@@ergatimpet4971 😂 You definitely don't know at all who SoHyang is. She is well recognized as one of World's best vocalist of our time if not the best.
Jennifer, welcome to the amazing world of Sohyang. She does her own arrangements for onstage performances. She does the music, chorus, orchestra, staging. She is a university music lecturer, author , cancer survivor, Gospel Singer. Try this for your next reaction. Here is Sohyang singing her personal arrangement of "I Have Nothing". Cheers.
For head voice showcase, you should definitely check out “Arirang Alone” and “Everyone”. Try finding the video with English subtitle on vimeo, it will be better

Since back in 2015, I've encountered SoHyang Kim on TH-cam and I was dumb founded. Bridge over Troubled water was "Compelling". I have watched her covers over and over each, and was flabbergasted. SoHyang Kim you gave me strength to live. 진심으로 감사드립니다. CLL survivor remission since may 2021.
Welcome to the world of SoHyang~!!! She is CCM/GOSPEL SINGER of South KOREA and cancer survivor. . She is one of the greatest vocalist in the world.But She wasn't known as well as popular because She sing for GOD and Comfort people who has hardtime Not for fame or money. ..In her youth, she turned down all offers from mega agencies for her beliefs...and now she is 43years old. .She has so many legendary live performances . She always sings with sincerity whenever and wherever. So it comforts those who listen to her song...That's why I love her...And her singing skills are the best, not to mention... This performance is just tip of iceberg.. . Thanks for your reaction of Queen Sohyang ♥
Thank you for the reaction and a warm welcome to the amazing world of Sohyang. She is Korean (now 43), a ccm/gospel singer, devout Christian, cancer survivor and one of the best female vocalists currently on the planet. She took this Simon and Garfunkel classic, put her twist on it, and make it unique and her own, as always (she does her own arrangements btw). Check out her performances of Arirang Alone and You Raise Me Up (2018) both from the show Immortal Songs 2, as what you witnessed is just the tip of the iceberg.

Kim So Hyang's vocal type is a Full Lyric Soprano. Her showcased vocal range spans from D3 to A6 (consistent supported range from G♯3 to E6),a total of three octaves, three notes and a semitone. According to So Hyang, the highest note she can sing is an E♭7. This means that she has an overall range of approximately four octaves and one semitone. However, this range hasn't been showcased to its fullest extent yet, as the highest note she has publicly showcased is A6. Her belting range/mixed voice extends up to a Soprano C♯ (C♯6). She is known for her emotive and powerful vocals and meticulous control. Her vocals have been praised by various vocal coaches and singers like Seth Riggs and Michael Bolton and Shane Filan (and That List Grows each Day)
@@BeagleBellow Not to defend Kraze Reaction, but he clearly states it's her reaction and links her original reaction video - that's how I found Jennifer. Also, it's directed mostly to Korean audience with translated subtitles because many Koreans may not understand Jennifer's great reaction without a proper Korean subtitles.
Sohyang sang for her church and she worked through dealing with cancer so another reason that makes this song hit super hard is because you can feel her emotion in it, she is being genuine and you can feel it. This version of this song always gives me goosebumps when she sings it.
Sohyang is awesome. I hope youll react to her song called Everyone. Its amazing. Even Sohyang herself said its one of the most difficult songs she sings because if the breath control it takes. its really emotional also,
@@JenniferGlatzhofer yes, sure, please use VIMEO with subtitles, its a legendary masterpiece the performance of the song Everyone, She made the arrangements
There are countless modifiers for Sohyang: Queen of Belting, Queen of Mix Voice, Queen of Resonance, Queen of Bb5 and so on. That's why she is Queen Sohyang.💕👑
Great reaction, Jennifer. My first reaction to So Hyang was Arirang Alone and it's still one of my favorites. She is one of the most amazing female vocalists on the planet. Her pitch, control and emotive power are incredible. And she is just so decent and kind and humble. Others have made recommendations but of those I've reacted to, my top 3 for you would be: Everyone (English subs), Arirang Alone and Lean On Me. But any performance will be amazing. Love to watch you nerd out with describing what's going on with the vocal mechanism but mostly it was great to see the emotion of her performance touch you. Best of luck with your channel! I just subscribed btw. :-)
Awesome reaction & analysis of our Queen SoHyang! Besides her unworldly angelic voice instrument, she shows the most emotion, facial, hand gestures that ultimately captivates all of her wonderful fans with the most FEELS(Yes, enough to drop a tear or two or more). As you will find out from her army of terrific followers that she is a very humble person as well! Sharing her heavenly voice, not for fame, but to comfort all the grief & duress that we all are now experiencing. Please more SoHyang reactions.... She has many many more..."Lean on Me" "Arirang Alone"(old traditional Korean folk song) "Raise me Up"(She was sick at this time) & her masterpiece "Everyone"(A absolute MUST to get the english subtitles version-vimeo version)... Please be Safe! Aloha from Hawaii!😊
Phenomenal! ThxU 4✨SoHyang, a 43yo Christian / Gospel singer and master of mix, known for her arrangements, power, control, tone, impeccable technique and kindness/humility, (but she indeed SLAYS)! She credits her voice as God given, so has NO social media and has declined fame / offers as her mission is to only sing to comfort others, (mission accomplished - I’m moved to tears too) 🤍✨ 🇺🇸

If you want to talk about mixed voice, you can have a field day with Sohyang, who has truly mastered her mixed voice with control, agility and power. It's not unexpected for vocal coach to try to focus on the technical aspect of singing, but I do admire how you attempted to stay focused as you toiled to tame down the emotional impact this song has on you. Of course, as a Sohyang fan, I have seen many, and experienced myself, surrender themselves to her vocal magic. Yet you made the effort to relate your observation on the techniques for those with vocal aspiration. While I was amazed repeatedly by what Sohyang can do technically, her ability to convey the emotional context is what keep her as my favorite singer for the past five years. Very glad you made your acquaintance with her in this performance, the same one that introduced me to her. Sohyang has numerous fantastic performances available online, but for vocal professionals, I'd suggest that they check out Sohyang's stage of Arirang Alone, singing in her native language @ th-cam.com/video/zFyndK9VOCk/w-d-xo.html but you can just watch just about any one of her stages for an outstanding showing. Hope to see you again.
