You have just discovered probably the best quartet on the planet: great voices and wonderful harmonies. The name Forestella is a combination of "forest" and the Latin/Italian word for star "stella". Their group name means "a forest of stars". If you watch some of their own videos you'll often find a thank you message to "Soop Byeol" (two Korean words; literal translation: forest star). That's what they call their fans.
This is Forestella, a crossover group from Korea. They are the winner group in the Phantom Singer 2; a survival audition show to form a crossover quartet like il Divo from Korea. However as they have their own unique style, they won't be Korean il Divo, they will be the Forestella of the world! Forestella has sung great covers like Bohemian Rhapsody, We are the Champions, Heal the World, the Sound of Silence, My Favorite Things, Champions (mash-up of Champs league theme and Champions by Jo SuMi), Nella Fantasia, Scarborough Fair..etc etc. At the Phantom Singer All Stars they sang Time in a bottle, Je suis Malade as well. Shape of You in English, Spanish and African Zulu is fantastic indeed. You can even see them dancing singing Smooth Criminal as well! And they broke the record of their own with Lazenca Save Us winning 4 trophies for King of Kings in a row in Immortal Songs 2! Forestella is a quartet of Ko WooRim (classical bass, intense abyss-deep low tone), Kang HyungHo (ex-research chemist & rock vocalist with soprano falsetto voice), Cho MinGyu (classical leggiero tenor, light boyish crystal clear tone) and Bae DooHoon (musical actor, one of the semi-finalists from Voice Korea 2, rough-textured husky tone with R&B, Pop groove). Each has distinct tone and style of singing, different charm. But all of them are famous as practice-freaks. Ko WooRim said they met more than 300 days an year together in Phantom Singer All Stars behind interview but in a radio program the leader (Cho MinGyu) revealed it would be around 20 days they didn't meet in the year. So I think this explains how their perfection executed. Don't miss their new m/v for Save our lives! It's full of wonders.
I don’t know why but Scarborough Fair covers are some of my favorite. This was definitely one of the best I’ve heard. Has just become a personal favorite.
Aren't they amazing? None of their performances will disappoint you. I hope we'll see a reaction to their music video Save our Lives. Not only is it a beautiful song, but the visuals look great too. Btw their soprano Kang Hyung-ho sang the male and female part of The Phantom of the Opera as solo artist. A must watch performance: 경.이.롭.다 강형호! 입이 다물어지지 않은 [The Phantom of the Opera] MBN 201219 방송
I knew you would like them, Dave. Forestella is indeed another rabbit hole to go down and I promise you won't regret it. Although these guys have four different voices, their harmony when they sing together is outstanding. I suspected that the bass singer would be your favorite. ;-) Their names from left to right in this video: Ko Woorim (classically trained bass), Kang Hyungho (countertenor and rock voice, no vocal training), Cho Mingyu (tenor and the band leader), Bae Doohoon (tenor, muscial actor). So they cover all ranges. Some recommendations for you: their cover of Bohemian Rhapsody is amazing. "Hijo de la luna" and "Nella Fantasia" are pure eargasms. If you prefer a song with rock elements then their winning performance "Lazenca, Save Us" is for you. They just released their first music video with their song "Save our lives". It's visually and vocally a masterpiece and was published on their own channel (I mentioned the link to the official Forestella YT channel in my comment on Patreon). There are some religious and mytological motifs in it. For a traditional emotional Korean song check out "If I leave" (video title 포레스텔라 - 나 가거든[불후의 명곡 전설을 노래하다). The background of this song is a tragic event in Korea's history. When Japan invaded Korea, Japanese brutally murdered the last Chosun dynasty queen. The song was written by a Korean who estimated the feelings of the queen at that time. You should look for the English lyrics of this song if you want to listen to it. And now enjoy your Forestella journey. 🙂
gaston from beauty and the beast...that's woorim ko and he's the lowest main category of bass, a basso profundo. he and the leggiero tenor with the boyish clear voice are both classically trained. i'm glad you found sohyang too! if you know sohyang and forestella then you've got the best of the best of korea's singers!
