Actor and Filmmaker FIRST TIME REACTION REACTION AND ANALYSIS - "WILDFLOWER" Park Hyo Shin

[@jimena.daniela]

Hi Cedric, I am SO HAPPY you took my suggestion and checked PHS out! I first hear of him in 2014, when I arrived to live in South Korea. He was the first singer I got to appreciate there, and this, the first song. I remember watching this video for the first time, mesmerized by his voice and the storytelling behind, back then I could not speak Korean yet, but somehow I was able to feel his story in my heart. I grew to love each one of this songs, and then went to his 2019 concerts 2 times in Seoul, and to see him in the musical The Man who Laughs, I´m sure you would love that. You made my day ! I am happy you liked him and that you now have a new singer to discover. His 2019 performance of "Goodbye", live from his concert is beautiful if you wanna check it out. Thank you for this wonderful gift! Take good care of yourself!

[@stephanieroberts1157]

This is the best reaction I have seen for the most beautiful voice in the world today.. PHS, also a most humble and beautiful person. When I watch him sing I am totally in another world, oblivious to anything around me.. his voice is utterly captivating, spellbinding.. what an incredible talent. Thank you for your reaction.. I could sense the admiration and appreciation... we're the blessed ones to realise how unique PHS is :-)

[@lbrounen]

This is BTS Jin's favourite karaoke song. The personal story behind this song is very sad. Hyoshin was treated very badly by his previous company. He lost control of his vocal cords due to exhaustion, had to sell his house because he could no longer perform, when in the army he lost his best friend to suicide.. 5 years later he regained new confidence under a new company, changed his way of singing and is now an accomplished singer and musical star. There is also a live performance in a studio show where he is so emotional in the end. It is the version where he has white hair and a black and white suit. That one is my favourite, because it shows how hard it is for him to sing this song, that was s mega hit in South Korea when it was released.

[@juneseghni]

you huiyeol's sketchbook is the name of the show

[@Yo_girlie]

Yes must watch!!! Love love

[@fernandoalfian1814]

not only treated badly, he develops an illness due to his previous company forced him to sing in a particular way(watch his older songs for reference), and that made him almost lost his voice(and passing out often due to overwork while in his concerts). he also had to do concerts himself, because the company scammed him by embezelling the money from the fans and audiences, causes the venue to almost cancel his concert , and had to pay for all of that from his own pocket(which he almost had none due to the company unfair and ridiculous pay) that led to further depression, and when he sued his company, he lost his cause and the company sued him back,causing him to fill for bankcruptcy back then, because of the huge money the company sued him for. after that, he left for the army, that is when he met the pianist(and became best friends). he actually did not want to produce this song because this was supposed to be his some kind of poem or note of some sort for himself about his hardships, but the pianist helped him through and encouraging him to create a song based on that. and about why he is so sad while performing this song is, because the song is about all his suffering through his life,from being totally used, and overcoming it. from that, he then develops fear of camera(idk if he had overcome it or not,until now). and that is why he nearly did not appear in any of tv shows.

[@perdita6542]

I was so surprised to see this notification but, now that I think about it, I realize that it was just a matter of time! This is just a beautiful song of strength and resilience (I had the last line, "When spring comes, I will bloom", tattooed a few years ago), he often cries when he sings it live. This was a pleasure to watch and I hope one day to see your reaction to his live version of Gift.:-) Oh, this can't go unmentioned: the pianist in the video is Jung Jae Il. He's known in Korea as a musical genius; they've been collaborating ever since they did they military service together and in recent years JJI always plays half the instruments at PHS's concerts!

[@sandragiant777]

Park Hyo Shin is a treasure. I want his talents to be heard, recognized and appreciated throughout the world. I hope he masters English well enough to be able to perform on Broadway and to record songs in English so that the rest of the world can fully love and appreciate him. Thank you for doing this reaction.

[@ronaldwilliams4426]

The story behind this song is powerful. It make you understand his pain. Awesome artist.

[@lilisaboya910]

He is a great singer and also a great performer. His vocal skills are impressive and I must say rare. For him to reach that kind of level I´m sure is a mix of talent and lots of training. And what about his tone and vocal range? What a pleasure to hear such a voice! What else can I say? I am speechless!!! Bravoooo!!!!

[@aasally]

If I'm not wrong, they get those MV in one-take-shot using some drone camera. So the voice that we hear is not studio record

[@guxinlenhai]

Yes, this is a true live audio one-take on-scene recording/filming (different from his studio album recording).

