 Sam. 23:33). (Relatedly, the Korean peninsula is full of mountains, and mountains are proudly mentioned several times in the Korean national anthem as well.) The word "harari" ("My mountain") occurs in Jeremiah 17, which contains a dire prophetic warning against Judah that "My mountain" along with many of Judah's possessions would be plundered by Judah's enemies. "1The sin of Judah is written down with an iron stylus; With a diamond point it is engraved upon the tablet of their heart And on the horns of their altars, 2As they remember their children, So they remember their altars and their Asherim By green trees on the high hills. 3O mountain of Mine in the countryside, I will give over your wealth and all your treasures for booty, Your high places for sin throughout your borders. 4And you will, even of yourself, let go of your inheritance That I gave you; And I will make you serve your enemies In the land which you do not know; For you have kindled a fire in My anger Which will burn forever. 5Thus says the LORD, “Cursed is the man who trusts in mankind And makes flesh his strength, And whose heart turns away from the LORD. 6“For he will be like a bush in the desert And will not see when prosperity comes, But will live in stony wastes in the wilderness, A land of salt without inhabitant. 7“Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD And whose trust is the LORD. 8“For he will be like a tree planted by the water, That extends its roots by a stream And will not fear when the heat comes; But its leaves will be green, And it will not be anxious in a year of drought Nor cease to yield fruit. 9“The heart is more deceitful than all else And is desperately sick; Who can understand it? 10“I, the LORD, search the heart, I test the mind, Even to give to each man according to his ways, According to the results of his deeds. 11“As a partridge that hatches eggs which it has not laid, So is he who makes a fortune, but unjustly; In the midst of his days it will forsake him, And in the end he will be a fool.” 12A glorious throne on high from the beginning Is the place of our sanctuary. 13O LORD, the hope of Israel, All who forsake You will be put to shame. Those who turn away on earth will be written down, Because they have forsaken the fountain of living water, even the LORD. 14Heal me, O LORD, and I will be healed; Save me and I will be saved, For You are my praise. 15Look, they keep saying to me, “Where is the word of the LORD? Let it come now!” 16But as for me, I have not hurried away from being a shepherd after You, Nor have I longed for the woeful day; You Yourself know that the utterance of my lips Was in Your presence. 17Do not be a terror to me; You are my refuge in the day of disaster. 18Let those who persecute me be put to shame, but as for me, let me not be put to shame; Let them be dismayed, but let me not be dismayed. Bring on them a day of disaster, And crush them with twofold destruction!" (Jer. 17: 1-18 NASB) Hebrew "hariyu" is an imperative form of a verb meaning "to raise a shout" or "give a blast". The base form of this verb is "rua" (רוּעַ). So "(h)arariyo" is probably a contraction for "harari hariyu" - with the "h" sound muted for various possible reasons, while the final "-u" appears to have morphed to "-o" for greater ease of singing perhaps. We can provide a paraphrased translation as "My mountain (or alternatively "Mountain-dwellers"), raise a shout/blast!" The wordplay between "harari" and "hariyu" should be obvious. Note also that Hebrew and other Semitic languages have lost some of the (h) sounds they used to have in ancient times. Furthermore, evidence from King Sejong's alphabet strongly suggests that Korean has also lost some (h) sounds it used to have in ancient times. Even as late as the fifteenth century, there was a sound that was represented by a double ㅎ, which is sounded like the Roman/English (h) sound. In Korean, doubling a consonant makes it more plosive or aspirated; so this means there was once a more aspirated "h" sound in Korean which is no longer used. Therefore it is quite possible that a soft "h" sound was lost in the process. Furthermore, as the case of 2 Samuel 23:33 shows, based on morphological rules, when preceded by the definitive article "ha", the initial (h) in "harari" is omitted. Therefore, there is morphological precedent for omitting the initial (h) sound; and this might help explain why "harari" could have changed to "Arari" in the phrase "Arariyo". Thus it is possible that the original lyrics contained the expression "harariyu". Why would we see a song encouraging Judah to "give a ringing cry (for joy)" and to give a shout/blast at "My mountain"? The Biblical prophecies might offer a possible explanation. Several Biblical prophecies declare that when the Messiah returns, the holy mount, which was called "Ariel" in ancient times, will be restored to Judah and the children of Israel. Could this explain why the Koreans - the "Han" people - would be singing this song for centuries to comfort each other in difficult times? (I have come to believe that "Han" is an acronym for Haran, Abraham, and Nahor, who are the three sons of Terah; people of "Han" ethnicity are also in parts of present-day China, so it is not exclusive to Korean nationality. I believe all those who identified as "Han" people are probably descended from these three brothers who all shared a common parent.) One of the most important