A warm welcome to The World of Sohyang and thanks for the wonderful reaction. When a beautiful soul delivers a comforting message through a great vocal, what else can we do but shed tears. She's special, so plz keep on sharing her music. It means a lot🙂.
Such a sweet and delicate sound before the jet engine kicks on; I can still feel the afterburners and am left wanting more of this supremely talented artist; nice explanation of her technique. Beautiful performance and beautiful reaction to it. Thank you for the emotional response while still giving explanation to what happened.
"You Raise Me Up" Thank you so much for commenting. Sohyang-nim is a person who has a better sense of reality. Accurate pronunciation and singing without being crushed as the pitch of the CD is It is a diva that is like a treasure of our time, handled freely. Thank you.
Thank you very much for your reaction. When I always listen to Sohyang's song, I often get overwhelming emotions like something boils up in my heart... Please react to Sohyang's other song. "You raise me up", "Alone Arirang", "Everyone", I will always love you", "Lean on me", "Monaliza", "Where are you?", "Power of love" etc...
I love listening to Sohyang. She is a devoted Christian and gospel singer. She is a cancer survivor. She doesn't go for wealth and fame but to inspire and comfort people with her singing. I listed down a few songs to keep you going 1) Arirang Alone (Immortal Songs 2 singing competition- native language but the have English subtitle in TH-cam) unofficial national anthem song btw North Korea and South Korea longing for unification. 2) I will always love you (Begin Again Korea- road show busking during coronavirus period to comfort people) 3) if I ain't got you (Begin Again Korea) 4) you raise me up (Immortal Songs 2) 5) I have nothing (DMC FESTIVE) 6) Everyone (Korea gospel song in mix native language and English) MUST WATCH ON VIMEO because Vimeo has English subtitle whilst TH-cam doesn't have English caption. Masterpiece song 7) Lean on me (Immortal Songs 2) Enjoy 😉.
We all tend to lose our minds when we first hear So Hyang sing, especially Bridge Over Troubled Water. Most of us (dare I say that?) consider this her best performance but she has so many colossally GREAT performances one hardly knows where to start. Since I discovered her one and a half years ago she has become my favourite singer by far. Here's a biography I wrote up about her so you can discover what an extraordinary person she is. By the way, you may not have noticed but So Hyang covers an _entire octave_ in just that first verse! **************************** We all wonder if So Hyang is human or from another planet. Current odds are that she’s from another planet, with an outside chance she’s actually an angel come down from Heaven. 😇 We have never heard anyone sing like her, or be able to hold an audience in the palm of her hand until she lets them go. Her voice is, as one person described it, like liquid gold. Perfection in clarity and pitch, and she doesn’t fade in the upper octaves, which is startling when you hear her hit those 5th and 6th octave notes with such _POWER_ it actually gives everyone goose bumps-and makes us bald guys’ hair stand on end! As she says, her voice “is from God.” She does all the musical arrangements herself (with the input of her musical assistants), 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, to strengthen those suffering through difficult times. 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 43 on April 5, 2021, though in Korean culture she would be 44 because you are deemed to be one year old when you are born. She was about 37 when she sang this version of “Arirang Alone”, their unofficial national anthem based on a 600 year old folk song expressing their desire to reunify north and south: vimeo.com/308253527 After being sick with pneumonia eight times from 2016 through to 2020, and considering giving up singing altogether, she chastised herself and entered 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 perform eight concerts together at Tokyo’s famous Blue Note Club in late-2018. Here is the interview where So Hyang related the events: th-cam.com/video/EqeE_1nP-Kk/w-d-xo.html (Be sure to turn on English subtitles.) Here is the version of “I Have Nothing” Oprah, David Foster and the rest watched on TH-cam: th-cam.com/video/T4UyIMkdy4M/w-d-xo.html She preceded it with this blockbuster: vimeo.com/312061203 She could be an international Super Star if she wanted to be but has decided that it would ruin her spiritually, quoting Proverbs 14:12 and 16:25 which both say “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 the basement in her home numerous times and closing the door so she could complain vehemently to God that He was holding her back from becoming famous due to her health problems and other unforeseeable events. Then she later saw a Korean TV drama where the talented daughter of a very successful businessman was positive she would take over when her father retired. But he left the management of the company to a woman she hated, so she had a fit and lay kicking and screaming on the floor. So Hyang says she saw herself in that young woman and then understood that God was keeping her from developing self-destructive character by withholding celebrity status from her. th-cam.com/video/rl-jX9kBsEs/w-d-xo.html (Again, turn on English subtitles.) So as a consequence she does not pursue fame or fortune and actually has no social media presence whatsoever. What can one say about such a person? She is a literal Wonder Woman! And we need about a billion more just like her! On Oct. 5, 2020, it was revealed that So Hyang turned down yet _another_ contract offer, this time 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, open and genuine, with a stage charisma, facial expressions and smile that is off the charts. In Korean dictionaries 소 향 (So Hyang) has several meanings. • First is a type of Korean traditional music. • Second is to burn incense on a burner. • Third is to go toward. But these meanings are rarely used today and hers is a quite uncommon name. 