one of THE best vocalists in the world. period. hope you guys watch more of her lives she’s insane! i recommend some of her other famous performances like ‘I Will Always Love You’ and ‘Arirang’ (a must)
"Arirang" is gorgeous. Find a video with subtitles. "Everyone" is her most impressive (again, find one with subtitles in English, throughout!) "Lean on me" is almost as long and impressive, and it's in English. Her take on "I have nothing" is worth a watch, too.
@@hermanrobak1285 eng.subtitles of ARIRANG ALONE, refer to below. If we want to know Sohyang's singing ability well, we have to listen to her more songs to understand her. You don't have to worry about copyrights too much when you react to Sohyang songs from KBS broadcasters. And be careful about songs from MBC, JTBC, and SBS broadcasters. The Korean broadcasters except KBS of the original videos are sometimes very strict about copyright, but when you use clips from vimeo with some filtering on screen, then there should be no problem. And When listening to Sohyang's Korean songs that require English subtitles, it is recommended to watch them on Vimeo. Sohyang (소향) - How To Pronounce? ...

"Arirang Alone" you mean, right? Arirang and Arirang Alone are different songs..and I know she sang Arirang Alone in Immortal Songs 2. Anyway it's beautiful song indeed.
So Hyang is a 43 years old, devout Christian and gospel singer from South Korea. In her early 20's and newly married, she was diagnosed with uterine cancer, which left her unable to have children. After being healed by God, So Hyang's goal has been to use her voice to bring comfort to people who are experiencing difficult times. She is not motivated by either money or fame. She has rejected numerous offers from major record labels. She does not have a social media platforms. She also lectures about song and vocal technique at a South Korean university.
She is one of the best vocalist in this generation. She always shows the best performance on the live stage. Her song always touch the hearts of audience!! Every time she sings, that song becomes the best version.

I burst out laughing when you guys were talking about her being a delicate singer LOL! Because I knew she was going to hit you in the face in the next second! Good reaction.
Hi again guys. Thank you for reacting to Sohyang. Just below is the semi-short biography I promised you for when you did the review. I include a lot of links to Sohyang's other performances and, believe it or not, they are all just as good if not better! And these are all LIVE performances. As you no doubt know, doing a live performance that sounds like it was recorded in a studio is virtually impossible. But this is routine for Sohyang because she is a perfectionist and a colossal talent! In fact, we think she is the best female singer currently walking our planet! 😎
A warm welcome to the amazing world of Sohyang. One of the best female vocalists currently on the planet. Now you finally got introduced to her, continue the journey, because what you witnessed is just the tip of the iceberg. Thank you for the reaction..........................................................
We all wonder if Sohyang is human or from another planet. Current odds are that she’s from another planet, with an outside chance she’s actually an angel come down from Heaven. 😇 We have never heard anyone sing like her, or be able to hold an audience in the palm of her hand until she lets them go. Her voice is, as one person described it, like liquid gold. Perfection in clarity and pitch, and she doesn’t fade in the upper octaves, which is startling when you hear her hit those 5th and 6th octave notes with such _POWER_ it actually gives everyone goose bumps-and makes us bald guys’ hair stand on end! As she says, her voice “is from God.” She does all the musical arrangements herself, with the input of her in-law family and musical assistants, teaches vocal technique at a South Korean university and speaks five languages: Korean, English, French, Vietnamese and Chinese, as well as reading Greek! Let me catch my breath. OK. She is a cancer survivor from uterine cancer at the age of 20, just after getting married, and states very plainly that God saved her life due to the prayers of her church. But this left her without the ability to have children so she decided to dedicate her life to being a Contemporary Christian Gospel singer and has refused recording contracts from the biggest corporations in the world. She only wants to sing for charities, churches and while doing missionary work, to strengthen those suffering through difficult times. David Foster, Josh Groban, Michael Bolton and others have all eagerly worked with her when they were in Asia. She contracted hepatitis B from a blood transfusion during her cancer surgery and it clings to her to this day. Because of this she is prone to catching pneumonia but has sang perfectly while suffering from it in her live performance of “You Raise Me Up” before Shane Filan of Westlife on South Korean TV: czcams.com/video/te_L9ofhUt8/video.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 43 on April 5, 2021, though in Korean culture she would be 44 because you are deemed to be one year old when you are born. She was about 37 when she sang this version of “Arirang Alone”, their unofficial national anthem based on a 600 year old folk song expressing their desire to reunify north and south: vimeo.com/308253527 After being sick with pneumonia eight times from 2016 through to 2020, and considering giving up singing altogether, she decided to enter a televised singing contest called “King of the Masked Singers” in 2017 and won six consecutive times, which has catapulted her into international attention from the performances being posted on CZcams. Whitney Houston’s former manager saw her on CZcams and showed her to Oprah Winfrey, who brought her to David Foster’s attention. Foster then contacted Sohyang and went to Japan in order to have her perform eight concerts with him at Tokyo’s famous Blue Note Club in late-2018. For those who don't know, David Foster was Whitney Houston's producer for her albums, wrote "I Have Nothing", her most iconic song, and is probably the most famous and influential music producer in the world. He places Sohyang right beside Whitney and the rest of the top tier divas. Here is the interview where Sohyang related the events: czcams.com/video/EqeE_1nP-Kk/video.html (Be sure to turn on English subtitles.) Here is the version of “I Have