Arirang is a song of Korea. It’s believed to be first sang over 600 years ago, and passed down from generation to generation. It embodies the spirit of the people of Korea for centuries. 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 song written in the hope of reunification of Korea. 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 in the central location from 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”.
@@iamperplexed4695 millions of families were separated during the Korean War. It's been 6 decades since the country was split into two. There's nothing political about families and people of one nation wanting to be reunited.
I Am Perplexed Lmfao no. You must have been fed some propaganda yourself tho if you think that hoping for south and North Korea to reunify is propaganda.
In an interview, she actually said the she turned down huge major deals for international stardom but she declined all of them because she doesn't really want fame and she only wants to sing for and to the Lord.
Admirable to make such decision for her beliefs, good for her. I do think she would become very famous if her music was marketed in the US, but the industry just ruins and commercializes everything most of the time. They focus too much in selling "sexy" instead of the music in talent.
She has a version of "Oh Holy Night". She absolutely kills it bro, you should check it out. By the way she is a Christian Korean artist. Sings only for free and to bless people. She's a cancer survivor too... She has an amazing story yo tell...
@@nicrafaela1185 What is singing ? Is it not vocalization of emotions or expressions in a manner that is pleasing to a wide variety of audience ? If so, then everyone who likes to hear her sing would like to disagree with you on the definition of pleasant and singing.
TJ Aiken wow! I have several Asian friends and I tell them that they never age. They tell me BS. Compared to Caucasians they don’t. My parents didn’t look their age and sadly they died at 62 and 63. I did not been for them getting cancer the same year, & cancer took my 62-year-old dad looking like a 50-year-old man to a 75-year-old man and dead in six months, he would have continued running 6 miles a day. He was an awesome shape but pancreatic cancer is a monster. This woman is beautiful and her voice is angelic.
That would be indeed so amazing. It's a shame some of both singers' fandoms are fake vocal experts who attack each other though. They should know that the both are amazing talents and have legit techniques.
John Roh yeah. People need to realize that their techniques are so advanced that best singers in the world would struggle to sing some of their most difficult songs. The hardest dimash song I have covered was his rendition of “All By Myself” by Celine Dion and I had no problem learning that within a couple of weeks. But if you asked me to sing diva dance, then thank u next.
"Mona lisa" of Sohyang, a rock song, I recommend it for you ! And thank you very much for your reaction of my Queen Sohyang !! P.S : She's a gospel singer in South Korea ! 😉
Many korean and international producers tried to make her sign for commercial stuff but she is not interested in making money with her singing since she is christian and believe that she have to sing for the Lord. In fact she only sung in churches but once she was invited in a show and she could see a woman crying during her performance so she decided to perform more often in shows to share her talent with people to inspire them but not for commercial stuff or making money.
She won the Immortal Song 2 competition with this song, with Michael Bolton in attendance. Apparently, she was given some award for this song in Canada (I vaguely remember someone writing about this). After the competition, Michael Bolton was so impressed by her that he invited her to join him in his Korean concert tour. I know they sang The Prayer together.
Thanks for this. Its introduced me to another amazing singer that sent shivers up my spine. I laughed at the first amazing note she reached as I was thinking about how it's the angelic inhuman quality of voices like this that make it so powerful....then you just casually, sat in a chair, throw out the same notes. Amazing.
Try "Everyone" next. It's in Korean. It's her vocal masterpiece. Even she said that it is her hardest to sing so far. There's a version with English subtitles in Vimeo.
Many thanks for the reaction boss. Sohyang is a 40yo gospel/CCM singer from Korea. She has been doing this for more than 20 years, and is also an incredible person with a heartfelt personal story and motivation to sing. Here are two more for you from the same show, I think you are going to love them:. "Lean on me" th-cam.com/video/GvsgCllcNPE/w-d-xo.html Michael Bolton was a guest on this episode, and the singers invited did covers of some of his songs/performances. Sohyang chose a fresh take on a song that Michael had extensively covered in the past. And it was epic. "Raise me up" th-cam.com/video/te_L9ofhUt8/w-d-xo.html Shane from Westlife was a guest on this episode. Beautiful re-arrangement (the theme of the show is to invite notable Korean artists, make them re-arrange with their teams well known songs and then sing them live on stage) and execution. Keep the goodness coming, cheers..C:
OMG! I was satisfied with you doing Bridge Over Troubled Water, but you added Arirang Alone to the video too? Awesome! I forgive you for being nitpicky about forward singing( I love it!) , lol. As long as you give her props, it may not be your preferred way, but it works!
@@kentamplin Thank you for critquing her. I think you are being nice. She is singing with a lot of constriction on those high larynx notes! closing her throat! i am sorry, her technique is terrible! atrophied chest voice, there is no squillo! her voice is terrible. pinched and noisy
@@kentamplin You are being nice to this people.. Their techniques are terrible! their voice is high larynx and not round! the terrible brightness and pinched sound..remove the mics and all you hear is noise... they do not have true squillo. Their chest voice is atrophied and the overtones and harmonics that thyroarrythenoid muscles which should be the core sound.. is missing! this is terrible singing Ken Tamplin and you know it... you are being nice..
@@olusegunodumosu2024 Wow we finally found you we've been looking for that one person who thinks Sohyang is terrible it took years but here you are the search is over everyone!!!
