Thanks for the appreciative reaction. So Hyang is a world treasure - please react to more! She is from a gospel background, and has refused record deals to concentrate on repertoire she is passionate about. Arirang Alone is a sort of unofficial anthem for Korea with a superb arrangement and performance by her; her version of "You raise me up" is awesome; and "Everyone" is a completely extraordinary seven minutes of switching between Korean and English, with meaningful lyrics. She sings to bring comfort and hope, and has had treatment for cancer herself in the past.
Thank you for your reaction. Welcome to the world of Sohyang. She is one of the best in the world. Please react. 1. Everyone: This is the most difficult song in her life, Sohyang said. This song is a total set of all the techniques. 2. Lean on me: This song was performed in front of Michael Bolton. After the performance, Michael Bolton said. Sohyang is on the level of a master. Sohyang said her wish is to do a duet with Michael Bolton here. Later, Michael Bolton invited Sohyang to his concert and performed a duet together. If you look at the video, you'll be able to see the incredible improvisation of Sohyang in the duet. 3. Bridge over troubled water: It's a song of full emotion that doesn't need words. 4. Arirang alone: A song that expresses Korean emotions well, a movie-like song, a song that hit B flat5 with chest sound, I recommend it. 5. I have nothing : Another level!! 6. recently : Amazing Grace, I will always love you. 7. * Rap * : Day Day!!!!

Thank you for the reaction and a warm welcome to the amazing world of Sohynag, one of the best female vocalists currently on the planet. Once hooked there is no escape.
It's easy to fall in love with that voice - your fiancé will understand! I always feel like I should be wearing a suite when I hear this song - she takes me to church!
Thank you so much for nice reaction. Absolutely I agree with you. She is just amazing. She is a great Korean gospel singer. There are many K-pop stars in Korea, but there are many other great singers as well besides idol groups like BTS, Black Pink. Among them, there is a world class singer named Sohyang. She is considered one of the best vocalists in the world by many vocal coaches and singers all over the world. I hope you listen to her song once again. She was originally a gospel singer, not a popular singer. She has pure, humble and beautiful mind. She never sing a song for the fame and the money. She said that She always want to sing a song to heal and comfort wounded many peoples mentally, physically. I'm a Buddhist but I love her beautiful mind and respect her sincere faith in God. She looks like an angel. She always touches my heart and makes me cry through her so emotional song. It's just amazing and breathtaking. I'll always love her forever. Please more react to Sohyang.

Welcome to Sohyang's world. Close enough on her name. She is a gospel and ballad singer, author, arranger and cancer survivor. Oh she will belt lol. She is known for starting like an angel and turning into a beast. Make sure to use Vimeo and pause often. She is rated as star next to Whitney by Critic of Music, look it up. You haven't heard of her before because she is an independent artist, she sings to comfort and heal.
Yeeeeessss! I was starting to think you had some sort of aversion to sohyang. I know you've done dimash & morissette & tbh they usually come as a 3.maybe now,if you hear people saying sohyang is the 'queen' where dimash is 'king', you may now understand why. I thought you may have come across her before as although she can literally sing ANY genre,her heart belongs to gospel music & she is a devout christian & as I believe you are a man of faith I just thought you may have heard of her. You should read her back story & the reason that she is not the worldwide superstar that her voice surely deserves is that all the big record companies have tried to sign her but she has always declined as fame/fortune aren't what drives her,instead choosing to stay independent & do what she wants,which is to use the gift that god gave her to bring happiness to those experiencing difficult times. Sohyang is a masterful arranger & is responsible for the arrangment of all the songs she performs.sometimes the arrangment changes the song a fair bit from the original,sometimes only a little,dependent on the song & the circumstances in which she's singing it but she always makes it her own version & only if its for the better,she is far too respectful to rearrange a song & make it worse. Never be put off reacting to one of her performances if its not in english as she (& sometimes dimash) regularly has me in tears without me knowing what she's singing about,thats how good she is at portraying emotion in a song. Try watching her non english performances on vimeo as they usually provide eng subs. So many songs I could recommend but I think: 'lean on me' (michael bolton was in the audience), 'arirang alone' (a simple korean folk song that has been given the sohyang treatment arrangment wise) & 'you raise me up', and what is regarded as her masterpiece,a song that sohyang herself said was the most difficult to perform as there are limited places to breathe & thats the song 'everyone' (7.5 mins of a vocal masterclass). All these songs are from the show 'immortal songs 2 & should give you a better idea of her capabilities & are from roughly the same period 2017/8. She is not know for releasing lots of material & has suffered with long periods of bad health but she appears to have been in pretty good health recently & has released quite a lot of her material that she's done during the pandemic,so there is material that is available that is bang up to date. Finally,welcome to the amazing world of sohyang.I hope you are good at long journeys as now you've stepped on to the sohyang train i'm sure you'll be in no hurry to get off.
