I’ll leave a comment so that when someone press like, i could get notification and go back here.
ackk!! loveuuu
replying so that everytime someone replies to your comment i can also go back here
Feel it ❤
239 times i go back here to see this masterpiece
@@averagetomfoolery its been 5 days but i think its time to come back
This is her calling me talentless in a language I don't even understand.
she just called me untalented in 18 different languages 😳
she called me talentless in all languages and dialects on this world
i saw it muted, and she called me talentless in sign language
@@9y2bgy excatly
Lol you are not alone
When she hits that high note, I just start crying for no reason. She's so powerful.
😭🙏👍
same it elicits such a strong feeling inside of me
me fr
makes me emotional. she sounds majestic
아리랑은 한국의 한이 담겨서 그런걸지요😂😂
This really showcases the power of music. This isn’t just a song, it’s an _experience_ .
You couldn't have said it better
Yes listening Sohyang can not be explained with a just few words... It is a spiritual experience.
i feel so patriotic and i'm not even korean
Same here. And I'm crying, too. 😂
HAHAHAHAHAHHA TRUE
lmao EXACTLY THIS
trueeee
I want to move to korea and spend my whole life there
Almost forgot to watch this today
That's a sin honey...
At least you ALMOST didn't watch it
Same
Reply me and let me know you are still a good boyy
Same but still here
How can someone have the sweetest voice on earth and yet monstrously powerful at the same time???? She has so much control on her entire vocals. Simply the finest vocalist I've ever ever heard!!
Can't be agree more!!!
A siren. idk why I thought of this but yes.
!!!
the weird thing is that i listened to this song over 2/3 years ago and rlght know, in the middle of the night at nearly 3 am, my mind went like ARIRANG AARIRANG, so yeah thats why i am here😭
bro same
Lmaooo same
Tbh it’s 3:35 and I’m here lol
wkwkwkwkwkwk
same, i havent listened to this for years but today it keeps playing in my head
When she started singing, it was so touching that I started crying with Korean pride. Then I realized I am middle eastern
Sude Sen so? lmao its a region and I'm from there so whats wrong with what I said
@@es.9997 Still funny sis
nadav متت
😂😂😂
Sude Sen what about it luv
Autotune is crying in her corner
Autotune will run as soon as she saw her
Autotune is depressed now
Are u saying she is using it or using no autotune?
@@ellasienna3796 not using
Musicbaby *autotune has left the chat”
I'm from Poland. I just found out about this song today. This performance made me emotional. It's a beautiful Korean traditional song and it's been amazingly performed.
👏🙆♀️
Actually, she is much better than whoever.
I'll leave a comment in here so I can comeback if someone like it this singer is so good at vocals
I'm still here
I'm still amazed at her voice and the vocals that she can do❤️❤️
This singer always give me goosebumps
Disney movie about Korea’s history with this as the main soundtrack
I agree but only if she is the singer ❤
She sings Vaiana's songs for korean version
She sings as moana in korean version
what about crash landing on you? 😳
Kyu Dyefld I think she’s the only one who can pull this off (with such high notes and support)
I didn’t mean to cry but goddamn as soon as she started singing “it will flow” my eyes were “damn right it will”
Same hahah
Hahahahaahahah
I’m screaming 😂😂😂
Same, my friend was like wtf are u crying for?? I was in class when I first watched this. I CRIED OUT LOUD IN CLASS
On a positive note: now my whole class has heard Arirang
Lol. Best comment
I’m writing a comment here, please like so every time i get a notification i can come back and watch this incredible performance again🤍
Let’s be real…..she’s The best vocalist in Korea right now
tbh not only in Korea
In her 40‘s she is still better than all the new comers in all world, even not newcomers, she can easily top “the best vocalist in the USA or in general in the world”. The only one, who seriously is better than her, I would say Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin and Dimash.
@@ferde1949definitely not dimash.. he has a large range but lacks ALOT of support
@@ferde1949I would say she is about equal with Whitney and Aretha. Her vocal technique and control are both flawless.
Sss tier vocalist. No doubt
2:00 She opened a portal to another dimension.
I swear that's what I've been tryna say, this part is the shit
This part gave me chills
I think im gonna enter that portal.
@@crystalflies1054 when elsa freezes , lolol
your comment is so perfect.
I'm not even Korean but this song makes me feel so patriotic.