Appreciate your comments on promoting those lesser known singers who can bring joy to many more people around the world in this global village. Agree also with your observation that music from all corners of the world is coming together. Music is a language for which words are optional. The melody and rhythm have their own stories to tell without the language barrier. World class talents can be appreciated no matter what language they speak. Thanks for spending some time with Sohyang.
So Hyang is one of the best female singers alive and I'm really happy that you reacted to her video and I would recommend her arirang alone performance she just slayed it.just killer... KILLER
Thank you for reacting to so hyang I love all of her song but I can't reach high pitch. once again thank you so much and please do more sohyang reaction
she is my idol from korea..she is dubbed as *Queen of Asia's Goddess Vocalist* 🌹👸💅💞😍💐 her technique is no.1 in Asia period😍 *Queen of Mixed Voice* *Queen of Angelic Head Voice* *Queen of Resonance* p/s: search for her FANCAM performance you will be awe by her supersonic resonance🙈 thanks react to her...plz react her more with her Fancam
She's amazing... Good to hear you mention that she's awesome and your critiques are just tweaks to get her to that NEXT level of fabulous! Also, you have a phenomenal range haha first time I've ever heard you sing, wowza!
@@kentamplin yes they are! Both of them give me motivation to continue practicing singing even if I'll never get to that level. It's just something I love. The emotions they provoke when they perform. It's just so incredible. Ugh. None of my friends get it when I talk about it. This comment section feels like home though xD I'm like "finally! People understand how I feel!"
Thank You Vey Much For Reacting Queen Sohyang, One of The best Vocalist in this planet. I Suggest You Sir To React to Another Sohyang perf. You Raise Me Up, Lean On Me and I have Nothing, Ill promise you sir ITS epic!
A lot of "Stanish" people have Asian DNA, which would explain why Dimash looks like a BTS member. The pronunciation of Korean words may explain why her oral formation of certain verbs are altered. She's a cervical cancer survivor & devoted Christian, which may lend to her "church" sound. My Korean family have been devoted Catholics since the 1500's. Go figure.
@@kentamplinyou are a rock man, and because of that when you have time listen : Kim bada and suh moon tak. Title of the song : monalisa. He and she are the best rockers in korea. I hope you like. If you want I can help you with lyrics. I can sing in Korean language but im portuguese. Stay well and I hope you like. Cheers
I would be very curious to know what you think of Song Sohee, the most naturally gifted singer from Korea imo. She is singing in a traditional "Gugak" style, very unusual but yet unbelievable.
Hi, Ken Tamplin, I'm so glad you reacted to So Hyang ! What the beautiful and amazing performances that were born with her unique voice and incredible singing ability !!! Thanks for your truly nice reaction ! From the U.S.
You're here again lol. Man you really are an example of confirmation bias. If Ken thinks Dimash's techniques are great and he confirms Sohyang's great, you should take that objectively, not selectively. Being a fan boy is okay but just don't put a great singer down. I love both of them and they are both great technicians. Why can't you just accept that?
It's great to see you appreciate songs with an international flavor, Ken. A great singer is a great singer in any culture or language, and it's pretty heartwarming to see a true voice expert like you recognizes it.
Kim So-hyang (born April 5, 1978), credited as Sohyang, is a South Korean singer. She made debut in 1996 with the song "MR", which was released on Naver Music. Despite having a long career in South Korea, she was only able to make her international breakthrough in 2014, when she became the first Korean artist to sing the American national anthem at a NBA game. Sohyang also achieved fame when she sang with Michael Bolton & Kirk Franklin. Her has participated many times on television music competition programs Immortal Songs 2 and I Am a Singer, and the last King of Masked Singer (2017) winning twice on Immortal Songs 2 with songs "Lean on Me" and "Bridge Over Troubled Water" and You raise me Up 2018. Disney's making contract with her in movie Moana, Sohyang voiced the protagonist in the Korean-dubbed version, for the singing parts (How far I'll go). Sohyang's voice type is a Lyric Soprano, specifically a Full Lyric Soprano. Her vocal range spans from D3 to A6, a total of 3 octaves, 3 notes, and a semitone. She is known for her emotive and powerful vocals with characteristics being a homogeneous, rounded, and bright instrument of remarkable beauty and meticulous control. This skill has been very much well showcased all throughout her career.