소 향 is also the name of a heroine in a Korean traditional novel. So in retrospect her name was well chosen, and you can take your pick! Please analyze her performance of “Bridge Over Troubled Water”: th-cam.com/video/C6iHh4yBxCo/w-d-xo.html 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 where they do Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons’ “Can’t Take My Eyes Off Of You”: vimeo.com/439148918 And this version of her singing “Oh Holy Night”: vimeo.com/322716334 Here she performs “Lean On Me” before Michael Bolton, who called her a vocal “virtuoso” after her performance: th-cam.com/video/GvsgCllcNPE/w-d-xo.html This is a wonderful Jazz inflected performance of “His Eye Is On The Sparrow”: th-cam.com/video/H1vppvq_F-8/w-d-xo.html Wait until you see her duet of David Foster's “The Prayer” with Jeong Ui Geu: th-cam.com/video/rte-q3kunp8/w-d-xo.html And finally “Will You Be There”: th-cam.com/video/nBdSpexUxik/w-d-xo.html 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 I know, bananas isn’t it? Oh, I just remembered, she is also a published novelist and theological treatist, 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, does the musical vocals for many South Korean television dramas, and is a talented artist and cartoonist. She can also play the piano and guitar. Is there anything this genius level woman can’t do? Though she is less than 5' 4" and only 100 pounds, So Hyang simply transcends the thresholds of music and takes you there with her. She becomes the song when she sings it. An experience like no other. I don’t know what else to say. I’ve spent _entire days_ listening to her, and shed more than a few tears of joy along the way. I really must also compliment the choir, orchestra and audio/video production people So Hyang works with. They are all top notch from what I can see and hear. The Korean people are easily as talented as anyone else. As you can see, I am a shameless fan. 😉
I can confidently say this. If we picked her top 50 live performances and ranked them, her 50th ranked performance is better than 90% of all singers out there. That is how amazing her performances are and how huge her catalog is compared to other artists. Big name artists would be lucky to have 10 signature songs but So Hyang has over 50 easy, thanks to her recent performances from Begin Again.
Love the reaction! Yup welcome to the Sohyang world! Where tons say she’s the Queen and Dimash is the King. Sohyang is by far the best to me! Her total package of talent, skills that go well beyond vocals, beautiful background life story, and most of all, what she stands for. She does all her own arrangements. She also has many more songs. Rap, Pop, Jazz, Rock, and of course her wheel house, gospel. Mahalo and Aloha from Hawaii! 🤙
Hi Jennifer. Great reaction to such an amazing performance! We love your reactions! I recommend the next few songs to listen to. Everyone, Arirang Alone, You raise me up and Lean on me. They are all amazing and you will be shocked! Looking forward to your next reaction P.S. It is always great to see a reactor from the UK (We are in London)!
@@JenniferGlatzhofer No problem at all. Have you ever listened to Lara Fabian? If not you should! She is incredible and sings with so much emotion, feeling and passion. One of the best singers in the world (in her day). React to Je Suis Malade (subtitles is a must). You will be amazed! Will send you more recommendations afterwards.
Hello Jennifer. I'm Sohyang Pen from Korea. Jennifer, I was so happy to see your reaction and it was a good time. I'll subscribe and come to your channel often, cheering you on you. ^^ Fighting!!
Welcome to Sohyang's world. :) You won't find anyone else quite like her. Hope you react to more. I suggest 'I Will Always Love You' on Begin Again Korea.
Hello Jennifer, first I want to thank you so much for all your engaging and really educating reactions. In the difficult time of the last two years they were a real comfort and joy to spend time with you and the way you react to music. It's funny but I first heard Morrisett's "Defying gravity" on your channel and was discovering that mind blowing rendition together with you. I know that this reaction to Sohyang's interpretation of the famous Simon and Garfunkel's song you made long time ago, but only now I have seen this very unique and very dear moment after the nineth minute where your more technical look met the message of this amazing song. For me it is so much an assuring message of somebody's/Somebody's care and sacrificing love for us. Sohyang literally seems to put all her strenght to convince us about it, although she herself was quite ill at that time. This is this crucial point where a song crosses the treshold between an artistic expression and the message of comfort and loving assistance in the real life, and from then on we feel it with our whole body and soul that it is the most important and serious matter. And I saw it in the way your face changed. Thank you very much! PS: By the way, I heard that same thing in two Morrisett's songs, first her "Could you be Messiah?" and then "Rise Up" which for me is a kind of reassuring answer to that question. And "Defying gravity" should be prescribed to everybody who feels down and out or depressed.
Finally a video from So Hyang!! She's more than an outstanding vocalist, she sings with her soul. You should react to Arirang Alone and Everyone, I'm sure you'll love it!
There are so many good singers in this world, you know..... Sohyang is one of them, but special thing is..... Sohyang is an extraordinary singer. She can make us feel emotional and she has a magic she can make us cry. So touching songs~!!! Her fantastic smile and soft & powerful voice make us feel eomotion and us weep from ours deep mind. Addicted to her automatically....^^ LOVE
Hello ^^ Thank you for letting her know She is my favorite singer ..Her voice is like a jade ball rolling :) I subscribed .. good luck! Next plz .. SoHyang's "Upon This Rock " ~♡
I love your reaction. She is phenomenal. She is so beautiful and you are so beautiful too😍. I feel that she is humble & so lovely & so kind. thank you reaction video.