Same ksksksks
Same ;(
you remind me of those language exercises where we have to switch sentences from the Active to the Passive voice 😅
This song made me into korean
Sameee
Happy birthday Queen (5 April 1978). 46 years old today 5 April 2024 and still going strong.
The beginning starts off slow and soft and her voice is smaller and weaker but as the song grows she gets stronger and more and more powerful and more confident and that’s the whole meaning to the Korean masterpiece lyrics of this song.
How powerful and beautiful.
holy shit this sounds like it sounds in a majestic disney movie
omg you're so right my eyes are tearing
disney should get her for the next movie they make... I bet it will beat frozen.
***** I cry everytime I listen to this song. I hope they do something like this.
h
This would make some bomb ass background music for a studio Ghibli
petition for her to voice the next disney princess and sing the whole movie
she voiced moana in the korean version :)
omgg a korean princess plsssss
cuddlymoontaeil i was thinking this exact thing before seeing your comment :( i’d love for a korean princess and her voice her
ᅳ tarobear; moana isn’t a princess
No no she must be a queen
I am not Korean, but knowing the lyrics while listening to this makes me dream of Korea becoming one again 😭❣️
It won't likely happen though..
It doesn't matter where you from really. Music makes us same human always. Love from Korea
@@JK-np6sj Yes that's true it doesn't matter where you are from. Music is universal anyone can listen it.
아멘
Literally crying wishing for a unified peninsula
Her voice is so clear and so very beautiful. Whether its extremely high-pitched or extremely low-pitched, her voice is so stable without any failing and the lyrics are delivered accurately. Amazing just amazing! ❤
Exactly..😊
some don't understand how hard it is to reach those notes. it's close to impossible. the control, technique, pitch, everything is perfect.
yeah, sohyang makes it look so easy. even if you can muster enough support to hit it, holding it and then going into a run is another difficult step ;-;
So true!
I know she’s above a high C- I’ve heard a B5 and that sounds about right. I can’t even WHISTLE that high
I'm non korean , I don't understand korean but the talent omg it wasss sooooooo goood
@@Oliviakhouk
You can't whistle anything in the 55th octave. I think you can only whistle above D6
They should let her sang the song at the olympics to be honest. It will blown away international tourist, and make them open eye that Korea doesn’t only have queen of ice Yuna but also the queen of vocal Sohyang!
Shine Yeah!
THIS.
Tokyo Olympics? She’s Korean. And she’s singing a very Korean song here. No way the Japanese are gonna let her sing at the olympics
@@nanaalmani4300 The 2018 Winter Olympics. Not 2020 Summer Olympics.
It's funny cause this exact Arirang version by Sohyang was used for a skating duo at the 2018 Olympics lol
simply the best vocalist ever.
Regine from philippines waving
I agree she is one of the best vocalist
@@jigil5769 Regine is beyond great and the proud of Philippines but not even close to Sohyang. You simply don't understand what kind of vocalist Sohyang is.
Try to listen to DIMASH. You will be surprised.
@@MaratSatuov Hitting high notes doesn't immediately make you Sohyang. The clarity, the controls, the seamless transitions, the perfect mastery in her own vocal range makes her THE vocalist. Simply unmatched.
About every 6 months I’ll randomly remember this video and search it up to be able to experience the masterpiece all over again
Me:*feels korean pride*
Me: but im jamaican
Me:*feels korean pride nonetheless*
@Harry Fishnuts we eat pork yes but we don't have a jamaican pulled pork sandwich 😃😃

Fun fact: Yura Min & Alexander Gamelin performed an ice skating routine to this song during the 2018 Winter Olympics👑
There are people who has never seen this, but none that have only seen this once. It's been 8 years since this was posted and we're still here lol
She took a simple traditional folk song and turned it into a dramatic track from a movie.
It's worthy of Wagner... simply epic!!!
Lily Broyles agreed
totally agree, she is amazing
actually is not a simple song, its very meaning full to korean people.
edyamari martinez simple in terms of musicality
Ah well, then yes.
This hit me with so much korean pride and I’m african sis got me crying over here.
Same...from Kenya
Same from Serbia
Lmao same
Me from The Gambia.
Her voice is soooo goooood
I just commented something similar. How did she do that? And how are any of the eyes in that audience dry?
petition for so hyang to sing at my funeral. her voice makes me feel like I ascended into heaven👼🏻
I will definitely ascend to heaven 🤧
Every person has a right to listen Sohyang before they die... It's the most brutal and inhumane thing on earth if any people die not knowing Sohyang at all
how hard the song is level:
1. easy
2. medium
3. hard
4. sohyang
Actually beyond
This is amazing. My best arirang.