Nothing” Oprah, David Foster, Whitney's former manager and the rest watched on CZcams: czcams.com/video/T4UyIMkdy4M/video.html She preceded it with this blockbuster: vimeo.com/312061203 She could be an international Super Star if she wanted to be but has decided that it would ruin her spiritually, quoting Proverbs 14:12 “There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death.” In a South Korean television interview Sohyang conceded that she struggled with her desire for fame for a number of years, going into the basement in her home numerous times and closing the door so she could complain vehemently to God that He was holding her back from becoming famous due to her health problems and other unforeseeable events. Then she later saw a Korean TV drama where the talented daughter of a very successful businessman was positive she would take over when her father retired. But he left the management of the company to a woman she hated, so she had a fit and lay kicking and screaming on the floor. Sohyang says she saw herself in that young woman and then understood that God was keeping her from developing self-destructive character by withholding international celebrity status from her. czcams.com/video/rl-jX9kBsEs/video.html (Again, turn on English subtitles.) So as a consequence she does not pursue fame or fortune and actually has no social media presence whatsoever. What can one say about such a person? She is a literal Wonder Woman! And we need about a billion more just like her! On Oct. 5, 2020, it was revealed that Sohyang turned down _yet another_ contract offer, this time from Sony Music US. www.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20200921000995 “Debuting in [the] US was my utmost goal for the past 20 years. But when I got a call from the US agency, I politely rejected, as I realized that what I wanted most was not becoming famous,” she said. “I think singers are very susceptible to arrogance, especially when they hear the screaming from crowds on stage. It can make you feel like as if you’ve become God.” “And I’m perfectly okay with sharing my music via CZcams, which can reach tens of millions of people all over the world without making me feel stuck up. Maybe that’s why I was born in this era.” Sohyang is just the most amazing singer, Christian and human being. She is beautiful both inside and out, and so humble and genuine, with a stage charisma, facial expressions and smile that is off the charts. In Korean dictionaries 소향--Sohyang--has several meanings. • First is a type of Korean traditional music. • Second is to burn incense on a burner. • Third is to go toward. But these meanings are rarely used today. Sohyang is also the name of a heroine in a Korean traditional novel. Yet for the definitive answer Sohyang has stated in an interview that her name means "enjoy the light." Please analyze her performance of “Bridge Over Troubled Water”: czcams.com/video/C6iHh4yBxCo/video.html Also, please react to her version of “The Power of Love”: czcams.com/video/LrNkVRrK7_I/video.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: czcams.com/video/GvsgCllcNPE/video.html Wait until you see her duet of David Foster's “The Prayer” with Jeong Ui Geu: czcams.com/video/rte-q3kunp8/video.html Her performance of "Fate" in Korean requires no translation: vimeo.com/198161448 And finally “Will You Be There”: czcams.com/video/nBdSpexUxik/video.html Here’s an English language interview with her that I’m sure you will enjoy: czcams.com/video/N2u_pmoWxj8/video.html Her English is perfect when she sings and almost perfect when she is doing interviews. OK, I’ll stop gushing now. Well, one more gush. In an interview with a Turkish music producer Sohyang's assistants revealed (a bit to her chagrin, as she is a self-effacing person) that she can hit Eb7 and D7 in practise. However, she never goes above the 6th octave in performances. Since she starts at D3 that is more than a 4 octave range ... so how about them apples???! Here it is: czcams.com/video/VnPAkryrygQ/video.html I know, bananas isn’t it? Oh, I just remembered, she is also a published fantasy novelist and has a theological treatise on the Book of Revelation in print. In addition, she is a very good stage actress, which she proved by playing Julie Andrews’ part in the South Korean production of “The Sound of Music.” Moreover, she sang the “Moana” part in the Korean version of the Disney film, does the musical vocals for many South Korean television dramas, and is a talented artist and cartoonist. She taught herself English by watching Disney's "The Little Princess" "about one hundred times" when she was just a kid, speaks English with a _perfect_ North American accent and has a bubbly personality. She can also play the piano and guitar. Is there anything this genius level woman can’t do? Ironically, Sohyang stated in another interview that both she and her in-law family were surprised to discover that she could sing so excellently! Though she is less than 5' 4" and only about 100 pounds, Sohyang simply transcends the thresholds of music and takes you there with her. She becomes the song when she sings it, and then re-emerges when she is done. An experience like no other. I don’t know what else to say. I’ve spent _entire days_ listening to her, and shed more than a few tears of joy along the way. I really must also compliment the choir, orchestra and audio/video production people Sohyang works with. They are all top notch from what I can see and hear, and that is important to note as these are _essential_ elements of any great musical production. The Korean people are easily as talented as anyone else. As you can see, I am a shameless fan. 😉
Suggested start off list for Sohyang: I Have Nothing DMC festival Arirang Alone from Immortal Songs 2 (IS2) You Raise me Up (IS2) Everyone (IS2) Lean on me (IS2) I Will always Love You (begin Again Korea) Oh Holy Night (I am A singer purple dress version not white, she was sick in white)
Welcome to Sohyang's world, you have uncovered the treasure of South Korea. Sohyang may look and sound delicate but she is one strong lady, she is a cancer survivor who has battled bouts of pneumonia for years, that and her faith are why she stays an independent artist.
Kim is a phenomenal vocalist. Now 43 (dosn't look it) she is at the top of her game and you can see how she has mastered her craft. She can hold her own with anyone in this genre, its not Jazz (Angelina) or pop (Daneliya) but this beautiful area in between.