When someone asked So Hyang how she learned to sing such high notes--and so smoothly--she said she listened to a Disney movie when she was a kid hundreds of times and just imitated it. She didn't know that she "wasn't supposed to be able to do that" so she just did it anyway and thought little of it. (That's how she learned English, too!) Oh man! What a God given genius talent she is! No one touches me with her singing more than So Hyang, and I'm a 61 year old guy that is far more into the blues and blues-driven rock and roll! She also teaches vocal technique at a South Korean university and refuses to sign any recording contracts with the international corporations. She is convinced it will destroy her spiritually, since she is a Christian, and quotes Proverbs 14:12 and 16:25 "There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death." The excesses of the entertainment industry are repulsive to her, and after seeing the kind of people big "stars" turn into, I can't mount any kind of rational argument against her! She just wants to sing to raise money for charities, churches and missionary work. She took a lesson from Seth Riggs one time and says she learned virtually everything else on her own. Where do such people come from? Moreover, she also has persistent problems from hepatitis B (from a blood transfusion when she had cancer surgery when she was 20) and is very prone to pneumonia. You can imagine how she feels with this coronavirus pneumonia pandemic all over the world and in South Korea! She has asked for her fans to pray for her protection from any more bouts of pneumonia, thus it is a very serious concern for her. She sang her "You Raise Me Up" performance for Shane Filan while still suffering from pneumonia. What can anyone say? She is a literal Wonder Woman! Here is an English language interview she did for a Seoul FM radio station that explains a lot of what she is about. I KNOW you will enjoy it! th-cam.com/video/N2u_pmoWxj8/w-d-xo.html
I think that is exactly what So Hyang and Dimash are doing, combining the best techniques from opera and pop styles into one magnific music. Gotta love them for that. Thanks
I really appreciate your reaction towards this. Like its genuinely constructive critism, even if she did a very good job but a little critism can bring her so much forward and much higher so critism isn't always that bad. i also agree that vocalist like this or TNT and dimash should get the appreciation they deserved, they should be known worldwide :D
OMG.KOR singer.! I've been wathing your clips over the years from KOREA. Even i tried to visit your studio in Hawaii. wow..I couldn't expect you to introduce Korean singer. I am so glad to see that. Bytheway, You are the greatest teacher on earth. I got lots of help from your video. Thanks. 1. Sohyang is devout Christian. she started her career as a CCM singer. 2. Her best skill is Whistle Voice as good as Mariah. 3. Arirang is traditional korean song and there are various version. Nat king cole liked Arirang also he sang a song. 5. She performed "Lean on Me" in front of Michael Bolton and she was invited his world tour. 6. She is first Korean singer who perform in NBA. Chris Paul said "it was the best National Anthem ever." 7. There were lots of singing competition by professional singer. Sohyang won a lot but not always. There are many great singer including her. Psy, BTS cannot represent K-POP fully. 8. I couldn't believe what i ve seen when you approach sohyang's high note!!
I understand what you're saying but numerous people have tried to sign & promote her but she doesn't sing to be famous,she just wants her music to help people in hardship feel better. If you know about her background you may understand
As breathtaking a performance as this was, and as deserving of international acclaim So Hyang has shown herself to be, it's ALSO worth acknowledging how greatly Ken has informed and heightened my appreciation for her talent. His generosity of spirit seems to shield him (AND us) from that all-too-human failing shadowing all critics - using expertise to elevate themselves by demeaning a celebrated talent. Bravo, Ken.
She is one devout Christian.... Sometimes she closes her eyes right before performing.... She actually prays to the Holy Spirit for a perfect performance... She has a great story to tell...
She doesn't wanna be a Rock Star. She just wanna sing to make people happy and surely she is using her talent in that way. That mindset of her is all shown by her attitudes and that's what makes 소향 so great and exceptional...^^
Awesome reactions Ken! I hope you could also react to her masked performances beginning with Dear Love as these are on a different level. Looking forward!
My all time favourite Dear Love. About a woman whose husband abandoned her for a younger neighbour, and how she pines for her despite his cheating on her. The song was written for a drama. The song is sung with lots of pain and wailing, one waves after another with increasing intensity. It is so beautiful yet painful. I teared every single time I listen to Sohyang sings this song.
Arirang is a traditional Korean folk song that all of us Koreans know. It is believed that "Arirang" originated in Jeongseon, Gangwon Province. According to a legend, the name is derived from the story of a bachelor and a maiden who fell in love while picking camellia blossoms near the wharf at Auraji (아우라지). There are two versions of this story. In the first one, the bachelor cannot cross the Auraji to meet the maiden because the water is too high so they sing a song to express their sorrow. In the second version, the bachelor attempts to cross the Auraji and drowns, singing the sorrowful song as he dies. During the Japanese occupation of Korea from 1910 to 1945, "Arirang" became a resistance anthem against Imperial Japanese rule. Korean protesters sang "Arirang" during the March 1 Movement, a Korean demonstration against Japan in 1919. Many of the variations of "Arirang" that were written during the occupation contain themes of injustice, the plight of laborers, and guerrilla warfare. In modern times, it's a song about uniting with our brothers and sisters up north and is an emotionally packed song that many Koreans hold dear. This was probably the best version of Arirang I have ever heard sung and when this aired, I know it moved many Koreans to tears. I can't underline the sheer emotional strength this song has on us in South Korea.
I saw a lot of female singers since over 30 years.... but this is fantastic. She is a very humble, natural and down to earth. she is a very nice human. KISS!!!
Much respect to Miss So Hyang! 👏 Her vocal prowess, technic and control allows for that mix to go in to the stratosphere, it's possibly the highest I've ever heard (aside from Dimash). Her head voice is heavenly and she emotes beautifully, her technic is class A! Her belts remind me of Celine Dion, who in my opinion is the belting queen, the power behind them is immense. 🤯 For me vocal discernment plays a big part, she knows her voice and what and where she can go with it. This is why vocal lessons are so important in my opinion, some things are God given and some things can be taught. Quite frankly if I'm being honest, I hear vocal careers imploding worldwide mine included! 🤦♀️ By the way you're a vocal coach, critiquing is part of the job because that's the only way any one can learn and some of us are hear to learn from your opinions, as long as the respect is there and it is, critique away my friend!
Thanks for reacting Queen Sohyang. Since i listened to her songs . I didn't appreciate anyone anymore i did for her. I don't knpw but she sounds too special... she proves that human is the best sound ever! ❤❤ btw, you're my favorite man. Subbed!