Why does it sound like she's summoning a portal to heaven.
Edit: I honestly don't expect these much likes. Thanks, I guess.
She did. Twice.
Checkout her version of the korean song HOME.....
it was as if she forced an entire space time dimension to come to life.
I wanted to say this but who is so hyang
Jasmine brihanna dalida a singer lol she is the one who sang the song in this video.
Imagine being in that audience witnessing one of the world's greatest FEMALE ARTISTS giving us one of the WORLDS GREATEST PERFORMANCES, she's just unbelievably MAGNIFICENT 🇬🇧🔥👌❤️.

Why did you add the UK flag? lol

The whole crowd was silenced, mesmerized by her singing
격하게 공감합니다
In Korea, they find it disrespectful to scream and clap during a performance. People prefer to listen and cheer at the end.
BREAKING NEWS: Korean singer Sohyang is the prime suspect in the theft of countless wigs.
It's true! My wig was snatched too!!
Bruh my whole collection is gone.
No wonder! I was so captivated by her voice that I didn’t even realize she stole my wig 😔
That’s where they went...
Oohhh gurl my wig
I tried to sing this, police came. Accusing me of abusing animals.
Jin Yang Peng 😂😂😭
😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂
SO HILARIOUS
Why are you laughing? I was arrested.
Debatably the best female vocalist alive today
She is among the best singers in the world for now
she doesn’t release albums and songs, she def could get more recognition if she did singing like her peers.
@@ongakira She is happy with her work though. And she isn't interested in becoming popular.
She is G.O.A.T 😊
03:57 this gentleman's approval is an ultimate proove of quality.
let me ask: how can this even have DISLIKES?!
I bet they cried and couldn't See The screen. That Happened to me...
ehh. but did you dislike it? Hanna Batz
some salty ass people
Pleople that are jealous.
misclicks
So Hyang is amazing and all but you guys gotta give props to those background vocals and orchestra. They are just perfection.
Perfection for a perfection, I think it perfect😉
True

Artus Péron the violinist is just crazy
And guess who did the arrangements and trained the background singers. Yep, our So Hyang!
1:10 Dokdo is Korean Territory; lonely island far way in the East Sea
국가행사에 필요한 공연 수준임 ㅠㅠ
She is a real life disney princess.
Shes too good its unbelievable
Exactly what I thought! 😄
omg i thought i was the only one who thought of that lol
She should sing for Disney too. lol
xlongyujax She did, she is the korean singing voice of the new disney movie, Moana. :)
One may not understand the language used, but the song touches everyone who hears it. That's the power of music it breakes every barrier, be it race , religion, political or social standing, and brings all together.
Omg I love this comment.
Steven Gathu omg i almost cried
you may not know that this song based on political issues between korea and japan :)))))))))))))))))))
Smokey 212 I thought airiang was just an old folk song and nobody knows what it's about but it brings people together that's why it's called Koreas (north and south) unofficial national anthem where did u hear that
your right smokey is wrong
When she hits that high note it’s as if her heart is screaming out all the passion that’s inside of her, but through the voice of an angel!
I don't why but every time I'm listening to this song it makes me sobbing and I'm not even Korean!
So Hyang: goose bumps? Nah fam, Imma give goose mountains.

You might be a good singer but are you Sohyang level.
No. No one is
dimash can besten her, but still theyre diff. genders so they are our king and queen :p
@@SCRKT007 dimash doesn't has the same support level that sohyang has
She is amazing senior...Im so impressed by her voice😍
That’s when you know you’ve really made it
2023 and still listening to this. Cant get enough and still teary 🥺🥺
I think about this performance at the most random times! It's been like this on and off for the last like 5-6 years
2:54 LOOK AT VIOLINIST
So cutee
She looks like an anime Character.
Lol she’s feeling it
In which she is all of us
Princess Jimin’s peasant oh my fucking god! I was actually about to comment that 😂
When South and North Korea finally unified.. THIS QUEEN BETTER BE SINGING ARIRANG DURING THE CEREMONY 😭😭😭😭 I will cry!!!
And I think, it would be great if Arirang is chosen as the national anthem.