She also does her own arrangements, is a vocal coach, a successful fiction author, an has survived cancer. I'm in awe of her. You might consider doing her cover of "O Holy Night" before the 12 days of Christmas are over!
She's 42 years old now (this performance was several years ago). Here are some suggestions for Sohyang: any of her Masked Singer performances, Lean on Me, Everyone, Arirang Alone, I Have Nothing, You Raise Me Up, and many others just to start! She should be way more famous than she is, but she doesn't seek fame (her stated goal is to make people happy through her singing). Thanks for the reaction, Brad!
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/hero
One of the best I've ever heard. You need to show this to you're fiance. Lean on me is great too. Of course everything she does is great. Oh and you have to listen to I have nothing. It is amazing
Perfection 🤍⚜️🤍 Ty Brad - SoHyang is EVERYTHING. Should JUMP n SoHyang’s 🐰🕳 of 🎶 🎶 (so beautiful & spiritual) ✌🏼🤍🇺🇸Dear 👉 SoHang & Dimash R same caliber! SoHang mastery of SLS/Mix tech is 🤯 & has range 2 match. She’s 🤍’d by Seth Riggs, (studied w/ him a short x), 42 yr yng, independent, gospel roots/Singer & devout Christian who sings 2 comfort others, (not fame & has turned down offers many x’s from industry BIG’s globally) & continues 2 do so 2 stay true 2 herself/faith. She never sought fame, but it found her❣️
There are so many good singers in this world, you know..... Sohyang is an extraordinary singer. Her fantastic smile and soft & powerful voice make us feel eomotion and us weep from ours deep mind. Addicted to her automatically....^^ LOVE SOHYANG~~~^^♥
She is the absolute sweetest queen! You should check out her song Everyone! Please check out Park Hyo Shin too. He is also a spectacular South Korean artist . I love all his songs but Breathe, Beautiful Tomorrow and Wildflower are really special.
Most of the people who sing on TH-cam have a mismatch between their emotions and sounds. They pretend to sing a lot of technique only. But Sohyang is emotion = sound. I can feel it in her strong chest voice. Sohyang doesn't make a sound. "Express" the sound. For example, when speaking, emotions and sounds match, but Sohyang sings as if speaking. So emotion = sound. Others sound difficult or plain. You need to know the difference.
She is finest female vocalist in world.. Kind of ahocked given your profession you don't know her.. Take the journey you will be blessed. Great reaction..
Thank you for great reaction, please react more of her So Hyang : Lean On Me th-cam.com/video/GvsgCllcNPE/w-d-xo.html So Hyang : You Raise Me Up th-cam.com/video/te_L9ofhUt8/w-d-xo.html So Hyang : Everyone th-cam.com/video/H5e7MPre7iY/w-d-xo.html So Hyang : I Have Nothing th-cam.com/video/T4UyIMkdy4M/w-d-xo.html So Hyang : I Will Always Love You th-cam.com/video/DO845EqU3eE/w-d-xo.html So Hyang : Arirang Alone th-cam.com/video/zFyndK9VOCk/w-d-xo.html
Agreed that BOTW is one of the greatest songs ever, and that she more than did it justice. I highly recommend her cover of a traditional Korean song "Arirang Alone", on the same program(Immortal Songs) as the one you just saw. It has english subs and it will blow you away: th-cam.com/video/zFyndK9VOCk/w-d-xo.html
SoHyang ....simply amazing. Nothing else needs to be said . Can I suggest another great talent from ASIA ......4th Impact are 4 sisters from The Philippines with amazing harmonies. Any of their songs on you tube will leave you speechless.
i love that you're reacting to sohyang 😍 i think you'll like her a lot, she's a staunch christian with a gospel background so she loooves her riffs. check out her lean on me, it's one of her most popular performances!