Beautiful reaction Jennifer ! I think it's time to focus and react to one of the most talented and unique young artist around Angelina Jordan ! I'm sure you most of her of her from Norway's Got Talent which she won at 7 years old ! ! At 8 she tore the cover of" I put a spell on you " in You Tube ! Her reduction of" Bohemian Rhapsody " on AGT the Champions edition when she was 13 was the most compelling and unique cover ever ! Her own songs "Million Miles and "7th Heaven " are remarkable at 14 ! If you get a chance react to them ! You will be blown away for sure , guaranteed ! Enjoy your day and keep posting 🙏🤗👍❤️
For those who love Dimash and Sohyang, another must see singer is Zhao Shen from China. Because of his small stature, feminine disposition and voice, he was often bullied in school. Never thinking that he had what it takes to be a singer, he went tot he Ukraine to become a dentist. While there, he was convinced that he did have a great singing ability, thus transferred his major to music. Thank goodness he did. As an introduction into Zhao "Charlie" Shen, begin with his premiere performance on the Voice of China singing HuanYan. After this first video, move on to his versions of "Memory", and "Time to Say Goodbye". For something different from him, watch his version of "Let It Go" and "Monsters". Last, but definitely not least (there is so much more from him), enjoy the videos, "This is Me" and a very unique and fun song (one of my favs) "Da La Beng Ba". His biggest success is the song "Big Fish".
Welcome to the amazing world of the 'queen of mix', sohyang, who has to be the most famous 'unfamous' vocalist in the world. Its hard to comprehend how someone so good isn't a household name, but that is her choice,she isn't interested in fame & fortune,refusing all offers from all the big record companies that have tried to sign her. Although she is a gospel singer at heart,this wonderful lady can literally sing any genre,rock,pop,blues/jazz,the big ballads & can even be seen rapping in the song 'day day'. She is known as the 'queen of mix', for obvious reasons,although many refer to her simply as the 'queen' when dimash is regarded as the 'king' of vocals, but she can take her chest voice up really high & her transitions are so smooth that unless you concentrate or know what you're looking for (like a vocal coach such as yourself) its really hard to tell where the change took place. Although she can obviously go a lot higher,her signature note is Bb5, its a real sweet spot for her. Besides been an excellent vocalist she is also a very accomplished arranger & is responsible for the whole arrangment of all the songs she performs,this was her arrangment of 'bridge over troubled water'. No matter what she is singing,there will always be something in her arrangment that differs from the arrangment dependant on the song & in the circumstances she is performing it. Some songs she changes quite drastically & others very little but only ever to improve the song,she is far too respectful to make a 'worse' version of a song. If you are to futher explore the world of sohyang then you'd better get used to crying or nearly crying during a performance,even when she's singing in her native language. I dont understand a word of korean but when subtitles aren't available I can still be brought to tears by her performance & tbh, even when subs are provided,I find myself so mesmerised by her that I dont even read them anyway & whatever she is singing,she has this ability to make you feel you are the only one in the audience & she is singing just to you, so dont ever be put off watching her perform in korean. I would also suggest that you read her back story,why she's not famous & why she sings etc. I am sure you'llbe bombarded with suggestions of what to watch next but I think 'bridge over troubled water' is many people's 1st experience of sohyang and quite often the next song that is recommended is a korean song called 'Arirang Alone' from the tv show 'immortal songs 2' which she rearranged & took it from a very simple folk song about the longing amongst the korean people that one day the north & south will once again live as one, to the more anthemic number you will hopefully experience, but tbh, anything by her will be worth your time,I have never seen a bad performance. Once again,welcome to the world of SoHyang & thankyou for your honest & informative reaction,I look forward to more in the future now I am subscribed to your channel.

She is Korean (now 43), a ccm/gospel singer, devout Christian, cancer survivor and one of the best female vocalists currently on the planet. She took this Simon and Garfunkel classic, put her twist on it, and make it unique and her own, as always (she does her own arrangements btw). Check out her performances of Arirang Alone and You Raise Me Up (2018) both from the show Immortal Songs 2, as what you witnessed is just the tip of the iceberg.
Amazing! Thanks 😊

So so good!!
Queen So Hyang
I love So Hyang... Kisses from Italy... ❤️❤️❤️
She’s great! Thanks for watching 😊
It is lucky to listen to Sohyang's songs in this era. Looks like an angel from another world. 🇰🇷👍
Sohyang is my Queen of female Singers :)
😭😭😭 I need more sohyang video😍😍💕
Kim So Hyang's vocal type is a Full Lyric Soprano. Her showcased vocal range spans
from D3 to A6 (consistent supported range from G♯3 to E6),a total of three octaves,
three notes and a semitone. According to So Hyang, the highest note she can sing is
an E♭7. This means that she has an overall range of approximately four octaves and
one semitone. However, this range hasn't been showcased to its fullest extent yet,
as the highest note she has publicly showcased is A6. Her belting range/mixed voice
extends up to a Soprano C♯ (C♯6). She is known for her emotive and powerful vocals
and meticulous control. Her vocals have been praised by various vocal coaches and
singers like Seth Riggs and Michael Bolton and Shane Filan (and That List Grows each Day)
사랑스러운 리액션이에여 넘아름답기도하시구
Well this was super emotional for sure! Thank you for suggesting Sohyang to me
its a shame that Kraze Reaction stole your reaction and has 3 times the views.. hope you report people who steal your content
@@BeagleBellow Not to defend Kraze Reaction, but he clearly states it's her reaction and links her original reaction video - that's how I found Jennifer. Also, it's directed mostly to Korean audience with translated subtitles because many Koreans may not understand Jennifer's great reaction without a proper Korean subtitles.