Well, that's just my opinion, though.
Diki Ginyathul Yeah! And she should definitely sing it
Such a brilliant idea!
Even I'm not korean I felt it ✋😭
@@dikikhoer8482 I bet there are international rules regarding creativity on things like flags and national anthems.

I'm not even korean but i cried
I’m literally in love with her voice
She is one of the best vocalists alive PERIOD
in the whole planet for me, even better than Barbra Streisand who people hail as the best.
Aabidh Jaufer TRUE LMAO, I really want a collab with dimash and sohyang
One of? She is THE BEST

Underrated comment.
700 like 😊
E G it was less before
Listening at least 3 times daily since I first heard it ^^
I love her
One of the best vocalist in the universe !!! My god !!!
What makes this performance so great is that Sohyang didn't _outshine_ the message of the song. She didn't make it about her - she told the story and delivered it in a way that made you appreciate not just her voice, but the whole composition, and the music. Even though damn she *SANG* , her artistry painted the picture of Arirang; not her face.
JinO Chil can u tell me more about her? I mean what is she and where can I find more abt her? Like social media or smth pls tell me
Meowmeow Yoongi So Hyang is a 40 year old South Korean vocalist with roots in gospel, but she can and has sung many genres. She is known for her phenomenal vocal technique and control that has allowed her to develop easily the best upper register that has ever existed. She’s one of the best vocalists of all time and she’s probably the best in the world right now. To make things even more impressive, she’s also a cancer survivor and constantly struggles with other health issues including pneumonia, liver disease, and a heart condition. Nonetheless, her voice continues to improve despite her already being in her 40s. She doesn’t have any social media and has purposely avoided global stardom, but you can stay up to date on her by joining one of many fan groups on Facebook.
@@skylerpowers8871 40? Girl looks like she's in early 20s dang
Rinso Detergent She’s 41 now actually
@@skylerpowers8871 oh gosh i thought she was 20
OMG! I have to say 2 things:
1. She has a perfect pitch even without using in-ear monitor!! Sohyang is in another level.
2. The arrangement for this song is amazing!!!
It is definitely one of my favorites.
Wth? I never noticed she isn’t using an earpiece! Are you sure? If she isn’t, then she basically pitched a perfect game without a glove.
@@AB-nk5wv
She barely uses it, her pitch is so perfect!
And she's the one who arranged her performance.
@@ardjohnochab6872 Really? I didn't know it. It's an amazing arrangement. Now i admire her even more!!!
Either that, or she's practiced the song so much she just knows the pitch
Happy birthday Queen ♥♥ (5 April 1978)
This performance fills my chest with so much Korean pride and I am not even Korean
But can we appreciate the woman who's playing the violin...Amazing😯😮
Shes Fucking Awesome I Wish I Could Play Like Her
Actually there was autotune used on the violin because she wasn't on pitch and made mistakes... You can check the live performance from a fancam
Her name is Son Sukyeong, her stage name is Sue Son. She was actually on Britain's Got Talent and I think she was a semi-finalist.
@@erutsukafirestar woah really?!??!
She can not compete with Sohyangs voice but she is doing a great effort. It should be mentioned that Sue Son came into Britain's Got Talent by accident. She was only supposed to support soneone else, but her performance was so good, that the judges asked her to participate on her own.
I will type in English because so many English writers. This is Google Translate so please be patience. This song is very close to me. My grandparents would pass it down to my mother, then to me. Every time we are stressed, worried or afraid, we think and sing this song. This performance makes me cry every time and lets all Koreans unite together in times of societal or political issues become harsh. This is Korean Anthem.
I think that this song is one of this song that make you feel patriotic even if you are not from the country. "我和我的柤国", "Bella Ciao" are on this locked 🔒 category of song.
♥️
kiso키소 good job writing. I understand everything.
Omg I found you! Kiso. All my life I've been waiting and now I see you. Crazy yes. You will understand
reece jasmin ?
8 years and I still cry when I watch this performance. I'm being serious when I say this is the most perfectly performed song ever. Queen of singing.
Even after all this years she is able to give me goosebumbs with the way she performed this song.What a voice..incredible.
Alright, see you guys again tomorrow.
Ok bye
Yeap
Aight
see u
Ok
I have watched this an unhealthy amount of times
I might go death from how loud ive got my volume
U thought I was the only one😂
music aint unhealthy. uless there is profanity. this is calming.