I feel like to really appreciate this song you have to understand why Arirang is such an important song in Korean culture. I would highly suggest listening to Song So Hee sing Arirang from various regions in the traditional fashion.
In Korean culture they are perfectionist when it comes to their professional lives. They are very competitive. Also I'm finding out many Korean artists can speak more than one language.
I cry everytime I hear her 💙Great review ! I love how bright she is , but my favorite part of her "Bridge Over Troubled Water" is how WARM and BACK and RESONANT she goes when she says "ALLLLLL AAAAAROUNDDD"! Best part , man 🤘🏻
I love your reactions because you can actually sing well and you have unique insight into the techniques, and you are super respectful. Thanks man! EDIT: I agree with appreciating music from all over, actually most of my favorite songs now are in languages I don't speak, just hearing the song you can feel the emotion behind it and that's all you really need, its fantastic.
Ken: So good!! Steve Tam also is a vocal coach whose daughter is Celine Tam, but he does reaction to one of my favorite"s, Qiu Shi han sings "I want to have a Home" he calls her Zoey
With Sohyang, most people gets chills and goosebumps when she sings a cover song that is rearranged to suit her vocal range. Yes, 90% of the time you will be shook. You don't see female vocalists doing what she does because it is not just a note but half or three quarter of the song full of power belting and high notes. Easy for us to sing just a note to match, but extremely difficult to perform on stage in front of live audience powering through flawlessly.
You should react to So Hyang sing " I have nothing" she totally tore up Whitney's song and then some. She is THE BOSS, pitch, note length, range, dynamic's, breathe controll, emotions this lady can do it all.
yea , man totally agree with you , the world should know that talents so the music grow up better so on and so on... They are ofcourse an inspiration for everyone if they are about music , im recommending you 2 guys 1st is from turkey hayko cepkin -kabul olur his last song , second is from pakistan soch the band ft hadiya hashimi - bol hu nescafe basement , both are so different and unique .
You are so good! Amazing critique and I can see knowledge with everything you say. And that fact you sing along to demonstrate audibly your statements/critiques is so good.
🧛♀️❤️🎸🎬💙💙💙💙💙 💙💙💙💙💙 💙💙💙💙💙Just rewatched this reaction and noticed a comment by you that slipped past me previously ... Its true So Hyang doesn't need these competitions like this ... I am a singer or Immortal songs but keep in mind first it is not amateurs she competes with it is other establ shed singers in Koreas music industry many with insanely large fan bases as their agencies spend enormous amounts promoting them ... So Hyang being who she is even though she began 20 years ago has chosen not to sign with and agency or management company she is just a humble gospel singer .... and yet she manages to wipe out the competition nearly every time ... If it were not for these shows most of us international fans and many Korean fans would never have known who she is or have heard her amazing gift. Her popularity internationally is amazing mostly due in part to reaction videos like your own ... Just search TH-cam alone and you will find hundreds even thousands of reaction videos worldwide ... most have 20k and above views of unsuspecting people being left in shock and awe of the worlds best vocalist and becoming instant fans. So though she does not need these competitions I am forever greatful she does not avoid them ... To put it into a metaphor ... because she lost the ability to have children with her cancer the people of the world have become her children whom she comforts each time she sings us her lullaby's..♥🧛♀️❤️🎸🎬💙💙💙💙💙 💙💙💙💙💙 💙💙💙💙💙
Wow, one of the most beautiful pieces written about Sohyang and it is so true. Just to add a note: She was scouted numerous times by big agencies from States (I heard Michael Jackson being mentioned in one interview) and Korea and she rejected them all. She is a devout Christian and she prays to God for guidance. She said that signing with an agency gets her all the recognition and fame, and who won't want that. She is human and she was tempted of course. After praying to God, she decides that it is easy for her to leave the path that God has set for her if she steps into the entertainment world. So, she rejected them all. Till today, she does not have any social media link to her. No Facebook, no personal website, no Instagram and not even an email address that we can contact her with. She is just that low key. An amazing person sent from God above.

Here are two more for you from the same show, I think you are going to love them:.
"Lean on me" th-cam.com/video/GvsgCllcNPE/w-d-xo.html Michael Bolton was a guest on this episode, and the singers invited did covers of some of his songs/performances. Sohyang chose a fresh take on a song that Michael had extensively covered in the past. And it was epic.
"Raise me up" th-cam.com/video/te_L9ofhUt8/w-d-xo.html Shane from Westlife was a guest on this episode. Beautiful re-arrangement (the theme of the show is to invite notable Korean artists, make them re-arrange with their teams well known songs and then sing them live on stage) and execution.
Keep the goodness coming, cheers..C:
Dante800 Thanks for the info.
@@kentamplin Please react to So Hyang ' Lean on me ' and ' Everyone ' you will be amaze by her ^_^
Thanks for the suggestion Buffy Slayer!
OMG! I was satisfied with you doing Bridge Over Troubled Water, but you added Arirang Alone to the video too? Awesome! I forgive you for being nitpicky about forward singing( I love it!) , lol. As long as you give her props, it may not be your preferred way, but it works!
Rosannasfriend I'm glad I've redeemed myself!
