Welcome to Sohyang's world. Arirang Alone is a very patriotic song about the longing for North and South Korea to be one. There are many different takes on this song, no two singers sing it alike.
@@Hattorin. The original folk song was called Arirang and is hundreds of years old. Arirang Alone was written in the 90's by a man who had to leave 2 gown children in North Korea. Or this is what I was told with an explanation of some of the lyrics. Quote: "Arirang represents the suffering and tribulation (Arirang 'Hill') overcome as people and the nation. If we’re together as one holding hands, we can make it over the hill. Arirang Alone is a modern adaptation (released in 1990) of the original song written in the hope of reunification of Koreas. It’s a song of hope and peace. It tells a fantasy of the Island of Dokdo floating in the East Sea all alone singing Arirang. If Dokdo sang Arirang, alone in the Eat Sea, would North and South reunite? Dokdo is islets centrally located between Mount Baekdu (in northern border of North Korea) and Mount Halla (in Jeju Island, South Korea). Let’s ride a boat together from Baekdu and Halla. When we dock our boats at Dokdo, we’ll witness a new dawn together. 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."
She is known as Mariah, Celine , Whitney of South Korea to many reactors! Sohyang is one of the best vocalist in the world we have right now. Her vocal technique is an Art! Please dive deep into her live performances you will know how great vocalist she is!
@@mahdifalahi5900that statement makes no sense, they could do things Sohyang can’t do and viceversa. As example, all the ladies in the Trinity had more core in the lower chest (C4-G4) quite consistently while Sohyang voice could get lost in that area. Not to mention that the trinity has way more agile voices than Sohyang and also a way better sense of pitch and musicality
She is the best female vocalist in this world. She is another level.

the first time i heard her sing this song i cried so hard bc you could feel the importance of the song whether there were lyrics or not she told the story so beautifully! i come back to it every once in awhile bc it's so breathtaking. thank you for reacting!
To answer your question, Arirang is obviously a folk song, but Sohyang is much more of a modern gospel singer than anything(as I'm sure you figured out once she started belting her ass off). If you want to hear a fun comparison between the two styles, Song Sohee, who I believe you've reacted to before has also done Arirang Alone and the contrast between their singing styles is really interesting.
Sohyang is such a legend! One of the best vocals in Korea! Her performance of Everyone is amazing. It’s one of the hardest songs she’s done vocally and skill wise I believe.
This is the first song I've heard from her... as i was practicing for our ARIRANG choir presentation for Korean visitors in our University ...that time I don't know she's the one who sung the "WIND SONG" one of my fave korean OST... she's one of my fave korean solo singers...
@@oahuhawaii2141 no, we just did it as choir version, the common way to sing Arirang and not her version... Her piece was sooo great for a solo ... As a singer myself I know her range is far from what I can sing.
Pansori, traditional Korean singing, makes me cry like a baby. I drive with a ytmusic kpop station, and Oneus has slapped me in the face a couple of times with Luna and Intro : 창 (窓 : Window), which both feature pansori, while I was driving and I had to pull over.
Don’t be lulled in to thinking that Sohyang is a traditional Korean singer because she isn’t. She is a gospel singer at heart but can literally sing any genre, which hopefully you are now going to discover four yourself, but it just happened to be that the theme of that show that week was ‘traditional’. If you are in any doubt just have a look at her tackling song usually associated with Whitney. I don’t think at this moment you have any idea that you have taken your 1st steps in to the world of Sohyang, IMO, along with so many others, the best female vocalist currently on the planet. A big statement I know but if you appreciate amazing vocals she will not disappoint you, because she never disappoints, she only has one level of performance & that is ‘amazing’. Welcome to the world of Sohyang my friend. Buckle up because you are about to embark on the ride of your life 👍
Oh yea! This is such a treat! I would love if you checked out her Fate, and Where are you. She was also on king of masked singer and just every performance was just so epic! Hug Me from that show is just fantastic! Oh, she also does a otherworldly version of Whitney Houston's "I have nothing"! Looking forward to seeing you delve deeper!
finally you got to hear her! She's insane. But to be fair, her most dangerous vocal performance might still be "Everyone" on Immortal Songs ^^ btw she can literally sing everything - traditional, pop, rock, even rap
Oh hell yeah!! Inmortal song has such gratis performance I recommend you to watch some of Ailee's perfornance those are FENOMENAL Plus sohyang is such a talented woman!
Fleck out her National Anthem in a NBA game, Whitney Houston’s I have nothing and Upon this Rock at Brooklyn Tabernacle church. You will be blown away..
If you've heard the original song of 'Arirang Alone', you can understand why everyone in the audience was so surprised that she changed the ballad into a different song entirely...
Hey, now. Go and listen to some traditional First Nations music. That shit gets me, too. And slave narratives, which I like to refer to as the original soul/gospel music, gets me! USA has a lot to be proud of.....Just not from those who stole it.
To give this song some context, this song was sung by prisoners of war during the war with Japan who were being led over Arirang hill to be massacred. and during the Korean civil war. It was to encourage everyone's heart.

