So Hyang is in her own lane. You can't compare her to anyone. Nobody out there can touch your soul and make you feel the emotions like So Hyang can.
Welcome to Sohyang world ❤. Keep going with this AMAZING woman, you just touched the surface, go deep🙂. MY opinion, she is the best vocalist, performer, person, that has ever walked this planet. My suggestions, Bridge Over Troubled Water, You Raise Me Up, I Have Nothing, Lean On Me, Her masterpiece called Everyone. All on Immortal Songs. She is an angel 😇, a Gift from God. Also check out her stuff on the Begin Again Korea series. She is...EPIC. Awesome reaction! 👍
Agreed! I discovered her last year and just can't get enough.
Best female voice on the planet! Thanks for the reaction!
Welcome to Sohyang world
more sohyng reaction
Will be reacting to more after the new year 😁
@@bignickofficial: Kim, So-hyang (김소향) is a South Korean singer. Her stage name is Sohyang (소향). She's up there with Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, and Celine Dion, according to David Foster, who worked with all of them, plus other big names in the music industry, such as Aretha Franklin, Barbra Streisand, and Michael Jackson. In fact, many vocal coaches and critics call her the Queen, and Dimash the King.
Here are several links to excellent performances by Sohyang. Many are from competitions where she pulls out all the stops and goes into vocal beast mode. The last 5 are more restrained. You can alternate between the styles, just to experience the contrasts and see her range of abilities.

BTW, Whitney's former manager saw the DMC Festival video of Sohyang singing "I Have Nothing", and contacted Oprah Winfrey, who in turn, contacted David Foster. They were all amazed. He invited her to sing on his tour in Asia. She did 8 shows in 4 days in Tokyo. Foster co-wrote that song. He arranged and produced it for Whitney for her album, and her performance in "The Bodyguard".
@bignickreacts
Let you know that it's already the new year...

Thanks from Perú
Thanks for the great reaction. Sohyang' Amazing performance.👏 👏 👏
So amazing! Goosebumps all over! Your reaction is quite emotional!
Welcome to Sohyang's world. She is one of the best female vocalists in the world. We can give you a long list of suggestions.
Songs she has done that you probably know would be:
"I have Nothing" DMC festival.
"Bridge over trouble Water" Immortal Songs 2
"I Will Always Love You" Begin Again Korea.
I do suggest using a filter as Korean broadcasters can be tough on copyright.
Arirang Alone is based on a very old folk song but its a more modern remake about the split and the longing they have for South and North Korea to be reunited.
Great reaction Nick. Her version of Bridge over troubled water is second to none and she takes the song to octaves it has never been to before. Any of her versions of Whitney Houston is stunning and beautiful. Raise me up, I have nothing, I will always love you.
Another top from Korea is a 4 male quartet called Forstella. They are a crossover group of 4 seasoned talented young men. Way better than K-pop. A good song to begin with is Scarborough Fair and or Sound of Silence. Then something radically different from them is Lazenca save us. A rock opera epic. Thank you and best to you.
The incomparable Sohyang.
Ник смотрю на тебя и улыбаюсь. 😄
😁 always 😁
This is a traditional Korean folk song but with the flair only So Hyang can put on a song. You should listen to I Have Nothing to see her perform in English.
nice reaction! Please react to vocal goddess Sohyang singing If I Aint Got You, I Will Always Love You (Begin Again version), Bridge Over Troubled Waters, Everyone, and Will You Be There (2010 version when she was in her early 30's)
Nick, thank you! The singer has a powerful and beautiful voice, I'd like to watch your reaction to another performance of this charming Korean woman.
Sohyang is an elite level vocalist in her own right and does not need to be compared to anyone. Thank you for the reaction and a warm welcome to the amazing world of Sohyang.
Привет Ник! Классная реакция! Тебе очень идут шапочки! Начало песни прям такое нежное! Мне напомнило песни из мультфильмов, там тоже принцессы красиво и нежно поют....
I agree it's like something out of a fairytale 😁
Nick, since no one else seems to have done, I'll give you a bit of info: your pronunciation of her name is correct, many can never say it. Arirang is a 400 year old traditional Korean folk song. You just scratched the surface. Sohyang can sing any genre she chooses. She does Pop songs like "I Have Nothing" which is mind blowing. Welcome to the World of Sohyang.
Cheers.
Oh really thankyou for letting me know ☺️ I always worry I pronounce new names I've not heard of wrong. Grateful you let me know 😁
Arirang mean is Kind people, hardships, adversity, missed, Lovesick, Nostalgic person.
Sound Of Heaven Yielding ANGel. Thank you for your professional analysis and excellent reaction.
Awesome reaction Nick! Her super clean voice with Bb5 was irreplaceable.. She is the Music!!😘