@@kentamplin Thank you for critquing her. I think you are being nice. She is singing with a lot of constriction on those high larynx notes! closing her throat! i am sorry, her technique is terrible! atrophied chest voice, there is no squillo! her voice is terrible. pinched and noisy
@@kentamplin You are being nice to this people.. Their techniques are terrible! their voice is high larynx and not round! the terrible brightness and pinched sound..remove the mics and all you hear is noise... they do not have true squillo. Their chest voice is atrophied and the overtones and harmonics that thyroarrythenoid muscles which should be the core sound.. is missing! this is terrible singing Ken Tamplin and you know it... you are being nice..
@@olusegunodumosu2024 Wow we finally found you we've been looking for that one person who thinks Sohyang is terrible it took years but here you are the search is over everyone!!!
Im the big fans of SO HYANG... Im so love it..
And im so happy when you smile to So Hyang...
Appreciate your comments on promoting those lesser known singers who can bring joy to many more people around the world in this global village. Agree also with your observation that music from all corners of the world is coming together. Music is a language for which words are optional. The melody and rhythm have their own stories to tell without the language barrier. World class talents can be appreciated no matter what language they speak. Thanks for spending some time with Sohyang.
Yukuo Lee Well said. Thank you!
You wont get tired of this singer
Babymetal Sheets I don't think so either. Her voice is amazing!
@@kentamplin she really is addictive - she's a special one
Talent is talent. Makes no difference what country you are from.
Arirang alone is a song about uniting Korea once again
Thanks for sharing, Luis!
So Hyang is one of the best female singers alive and I'm really happy that you reacted to her video and I would recommend her arirang alone performance she just slayed it.just killer... KILLER
pardon me, I didn't know that you reacted to Arirang alone also and she has a beautiful version of "you raise me up".
her signature note is a mixed Bb5 and she can belt up to C#6.
yes thank you for checking her out Ken!! Amazing ✌️
Gary Simcox Thank you for listening!
Thank you for reacting to so hyang I love all of her song but I can't reach high pitch. once again thank you so much and please do more sohyang reaction
Lee min jung Thanks for viewing!
SoHyang is a sincere vocalist and artist who sings with her soul.
Thank you so much for your reaction and analysis. 🙇
Yes she does Hyang Lee! Thank you!
Awesome reaction video Ken! ☺🖒 So hyang has a beautiful voice! :)

her technique is no.1 in Asia period😍
*Queen of Mixed Voice*
*Queen of Angelic Head Voice*
*Queen of Resonance*
p/s: search for her FANCAM performance you will be awe by her supersonic resonance🙈
thanks react to her...plz react her more with her Fancam
She's amazing... Good to hear you mention that she's awesome and your critiques are just tweaks to get her to that NEXT level of fabulous! Also, you have a phenomenal range haha first time I've ever heard you sing, wowza!
Thanks Candace!
@@kentamplin well if she drops the high larynx and wide mouth singing.. her high notes go!
@@olusegunodumosu2024 I have little doubt So Hyang would blow you off the stage vocally and into last week.
She's so amazing. She and Dimash made me cry the first time I heard them. I love them. So inspiring.
MindlessMusings-They are both amazing!
@@kentamplin yes they are! Both of them give me motivation to continue practicing singing even if I'll never get to that level. It's just something I love. The emotions they provoke when they perform. It's just so incredible. Ugh. None of my friends get it when I talk about it. This comment section feels like home though xD I'm like "finally! People understand how I feel!"
She doesn't need popularity she just want people who want and appreciate his singing by the way thank you so much for this video 😊
너노래좀해?
So Hyang is the Queen of female Korean singers! Thanks for reacting to this!
Zion- Thanks for listening!
Thank You Vey Much For Reacting Queen Sohyang, One of The best Vocalist in this planet. I Suggest You Sir To React to Another Sohyang perf. You Raise Me Up, Lean On Me and I have Nothing, Ill promise you sir ITS epic!
Raymund Braña Thanks for the suggestion.
Thanks for reacting, i was so excited when i saw you reacting to her, She's the best
hussein trad Yay!! Awesome!
You answered ok, i will very cheerfully. You really understood her message and are a delightful Reactor.
THAT is why Dimash is King and Sohyang is Queen. Sohyang with TSO would have me freaking out... lol
Agreed Julie Keese! What a great combination that would be!
A lot of "Stanish" people have Asian DNA, which would explain why Dimash looks like a BTS member. The pronunciation of Korean words may explain why her oral formation of certain verbs are altered. She's a cervical cancer survivor & devoted Christian, which may lend to her "church" sound. My Korean family have been devoted Catholics since the 1500's. Go figure.
She is perfect. Perfect voice... Sing like an angel.
sonia oliviera 👍👍👍
@@kentamplinyou are a rock man, and because of that when you have time listen : Kim bada and suh moon tak. Title of the song : monalisa. He and she are the best rockers in korea. I hope you like. If you want I can help you with lyrics. I can sing in Korean language but im portuguese. Stay well and I hope you like. Cheers
I would be very curious to know what you think of Song Sohee, the most naturally gifted singer from Korea imo. She is singing in a traditional "Gugak" style, very unusual but yet unbelievable.
Thanks for the suggestion, Max!
My vocal Queen 👑
Thank you Professor Ken Tamplin for these valuable observations...! She's really amazing!... 👏👏👏👏👏

Yes do that one 🙏
It's INCREDIBLE!!!!
@@kentamplin you're most welcome!
yes please....and i'll subscribe too :0
Hi, Ken Tamplin, I'm so glad you reacted to So Hyang ! What the beautiful and amazing performances that were born with her unique voice and incredible singing ability !!! Thanks for your truly nice reaction ! From the U.S.