Eight years following this Amazing, Kind,Humble,Christian Highly Talented, Passionate Lady! She is a Force of Nature and so flexible, she sings a little Jazz,R&B,Pop,Rock,Theatre and even did a Korean Rap song called Day,Day! Had a lot of health battles but so far has prevailed over all , Cancer, Hepatitis, and 8 serious bouts of Pneumonia over a 4 1/2 year span( which almost had here calling it quits). She Performed one of her most popular songs while not fully recovered from a bout of the dreaded lung disease, the song was her take on ,”You Raise Me Up”. I was not the only one impressed as the man who wrote the lyrics for the original song "You Raise Me Up" Song by Secret Garden from the album Once in a Red Moon Released 26 March 2002 Length 5:04 Label Decca Composer(s) Rolf Løvland Lyricist(s) Brendan Graham Brendan Has stated he loved her version so much he has promised to write an song For SoHyang to record! You said let’s do some Gospel, so let’s ! Everyone is sung in Korean and English which only adds to the difficulty of this 7 1/2 minute vocal Monster of a song! SoHyang admitted this was the most difficult song she ever sang( though I believe a song she wrote,” Dream “ must be up there but not near as lengthy) There are parts we’re finding a place to breath is very difficult ! Everyone vimeo.com/249195615
Sohyang’s voice is perfection, not exaggerating, like she’s literally the peak of what singers could hope to accomplish 😂 pls check out her performances of I Have Nothing, Arirang Alone, and Everyone; she will blow you away each time
Welcome to the world of SoHyang~!!! She is CCM/GOSPEL SINGER of South KOREA and cancer survivor. . She is one of the greatest vocalist in the world.But She wasn't known as well as popular because She sing for GOD and Comfort people who has hardtime Not for fame or money. ..In her youth, she turned down all offers from mega agencies for her beliefs...and now she is 44years old. .She has so many legendary live performances . She always sings with sincerity whenever and wherever. So it comforts those who listen to her song...That's why I love her...And her singing skills are the best, not to mention... This performance is just tip of iceberg.. . Thanks for your reaction of Queen Sohyang ♥
@Pavel Suvorov What a lovely voice she has and she can really take off too. Very interesting, we will see what else we can discover. Have a great weekend
Gentlemen, GREAT/AWESOME reaction/analysis of the 8th Wonder Of The World. So Hyang. You have just made one of the best investments of your time by reacting to her. This MASTER CLASS performance showcases only a small fraction of the flexibility in her voice. So Hyang's vocal range is RIDICULOUS and her breath control is INSANE. Vocal coach reactors and opera singer reactors agree, So Hyang's technique is FLAWLESS and EFFORTLESS. So Hyang, along with her husband, and assistants, arranges all of the music for her live performances. So Hyang is BRILLIANT in every genre she sings, including rock and rap ('Day Day', from the Begin Again Korea, mini concerts in 2020). So Hyang can spit bars like she has been rapping all of her life.
Hi there, Simon and Garfunkel are my hubby’s favorite group, and this is his favorite song. Sohyang, sang this so beautifully. I don’t think anyone can compare to S&G original, but this truly was a beautiful version. Hope to hear more from her. Great upload 👏👏👏👏👏

You guys should watch a few reaction & analysis videos by real vocal coaches, session singers & musicians, and producers to learn the differences between chest voice, head voice, and mixed voice; register transitions; dynamics; voice control for airy/ethereal, classic, gospel, jazz, etc. Only then can you truly appreciate why Sohyang, as a world-class technical vocalist, is considered to be the Queen, just as Dimash is called the King. Some good analysts are: That Singing Show; The Charismatic Voice; Julia Nilon; Nina Schofield; John Henny Vocal Studio; Tara Simon Studios; Sam Johnson; Sing with Emma today; collabstreet; Danielle Marie Sings. After you watch their expert assessments of "Bridge Over Troubled Water" by Sohyang, you'll be better equipped to review her performances of "I Have Nothing", "Arirang Alone", "Lean On Me", "You Raise Me Up", "Everyone", ... The more you understand about voice & singing, the more you realize how amazingly skillful Sohyang is.
World class vocalist. She has a song called 'Everyone' which she sings in a mix of her native Korean, and some English. It's a very emotional performance which underlines her path to help and comfort people. It is an absolute masterclass and every time I hear it moves me and I'm staggered by her vocal stamina!
God of Voice, Our Queen (Korea Sohyang) has a better live performance than the record and a beautiful heart! He is the best singer whose voice is an instrument.
She is a master of mix voice, she has a very powerful belty voice as well, not just that soft angel kind of being that you want to hug all the time. She is one of the best vocalist in the world now. This is just tip of iceberg. I have nothing /DMC festival/ Lean on me /Immortal song 2 in front of Michael Bulton/
LOVED reaction & ♥️ SoHyang 💯 Had to giggle a bit at your surprise, when she opened up. She’s a real soul singer imo, who SLAYS & leaves ya feeling good! ♥️ THX’s
@Jungwook Hahn They don't understand singing and emotional singing. Plus, they are English, so this was good for them. I won't watch them again though.
Don't be too harsh on these 2 mates. Everyone has a different value system. She's a 10 easily to many of us but historically thinking a 9.3 from this guy is probably very good. In the end my appreciation of her isn't dictated by anyone else.
It's just spectacular. What an amazing performance. She is an incredible vocalist. I don't know what to say anymore. I can only say Wow. Thank you so much for great reaction. Absolutely I agree with you. Please more react to Sohyang. Have a nice day.
Gents, glad you got to give it a go with Sohyang. She is my favorite singer by a long shot, and there are many great singers out there. She brings exquisite technical precision and phenomenal power to her performances, but it's her delivery of the emotional message that sets her apart.
Thanks guys for sharing her with your world! She’s just a lovely person and we need more of her in our world these days. If you want to try full “gospel”, please react to her rendition of “everyone” and i’ll be dammed if you didn’t give it 100 out of 10. Cheers
Well done again, mates! This is as good a cover as you will ever hear...until her next one. lol You Raise Me Up will also knock your socks off. This should push you over the 35k subs mark, congrats and cheers!