Arirang means "pretty and beautiful sir"
The meaning of crossing Arirang Pass means "a beautiful and beautiful sir crossing the pass."
Arirang is a traditional Korean song.
It is a traditional song that was sung in difficult times in the past.
Thank you for letting me know this it gives more meaning g to the song 😁✌️
@@bignickofficial To add to that, Arari's meaning is heartbreaking,It means lovesickness. I look forward to your more Sohyang's music reaction to music.😀

next everyone by sohyang✨
♥️
Hyang MONA LISA please play the song. Thank you.
Thank you so much~~~
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 44 on April 5, 2022, though in Korean culture she would be 45 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 some of her songs, wrote "I Have Nothing", her most iconic song, and is the most famous and influential music producer in the world. He places Sohyang right beside Whitney and the rest of the top tier divas.
Here is the interview where Sohyang related the events: 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." Her grandmother named her.
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 Mermaid" "about one hundred times" when she was just a kid, speaks English with a _perfect_ North American accent and has an outgoing and bubbly personality.
She can also play the piano and guitar. Is there anything this genius level woman can’t do? Ironically, Sohyang stated in another interview that both she and her in-law family were surprised to discover that she could sing so excellently!
Though she is 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. 😉
Thank you for the indepth comment I am thankful for this and grateful for your comment 🙏
@@bignickofficial You are welcome Nick. Sohyang is the greatest female singer in the world, but unknown in the West because she won't sign any record deals with the big labels, though they've all tried! She just doesn't want to be surrounded by the Hollywood lifestyle. She is so incredible in so many ways, as you'll find out! 🤔😉👌💘
Her "Bridge over troubled waters" is beautiful. And, yes phenomenal vocals. She'll never disappoint you. Actually, I think Henry Lau videos of him with guests (during Covid, so outside) might be OK for uploading. Henry is a Canadian Korean who speaks 12 Languages and plays dozens of instruments, sings, dances, composes, is a Mentor of young talent, and is a Restaurateur. There is at least one of him and So Hyang. And others with Lena Park "busking" in Italy. Another female singer worth seeing is... Chinese singer Jane Zhang doing "All of me" on Singer 2016. There's a Brit or American in the audience totally smitten. It was so good, John Legend played piano for her on a Concert.
Yes. This song is a traditional music of South Korea and North Korea.
and these slightly modified lyrics mean the reunification of North and South Korea.
Arirang is Korean traditional song with many different forms. Arirang is a name of actual as well as a symbolical hill. It could be a symbolism of a hill of hardship that a person or a nation of people must climb over and overcome the hardships of individual lives or hardships of the nation as a whole.
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!!

Although the etymology of Arirang is unknown, it is best known for its deep sadness and sense of loss.
It is a feeling that is difficult to express in English.

so good too :)
Hi, Nick!
Here is a suitable song for the next.
She performed, All I Want for Christmas is You, at the Open Concert last week.
czcams.com/video/tayauWmARCc/video.html
I keep rolling it back and listening to!
thank you for the reaction
Since you wanted to hear her sing songs that you would recognize, here are few, but there are far more.
Bridge Over Troubled Water - Simon&Garfunkel cover czcams.com/video/C6iHh4yBxCo/video.html
Lean on Me - Michael Bolton version cover czcams.com/video/GvsgCllcNPE/video.html
You Raise Me Up - West Life cover czcams.com/video/te_L9ofhUt8/video.html
So hyang is the greatest vocalist …Fight me
This is a 600 year old folk song about the reunification of Korea written when they were under the boot of Japan. For an idea of how terrible life was during the occupation look up "Korean comfort girls". When the Japanese forced young women to become prostitutes for the Japanese army. Nobody really knows what arirang means from what I understand because it has been lost in time but this is a very original version of the song by Sohyang. She does all of her arrangements with her husband. She is not only a bad ass singer, she is a successful science fiction writer. She is also a cancer survivor. She also contracted hepatitis from a blood transfusion. She could have any recording contract she wants but she chooses to use her voice to raise the spirits of the suffering and to sing for her church and the glory of God. I've seen professional opera singers be blown away at how impossible high she can sing in a full chest voice. All of them thought it was impossible until they heard Sohyang. Keep diving in. EVERYONE is her MASTERPIECE. The Vimeo version has English subs which you will want. Do that next. She's only sang it once as far as I can find because it's so difficult.
Next, Bridge Over Troubled Water (It's in English, from Immortal Songs ll) I have Nothing, also. Good place to continue then anything she sings.
Mariah who??
She is ome and only sohyang...
She is not Korean Mariah Carey. She is just Sohyang of Korea.
You pronounced her name perfectly. But... on Asian countries, the last name is said first, so for us, it would be last. For English speaking countries her name is SoHyang Kim. Kim being her last name. She is way better than Mariah.
Thank you for letting me know this. I will say her name like this from now on as I believe that is the correct way if her origin of country say it that way 😁✌️
그리고 소향은 아이돌이 아니야?ㅋㅋ
아델은 목소리만 좋지 가창력 고음은 솔직히 아니잖아? ㅋㅋ 솔직해지자 플로우 따지면 한참 아래면서ㅋㅋ 솔직해라ㅋ 아델만큼 목소리 좋은 한국가수도 많아
필리핀 가수도 아델보다 잘불르는 애들 많아 퀄이 떨어질뿐 비교를 해도 한국 가수는 프로는 다르다 소울이나 고음 비교할수 없다 ㅋ 허접한 곳에서 공연 하지도 않아