Glad you enjoyed your introduction to So Hyang Brad. We are all convinced there is no one who can sing like her alive on the planet today! Here's a brief biography of this incredible lady! ********************************* We all wonder if So Hyang is human or from another planet. Current odds are that she’s from another planet or perhaps 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. She does all the musical arrangements herself, teaches vocal technique at a South Korean university and speaks four languages. Korean, English, French and Vietnamese. 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. David Foster, Josh Groban, Michael Bolton and others have all travelled to Asia to work with her. 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. th-cam.com/video/te_L9ofhUt8/w-d-xo.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 42 on April 5, though in Korean culture she would be 43 because you are deemed to be one year old when you are born. She was about 35 when she sang this version of “Arirang Alone.” th-cam.com/video/zFyndK9VOCk/w-d-xo.html After being sick with pneumonia much of the time 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 fame from the performances being posted on TH-cam. Whitney Houston’s former manager saw her on TH-cam and showed her to Oprah Winfrey, who brought her to David Foster’s attention. Foster then contacted So Hyang and went to Japan in order to work together. 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 So Hyang conceded that she struggled with her desire for fame for a number of years, going into a basement storage room 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. Then she saw a Korean TV drama where the talented daughter of a very successful businessman was positive she would take over when her father was gone. But he did not leave her the ownership of the company, so she had a fit and lay kicking and screaming on the floor. So Hyang says she saw herself in that young woman and then understood that God was keeping her from developing bad character by witholding celebrity status from her. 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 So Hyang turned down another contract offer from Sony Music. 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 TH-cam, 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.” So Hyang is just the most amazing singer, Christian and human being! She is beautiful both inside and out-and so humble! Please analyze her performance of “Bridge Over Troubled Water.” th-cam.com/video/C6iHh4yBxCo/w-d-xo.html And also, please react to her version of “The Power of Love”: th-cam.com/video/LrNkVRrK7_I/w-d-xo.html Plus this beautiful duet with her friend Lee Hi: vimeo.com/439148918 Here's an English language interview with her that I'm sure you will enjoy: th-cam.com/video/N2u_pmoWxj8/w-d-xo.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 So Hyang revealed 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: th-cam.com/video/VnPAkryrygQ/w-d-xo.html Oh, I just remembered, she is also a published novelist and 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 and is a talented artist. She can also play the piano and guitar. Is there anything this genius level woman can't do? I really must also compliment the choir, orchestra and audio/video production people So Hyang uses. They are all top notch from what I can see and hear. The Korean people are easily as talented as anyone else!
I am SO glad you now know Sohyang. She is a South Korean CCM artist but she covers a lot of other artists also. She has an amazing testimony. Her goal is not to be famous but rather to bring joy to others who need joy in their lives. The ONE song that I would highly suggest for you to listen to is her performance of "Everyone". It is half in Korean and half English so use this link, it has English subtitles. vimeo.com/249195615
List of SoHyang performances I Am A Singer: vimeo.com/search?q=I%20am%20a%20singer%20%20sohyang Immortal Songs 2: vimeo.com/search?q=immortal+songs+2++sohyang Begin Again Korea: vimeo.com/search?q=begin+again+Korea+sohyang She has more than that, but these are all good. Try and avoid clips where she looks sick, due to her cancer treatment she is prone to pneumonia and she still sings sick or not.
Hi! Pls. do react to "HINDI TAYO PWEDE" BY KATRINA VELARDE. It was already released on 25th of December. In just a day this video already got a 100K plus of viewers. This song is about LOVE that was not meant to be 😥 . It is one of her song in Masked Pilipinas contest. Her cover made even more EMOTIONAL, where she PUTS HER WHOLE HEART OUT! 🥰
There are a lot more out there from Sohyang, the impeccable singer and my favorite. You got lots of recommendations so I would just mention "Arirang Alone" where Sohyang performed in her native language. Link: th-cam.com/video/zFyndK9VOCk/w-d-xo.html
Great reaction as usual. If you see power, stamina, control, and a mix/belt that’s mind blow, pls react to Lean On Me. She had Michael Bolton say “WOW” and standup at the end. Some say she’s one of the best if not the best female singers out there.