Sohyang starting as an angel and turning into a beast is what she does. :D us fans were listening to your 'so delicate' thinking ahmm, just you wait. 🤣
Well, that was nice. VERY nice. I had a feeling she would be a belter. I'm always seeing reactions to her in my feed, but I've been waiting because I knew you'd get to her eventually. Anyway, interested in following along with you. Cheers m'dears!
Hey Guys (Brits) Dimash is King and Sohyang is Queen of Vocals :) You have some catching up to do you probably have a lot of recommendations keep going :)
@zgadgets Hello and thank you for the comment. We have done quite a few reactions to Dimash and we have more from Sohyang coming soon. Thanks for watching
Thanks for the reaction!! In my opinion, she is the best of women and Dimash the best of men... Please more reactions from her, she deserves so much!! I advise following this order: Arirang Alone ( czcams.com/video/zFyndK9VOCk/video.html ) v You Raise me up ( czcams.com/video/te_L9ofhUt8/video.html ) i Everyone ( czcams.com/video/H5e7MPre7iY/video.html ) If you want to see it with subtitles, look at------> m Lean on me ( czcams.com/video/GvsgCllcNPE/video.html ) e Dear Love(my love) [mask] ( czcams.com/video/2HI2uD21rMI/video.html ) o Oh Holy night ( czcams.com/video/YwgF3Gylu-0/video.html )...... Misty ( czcams.com/video/_ivvpK3UMlw/video.html ) Where are you ( czcams.com/video/G4unJbVVOko/video.html ) Hug!
What else has she done? It's more like what hasn't she done. Her real talent besides her insane vocals, is the way she touches the hearts and souls of much of her listeners. This clip shows how much she commits to the songs she chooses. By the she also arranges and in most cases leads the production of her music. There are a number of behind the scene videos of her working with musicians and background singers to deliver her version of the song.

REFER TO HER AS 'QUEEN SOHYANG' AND WE WILL CONSIDER SUBCRIBING.................................................................................................................................................................................................
Delicate and fragile is a perfect description! Just wish the background wasn't quite so loud. Oops, maybe not always so delicate. That came out of left field didn't it?
CZcams recommended this channel and I was searching reactors to react to Forestella. And you have a playlist for Bohemian Rhapsody covers? What a destiny! You need to see Forestella's Bohemian Rhapsody cover. It's a grand tribute for Queen while adding their own touch as well! They have (Forestella is a crossover vocal quartet) also Scarborough Fair cover and Ed Sheeran's Shape of You cover. If you try, you will thank me!
@Mana Ciel Hello and welcome to our channel, we hope you will enjoy it, we go all over the place looking for new artists we have never heard of before. We do have a reaction to ForeStella coming very soon. Thanks for the comment
@@BritPopsReact Thank you for your quick reply! Universal Music Classics channel has their Bohemian Rhapsody live stage clip (for the live concert DVD/video KIT promotion). I'll be waiting for your reaction to Forestella! As much as you love Queen's original, you will love Forestella's version. I was like 'How dare to think a never-heard group covering this masterpiece of Queen?' before watching,.. and now I am requesting reaction to Forestella all over the reaction channels like this! See why. ASAP please🙏
@Faith Reasons Hello to you. Did you have a Marathon BPR viewing session? Hope you are OK after all those videos 😁😁 Thanks for taking the time to watch them and there was quite a mixture in that lot. Some good, some nahhhh. Let's see where we go next. Hope you are enjoy all the Home Free reactions and not a sandwich in sight.. 👍🙂👍👍🙂👍
I have just listened to your Rush reaction so I went looking at the other acts you have reacted to. I think it is great to see how well you have covered a lot of female vocalists but I am surprised you haven't reacted to Faouzia yet. Must reactors listen to the stripped versions of her songs because they highlight her vocal skills (i.e. "Tears of Gold" or "Elon") but her more poppish official videos are good as well. i.e. "Tears of gold", "Hero" and "Puppet" or her collab with John Legend on "Minefields".
exceptionnel!!!!je l'ai écoutée au moins 50 fois, et elle me fait toujours le même effet, c'est à dire je frissonne...
She famously turned down a record contract offered to her by Sony Records in 2020.
This song isn't even half of what she's capable of.
one of THE best vocalists in the world. period. hope you guys watch more of her lives she’s insane! i recommend some of her other famous performances like ‘I Will Always Love You’ and ‘Arirang’ (a must)
"Arirang" is gorgeous. Find a video with subtitles.
"Everyone" is her most impressive (again, find one with subtitles in English, throughout!)
"Lean on me" is almost as long and impressive, and it's in English.
Her take on "I have nothing" is worth a watch, too.
@@hermanrobak1285 eng.subtitles of ARIRANG ALONE, refer to below.
If we want to know Sohyang's singing ability well, we have to listen to her more songs to understand her. You don't have to worry about copyrights too much when you react to Sohyang songs from KBS broadcasters. And be careful about songs from MBC, JTBC, and SBS broadcasters. The Korean broadcasters except KBS of the original videos are sometimes very strict about copyright, but when you use clips from vimeo with some filtering on screen, then there should be no problem. And When listening to Sohyang's Korean songs that require English subtitles, it is recommended to watch them on Vimeo. Sohyang (소향) - How To Pronounce? ...

I personally think this is the ultimate version
"Arirang Alone" you mean, right? Arirang and Arirang Alone are different songs..and I know she sang Arirang Alone in Immortal Songs 2. Anyway it's beautiful song indeed.
@@manaciel Indeed, "Arirang Alone".
So Hyang is a 43 years old, devout Christian and gospel singer from South Korea. In her early 20's and newly married, she was diagnosed with uterine cancer, which left her unable to have children. After being healed by God, So Hyang's goal has been to use her voice to bring comfort to people who are experiencing difficult times. She is not motivated by either money or fame. She has rejected numerous offers from major record labels. She does not have a social media platforms. She also lectures about song and vocal technique at a South Korean university.