if i'm not wrong the original song is called Arirang and Arirang Alone and So Hyang's rendition/take on the song

none of them could sing at this level even at thier primes

oh my god i’ve been adoring this song for a year. this is amazing
No matter how many times I watch or listen to Sohyang, she never fails to give me goosebumps
SoHyang is a class of her own. Exploring her musical world will be a new experience! 😂
To answer your question, Arirang is obviously a folk song, but Sohyang is much more of a modern gospel singer than anything(as I'm sure you figured out once she started belting her ass off).

Bridge Over Troubled Waters-- tears!!!! You need to watch her performance of that.
This cover never ceases to make me cry
Sohyang is such a legend! One of the best vocals in Korea! Her performance of Everyone is amazing. It’s one of the hardest songs she’s done vocally and skill wise I believe.
MY GOOOD I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR SOO LONG AAAAAAA IT'S THE BEST DAY IN THE WORLD !❣💫
So Hyang has to be the best lady singer in the world. She also composes these songs. Just an angelic singer and artist. And so beautiful.😊
I really liked your reaction..for me personally I think she is the best korean female vocalist, looking forward for more reactions
You need to do more of her songs~~~~❤❤❤
This is the first song I've heard from her... as i was practicing for our ARIRANG choir presentation for Korean visitors in our University ...that time I don't know she's the one who sung the "WIND SONG" one of my fave korean OST... she's one of my fave korean solo singers...
Did the principal soloists in your choir try to sing Arirang Alone the way Sohyang did?
@@oahuhawaii2141 no, we just did it as choir version, the common way to sing Arirang and not her version... Her piece was sooo great for a solo ... As a singer myself I know her range is far from what I can sing.
She is out of this world.
the incredible beutifull world class sohyang love from the uk
Pansori, traditional Korean singing, makes me cry like a baby. I drive with a ytmusic kpop station, and Oneus has slapped me in the face a couple of times with Luna and Intro : 창 (窓 : Window), which both feature pansori, while I was driving and I had to pull over.
"You Raise Me Up" next please. It is also very popular
omg i couldn’t even imagine that you react sohyang someday !!
Don’t be lulled in to thinking that Sohyang is a traditional Korean singer because she isn’t.

So Hyang is amazing. She took some time off because she got pneumonia repeatedly. But came back on Begin Again.

Haha "Not to be Racist, but...." then proceeds to give like outer worldly props. Lol.
Hey, now. Go and listen to some traditional First Nations music. That shit gets me, too. And slave narratives, which I like to refer to as the original soul/gospel music, gets me! USA has a lot to be proud of.....Just not from those who stole it.
That "not to be racist, but..." had me concerned

Manipulation 😂💀