I love her version of "Never Enough", you should check it out. Someone did a TH-cam single elimination sing off and she was in the final against Dimash. There are several young artists that you should check out like Lexie Walker formerly of One Voice Children's Choir. Angelica Hale. Celine Tam. And Darci Lynne to name a few.
So hyang is one of korea's finest singers and one of the best in the world....Brad a group of 4 filipino sisters did a So Hyang version of that with great harmony...please react to it....they are 4th impact Ph Queens of harmonies who is the best girl band in the philippines....you havent done a reaction to them but trust me they are really good.
Thank you for your reaction. Here is recommendation of a famous artist from China, his name is CHARLIE ZHOU SHEN, attached link is his live performance (he is having bad flu on that day) in Macau China during 2021 New Year countdown broadcasted by JIANGSU TV Station. 1. My heart will go on (from movie TITANIC) 2.

Please Believe In A Dream ( from Chinese Anime movie Jiang Tze Ya) 2. This Is Me (from movie The Greatest Showman) th-cam.com/video/DWAxYShzOmI/w-d-xo.html
By the powers to be, she has been called the female version of Dimash. Suggest Arirang Alone, Lean On Me with Michael Bolton watching her!! Hey, it's still Christmas, check out her version of Oh Holy Night!! Killer, I Will Always Love You, and A Korean KPOP singer "Ailee" her I Will Always Love You, both of these I will put up against Whitney any day. Don't get me wrong, love Whitney, but hey, when you're as good as!!!!! She does not sing for money or fame, no record label. She sings for the comfort of the people. At 21 she had ovarian and uterine cancer and survived! She devotes every of her being to the lord!! She is truly an "EARTH ANGEL" Arirang Alone is a 600-year Korean folk song shared by north and south. The first 2 minutes will prove she is an 'EARTH ANGEL" then she finishes the rest of the song with what she wants to do with it!! Yes, she can arrange, pick instruments, she knows what she is doing. There is also a KILLER "AMAZING GRACE" and "EVERYONE"
Thanks for the appreciative reaction. So Hyang is a world treasure - please react to more! She is from a gospel background, and has refused record deals to concentrate on repertoire she is passionate about. Arirang Alone is a sort of unofficial anthem for Korea with a superb arrangement and performance by her; her version of "You raise me up" is awesome; and "Everyone" is a completely extraordinary seven minutes of switching between Korean and English, with meaningful lyrics. She sings to bring comfort and hope, and has had treatment for cancer herself in the past.
Thank you for your reaction.
Welcome to the world of Sohyang.
She is one of the best in the world.
Please react.
1. Everyone: This is the most difficult song in her life, Sohyang said. This song is a total set of all the techniques.
2. Lean on me: This song was performed in front of Michael Bolton. After the performance, Michael Bolton said. Sohyang is on the level of a master. Sohyang said her wish is to do a duet with Michael Bolton here. Later, Michael Bolton invited Sohyang to his concert and performed a duet together. If you look at the video, you'll be able to see the incredible improvisation of Sohyang in the duet.
3. Bridge over troubled water: It's a song of full emotion that doesn't need words.
4. Arirang alone: A song that expresses Korean emotions well, a movie-like song, a song that hit B flat5 with chest sound, I recommend it.
5. I have nothing : Another level!!
6. recently : Amazing Grace, I will always love you.
7. * Rap * : Day Day!!!!

Thank you for the reaction and a warm welcome to the amazing world of Sohynag, one of the best female vocalists currently on the planet. Once hooked there is no escape.
It's easy to fall in love with that voice - your fiancé will understand! I always feel like I should be wearing a suite when I hear this song - she takes me to church!
Thank you so much for nice reaction. Absolutely I agree with you. She is just amazing.
She is a great Korean gospel singer. There are many K-pop stars in Korea, but there are many other great singers as well besides idol groups like BTS, Black Pink. Among them, there is a world class singer named Sohyang. She is considered one of the best vocalists in the world by many vocal coaches and singers all over the world. I hope you listen to her song once again. She was originally a gospel singer, not a popular singer. She has pure, humble and beautiful mind.
She never sing a song for the fame and the money. She said that She always want to sing a song to heal and comfort wounded many peoples mentally, physically.