Healed by god lol
What are you 5 yrs old?
She is brilliant and beautiful inside out ❤️
So Hyang is a 10 in my view, she is perfection
Next is YOU RAISE ME UP!
She is one of the best vocalist in this generation.
She always shows the best performance on the live stage.
Her song always touch the hearts of audience!!
Every time she sings, that song becomes the best version.

Best version of this song ever. Queen Sohyang killed this.
I burst out laughing when you guys were talking about her being a delicate singer LOL! Because I knew she was going to hit you in the face in the next second! Good reaction.
@Dale Buck
Ah yes, we sure got caught out on that one.
Thanks for watching
Hi again guys. Thank you for reacting to Sohyang. Just below is the semi-short biography I promised you for when you did the review. I include a lot of links to Sohyang's other performances and, believe it or not, they are all just as good if not better! And these are all LIVE performances. As you no doubt know, doing a live performance that sounds like it was recorded in a studio is virtually impossible. But this is routine for Sohyang because she is a perfectionist and a colossal talent! In fact, we think she is the best female singer currently walking our planet! 😎
❤️Sohyang is my female Queen of Singers!!! There is no performance of hers that doesn't touch me either emotional or souls! ❤️
Arguably best female vocalist in the world. A thrill ride listening to her epic covers!
A warm welcome to the amazing world of Sohyang. One of the best female vocalists currently on the planet. Now you finally got introduced to her, continue the journey, because what you witnessed is just the tip of the iceberg. Thank you for the reaction..........................................................
We all wonder if Sohyang is human or from another planet. Current odds are that she’s from another planet, with an outside chance she’s actually an angel come down from Heaven. 😇 We have never heard anyone sing like her, or be able to hold an audience in the palm of her hand until she lets them go. Her voice is, as one person described it, like liquid gold. Perfection in clarity and pitch, and she doesn’t fade in the upper octaves, which is startling when you hear her hit those 5th and 6th octave notes with such _POWER_ it actually gives everyone goose bumps-and makes us bald guys’ hair stand on end! As she says, her voice “is from God.” She does all the musical arrangements herself, with the input of her in-law family and musical assistants, teaches vocal technique at a South Korean university and speaks five languages: Korean, English, French, Vietnamese and Chinese, as well as reading Greek!
Let me catch my breath. OK.
She is a cancer survivor from uterine cancer at the age of 20, just after getting married, and states very plainly that God saved her life due to the prayers of her church. But this left her without the ability to have children so she decided to dedicate her life to being a Contemporary Christian Gospel singer and has refused recording contracts from the biggest corporations in the world. She only wants to sing for charities, churches and while doing missionary work, to strengthen those suffering through difficult times. David Foster, Josh Groban, Michael Bolton and others have all eagerly worked with her when they were in Asia.
She contracted hepatitis B from a blood transfusion during her cancer surgery and it clings to her to this day. Because of this she is prone to catching pneumonia but has sang perfectly while suffering from it in her live performance of “You Raise Me Up” before Shane Filan of Westlife on South Korean TV: czcams.com/video/te_L9ofhUt8/video.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 43 on April 5, 2021, though in Korean culture she would be 44 because you are deemed to be one year old when you are born. She was about 37 when she sang this version of “Arirang Alone”, their unofficial national anthem based on a 600 year old folk song expressing their desire to reunify north and south: vimeo.com/308253527
After being sick with pneumonia eight times from 2016 through to 2020, and considering giving up singing altogether, she decided to enter a televised singing contest called “King of the Masked Singers” in 2017 and won six consecutive times, which has catapulted her into international attention from the performances being posted on CZcams.
Whitney Houston’s former manager saw her on CZcams and showed her to Oprah Winfrey, who brought her to David Foster’s attention. Foster then contacted Sohyang and went to Japan in order to have her perform eight concerts with him at Tokyo’s famous Blue Note Club in late-2018. For those who don't know, David Foster was Whitney Houston's producer for her albums, wrote "I Have Nothing", her most iconic song, and is probably the most famous and influential music producer in the world. He places Sohyang right beside Whitney and the rest of the top tier divas.
Here is the interview where Sohyang related the events: czcams.com/video/EqeE_1nP-Kk/video.html (Be sure to turn on English subtitles.)
Here is the version of “I Have Nothing” Oprah, David Foster, Whitney's former manager and the rest watched on CZcams: czcams.com/video/T4UyIMkdy4M/video.html
She preceded it with this blockbuster: vimeo.com/312061203
She could be an international Super Star if she wanted to be but has decided that it would ruin her spiritually, quoting Proverbs 14:12 “There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death.”
In a South Korean television interview Sohyang conceded that she struggled with her desire for fame for a number of years, going into the basement in her home numerous times and closing the door so she could complain vehemently to God that He was holding her back from becoming famous due to her health problems and other unforeseeable events. Then she later saw a Korean TV drama where the talented daughter of a very successful businessman was positive she would take over when her father retired. But he left the management of the company to a woman she hated, so she had a fit and lay kicking and screaming on the floor. Sohyang says she saw herself in that young woman and then understood that God was keeping her from developing self-destructive character by withholding international celebrity status from her. czcams.com/video/rl-jX9kBsEs/video.html (Again, turn on English subtitles.)
So as a consequence she does not pursue fame or fortune and actually has no social media presence whatsoever.
What can one say about such a person? She is a literal Wonder Woman! And we need about a billion more just like her!