Please react to Raise me up from her.
Have you reaction So Hyang Amazing Grace? Almost acapella
She's a gospel singer. The arrangement is gospel. I believe she did the arrangement.
Sohyang sang for her church and she worked through dealing with cancer so another reason that makes this song hit super hard is because you can feel her emotion in it, she is being genuine and you can feel it. This version of this song always gives me goosebumps when she sings it.
Sohyang is awesome. I hope youll react to her song called Everyone. Its amazing. Even Sohyang herself said its one of the most difficult songs she sings because if the breath control it takes. its really emotional also,
Better bring my tissues for it then! Thank you 😊
@@JenniferGlatzhofer yes, sure, please use VIMEO with subtitles, its a legendary masterpiece the performance of the song Everyone, She made the arrangements
Wow
Welcome to Sohyang's world where you feel love and passion. For next up, "I have nothing" at DMC festival is recommended. Hope u enjoy.
need more Sohyang
More will come!
Thank you for the reaction.
Welcome to Sohyang's world~^^
Great performance~😇🥰😍👑
I could listen to Sohyang sing this for hours!
이제서야 봤네요..
진지하고 솔직담백한 평가 인상적입니다
당신도 멋지십니다~~
There are countless modifiers for Sohyang: Queen of Belting, Queen of Mix Voice, Queen of Resonance, Queen of Bb5 and so on. That's why she is Queen Sohyang.💕👑
Also Queen Of Heavenly Headvoice.
@@robertmyers7383 👍😉
Queen.
Great reaction, Jennifer. My first reaction to So Hyang was Arirang Alone and it's still one of my favorites. She is one of the most amazing female vocalists on the planet. Her pitch, control and emotive power are incredible. And she is just so decent and kind and humble. Others have made recommendations but of those I've reacted to, my top 3 for you would be: Everyone (English subs), Arirang Alone and Lean On Me. But any performance will be amazing. Love to watch you nerd out with describing what's going on with the vocal mechanism but mostly it was great to see the emotion of her performance touch you. Best of luck with your channel! I just subscribed btw. :-)
She is a masterpiece 👍🥰
Amazing vocal techniques!
Thank you for your great reaction ⚘
Awesome reaction & analysis of our Queen SoHyang! Besides her unworldly angelic voice instrument, she shows the most emotion, facial, hand gestures that ultimately captivates all of her wonderful fans with the most FEELS(Yes, enough to drop a tear or two or more). As you will find out from her army of terrific followers that she is a very humble person as well! Sharing her heavenly voice, not for fame, but to comfort all the grief & duress that we all are now experiencing. Please more SoHyang reactions.... She has many many more..."Lean on Me" "Arirang Alone"(old traditional Korean folk song) "Raise me Up"(She was sick at this time) & her masterpiece "Everyone"(A absolute MUST to get the english subtitles version-vimeo version)... Please be Safe! Aloha from Hawaii!😊
Amazing, thank you! 😊
저는 한국사람입니다.종종 울적한 마음을 소향의 노래로 치유받습니다. 우연히 소향의 리액션 체널에서 보게되어 함께 울고 웃고있습니다.
좋은 리액션으로 감동주셔서 감사합니다.당신의 체널도 응원하겠습니다. 행운이 가득하시길!
Phenomenal! ThxU 4✨SoHyang, a 43yo Christian / Gospel singer and master of mix, known for her arrangements, power, control, tone, impeccable technique and kindness/humility, (but she indeed SLAYS)!
She credits her voice as God given, so has NO social media and has declined fame / offers as her mission is to only sing to comfort others, (mission accomplished - I’m moved to tears too) 🤍✨ 🇺🇸
So special 🥰

Wasn’t it?! 😱
If you want to talk about mixed voice, you can have a field day with Sohyang, who has truly mastered her mixed voice with control, agility and power. It's not unexpected for vocal coach to try to focus on the technical aspect of singing, but I do admire how you attempted to stay focused as you toiled to tame down the emotional impact this song has on you. Of course, as a Sohyang fan, I have seen many, and experienced myself, surrender themselves to her vocal magic. Yet you made the effort to relate your observation on the techniques for those with vocal aspiration.
While I was amazed repeatedly by what Sohyang can do technically, her ability to convey the emotional context is what keep her as my favorite singer for the past five years. Very glad you made your acquaintance with her in this performance, the same one that introduced me to her.
Sohyang has numerous fantastic performances available online, but for vocal professionals, I'd suggest that they check out Sohyang's stage of Arirang Alone, singing in her native language @ th-cam.com/video/zFyndK9VOCk/w-d-xo.html but you can just watch just about any one of her stages for an outstanding showing. Hope to see you again.
Thank you!!! 😊😊
@@freddiekim5995 Well, I am actually American who's born in Taiwan. I enjoy posting about Sohyang for those who share the same fascination about her.
A warm welcome to The World of Sohyang and thanks for the wonderful reaction. When a beautiful soul delivers a comforting message through a great vocal, what else can we do but shed tears. She's special, so plz keep on sharing her music. It means a lot🙂.