I was gonna like this comment but then I saw you're at 420 so I'll leave it
She is a true gift, blessing my ears. I have got the best medicine against your dilemma: MORE SOHYANG SONGS
2:00 the build up and then 2:10 like?? i almost started crying. not even out of sadness, but bc it sounded so??? otherworldly
Tears came out from my eyes just now the fact that she's not even straining her voice, this all seems hella normal for her. This really shows how talented as hell she is.
I'm a Korean. 'Arirang' means 'contact' or 'to meet'.
'Arariyo' means 'I miss you' or 'lovesickness'.
Korea is the only divided country in the world.
Many families were torn apart by the war.
Dokdo is the easternmost island in Korea.
It was the first land invaded when it became a Japanese colony.
For Koreans, Dokdo is a symbol of sovereignty.
'Baekdusan' is the highest mountain in North Korea
and 'Hallasan' is the highest mountain in South Korea,
It is also the farthest north and south.
황수철 oh my god... this makes the song hurt even more... 😭 thank you for explaining!
Ireland is also divided. (Northern Ireland/Republic of Ireland)
Arirang means Aryan.
황수철 wow thank you for this
seo marie do you know how language works? The same sounding word can mean something in one language and something different in another.
I've seen this an unhealthy amount of times omg
nadav Honestly
Same lol i always come back for the goosebumps
you kidding? i even downloaded this video to watch it before i sleep
You and me both
same
I am starting to WORRY FOR MYSELF.
I CAN’T stop listening to Sohyang. Her voice is TOO ADDICTIVE. 😊
GOD BLESS YOU, Sohyang, and praying for her health.
Same I am too addicted to this song I have posted too many comments here all her songs are addicting especially this one
Please Cast her, Disney!
I actually feel bad for those who haven't heard a performance from SoHyang
I just did.. like today... I can't believe that I've NEVER heard of her before! I'm so mad at myself!!!
Same here...😭😭💔
No Kidding. she is top 3 in the world easily. tough to rank the best so I say top 3 :)
Lol glad i did.. her voice is impossible ! Its a right desicion for me to click her video 😂
Aeri Leepea same...the first time I saw “O Holy Night,” I cried my eyes out & have been obsessed ever since.
Incredible! @2:10-2:22
•Lung- Power
•Control
•Unbelievable-Vocal-Range
•Tone Quality
So Hyang is Untouchable
My only question is does ariana have a chance? (In my opinion I think she does
@@doubletrouble9149 They sing in very different languages, but this woman is better than ari in almost every aspect when it comes to singing. She belted that b5 so effortlessly and beautifully.
Double Trouble I mean ariana is our the pop queen of this generation literally she is one of the best singers today compared to other famous names who can only sing with autotune, but I'm sure Sohyang is better (vocals). Maybe in the future with more experience Ari can get to this level
downhere 54 sure okay but I just have to say ariana did hit a E7 :)
downhere 54 and she is a world wide record holder :)
My tears just won't stop flowing when I listen to So Hyang, and this must be my 500th time over 5 years of watching this video over and over and it has always touched my heart all the same, as if it were my first time. I feel so blessed to be born in her generation. May God Bless So Hyang more and more
Me too
I agree, I can across this many years ago but keep stumple across this video again. Her voice is so strong it makes me emotional every time, as it was my first time listening to it.
I keep coming back just to listen to this most powerful performance in the history ever!
Disney needs a Korean Princess NOW & she needs to voice her!
Fun facts: Sohyang actually learned english from Disney songs, she sang a lot of Disney songs in various concerts, and she voiced Moana in Korean version.
@@Teferi600 she sang the moana song as well
No! We don't need Disney to tell our own culture, we've been successful at doing that ourselves. Let the Koreans represent, we don't need no white people telling our stories for and to us.
Axis Boise I agree with part of your statement and disagree with the other. I agree that the Korean culture should not be misrepresented in a Disney film, which is pretty probable if it were to happen. However, I think it’d be a great thing if it was represented correctly. Then, not only would Koreans, Korean-Americans, and Koreans all over the world feel represented in one of the biggest and most successful transnational corporations in the world, but also people of other cultures could understand the Korean culture better. If it’s done correctly, I think it would be really awesome! That’s my opinion anyway.