On Oct. 5, 2020, it was revealed that Sohyang turned down _yet another_ contract offer, this time from Sony Music US. www.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20200921000995
“Debuting in [the] US was my utmost goal for the past 20 years. But when I got a call from the US agency, I politely rejected, as I realized that what I wanted most was not becoming famous,” she said.
“I think singers are very susceptible to arrogance, especially when they hear the screaming from crowds on stage. It can make you feel like as if you’ve become God.”
“And I’m perfectly okay with sharing my music via CZcams, which can reach tens of millions of people all over the world without making me feel stuck up. Maybe that’s why I was born in this era.”
Sohyang is just the most amazing singer, Christian and human being. She is beautiful both inside and out, and so humble and genuine, with a stage charisma, facial expressions and smile that is off the charts.
In Korean dictionaries 소향--Sohyang--has several meanings.
• First is a type of Korean traditional music.
• Second is to burn incense on a burner.
• Third is to go toward.
But these meanings are rarely used today. Sohyang is also the name of a heroine in a Korean traditional novel. Yet for the definitive answer Sohyang has stated in an interview that her name means "enjoy the light."

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: czcams.com/video/GvsgCllcNPE/video.html
Wait until you see her duet of David Foster's “The Prayer” with Jeong Ui Geu: czcams.com/video/rte-q3kunp8/video.html
Her performance of "Fate" in Korean requires no translation: vimeo.com/198161448
And finally “Will You Be There”: czcams.com/video/nBdSpexUxik/video.html
Here’s an English language interview with her that I’m sure you will enjoy: czcams.com/video/N2u_pmoWxj8/video.html Her English is perfect when she sings and almost perfect when she is doing interviews.
OK, I’ll stop gushing now.
Well, one more gush. In an interview with a Turkish music producer Sohyang's assistants revealed (a bit to her chagrin, as she is a self-effacing person) that she can hit Eb7 and D7 in practise. However, she never goes above the 6th octave in performances. Since she starts at D3 that is more than a 4 octave range ... so how about them apples???! Here it is: czcams.com/video/VnPAkryrygQ/video.html I know, bananas isn’t it?
Oh, I just remembered, she is also a published fantasy novelist and has a theological treatise on the Book of Revelation in print. In addition, she is a very good stage actress, which she proved by playing Julie Andrews’ part in the South Korean production of “The Sound of Music.” Moreover, she sang the “Moana” part in the Korean version of the Disney film, does the musical vocals for many South Korean television dramas, and is a talented artist and cartoonist. She taught herself English by watching Disney's "The Little Princess" "about one hundred times" when she was just a kid, speaks English with a _perfect_ North American accent and has a bubbly personality.
She can also play the piano and guitar. Is there anything this genius level woman can’t do? Ironically, Sohyang stated in another interview that both she and her in-law family were surprised to discover that she could sing so excellently!
Though she is less than 5' 4" and only about 100 pounds, Sohyang simply transcends the thresholds of music and takes you there with her. She becomes the song when she sings it, and then re-emerges when she is done. An experience like no other. I don’t know what else to say. I’ve spent _entire days_ listening to her, and shed more than a few tears of joy along the way.
I really must also compliment the choir, orchestra and audio/video production people Sohyang works with. They are all top notch from what I can see and hear, and that is important to note as these are _essential_ elements of any great musical production. The Korean people are easily as talented as anyone else.
As you can see, I am a shameless fan. 😉
Suggested start off list for Sohyang:
I Have Nothing DMC festival
Arirang Alone from Immortal Songs 2 (IS2)
You Raise me Up (IS2)
Everyone (IS2)
Lean on me (IS2)
I Will always Love You (begin Again Korea)
Oh Holy Night (I am A singer purple dress version not white, she was sick in white)
Thank you for the reaction.
Welcome to Sohyang's world~^^
Great performance~😇😍🥰👑
A warm welcome to Sohyang world.
Welcome to Sohyang's world, you have uncovered the treasure of South Korea.
Sohyang may look and sound delicate but she is one strong lady, she is a cancer survivor who has battled bouts of pneumonia for years, that and her faith are why she stays an independent artist.
Kim is a phenomenal vocalist. Now 43 (dosn't look it) she is at the top of her game and you can see how she has mastered her craft. She can hold her own with anyone in this genre, its not Jazz (Angelina) or pop (Daneliya) but this beautiful area in between.
리엑션 감사합니다.
우리소향님 세계각지에서 감동을 주시네~~
She is the best gospel singer in the world.
Eight years following this Amazing, Kind,Humble,Christian Highly Talented, Passionate Lady! She is a Force of Nature and so flexible, she sings a little Jazz,R&B,Pop,Rock,Theatre and even did a Korean Rap song called Day,Day! Had a lot of health battles but so far has prevailed over all , Cancer, Hepatitis, and 8 serious bouts of Pneumonia over a 4 1/2 year span( which almost had here calling it quits). She Performed one of her most popular songs while not fully recovered from a bout of the dreaded lung disease, the song was her take on ,”You Raise Me Up”. I was not the only one impressed as the man who wrote the lyrics for the original song
"You Raise Me Up"
Song by Secret Garden
from the album Once in a Red Moon
Released
26 March 2002
Length
5:04
Label
Decca
Composer(s)
Rolf Løvland
Lyricist(s)
Brendan Graham
Brendan Has stated he loved her version so much he has promised to write an song For SoHyang to record!
You said let’s do some Gospel, so let’s !
Everyone is sung in Korean and English which only adds to the difficulty of this 7 1/2 minute vocal Monster of a song! SoHyang admitted this was the most difficult song she ever sang( though I believe a song she wrote,” Dream “ must be up there but not near as lengthy) There are parts we’re finding a place to breath is very difficult !