themes in the folk song is the inspirational hope of finally reaching the "hill" of Arirang. One can't help but think that "Arirang" must be quite a hill, if such a song has been sung for so many centuries and has become an unofficial national anthem for Koreans everywhere! If a believer reads what is said about "Ariel", the ancient name for Yerushalayim, then one can easily understand why our Korean ancestors so long ago would have taken refuge in such a song. Sadly, its original meaning seems to have been lost over time. Nowadays, Koreans still love this song, but they have no idea what "Arirang" is supposed to represent. If one studies the work of Professor Avigdor Shachan, who is the world's most accomplished scholar on the "lost tribes" of Israel, you can begin to understand how I have come to believe this, even if it might seem farfetched at first glance. There is a news piece about Shachan on CZcams, which gives a good summary of his research. To summarise, Professor Shachan has found strong evidence that the "lost tribes" which were taken to captivity in Assyria in the 8th century BCE moved further east, because they didn't want to be a buffer to protect Assyria from their enemies any longer. So they first migrated to the region of present-day Afghanistan, and later ultimately towards Korea and Japan. There were three main routes taken to Korea: 1) through the Gobi Desert (roughly 40 percent didn't survive); 2) through China (some remained in China, particularly in Kaifeng); and 3) through India (some remained in India, Burma, Kashimir, and elsewhere). Relatedly, in Tamilnadu, which is a region in the southern tip of India, there is a lullaby called "Ariro". It appears these folk songs sung in Korea and Tamilnadu probably had a common source, but perhaps one or both have altered over time. It is not so farfetched to think that a song about "ari" - exemplified by the Messianic "lion" which Yeshua turned out to be - would have become a song sung to babies at bedtime, much the same as some Christian parents still sing songs about Jesus to their children today. If we supposed that both "Arirang" and "Ariro" are about the Messiah, of whom prophecies were uttered to the first human progenitors, Adam and Eve; then such a profound hope would easily explain its great appeal and great longevity to survive so many centuries. Moreover, if such songs are at least partly based on prophecies found in the above quoted passage in Yeremiyah, they might date to BCE times when some of the ancestors were journeying from Israel to Korea! Incidentally, there is a Japanese version of this folk song, but in Japan, it is sometimes sung as "Ariran" rather than "Arirang". It appears based on the above analysis, that "Ariran" might be closer to the original pronunciation than "Arirang".

It is astounding that this tiny woman, at best 5 foot 4 and 100 pounds, can blow the roof off any auditorium with her singing--and then come back down to that quiet ending! That takes super-human control of your central nervous system! Sohyang is the greatest female singer in the world. Period. 🤨
ain’t that average size for a woman tho 😂 it’s still amazing that she can do so much with her voice but it’s not like she’s under 5 feet singing this lol
@@beyondviolet When's the last time you met a 5 foot 4 100 pound woman?
@@ToddSauve you do know the average height for a woman is that height right? Weight it varies depending on the country, but it’s not that uncommon. Her voice is the uncommon thing here lol.
And to answer your question, I know several women like that.
@@beyondviolet Everyone knows a few women like that but they are not common, at least not in North America.
@@ToddSauve this may shock you but I don’t think Sohyang is from North America
Respect...🙏

소향님 아리랑 동영상 감사합니다👏👍
한국 사람에게 아리랑은 특별하다!
What a terrific reaction! Heartwarming to see how much you liked this performance despite not knowing the song's meaning.
Glad to hear you enjoyed friend. Sohyang is able to transcend language and still touch your heart even without knowing the words being sung. We are very grateful that the community introduced us to her. 💚💜
@@RNTV Here's a little background on the song, which I believe is expressed in a couple of variations. I also suspect there are slightly different takes on this song's meaning (probably evolved through time) but here's a quick summary of mine. Korea's history dates back thousands of years and despite its relatively recent rise onto the world stage with its economic boom and entertainment & media export, this tiny country's history is marred with hardship and Arirang is a traditional folk song that captures one slice of its people's emotions. Songs like Arirang reflect the sorrow, longing, hope and perseverance of a people that has endured a long history of tragedies resulting from hundreds of years of invasions and occupations by its neighbors such as China, Mongolia, Japan and most recently, the pains of a nation physically divided in two. Arirang is not just a South Korean thing, it's a Korean folk song. Lately in South Korea though, the song has taken on more significance as an expression of national pride and optimism. International stars like BTS and Kim Yuna (Olympic figure skating champion) have proudly incorporated Arirang into their routines. As you so aptly noted, the older people seen in this video are indeed radiating with pride. Hope to see more Sohyang reactions!