Thank you!! For sure 😊
Such a sweet and delicate sound before the jet engine kicks on; I can still feel the afterburners and am left wanting more of this supremely talented artist; nice explanation of her technique. Beautiful performance and beautiful reaction to it. Thank you for the emotional response while still giving explanation to what happened.
Thank you! 😊 so beautiful!
I love you for your reaction ^ㅡ^ Thank you for loving Sohyang
top singers in the world
I love Sohyang so much!!!🥰🥰🥰
best reaction
Ah thank you! 😊
"You Raise Me Up"
Thank you so much for commenting.
Sohyang-nim is a person who has a better sense of reality. Accurate pronunciation
and singing without being crushed as the pitch of the CD is
It is a diva that is like a treasure of our time, handled freely. Thank you.
I ask for more of her other songs.
Thank you
Filmed in a church for a sunday service special music. So Hyang is AWESOME!
Thanks for your impressive reaction. Your all expressions are so beautiful and pure as SOhyang's song to me. May god prosper you~
Thank you so much!
A warm welcome to Sohyang world :)
Thx for react! More Sohyang pls... Arirang Alone, everyone, Dear Love(mask)... Thx!
Thank you very much for your reaction.
When I always listen to Sohyang's song, I often get overwhelming
emotions like something boils up in my heart...
Please react to Sohyang's other song.
"You raise me up", "Alone Arirang", "Everyone", I will always love you",
"Lean on me", "Monaliza", "Where are you?", "Power of love" etc...
I love listening to Sohyang. She is a devoted Christian and gospel singer. She is a cancer survivor. She doesn't go for wealth and fame but to inspire and comfort people with her singing. I listed down a few songs to keep you going
1) Arirang Alone (Immortal Songs 2 singing competition- native language but the have English subtitle in TH-cam) unofficial national anthem song btw North Korea and South Korea longing for unification.
2) I will always love you (Begin Again Korea- road show busking during coronavirus period to comfort people)
3) if I ain't got you (Begin Again Korea)
4) you raise me up (Immortal Songs 2)
5) I have nothing (DMC FESTIVE)
6) Everyone (Korea gospel song in mix native language and English) MUST WATCH ON VIMEO because Vimeo has English subtitle whilst TH-cam doesn't have English caption. Masterpiece song
7) Lean on me (Immortal Songs 2)
Enjoy 😉.
So good 👍
We all tend to lose our minds when we first hear So Hyang sing, especially Bridge Over Troubled Water. Most of us (dare I say that?) consider this her best performance but she has so many colossally GREAT performances one hardly knows where to start. Since I discovered her one and a half years ago she has become my favourite singer by far. Here's a biography I wrote up about her so you can discover what an extraordinary person she is. By the way, you may not have noticed but So Hyang covers an _entire octave_ in just that first verse!
****************************
We all wonder if So Hyang is human or from another planet. Current odds are that she’s from another planet, with an outside chance she’s actually an angel come down from Heaven. 😇 We have never heard anyone sing like her, or be able to hold an audience in the palm of her hand until she lets them go. Her voice is, as one person described it, like liquid gold. Perfection in clarity and pitch, and she doesn’t fade in the upper octaves, which is startling when you hear her hit those 5th and 6th octave notes with such _POWER_ it actually gives everyone goose bumps-and makes us bald guys’ hair stand on end! As she says, her voice “is from God.” She does all the musical arrangements herself (with the input of her musical assistants), 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, to strengthen those suffering through difficult times. 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 43 on April 5, 2021, though in Korean culture she would be 44 because you are deemed to be one year old when you are born. She was about 37 when she sang this version of “Arirang Alone”, their unofficial national anthem based on a 600 year old folk song expressing their desire to reunify north and south: vimeo.com/308253527
After being sick with pneumonia eight times from 2016 through to 2020, and considering giving up singing altogether, she chastised herself and entered 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 perform eight concerts together at Tokyo’s famous Blue Note Club in late-2018.
Here is the interview where So Hyang related the events: th-cam.com/video/EqeE_1nP-Kk/w-d-xo.html (Be sure to turn on English subtitles.)
Here is the version of “I Have Nothing” Oprah, David Foster and the rest watched on TH-cam: th-cam.com/video/T4UyIMkdy4M/w-d-xo.html
She preceded it with this blockbuster: vimeo.com/312061203
She could be an international Super Star if she wanted to be but has decided that it would ruin her spiritually, quoting Proverbs 14:12 and 16:25 which both say “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 the basement in her home numerous times and closing the door so she could complain vehemently to God that He was holding her back from becoming famous due to her health problems and other unforeseeable events. Then she later saw a Korean TV drama where the talented daughter of a very successful businessman was positive she would take over when her father retired. But he left the management of the company to a woman she hated, so she had a fit and lay kicking and screaming on the floor. So Hyang says she saw herself in that young woman and then understood that God was keeping her from developing self-destructive character by withholding celebrity status from her. th-cam.com/video/rl-jX9kBsEs/w-d-xo.html (Again, turn on English subtitles.)
So as a consequence she does not pursue fame or fortune and actually has no social media presence whatsoever.
What can one say about such a person? She is a literal Wonder Woman! And we need about a billion more just like her!
On Oct. 5, 2020, it was revealed that So Hyang turned down yet _another_ contract offer, this time 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, open and genuine, with a stage charisma, facial expressions and smile that is off the charts.
In Korean dictionaries 소 향 (So Hyang) has several meanings.