I'm a Buddhist but I love her beautiful mind and respect her sincere faith in God. She looks like an angel. She always touches my heart and makes me cry through her so emotional song. It's just amazing and breathtaking. I'll always love her forever.
Please more react to Sohyang.
Have a nice day.

Welcome to Sohyang's world. Close enough on her name. She is a gospel and ballad singer, author, arranger and cancer survivor. Oh she will belt lol. She is known for starting like an angel and turning into a beast.
Make sure to use Vimeo and pause often. She is rated as star next to Whitney by Critic of Music, look it up. You haven't heard of her before because she is an independent artist, she sings to comfort and heal.
This year she was singing I will always love you at outside port. Almost like a acapella.
Let's go to her "Lean on me" and " You raise me up" from the same TV show! You will be speechless!!!
She is a real vocalist! I love her so much! So much emotion in her singing ❤️❤️❤️❤️😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yeeeeessss! I was starting to think you had some sort of aversion to sohyang. I know you've done dimash & morissette & tbh they usually come as a 3.maybe now,if you hear people saying sohyang is the 'queen' where dimash is 'king', you may now understand why. I thought you may have come across her before as although she can literally sing ANY genre,her heart belongs to gospel music & she is a devout christian & as I believe you are a man of faith I just thought you may have heard of her. You should read her back story & the reason that she is not the worldwide superstar that her voice surely deserves is that all the big record companies have tried to sign her but she has always declined as fame/fortune aren't what drives her,instead choosing to stay independent & do what she wants,which is to use the gift that god gave her to bring happiness to those experiencing difficult times. Sohyang is a masterful arranger & is responsible for the arrangment of all the songs she performs.sometimes the arrangment changes the song a fair bit from the original,sometimes only a little,dependent on the song & the circumstances in which she's singing it but she always makes it her own version & only if its for the better,she is far too respectful to rearrange a song & make it worse. Never be put off reacting to one of her performances if its not in english as she (& sometimes dimash) regularly has me in tears without me knowing what she's singing about,thats how good she is at portraying emotion in a song. Try watching her non english performances on vimeo as they usually provide eng subs.
So many songs I could recommend but I think: 'lean on me' (michael bolton was in the audience), 'arirang alone' (a simple korean folk song that has been given the sohyang treatment arrangment wise) & 'you raise me up', and what is regarded as her masterpiece,a song that sohyang herself said was the most difficult to perform as there are limited places to breathe & thats the song 'everyone' (7.5 mins of a vocal masterclass).
All these songs are from the show 'immortal songs 2 & should give you a better idea of her capabilities & are from roughly the same period 2017/8. She is not know for releasing lots of material & has suffered with long periods of bad health but she appears to have been in pretty good health recently & has released quite a lot of her material that she's done during the pandemic,so there is material that is available that is bang up to date.
Finally,welcome to the amazing world of sohyang.I hope you are good at long journeys as now you've stepped on to the sohyang train i'm sure you'll be in no hurry to get off.
She also does her own arrangements, is a vocal coach, a successful fiction author, an has survived cancer. I'm in awe of her. You might consider doing her cover of "O Holy Night" before the 12 days of Christmas are over!
Your reactions are so great, they make me smile and giggle. She is so good!
She's 42 years old now (this performance was several years ago). Here are some suggestions for Sohyang: any of her Masked Singer performances, Lean on Me, Everyone, Arirang Alone, I Have Nothing, You Raise Me Up, and many others just to start! She should be way more famous than she is, but she doesn't seek fame (her stated goal is to make people happy through her singing). Thanks for the reaction, Brad!
Thank you for the reaction~
Welcome to Sohyang's world~^^
The great performance~😇🥰😍👑
Beautiful Queen Sohyang! Her rendition brings tears every time. Check out "Everyone" and "Arirang Alone". Thanks, Brad.
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/hero
One of the best I've ever heard. You need to show this to you're fiance. Lean on me is great too. Of course everything she does is great. Oh and you have to listen to I have nothing. It is amazing
Perfection 🤍⚜️🤍
Ty Brad - SoHyang is EVERYTHING. Should JUMP n SoHyang’s 🐰🕳 of 🎶 🎶 (so beautiful & spiritual)
✌🏼🤍🇺🇸Dear
👉 SoHang & Dimash R same caliber! SoHang mastery of SLS/Mix tech is 🤯 & has range 2 match.