@@RNTV Here are some other Sohyang videos to which I'd love to see you react: Amazing Grace (czcams.com/video/M7OXYs1J8p4/video.html), I Have Nothing (czcams.com/video/T4UyIMkdy4M/video.html), I Will Always Love You (czcams.com/video/DO845EqU3eE/video.html), Oh Holy Night (czcams.com/video/YwgF3Gylu-0/video.html), The Power of Love (czcams.com/video/LrNkVRrK7_I/video.html), You Raise Me Up (czcams.com/video/te_L9ofhUt8/video.html)
So Hyang is an astounding singer and I love the way you two reacted to this song which never gets old hearing! Her voice has a quality that heals the soul. She is the best singer I have heard in a lifetime, with so many vocal skills. But it is her emotional conveyance that separates her (for me) from other great singers. Thanks for the reaction!
Happy you got back to doing a Sohyang video. The next on you should do is "Everyone".

Glad to see another great reaction of Sohyang! There are about 3,600 variations of 60 different versions of the song “Arirang”. It is estimated the song is more than 600 years old and "Arirang" is included twice on the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage list. The song became an unofficial anthem during the Japanese occupation of Korea (1910-1945), when singing was censored heavily and it became a criminal offense for anyone to be singing any patriotic song, including the national anthem. Therefore, a resistance anthem at the time. Even so, the song became highly popular in Japan. Currently, “Arirang” is sung in both North and South Korea and represents the symbol of unity in the region that is divided by the Korean War. Source and more info: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arirang.
Cheers!
Arirang busking: a 2022 version sung by Sohyang at the Seodaemun Prison History Hall, a prision built by Japan in 1907, a place that symbolizes korean spirit, emotions and independence over the oppression, hardship and adversity. Sohyang explain the context and everything this song means for her and for korean folk.

From my understanding, Arirang is like an unofficial national anthem for South Korea, akin to what America the Beautiful is in the US.
Thank you for letting us know that friend! 💜💚

This is a modern adaptation of an ancient Korean folk song. Based on my independent research, the lyrics of the original are based on the Hebrew Bible, specifically Jeremiah 17:1-18. Hebrew word "ari" (אֲרִי) means "lion"; and this is the Biblical symbol for the tribe of Judah as well as the Messiah, who is the archetypal Son of Judah and David. Additionally, Hebrew verb "ranan" (רָנַן) means "to give a ringing cry (for joy)". So taken together, "Ari rang" could be paraphrased to "Judah, give a ringing cry for joy!". Undoubtedly, the people of Judah would find comfort in such a phrase, as it communicates the Messianic hope communicated in the Bible.
Now let's look at the expression "arariyo" in the first line of this folk song. Hebrew "harari" means "my mountain". This word also means "mountain-dweller". The Bible describes two of David's warriors - "Shammah the Hararite, Ahiam the son of Sharar the Ararite" - as "harari" (2 Sam. 23:33). (Relatedly, the Korean peninsula is full of mountains, and mountains are proudly mentioned several times in the Korean national anthem as well.) The word "harari" ("My mountain") occurs in Jeremiah 17, which contains a dire prophetic warning against Judah that "My mountain" along with many of Judah's possessions would be plundered by Judah's enemies.
"1The sin of Judah is written down with an iron stylus;
With a diamond point it is engraved upon the tablet of their heart
And on the horns of their altars,
2As they remember their children,
So they remember their altars and their Asherim
By green trees on the high hills.
3O mountain of Mine in the countryside,
I will give over your wealth and all your treasures for booty,
Your high places for sin throughout your borders.
4And you will, even of yourself, let go of your inheritance
That I gave you;
And I will make you serve your enemies
In the land which you do not know;
For you have kindled a fire in My anger
Which will burn forever.
5Thus says the LORD,
“Cursed is the man who trusts in mankind
And makes flesh his strength,
And whose heart turns away from the LORD.
6“For he will be like a bush in the desert
And will not see when prosperity comes,
But will live in stony wastes in the wilderness,
A land of salt without inhabitant.
7“Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD
And whose trust is the LORD.
8“For he will be like a tree planted by the water,
That extends its roots by a stream
And will not fear when the heat comes;
But its leaves will be green,
And it will not be anxious in a year of drought
Nor cease to yield fruit.
9“The heart is more deceitful than all else
And is desperately sick;
Who can understand it?
10“I, the LORD, search the heart,
I test the mind,
Even to give to each man according to his ways,
According to the results of his deeds.
11“As a partridge that hatches eggs which it has not laid,
So is he who makes a fortune, but unjustly;
In the midst of his days it will forsake him,
And in the end he will be a fool.”
12A glorious throne on high from the beginning
Is the place of our sanctuary.
13O LORD, the hope of Israel,
All who forsake You will be put to shame.
Those who turn away on earth will be written down,
Because they have forsaken the fountain of living water, even the LORD.
14Heal me, O LORD, and I will be healed;
Save me and I will be saved,
For You are my praise.
15Look, they keep saying to me,
“Where is the word of the LORD?
Let it come now!”
16But as for me, I have not hurried away from being a shepherd after You,
Nor have I longed for the woeful day;
You Yourself know that the utterance of my lips
Was in Your presence.