• First is a type of Korean traditional music.
• Second is to burn incense on a burner.
• Third is to go toward.
But these meanings are rarely used today and hers is a quite uncommon name. 소 향 is also the name of a heroine in a Korean traditional novel. So in retrospect her name was well chosen, and you can take your pick!
Please analyze her performance of “Bridge Over Troubled Water”: th-cam.com/video/C6iHh4yBxCo/w-d-xo.html
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 where they do Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons’ “Can’t Take My Eyes Off Of You”: vimeo.com/439148918
And this version of her singing “Oh Holy Night”: vimeo.com/322716334
Here she performs “Lean On Me” before Michael Bolton, who called her a vocal “virtuoso” after her performance: th-cam.com/video/GvsgCllcNPE/w-d-xo.html
This is a wonderful Jazz inflected performance of “His Eye Is On The Sparrow”: th-cam.com/video/H1vppvq_F-8/w-d-xo.html
Wait until you see her duet of David Foster's “The Prayer” with Jeong Ui Geu: th-cam.com/video/rte-q3kunp8/w-d-xo.html
And finally “Will You Be There”: th-cam.com/video/nBdSpexUxik/w-d-xo.html
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 I know, bananas isn’t it?
Oh, I just remembered, she is also a published novelist and theological treatist, 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, does the musical vocals for many South Korean television dramas, and is a talented artist and cartoonist.
She can also play the piano and guitar. Is there anything this genius level woman can’t do?
Though she is less than 5' 4" and only 100 pounds, So Hyang simply transcends the thresholds of music and takes you there with her. She becomes the song when she sings it. An experience like no other. I don’t know what else to say. I’ve spent _entire days_ listening to her, and shed more than a few tears of joy along the way.
I really must also compliment the choir, orchestra and audio/video production people So Hyang works with. They are all top notch from what I can see and hear. The Korean people are easily as talented as anyone else.
As you can see, I am a shameless fan. 😉
I can confidently say this. If we picked her top 50 live performances and ranked them, her 50th ranked performance is better than 90% of all singers out there. That is how amazing her performances are and how huge her catalog is compared to other artists. Big name artists would be lucky to have 10 signature songs but So Hyang has over 50 easy, thanks to her recent performances from Begin Again.
@@robertmyers7383 Yup! They are up against the undisputed champ when they go up against So Hyang!
God bless you !!
Glorious ending!
She has one of the best voices ever... But she USES it better than anyone
Sound Of Heaven Yielding ANGel. Thank you for your delicate analysis and heart-warming reaction.
Love the reaction! Yup welcome to the Sohyang world! Where tons say she’s the Queen and Dimash is the King. Sohyang is by far the best to me! Her total package of talent, skills that go well beyond vocals, beautiful background life story, and most of all, what she stands for. She does all her own arrangements. She also has many more songs. Rap, Pop, Jazz, Rock, and of course her wheel house, gospel. Mahalo and Aloha from Hawaii! 🤙
Hi Jennifer. Great reaction to such an amazing performance! We love your reactions! I recommend the next few songs to listen to.
Everyone, Arirang Alone, You raise me up and Lean on me. They are all amazing and you will be shocked!
Looking forward to your next reaction
P.S. It is always great to see a reactor from the UK (We are in London)!
Ah thank you so much 😊 I’ll add them to the list! Ah lovely!!!
@@JenniferGlatzhofer No problem at all. Have you ever listened to Lara Fabian? If not you should! She is incredible and sings with so much emotion, feeling and passion. One of the best singers in the world (in her day). React to Je Suis Malade (subtitles is a must). You will be amazed!
Will send you more recommendations afterwards.
Ooh amazing!! Thank you 😊 the list keeps getting longer and longer but I will get there!
@@JenniferGlatzhofer She can sing in 12 different languages by the way!! 😀
Oh!!! That’s impressive!
I'm touched by your reaction. thank u
Hello Jennifer. I'm Sohyang Pen from Korea. Jennifer, I was so happy to see your reaction and it was a good time. I'll subscribe and come to your channel often, cheering you on you. ^^ Fighting!!
Thank you!
Welcome to Sohyang's world. :) You won't find anyone else quite like her. Hope you react to more.
I suggest 'I Will Always Love You' on Begin Again Korea.
Hello Jennifer, first I want to thank you so much for all your engaging and really educating reactions. In the difficult time of the last two years they were a real comfort and joy to spend time with you and the way you react to music. It's funny but I first heard Morrisett's "Defying gravity" on your channel and was discovering that mind blowing rendition together with you. I know that this reaction to Sohyang's interpretation of the famous Simon and Garfunkel's song you made long time ago, but only now I have seen this very unique and very dear moment after the nineth minute where your more technical look met the message of this amazing song. For me it is so much an assuring message of somebody's/Somebody's care and sacrificing love for us. Sohyang literally seems to put all her strenght to convince us about it, although she herself was quite ill at that time. This is this crucial point where a song crosses the treshold between an artistic expression and the message of comfort and loving assistance in the real life, and from then on we feel it with our whole body and soul that it is the most important and serious matter. And I saw it in the way your face changed. Thank you very much! PS: By the way, I heard that same thing in two Morrisett's songs, first her "Could you be Messiah?" and then "Rise Up" which for me is a kind of reassuring answer to that question. And "Defying gravity" should be prescribed to everybody who feels down and out or depressed.