Bruce Lee Thank you!
You're here again lol. Man you really are an example of confirmation bias. If Ken thinks Dimash's techniques are great and he confirms Sohyang's great, you should take that objectively, not selectively. Being a fan boy is okay but just don't put a great singer down. I love both of them and they are both great technicians. Why can't you just accept that?
i respect her, truly. she had to battle the big C in her twenties ... im so happy she keeps performing untill now. she is amazing
She definitely is, MaraKpop Greece!
It's great to see you appreciate songs with an international flavor, Ken. A great singer is a great singer in any culture or language, and it's pretty heartwarming to see a true voice expert like you recognizes it.
UltraSupra Thank you. I appreciate that.
@@kentamplin You're welcome, Ken. You're a good man.
소향 짱 현존하는 가수중에 최고의 가창력 소유자 외국인도 인정할 수 밖에. ..
Kim So-hyang (born April 5, 1978), credited as Sohyang, is a South Korean singer.
She made debut in 1996 with the song "MR", which was released on Naver Music. Despite having a long career in South Korea, she was only able to make her international breakthrough in 2014, when she became the first Korean artist to sing the American national anthem at a NBA game. Sohyang also achieved fame when she sang with Michael Bolton & Kirk Franklin. Her has participated many times on television music competition programs Immortal Songs 2 and I Am a Singer, and the last King of Masked Singer (2017) winning twice on Immortal Songs 2 with songs "Lean on Me" and "Bridge Over Troubled Water" and You raise me Up 2018.
Disney's making contract with her in movie Moana, Sohyang voiced the protagonist in the Korean-dubbed version, for the singing parts (How far I'll go).
Sohyang's voice type is a Lyric Soprano, specifically a Full Lyric Soprano. Her vocal range spans from D3 to A6, a total of 3 octaves, 3 notes, and a semitone. She is known for her emotive and powerful vocals with characteristics being a homogeneous, rounded, and bright instrument of remarkable beauty and meticulous control. This skill has been very much well showcased all throughout her career.
Wow thank you so much!!! I like your reaction please more more sohyang
You are welcome, Ha Min Hwang!
When someone asked So Hyang how she learned to sing such high notes--and so smoothly--she said she listened to a Disney movie when she was a kid hundreds of times and just imitated it. She didn't know that she "wasn't supposed to be able to do that" so she just did it anyway and thought little of it. (That's how she learned English, too!) Oh man! What a God given genius talent she is! No one touches me with her singing more than So Hyang, and I'm a 61 year old guy that is far more into the blues and blues-driven rock and roll!
She also teaches vocal technique at a South Korean university and refuses to sign any recording contracts with the international corporations. She is convinced it will destroy her spiritually, since she is a Christian, and quotes Proverbs 14:12 and 16:25 "There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death." The excesses of the entertainment industry are repulsive to her, and after seeing the kind of people big "stars" turn into, I can't mount any kind of rational argument against her! She just wants to sing to raise money for charities, churches and missionary work. She took a lesson from Seth Riggs one time and says she learned virtually everything else on her own. Where do such people come from?
Moreover, she also has persistent problems from hepatitis B (from a blood transfusion when she had cancer surgery when she was 20) and is very prone to pneumonia. You can imagine how she feels with this coronavirus pneumonia pandemic all over the world and in South Korea! She has asked for her fans to pray for her protection from any more bouts of pneumonia, thus it is a very serious concern for her. She sang her "You Raise Me Up" performance for Shane Filan while still suffering from pneumonia. What can anyone say? She is a literal Wonder Woman!
Here is an English language interview she did for a Seoul FM radio station that explains a lot of what she is about. I KNOW you will enjoy it! th-cam.com/video/N2u_pmoWxj8/w-d-xo.html
👍
I think that is exactly what So Hyang and Dimash are doing, combining the best techniques from opera and pop styles into one magnific music. Gotta love them for that. Thanks
I'm loving it too, Santiago!
I really appreciate your reaction towards this. Like its genuinely constructive critism, even if she did a very good job but a little critism can bring her so much forward and much higher so critism isn't always that bad. i also agree that vocalist like this or TNT and dimash should get the appreciation they deserved, they should be known worldwide :D
Ive already watched that vid of arirang so many Times, until now its giving me a goosebump, Thank u for reacting her
Irish Dimaangay Thanks for viewing!
OMG.KOR singer.! I've been wathing your clips over the years from KOREA. Even i tried to visit your studio in Hawaii. wow..I couldn't expect you to introduce Korean singer. I am so glad to see that.
Bytheway, You are the greatest teacher on earth. I got lots of help from your video. Thanks.
1. Sohyang is devout Christian. she started her career as a CCM singer.
2. Her best skill is Whistle Voice as good as Mariah.
3. Arirang is traditional korean song and there are various version. Nat king cole liked Arirang also he sang a song.
5. She performed "Lean on Me" in front of Michael Bolton and she was invited his world tour.
6. She is first Korean singer who perform in NBA. Chris Paul said "it was the best National Anthem ever."
7. There were lots of singing competition by professional singer. Sohyang won a lot but not always.
There are many great singer including her. Psy, BTS cannot represent K-POP fully.
8. I couldn't believe what i ve seen when you approach sohyang's high note!!
BakssaL wow thanks for all that interesting info!