She’s 🤍’d by Seth Riggs, (studied w/ him a short x), 42 yr yng, independent, gospel roots/Singer & devout Christian who sings 2 comfort others, (not fame & has turned down offers many x’s from industry BIG’s globally) & continues 2 do so 2 stay true 2 herself/faith.
She never sought fame, but it found her❣️
There are so many good singers in this world, you know.....
Sohyang is an extraordinary singer. Her fantastic smile and soft & powerful voice make us feel eomotion and us weep from ours deep mind. Addicted to her automatically....^^ LOVE SOHYANG~~~^^♥
You found the Angel.
Shes not just great Korean singer. Shes one of the greatest singer in the world
She is the absolute sweetest queen! You should check out her song Everyone! Please check out Park Hyo Shin too. He is also a spectacular South Korean artist . I love all his songs but Breathe, Beautiful Tomorrow and Wildflower are really special.
Most of the people who sing on TH-cam have a mismatch between their emotions and sounds.
They pretend to sing a lot of technique only.
But Sohyang is emotion = sound.
I can feel it in her strong chest voice.
Sohyang doesn't make a sound. "Express" the sound.
For example, when speaking, emotions and sounds match, but Sohyang sings as if speaking.
So emotion = sound. Others sound difficult or plain.
You need to know the difference.
She is finest female vocalist in world.. Kind of ahocked given your profession you don't know her.. Take the journey you will be blessed. Great reaction..
I really enjoyed your reaction ^^⚘
Thank you so much 💓
Thank you for great reaction, please react more of her

Agreed that BOTW is one of the greatest songs ever, and that she more than did it justice. I highly recommend her cover of a traditional Korean song "Arirang Alone", on the same program(Immortal Songs) as the one you just saw. It has english subs and it will blow you away: th-cam.com/video/zFyndK9VOCk/w-d-xo.html
SoHyang ....simply amazing. Nothing else needs to be said . Can I suggest another great talent from ASIA ......4th Impact are 4 sisters from The Philippines with amazing harmonies. Any of their songs on you tube will leave you speechless.
i love that you're reacting to sohyang 😍 i think you'll like her a lot, she's a staunch christian with a gospel background so she loooves her riffs. check out her lean on me, it's one of her most popular performances!
Glad you enjoyed your introduction to So Hyang Brad. We are all convinced there is no one who can sing like her alive on the planet today! Here's a brief biography of this incredible lady!
*********************************
We all wonder if So Hyang is human or from another planet. Current odds are that she’s from another planet or perhaps 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. She does all the musical arrangements herself, teaches vocal technique at a South Korean university and speaks four languages. Korean, English, French and Vietnamese.
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. David Foster, Josh Groban, Michael Bolton and others have all travelled to Asia to work with her.
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. th-cam.com/video/te_L9ofhUt8/w-d-xo.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 42 on April 5, though in Korean culture she would be 43 because you are deemed to be one year old when you are born. She was about 35 when she sang this version of “Arirang Alone.” th-cam.com/video/zFyndK9VOCk/w-d-xo.html
After being sick with pneumonia much of the time 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 fame from the performances being posted on TH-cam. Whitney Houston’s former manager saw her on TH-cam and showed her to Oprah Winfrey, who brought her to David Foster’s attention. Foster then contacted So Hyang and went to Japan in order to work together. 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 So Hyang conceded that she struggled with her desire for fame for a number of years, going into a basement storage room 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. Then she saw a Korean TV drama where the talented daughter of a very successful businessman was positive she would take over when her father was gone. But he did not leave her the ownership of the company, so she had a fit and lay kicking and screaming on the floor. So Hyang says she saw herself in that young woman and then understood that God was keeping her from developing bad character by witholding celebrity status from her. 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 So Hyang turned down another contract offer from Sony Music. 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 TH-cam, 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.”
So Hyang is just the most amazing singer, Christian and human being! She is beautiful both inside and out-and so humble!