Hi, Jennifer! your reaction is just Wow!!! Yeah.. SoHyang is freaking amazing!! Hopefully, I can see more your reaction to her soon!😋
Over the last couple of years I've come back to this reaction a few times. Still one of the best reactions to this song Jen.......

Haha. Love your reaction! Pls react on Sohyang’s other songs 😍😍

I can feel that your reactions are sincere
And you're very attractive, I think.
sohyang 'emotions' legendary performance....please.....
Finally a video from So Hyang!! She's more than an outstanding vocalist, she sings with her soul. You should react to Arirang Alone and Everyone, I'm sure you'll love it!
There are so many good singers in this world, you know.....

I love Sohyang! Amazing voice! Yes! And I love Jenifer too! I love your beautiful & genial smile^^
Beautiful reaction Jennifer ! I think it's time to focus and react to one of the most talented and unique young artist around Angelina Jordan ! I'm sure you most of her of her from Norway's Got Talent which she won at 7 years old ! ! At 8 she tore the cover of" I put a spell on you " in You Tube ! Her reduction of" Bohemian Rhapsody " on AGT the Champions edition when she was 13 was the most compelling and unique cover ever ! Her own songs "Million Miles and "7th Heaven " are remarkable at 14 ! If you get a chance react to them ! You will be blown away for sure , guaranteed ! Enjoy your day and keep posting 🙏🤗👍❤️
Thank you for introducing Sohyang, who has a heavenly voice.
I was waiting for you to react to Sohyang. I hope you had a great time.
I really did!!
For those who love Dimash and Sohyang, another must see singer is Zhao Shen from China. Because of his small stature, feminine disposition and voice, he was often bullied in school. Never thinking that he had what it takes to be a singer, he went tot he Ukraine to become a dentist. While there, he was convinced that he did have a great singing ability, thus transferred his major to music. Thank goodness he did.
As an introduction into Zhao "Charlie" Shen, begin with his premiere performance on the Voice of China singing HuanYan. After this first video, move on to his versions of "Memory", and "Time to Say Goodbye".
For something different from him, watch his version of "Let It Go" and "Monsters".
Last, but definitely not least (there is so much more from him), enjoy the videos, "This is Me" and a very unique and fun song (one of my favs) "Da La Beng Ba". His biggest success is the song "Big Fish".
I Will Always Love "So-Hyang" Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood !!!
Welcome to the amazing world of the 'queen of mix', sohyang, who has to be the most famous 'unfamous' vocalist in the world. Its hard to comprehend how someone so good isn't a household name, but that is her choice,she isn't interested in fame & fortune,refusing all offers from all the big record companies that have tried to sign her.
Although she is a gospel singer at heart,this wonderful lady can literally sing any genre,rock,pop,blues/jazz,the big ballads & can even be seen rapping in the song 'day day'. She is known as the 'queen of mix', for obvious reasons,although many refer to her simply as the 'queen' when dimash is regarded as the 'king' of vocals, but she can take her chest voice up really high & her transitions are so smooth that unless you concentrate or know what you're looking for (like a vocal coach such as yourself) its really hard to tell where the change took place. Although she can obviously go a lot higher,her signature note is Bb5, its a real sweet spot for her.
Besides been an excellent vocalist she is also a very accomplished arranger & is responsible for the whole arrangment of all the songs she performs,this was her arrangment of 'bridge over troubled water'. No matter what she is singing,there will always be something in her arrangment that differs from the arrangment dependant on the song & in the circumstances she is performing it. Some songs she changes quite drastically & others very little but only ever to improve the song,she is far too respectful to make a 'worse' version of a song.
If you are to futher explore the world of sohyang then you'd better get used to crying or nearly crying during a performance,even when she's singing in her native language. I dont understand a word of korean but when subtitles aren't available I can still be brought to tears by her performance & tbh, even when subs are provided,I find myself so mesmerised by her that I dont even read them anyway & whatever she is singing,she has this ability to make you feel you are the only one in the audience & she is singing just to you, so dont ever be put off watching her perform in korean. I would also suggest that you read her back story,why she's not famous & why she sings etc.
I am sure you'llbe bombarded with suggestions of what to watch next but I think 'bridge over troubled water' is many people's 1st experience of sohyang and quite often the next song that is recommended is a korean song called 'Arirang Alone' from the tv show 'immortal songs 2' which she rearranged & took it from a very simple folk song about the longing amongst the korean people that one day the north & south will once again live as one, to the more anthemic number you will hopefully experience, but tbh, anything by her will be worth your time,I have never seen a bad performance.
Once again,welcome to the world of SoHyang & thankyou for your honest & informative reaction,I look forward to more in the future now I am subscribed to your channel.
Thank you! Can’t wait to hear more 😍
Thanks for your review...
And one of the best reactions to this performance I’ve ever seen.
Thank you! 😊
The one word for this performance is "exquisite!"
Queen Sohyang ^^
Queen sohyang~~♡♡
Her version of You raise me up is stunning, especially since she had been in the hospital and was told not too sing that night!
Common reaction, even from vocal coach, is speechless and keep watching :D
More So Hyang please!!

your reaction
While Sohyang is outstanding, I think the choir doesn't get the attention it deserves. They're outstanding too.
So great!!! Lovely to hear and watch 😍
Fantastic reaction :-)
Thank you!
I so love this reaction ....you are amazing
Your video is chosen by one of korean TH-camrs who i like to watch his videos as the best reaction youtuber to sohyang' song in April and here to enjoy your vid

I loved when you heeled out over the note you loved. Truly enjoying the moment makes for a fun video for us to watch :)