She doesn't whistle and no one comes close to Mariah in that register.
Literally why is he hitting all her notes😂😂 I’m *SHOOK*💀
because it is twang..nasality and all high larynx yells
@@odumosuolusegun2781 uhm
I understand what you're saying but numerous people have tried to sign & promote her but she doesn't sing to be famous,she just wants her music to help people in hardship feel better. If you know about her background you may understand
Linzi Grogan Thanks for the update!
Queen💪
Chau Amos 👑👑👑
As breathtaking a performance as this was, and as deserving of international acclaim So Hyang has shown herself to be, it's ALSO worth acknowledging how greatly Ken has informed and heightened my appreciation for her talent. His generosity of spirit seems to shield him (AND us) from that all-too-human failing shadowing all critics - using expertise to elevate themselves by demeaning a celebrated talent. Bravo, Ken.
Thank you, Tim.
Omg thank you for reacting to her!!♥♥
Kk Blanche Thanks for listening.
She's not a English speakers so i think
she is doing very well.
I love her voice.
She is awesome, sangmi Kim!
She is one devout Christian.... Sometimes she closes her eyes right before performing.... She actually prays to the Holy Spirit for a perfect performance... She has a great story to tell...
She doesn't wanna be a Rock Star. She just wanna sing to make people happy and surely she is using her talent in that way. That mindset of her is all shown by her attitudes and that's what makes 소향 so great and exceptional...^^
I agree with you 오재경!
So Hyang is the BEST!!!
Just unbelievable she's awesome, But I do believe she was born with a god givin talent and I'm a big believer in that.
HotGates Likely so.
Awesome reactions Ken! I hope you could also react to her masked performances beginning with Dear Love as these are on a different level. Looking forward!
thanks for the suggestion jun dela cruz!
My all time favourite Dear Love. About a woman whose husband abandoned her for a younger neighbour, and how she pines for her despite his cheating on her. The song was written for a drama.
The song is sung with lots of pain and wailing, one waves after another with increasing intensity. It is so beautiful yet painful. I teared every single time I listen to Sohyang sings this song.
She's top5 diva in the world!!!
Arirang is a traditional Korean folk song that all of us Koreans know. It is believed that "Arirang" originated in Jeongseon, Gangwon Province. According to a legend, the name is derived from the story of a bachelor and a maiden who fell in love while picking camellia blossoms near the wharf at Auraji (아우라지). There are two versions of this story. In the first one, the bachelor cannot cross the Auraji to meet the maiden because the water is too high so they sing a song to express their sorrow. In the second version, the bachelor attempts to cross the Auraji and drowns, singing the sorrowful song as he dies. During the Japanese occupation of Korea from 1910 to 1945, "Arirang" became a resistance anthem against Imperial Japanese rule. Korean protesters sang "Arirang" during the March 1 Movement, a Korean demonstration against Japan in 1919. Many of the variations of "Arirang" that were written during the occupation contain themes of injustice, the plight of laborers, and guerrilla warfare. In modern times, it's a song about uniting with our brothers and sisters up north and is an emotionally packed song that many Koreans hold dear. This was probably the best version of Arirang I have ever heard sung and when this aired, I know it moved many Koreans to tears. I can't underline the sheer emotional strength this song has on us in South Korea.
Very cool information Joshua Fuhrman! Thanks for educating me!
I saw a lot of female singers since over 30 years.... but this is fantastic. She is a very humble, natural and down to earth. she is a very nice human. KISS!!!
No doubt. . .!!! Sohyang is Best of the Best!!!!!
AegisOf spirits yes she is amazing!
You should check Mona Lisa and It's Only my world. They are rock songs
Grégory Daudé Thanks for the suggestion.
Please please PLEASE react to more of her she is THE BEST
Aadamize thanks for the suggestion, she is awesome!
Minister, Teacher, Singer, Master Arranger and Novelist...a special lady!
😊
Much respect to Miss So Hyang! 👏 Her vocal prowess, technic and control allows for that mix to go in to the stratosphere, it's possibly the highest I've ever heard (aside from Dimash). Her head voice is heavenly and she emotes beautifully, her technic is class A! Her belts remind me of Celine Dion, who in my opinion is the belting queen, the power behind them is immense. 🤯 For me vocal discernment plays a big part, she knows her voice and what and where she can go with it. This is why vocal lessons are so important in my opinion, some things are God given and some things can be taught. Quite frankly if I'm being honest, I hear vocal careers imploding worldwide mine included! 🤦♀️ By the way you're a vocal coach, critiquing is part of the job because that's the only way any one can learn and some of us are hear to learn from your opinions, as long as the respect is there and it is, critique away my friend!
😀
Thanks for reacting Queen Sohyang. Since i listened to her songs . I didn't appreciate anyone anymore i did for her. I don't knpw but she sounds too special... she proves that human is the best sound ever! ❤❤ btw, you're my favorite man. Subbed!
👍
I feel like to really appreciate this song you have to understand why Arirang is such an important song in Korean culture. I would highly suggest listening to Song So Hee sing Arirang from various regions in the traditional fashion.
In Korean culture they are perfectionist when it comes to their professional lives. They are very competitive. Also I'm finding out many Korean artists can speak more than one language.