Everyone
vimeo.com/249195615
Sohyang’s voice is perfection, not exaggerating, like she’s literally the peak of what singers could hope to accomplish 😂 pls check out her performances of I Have Nothing, Arirang Alone, and Everyone; she will blow you away each time
Welcome to the world of SoHyang~!!!
She is CCM/GOSPEL SINGER of South KOREA and cancer survivor. .
She is one of the greatest vocalist in the world.But She wasn't known as well as popular because She sing for GOD and Comfort people who has hardtime Not for fame or money. ..In her youth, she turned down all offers from mega agencies for her beliefs...and now she is 44years old. .She has so many legendary live performances .
She always sings with sincerity whenever and wherever. So it comforts those who listen to her song...That's why I love her...And her singing skills are the best, not to mention...
This performance is just tip of iceberg.. .
Thanks for your reaction of Queen Sohyang ♥
She's definitely from outer space.A voice of unearthly beauty.Thank you friends.Great reaction!👏👏👏🇷🇺
@Pavel Suvorov
What a lovely voice she has and she can really take off too.
Very interesting, we will see what else we can discover.
Have a great weekend
Gentlemen,
GREAT/AWESOME reaction/analysis of the 8th Wonder Of The World. So Hyang.
You have just made one of the best investments of your time by reacting to her. This MASTER CLASS performance showcases only a small fraction of the flexibility in her voice. So Hyang's vocal range is RIDICULOUS and her breath control is INSANE. Vocal coach reactors and opera singer reactors agree, So Hyang's technique is FLAWLESS and EFFORTLESS. So Hyang, along with her husband, and assistants, arranges all of the music for her live performances. So Hyang is BRILLIANT in every genre she sings, including rock and rap ('Day Day', from the Begin Again Korea, mini concerts in 2020). So Hyang can spit bars like she has been rapping all of her life.
Hi there, Simon and Garfunkel are my hubby’s favorite group, and this is his favorite song. Sohyang, sang this so beautifully. I don’t think anyone can compare to S&G original, but this truly was a beautiful version. Hope to hear more from her. Great upload 👏👏👏👏👏
Her cover of “Lean on Me” really showcases her soulful voice
Voice of a beautiful Angel. Your score dear fellows for this was well deserved 🎧🎶🎤
3:05 "Delicate" voice, you say. Dis gonna be gud!
"Lean on Me" next please by Sohyang Immortal Songs 2 Competition 🙏
Unbelievable performance 👏
Delicate? Wait and see!😝
She is one of the top vocalist in the world today without a doubt. Take care.
so hyang--bridge over troubled water/i have nothing/o holy night/arirang alone/everyone/upon this rock/us national anthem/hero/power of love/let it go/breathe/hug me/amazing grace/i will always love you/misty
You guys should watch a few reaction & analysis videos by real vocal coaches, session singers & musicians, and producers to learn the differences between chest voice, head voice, and mixed voice; register transitions; dynamics; voice control for airy/ethereal, classic, gospel, jazz, etc. Only then can you truly appreciate why Sohyang, as a world-class technical vocalist, is considered to be the Queen, just as Dimash is called the King.
Some good analysts are: That Singing Show; The Charismatic Voice; Julia Nilon; Nina Schofield; John Henny Vocal Studio; Tara Simon Studios; Sam Johnson; Sing with Emma today; collabstreet; Danielle Marie Sings.
After you watch their expert assessments of "Bridge Over Troubled Water" by Sohyang, you'll be better equipped to review her performances of "I Have Nothing", "Arirang Alone", "Lean On Me", "You Raise Me Up", "Everyone", ...
The more you understand about voice & singing, the more you realize how amazingly skillful Sohyang is.
World class vocalist. She has a song called 'Everyone' which she sings in a mix of her native Korean, and some English. It's a very emotional performance which underlines her path to help and comfort people. It is an absolute masterclass and every time I hear it moves me and I'm staggered by her vocal stamina!
God of Voice, Our Queen (Korea Sohyang)
has a better live performance than the record and a beautiful heart! He is the best singer whose voice is an instrument.
She is a master of mix voice, she has a very powerful belty voice as well, not just that soft angel kind of being that you want to hug all the time. She is one of the best vocalist in the world now. This is just tip of iceberg. I have nothing /DMC festival/ Lean on me /Immortal song 2 in front of Michael Bulton/
Is this just impressive??? 🤯🤯🤯
LOVED reaction & ♥️ SoHyang 💯 Had to giggle a bit at your surprise, when she opened up. She’s a real soul singer imo, who SLAYS & leaves ya feeling good! ♥️ THX’s
9.3? You two need hearing aids. That was the greatest performance of any song by any singer ever. Its an 11 you two HACKS.
Yeah I was stunned when they came up with 9.3. Like lifting a finger to gauge the weather. Hacks! Cheers.
@Jungwook Hahn They don't understand singing and emotional singing. Plus, they are English, so this was good for them. I won't watch them again though.
Don't be too harsh on these 2 mates. Everyone has a different value system. She's a 10 easily to many of us but historically thinking a 9.3 from this guy is probably very good. In the end my appreciation of her isn't dictated by anyone else.
Sound Of Heaven Yielding ANGel. Thank you for your professional analysis and excellent reactions.
I think that So Hyang is an alive angel and given gift from the God.
She always clean and wash up my dirty and stained spirit with her holy voice.
Hello bros .. ^.^
Thank you for letting her know
I was shocked when I first saw this performance :))
Next plz .. SoHyang's "Upon This Rock" ♡
Try her I will always love you version! Great reaction guys!
It's just spectacular.
What an amazing performance.
She is an incredible vocalist.
I don't know what to say anymore.
I can only say Wow.
Thank you so much for great reaction.
Absolutely I agree with you.
Please more react to Sohyang.