All members of Forestella are excellent singers and their rendition of Scarborough Fair was beautiful. They added their own touch to it. Like Dimash they like to mix pop/rock with elements of classical music and want to address a broad audience. All their "Immortal Songs 2" performances are amazing.
Thank you for your reaction to Forestella! Congrats for your luckiest encounter to them. Let's start with Queen covers. They began to be known to the world with Bohemian Rhapsody from Immortal Songs 2, special episode for Queen. Search Forestella Queen's best songs in 전주JeonJoo KBS channel. I promise it worths your time and effort. See you soon at the next reaction to Forestella!
It's so nice to meet you for the first time through this video. Thank you so much for your great reactions~!! 👍👍 Forestella is a very popular cross-over group in Korea~!! From the left side of the video, we are Go Woo-rim (base), Kang Hyung-ho (soprano, counter tenor, rock voice), Cho Mingyu (tenor, team leader), Bae Doo-hoon (tenor, musical actor)! Their amazing harmony and great voices always surprise the fans!💗💗 They have a lot of great performances, but I recommend you to listen to Bohemian Rhapsody, Time in Bottle, We Are the Champions, Shape of You, Je Suis Malade, Save Our Lives~!! 😍🤩
You wanna talk about a rabbit hole man this one is a bottomless pit and everything in it is magical Also if you plan to watch more forestella I definitely reccomend their cover of shape of you, and they also had a music video recently👌😎
Thanks for your reaction to one of my favorite vocal groups. 😍 You mentioned the fantasy intro. Actually the theme of this episode was time travel. That's why they chose a song whose roots go back a few centuries. In some of their performances, the role of each member is roughly equal; in others, one of them has a more dominant role. Here Ko Woorim took the lead. Some of them have contracts as solo artists in addition to their new contract as Forestella with Beat Interactive. There are several solo performances by Ko Woorim that you might want to watch since he was your favorite. I like the song called Counting Stars. The link doesn't show up so let me give you the complete title of the video: 고우림+뉴위즈덤하모니 - 별 헤는 밤 [열린 음악회/Open Concert] 20200301 If you like opera then you might enjoy his rendition of Mozart's Non piu andrai: (포레스텔라)고우림 Ko Woo Rim - Non piu andrai(더이상 날지 못하리) He also sang Stars from Les Miserables: 고우림 - Stars [열린 음악회/Open Concert] 20200301 His rendition of One Million Roses (soundtrack of a Korean drama): Ko Woo Rim 고우림- A Million Roses (백만송이 장미) [My Mister OST Part.5] Lyrics Han/Rom/Eng I'm looking forward to your next Forestella reaction.
@@whatitdodave I'd honestly really enjoy you getting into your element without restrictions with noise. I'm hoping your man cave comes sooner then later.
Their harmonies are some of the best. So much talent in one group is rare. Imagine if they collaborated with Sohyang and gave a concert with her. That would be heaven on earth. 🙂 Please react to Save our Lives. There are different videos of this song on YT. Usually I prefer live performances but in this case I suggest the music video with its beautiful imagery. Some more recommendations: Time in a bottle (each of them has a nice solo part and time to shine and the song has a nice twist), Lazenca - Save us (song from a space rock opera), Parla Piu Piano (theme from "The Godfather" movie), Hijo de la luna, "Forestella Queen's Best songs | We Are The Champions + Bohemian Rhaphody + We Will Rock You | KBS", If I leave (traditional Korean song).
Haha we all fell down the Forestella rabbit hole. And 100% Ko Woo Rim's deep bass is my favorite too - it's so rich. But all these guys are phenomenal - definitely worth checking out more
Health yeah, glad you are into acapella and quartets! Your liquid tastes are as vast as my own. Phenomenal! You may want to check out "The Newfangled Four" since it is a quartet with humor. Damn I wish I had money to be a Patron just so I could properly suggest things to you. -Your Friendly Neighborhood Druid

I agree. Sohyang and Forestella are at the top of the food chain. 👍

I love your reaction videos. I'm finding so many new artists to listen to.
That's Ko Woo Rim singing the bass. He'd the rarest of opera male voices, a true basso profundo. You have a good ear! ❤👍
I never knew you were into this. Tons more experiences to come broski. This is just the beginning
I’m into good music haha.