17Do not be a terror to me;
You are my refuge in the day of disaster.
18Let those who persecute me be put to shame, but as for me, let me not be put to shame;
Let them be dismayed, but let me not be dismayed.
Bring on them a day of disaster,
And crush them with twofold destruction!" (Jer. 17: 1-18 NASB)
Hebrew "hariyu" is an imperative form of a verb meaning "to raise a shout" or "give a blast". The base form of this verb is "rua" (רוּעַ).
So "(h)arariyo" is probably a contraction for "harari hariyu" - with the "h" sound muted for various possible reasons, while the final "-u" appears to have morphed to "-o" for greater ease of singing perhaps. We can provide a paraphrased translation as "My mountain (or alternatively "Mountain-dwellers"), raise a shout/blast!" The wordplay between "harari" and "hariyu" should be obvious. Note also that Hebrew and other Semitic languages have lost some of the (h) sounds they used to have in ancient times. Furthermore, evidence from King Sejong's alphabet strongly suggests that Korean has also lost some (h) sounds it used to have in ancient times. Even as late as the fifteenth century, there was a sound that was represented by a double ㅎ, which is sounded like the Roman/English (h) sound. In Korean, doubling a consonant makes it more plosive or aspirated; so this means there was once a more aspirated "h" sound in Korean which is no longer used. Therefore it is quite possible that a soft "h" sound was lost in the process. Furthermore, as the case of 2 Samuel 23:33 shows, based on morphological rules, when preceded by the definitive article "ha", the initial (h) in "harari" is omitted. Therefore, there is morphological precedent for omitting the initial (h) sound; and this might help explain why "harari" could have changed to "Arari" in the phrase "Arariyo". Thus it is possible that the original lyrics contained the expression "harariyu".
Why would we see a song encouraging Judah to "give a ringing cry (for joy)" and to give a shout/blast at "My mountain"? The Biblical prophecies might offer a possible explanation. Several Biblical prophecies declare that when the Messiah returns, the holy mount, which was called "Ariel" in ancient times, will be restored to Judah and the children of Israel. Could this explain why the Koreans - the "Han" people - would be singing this song for centuries to comfort each other in difficult times? (I have come to believe that "Han" is an acronym for Haran, Abraham, and Nahor, who are the three sons of Terah; people of "Han" ethnicity are also in parts of present-day China, so it is not exclusive to Korean nationality. I believe all those who identified as "Han" people are probably descended from these three brothers who all shared a common parent.) One of the most important themes in the folk song is the inspirational hope of finally reaching the "hill" of Arirang. One can't help but think that "Arirang" must be quite a hill, if such a song has been sung for so many centuries and has become an unofficial national anthem for Koreans everywhere! If a believer reads what is said about "Ariel", the ancient name for Yerushalayim, then one can easily understand why our Korean ancestors so long ago would have taken refuge in such a song. Sadly, its original meaning seems to have been lost over time. Nowadays, Koreans still love this song, but they have no idea what "Arirang" is supposed to represent.
If one studies the work of Professor Avigdor Shachan, who is the world's most accomplished scholar on the "lost tribes" of Israel, you can begin to understand how I have come to believe this, even if it might seem farfetched at first glance. There is a news piece about Shachan on CZcams, which gives a good summary of his research. To summarise, Professor Shachan has found strong evidence that the "lost tribes" which were taken to captivity in Assyria in the 8th century BCE moved further east, because they didn't want to be a buffer to protect Assyria from their enemies any longer. So they first migrated to the region of present-day Afghanistan, and later ultimately towards Korea and Japan. There were three main routes taken to Korea: 1) through the Gobi Desert (roughly 40 percent didn't survive); 2) through China (some remained in China, particularly in Kaifeng); and 3) through India (some remained in India, Burma, Kashimir, and elsewhere).
Relatedly, in Tamilnadu, which is a region in the southern tip of India, there is a lullaby called "Ariro". It appears these folk songs sung in Korea and Tamilnadu probably had a common source, but perhaps one or both have altered over time. It is not so farfetched to think that a song about "ari" - exemplified by the Messianic "lion" which Yeshua turned out to be - would have become a song sung to babies at bedtime, much the same as some Christian parents still sing songs about Jesus to their children today. If we supposed that both "Arirang" and "Ariro" are about the Messiah, of whom prophecies were uttered to the first human progenitors, Adam and Eve; then such a profound hope would easily explain its great appeal and great longevity to survive so many centuries. Moreover, if such songs are at least partly based on prophecies found in the above quoted passage in Yeremiyah, they might date to BCE times when some of the ancestors were journeying from Israel to Korea!
Incidentally, there is a Japanese version of this folk song, but in Japan, it is sometimes sung as "Ariran" rather than "Arirang". It appears based on the above analysis, that "Ariran" might be closer to the original pronunciation than "Arirang".