Have a nice day.
Gents, glad you got to give it a go with Sohyang. She is my favorite singer by a long shot, and there are many great singers out there. She brings exquisite technical precision and phenomenal power to her performances, but it's her delivery of the emotional message that sets her apart.
Thanks guys for sharing her with your world! She’s just a lovely person and we need more of her in our world these days. If you want to try full “gospel”, please react to her rendition of “everyone” and i’ll be dammed if you didn’t give it 100 out of 10. Cheers
Well done again, mates! This is as good a cover as you will ever hear...until her next one. lol You Raise Me Up will also knock your socks off. This should push you over the 35k subs mark, congrats and cheers!
Son Heong Min(Tottenham) and So hyang have a same nick name.. => It is they are just "Another Level"!!
Sohyang starting as an angel and turning into a beast is what she does. :D us fans were listening to your 'so delicate' thinking ahmm, just you wait. 🤣
Delicate went right out of the window and smashed on the street below.
the amazing thing is all her songs are at this level wow rare artist
Her song titled : Everyone
Sooo glad that you eventually got to Sohyang guys. She is divine! More please
She can rap and rock.... ❤❤❤
React her singing rap - *day day*
And rock- *mona Lisa*

Great cover of a fantastic song, this version doesn't create as much emotion as the original but it's still very good, cheers!
소향 최고
모리셋 최고
Well, that was nice. VERY nice. I had a feeling she would be a belter. I'm always seeing reactions to her in my feed, but I've been waiting because I knew you'd get to her eventually. Anyway, interested in following along with you.
Cheers m'dears!
Hey Guys (Brits) Dimash is King and Sohyang is Queen of Vocals :) You have some catching up to do you probably have a lot of recommendations keep going :)

Thanks for watching
She is the queen!! Her, Dimash, and Angelina Jordan are my holy trinity haha
Sohyang 'dear love' please~~
💖💖💖
👌👌👌
So hyang👌👌
Strange. She has never gotten below a 10. Well, the English are a little laid back so that's a pretty good score.
Thanks for your reactions guys. We all want her and Dimash singing together. Guess why.... Regards from Spain
please react to 'You raise me up' cover of Sohyang~~~it's a bop!!!
Thanks for the reaction!! In my opinion, she is the best of women and Dimash the best of men...
Please more reactions from her, she deserves so much!! I advise following this order:

Brit pops: "very delicate...delicate, yes, that's the word."
Us: heh, heh...wait for it.
@Kalani Makua
LOL, yes indeed, she caught us by surprise on that one.
Thanks for watching
What else has she done? It's more like what hasn't she done. Her real talent besides her insane vocals, is the way she touches the hearts and souls of much of her listeners. This clip shows how much she commits to the songs she chooses. By the she also arranges and in most cases leads the production of her music. There are a number of behind the scene videos of her working with musicians and background singers to deliver her version of the song.

I do not think you quite get the brilliance she sings with. You are part of the very very few. Thanks for reacting.
Delicate and fragile is a perfect description! Just wish the background wasn't quite so loud. Oops, maybe not always so delicate. That came out of left field didn't it?
@Lynn Soeth
Well, we were not expecting that either, Sohyang sure can belt it when required.
Very interesting.
Very Briish reaction 😂
Folk song Arirang/ Alone live
Alone / Arriang live lets loose more . Old Korean song she rearranged for orchestra backing.
Loved your reaction, I would recommend "I have nothing" another amazing one. 🙏👍
영국식 억양이 너무 듣기 좋고
고급스런 두분 목소리 좋네요👍
소향은 우리의 보물이죠 ^^🇰🇷💛
CZcams recommended this channel and I was searching reactors to react to Forestella. And you have a playlist for Bohemian Rhapsody covers? What a destiny! You need to see Forestella's Bohemian Rhapsody cover. It's a grand tribute for Queen while adding their own touch as well! They have (Forestella is a crossover vocal quartet) also Scarborough Fair cover and Ed Sheeran's Shape of You cover. If you try, you will thank me!
@Mana Ciel
Hello and welcome to our channel, we hope you will enjoy it, we go all over the place looking for new artists we have never heard of before.
We do have a reaction to ForeStella coming very soon.
Thanks for the comment
@@BritPopsReact Thank you for your quick reply! Universal Music Classics channel has their Bohemian Rhapsody live stage clip (for the live concert DVD/video KIT promotion). I'll be waiting for your reaction to Forestella! As much as you love Queen's original, you will love Forestella's version. I was like 'How dare to think a never-heard group covering this masterpiece of Queen?' before watching,.. and now I am requesting reaction to Forestella all over the reaction channels like this! See why. ASAP please🙏
Awesome reaction guys. She had neumonia when she sang that song. So it's incredible. Please react to I am nothing by sohyang. You will love it
👍🙂👍
@Faith Reasons
Hello to you.
Did you have a Marathon BPR viewing session?
Hope you are OK after all those videos 😁😁
Thanks for taking the time to watch them and there was quite a mixture in that lot.
Some good, some nahhhh.
Let's see where we go next.
Hope you are enjoy all the Home Free reactions and not a sandwich in sight..
👍🙂👍👍🙂👍
Hi BP2! 👋. I did! 😅
👍👍👍
I have just listened to your Rush reaction so I went looking at the other acts you have reacted to. I think it is great to see how well you have covered a lot of female vocalists but I am surprised you haven't reacted to Faouzia yet. Must reactors listen to the stripped versions of her songs because they highlight her vocal skills (i.e. "Tears of Gold" or "Elon") but her more poppish official videos are good as well. i.e. "Tears of gold", "Hero" and "Puppet" or her collab with John Legend on "Minefields".
♥️♥️👍👍