I cry everytime I hear her 💙Great review ! I love how bright she is , but my favorite part of her "Bridge Over Troubled Water" is how WARM and BACK and RESONANT she goes when she says "ALLLLLL AAAAAROUNDDD"! Best part , man 🤘🏻
Emi Pellegrino I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
Yes! Thanks for showing me how to examine not only technique but artistry Ken.So did a wonderful job! And you rock for the human race.
Thank you so much Paul Toy, I'm glad it's helped!
Now react to Lean on me by SoHyang. Killer vocals!
Thanks for the suggestion Layla Grace! I'll see what I can do.
She seems to be able to do everything about singing.
Cant stop crying!
Do you need a tissue, Stefan?
Her head voice sounds like a angel, wow like all the breath control she has along with her head voice is incredible
Most developed mixed voice/belting I've ever heard
Marios POS 👍👍
I love your reactions because you can actually sing well and you have unique insight into the techniques, and you are super respectful. Thanks man! EDIT: I agree with appreciating music from all over, actually most of my favorite songs now are in languages I don't speak, just hearing the song you can feel the emotion behind it and that's all you really need, its fantastic.
Ken: So good!! Steve Tam also is a vocal coach whose daughter is Celine Tam, but he does reaction to one of my favorite"s, Qiu Shi han sings "I want to have a Home" he calls her Zoey
Thanks for the suggestion, Wes!
Had to pause again to say that Ken, you're the only man I know who could pull off that shirt, but somehow, you do. LOL Good job. Hahaha good job! :-)
The World Of Julie Lynn Why, thank you!
Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy ☺️
Good taste and looking good. Lol. Seriously
Love what you said at 5:50.
And...YOU ARE AN AMAZING SINGER!!!
Thank you, Sovann!
100% AGREE WITH YOUR OPINION ABOUT APPRECIATING MUSIC EVEN IN FOREIGN LANGUAGES.
That was eyes watering GOOD.
PenkkiPekka I agree!
The more eye watering songs would be Dear Love, Hug Me, Fate, Where are you and Saldaga - more impactful with Eng sub. Enjoy.
Awesome reaction, interesting perspective from a vocal coach, thanks.
W O W her voice is gorgeous WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Had to pause at 3:18 to say that....okay back to the video........ :-)
The World Of Julie Lynn It is!
With Sohyang, most people gets chills and goosebumps when she sings a cover song that is rearranged to suit her vocal range. Yes, 90% of the time you will be shook. You don't see female vocalists doing what she does because it is not just a note but half or three quarter of the song full of power belting and high notes. Easy for us to sing just a note to match, but extremely difficult to perform on stage in front of live audience powering through flawlessly.
You should react to So Hyang sing " I have nothing" she totally tore up Whitney's song and then some.
She is THE BOSS, pitch, note length, range, dynamic's, breathe controll, emotions this lady can do it all.
yea , man totally agree with you , the world should know that talents so the music grow up better so on and so on... They are ofcourse an inspiration for everyone if they are about music , im recommending you 2 guys 1st is from turkey hayko cepkin -kabul olur his last song , second is from pakistan soch the band ft hadiya hashimi - bol hu nescafe basement , both are so different and unique .
You are so good! Amazing critique and I can see knowledge with everything you say. And that fact you sing along to demonstrate audibly your statements/critiques is so good.
Alex V Thanks. I appreciate that!
Queen sohyang
larkholic 👍👍👍
🧛♀️❤️🎸🎬💙💙💙💙💙 💙💙💙💙💙 💙💙💙💙💙Just rewatched this reaction and noticed a comment by you that slipped past me previously ... Its true So Hyang doesn't need these competitions like this ... I am a singer or Immortal songs but keep in mind first it is not amateurs she competes with it is other establ shed singers in Koreas music industry many with insanely large fan bases as their agencies spend enormous amounts promoting them ... So Hyang being who she is even though she began 20 years ago has chosen not to sign with and agency or management company she is just a humble gospel singer .... and yet she manages to wipe out the competition nearly every time ... If it were not for these shows most of us international fans and many Korean fans would never have known who she is or have heard her amazing gift. Her popularity internationally is amazing mostly due in part to reaction videos like your own ... Just search TH-cam alone and you will find hundreds even thousands of reaction videos worldwide ... most have 20k and above views of unsuspecting people being left in shock and awe of the worlds best vocalist and becoming instant fans. So though she does not need these competitions I am forever greatful she does not avoid them ... To put it into a metaphor ... because she lost the ability to have children with her cancer the people of the world have become her children whom she comforts each time she sings us her lullaby's..♥🧛♀️❤️🎸🎬💙💙💙💙💙 💙💙💙💙💙 💙💙💙💙💙
Thanks for the interesting information, Jina!
Wow, one of the most beautiful pieces written about Sohyang and it is so true. Just to add a note: She was scouted numerous times by big agencies from States (I heard Michael Jackson being mentioned in one interview) and Korea and she rejected them all. She is a devout Christian and she prays to God for guidance. She said that signing with an agency gets her all the recognition and fame, and who won't want that. She is human and she was tempted of course. After praying to God, she decides that it is easy for her to leave the path that God has set for her if she steps into the entertainment world. So, she rejected them all. Till today, she does not have any social media link to her. No Facebook, no personal website, no Instagram and not even an email address that we can contact her with. She is just that low key. An amazing person sent from God above.
That's really cool Ignatius Chua
She did some lives singing songs more close to rock stuff like Mona lisa
Cool, Mt X!
She's brilliant!
Trish Hinkle 👍👍👍👍