Kindred Kate Like I said, Koreans are doing it already: kpop, kdrama, variety shows, and recently film, are gateways for people learning the culture. Despite kpop and kdrama painting an over-romanticized version of the culture, at least it's done by korean companies; not some culture-stealing transnational corporation. They don't need money-hungry Disney to "represent" the culture. And if Disney wants to make a movie/disney princess representing Koreans, then have both American-Koreans and Koreans create and supervise and evaluate everything. These people who "researched" my Polynesian heritage and still ended up with a whitewashed versions of Moana and Maui. I don't trust them.
Fun fact : the audience was visually edited because by the end of the performance they all went bald
Thissss 😂😂😂💯✨✨
🤣🤣🤣
Lamo🤣
lmaoo
Me: shooketh
Y’all: shooketh
Wigs: snatched
Hotel: trivago
her vocal chords are a worldwide treasure
This is the most beautiful song I’ve ever heard. The fact she did not make it all about herself and wanted the crowd to join in because she knows the true meaning of the song and how powerful and meaningful it is- is just an all around incredible genius masterpiece on her part.
Very well done
Arirang is one of the most oldest korean tranditional songs in Korea. Arirang is not just any tradition song it's a very typical one to korean people.
Dokdo is symbolized as a guardian of korean territory (it is a small island by Korea) In this song "hill" means hardship or advisory. Arirang is not a place of a name of an actual hill. Some scholars have said that arirang is just a beloved phonetic by Koreans. The term is possibly referring to Korea itself or a feeling of sadness. Korea suffered a lot of hardship because of Japan's Imperialism in the 18th century. In that time, Koreans sang this arirang from the sadness from losing their country and. "Let's cross this arirang hill" means let's over come our hardship together.
There are many versions of it, too. This version she is singing Arirang Alone (홀로알리랑) has undertones of reunification between north and south korea - "our hearts will flow as one" and "baekdusan to hallasan". Baekdu is a mountain in North Korea/China border and Halla mountain is the mountain on the southern tip of the Korean peninsula.
Thank you for your explanation, the song has such a beautiful meaning~
what a beautiful rendition of a beautiful song.
So the song featured here pretty much represents the spirit of Korea Unification, thankyou for the explanation :)
Thank you for the explanation ARMY!!! I PURPLE YOU!!💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
💜💜💜
I've never in my life heard a singer that gave me goosebumps!
Monisola Elliott until now?
This gave me goosebumps too >.
Charlatan why so triggered- I just complimented their harmonization. Not compared both of them.
you should listen to Chouwa oto by Kokia then :)
Monisola Elliott first that gave me goosebumps was Yeunjung from WJSN and then Sohyang!
Iam from southern India, Tamilnadu. We too have the song which starts with Arariraro, its a song of mother sung for their kids to fall asleep. I see many cultural similarities with our culture and Koreans. I found it only recently. Very surprised😊
Glad to see another Indian listening to this song. Most of them listen to kpop, and then there is this masterpiece.
So true. When I visited the Tamil area for medical aid, I found so many similarities in simple words, appa, one, etc, and grammar features, too.
We have a legend Heo pricess in Shilla had been from india.
i am sure south india and korea have some connection.
-from Korea
I think Korean dictionary should add *sohyang* in it. *Sohyang* is an adjective representing an angel's voice
What an idea!! ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
I second this notion
Did anyone ever notice the violinist jamming at the 2:54 mark. CUTEST THING EVAAARRRRR
oggbukbuk I've seen this so many times but i haven't noticed her doing that until now. Wth that was cute! 😂
Never noticed it before. That's awesome.
Super cute, tho i worry is another of korean music industry eye catchy asset only. She doesnt even use classic violin, which is unseen between professional violinists. Dont take me wrong, i like her, but its just there for that one purpose.
Public requires girls show off some legs, So Hyang doesnt really show anything ever, so lets pump up her voting chance a bit higher. So sad.
Hahaha..that was cute
she was killing it on that violin, sure she might be hot but that's not her only purpose come on, her performance was incredible. also an electric violin totally suits this performance, like they turned it into a bit of a rock ballad thing and it just fits so well. i see what you're saying, but i don't think it's fair to reduce her to just her looks when she's clearly so incredible
Somebody crown her THE Korean princess oR I WILL
She's the Queen, not the princess anymore. ; )
She is presidenntt
iwabi isabi Lol already passed that title a long time ago and transcended to GODDESS
I got goosebumps
매우 많이 공감합니다
She is not Korean's but the World's precious!