Please analyze her performance of “Bridge Over Troubled Water.” th-cam.com/video/C6iHh4yBxCo/w-d-xo.html
And also, please react to her version of “The Power of Love”: th-cam.com/video/LrNkVRrK7_I/w-d-xo.html
Plus this beautiful duet with her friend Lee Hi: vimeo.com/439148918
Here's an English language interview with her that I'm sure you will enjoy: th-cam.com/video/N2u_pmoWxj8/w-d-xo.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 So Hyang revealed 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: th-cam.com/video/VnPAkryrygQ/w-d-xo.html
Oh, I just remembered, she is also a published novelist and 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 and is a talented artist.
She can also play the piano and guitar. Is there anything this genius level woman can't do?
I really must also compliment the choir, orchestra and audio/video production people So Hyang uses. They are all top notch from what I can see and hear. The Korean people are easily as talented as anyone else!
Unreal😍😍💕
Paul Simon: "Wow. Ain't that great? I wrote that song. I'm not lying. Hey, wait..."
Thanks!!! your reaction!!👍
Finally!! Been dying for you to listen to Sohyang! Amazing right?!!!
I am SO glad you now know Sohyang. She is a South Korean CCM artist but she covers a lot of other artists also. She has an amazing testimony. Her goal is not to be famous but rather to bring joy to others who need joy in their lives. The ONE song that I would highly suggest for you to listen to is her performance of "Everyone". It is half in Korean and half English so use this link, it has English subtitles. vimeo.com/249195615

She has more than that, but these are all good. Try and avoid clips where she looks sick, due to her cancer treatment she is prone to pneumonia and she still sings sick or not.
Hi! Pls. do react to "HINDI TAYO PWEDE" BY KATRINA VELARDE. It was already released on 25th of December. In just a day this video already got a 100K plus of viewers. This song is about LOVE that was not meant to be 😥 . It is one of her song in Masked Pilipinas contest. Her cover made even more EMOTIONAL, where she PUTS HER WHOLE HEART OUT! 🥰
Please let her SING! I LOVE her range..let her sing Please don't interrupt. LET HER SING UNTIL THE END PLEASE !!!°°
There are a lot more out there from Sohyang, the impeccable singer and my favorite. You got lots of recommendations so I would just mention "Arirang Alone" where Sohyang performed in her native language. Link: th-cam.com/video/zFyndK9VOCk/w-d-xo.html
She's a beast sir so powerful of her voice.
Great reaction as usual. If you see power, stamina, control, and a mix/belt that’s mind blow, pls react to Lean On Me. She had Michael Bolton say “WOW” and standup at the end. Some say she’s one of the best if not the best female singers out there.
Brad - please do "You Raise Me Up" next by Sohyang.
Great reaction
A warm welcome to Sohyang world :)
I love her version of "Never Enough", you should check it out. Someone did a TH-cam single elimination sing off and she was in the final against Dimash. There are several young artists that you should check out like Lexie Walker formerly of One Voice Children's Choir. Angelica Hale. Celine Tam. And Darci Lynne to name a few.
Thank you for your detail review ^^
I like your active reaction
I subscribed .. good luck!
Already looking forward to your next video. There may be a more awesome thumbnail. :)

You know some music here!
Welcome sohyang in the area~!
안녕하세요... 반갑구요... 리액션 환상입니다. 👍‼‼
Next song suggestion for you, Brad... "Arirang Alone."
Yeeee... yeee...
Next song from Sohyang "Lean on me" Immortal Songs 2 a tribute to Michael Bolton.
By the powers to be, she has been called the female version of Dimash. Suggest Arirang Alone, Lean On Me with Michael Bolton watching her!! Hey, it's still Christmas, check out her version of Oh Holy Night!! Killer, I Will Always Love You, and A Korean KPOP singer "Ailee" her I Will Always Love You, both of these I will put up against Whitney any day. Don't get me wrong, love Whitney, but hey, when you're as good as!!!!! She does not sing for money or fame, no record label. She sings for the comfort of the people. At 21 she had ovarian and uterine cancer and survived! She devotes every of her being to the lord!! She is truly an "EARTH ANGEL" Arirang Alone is a 600-year Korean folk song shared by north and south. The first 2 minutes will prove she is an 'EARTH ANGEL" then she finishes the rest of the song with what she wants to do with it!! Yes, she can arrange, pick instruments, she knows what she is doing. There is also a KILLER "AMAZING GRACE" and "EVERYONE"
Phenomenal