[@UsagiKasanagi]

I have to admit my excitement when I saw the notification for this reaction pop up as “upcoming” last night. I just found you fairly recently and watched and absolutely loved all of your BTS reactions, especially the BU reactions! A Korean friend introduced me to Park Hyo Shin a while back and this is the first song he introduced me to. I absolutely fell in love with his vocals from the moment I heard him, and am so glad to see you being introduced to such an amazing ballad singer. Thank you to to person who requested this! I hope to see more from you on both this beautiful man and BTS 💜💜💜

[@czer7060]

Your happy smile makes me happy! Thank you

[@EvieDelacourt]

This song is lovely! I'm sorry I'll need to miss the premiere since I have a workplace meeting at that time, but I went ahead and listened to the original video to see what you will be reacting to, and will catch your reaction later. 🤗

[@SilverSeaOT7]

There is a 2019 version not in front of a live audience under the channel JTBC? Best I could gather from comments is that he wanted to sing with just the pianist only. He had said it was hard not to get emotional when there was a crowd. Whether that is true or not, it is just beautiful.

[@QueensThief76455]

Yep. Here it is. kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJTRcoGAmsd1mK8 He also sings other of his songs during this project.

[@stoneleighdolls798]

The JTBC version he does with just Jung Jae Il on piano is my all time favourite performance of this song.

[@SilverSeaOT7]

@@QueensThief76455 - Thank you!

[@시간은그래도간다]

There is a lot of misunderstanding that there will be only K-pop idols in Korea, but idols are a part of music and there are many artists, but it is a pity that they are not known. Park Hyo-shin is a singer who has been active in Korea for a long time Park Hyo-shin was born in Korea in 1981 and has been a singer since 1999 There is a lot of misunderstanding that there will be only K-pop idols in Korea, but idols are a part of music and there are many artists, but it is a pity that they are not known. Park Hyo-shin is a singer who has been active in Korea for a long time

[@jungwoogieboogie]

Other Notes - The piano man behind him is a famous composer - the music director of the movie 'Parasite' - composed 'The Belt of Faith'

[@ejentabi]

Finally. PHS. I am so happy that you finally get to know him.

[@hellogoodbyeandallinbetween]

I really enjoy the way you've added your comments in afterwards, not sure I've seen a film maker's analysis of the video before!

[@sarahlee8871]

Wow amazing, was waiting that you discover one of Korea's best singers😀so looking forward to it

[@QueensThief76455]

Well, somehow my original comment was deleted, so here I go again. Cedric, I had chills right before Park Hyo Shin's first note waiting for your reaction (I suspected how you might react). Now that you have watched one of his performances/MVs I am greedy for more. 😅 You caught everything about this performance that I hoped you would and I learned from you as well. A sincere thank you. Next, I would recommend HOME---tremendous and the subject matter is rather unique--and GOODBYE. And live performances as well; Park Hyo Shin is stunning live. You commented on how well the piano and voice matched so I am also excited to see you really see Jung Jae Il in action. As others have said here these two are a kismet combo.

[@paulfredericksen6565]

I very much enjoyed your perspective on the film elements here. I have always thought this was a remarkable video! All one take, no cuts. Do check out the version from you huiyeol's sketchbook, it's truly remarkable. Jung Jae Il, the pianist here, is also an incredible talent in his own right.

[@DQ_Mine]

❤ One of my favorite songs of all time. I was listening to this and the next song was SOS by Dimash. This song, by Park Hyoshin is the only thing that would help me get to sleep for 6 months. Is is so beautiful and absorbed all of my attention. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@djanise]

It was said that PHS sang live for this MV 💪

[@NextLevel_99]

Thank you for the reaction. Park Hyo-shin's "Wildflower" is a masterpiece. And he is a famous singer in Korea. In Korea, there are vocal singers with great skills such as So hyang and Park Hyo-shin. I recommend the Korean crossover male quartet vocal group . They are known more for their cover songs than their original songs, so I'm very sad. If you get a chance, please react to their cover songs, "Bad Romance", "Bohemian Rhapsody", and "Shape of You". I also recommend their original songs, "FOR LIFE", "SAVE OUR LIVES". And they are planning a tour of North America next January. I sincerely hope that their music will be well known abroad

[@ericaelizalde1544]

Gracias por reaccionar al Capitán Park un Dios vocal y preferido de Jin BTS gracias 🫰🇦🇷 Argentina

[@teresayan4039]

He is sooo good

[@ex5792]

Love your reaction mate! Subscribed and liked!

[@Lou16.]

Always here for your Dimash reactions, but I love PHS too. As others have mentioned there is a live performance (where he has white hair, someone has left you a link) which is well worth watching. I too hope you will react to more from him ❤️🇬🇧

[@Yo_girlie]

U have such a beautiful blue eyes , Thank u for your sincere reaction I really enjoyed it!! ^^ I love Park Hyo Shin ~❤

[@mynameiskj2000]

Cedric I am glad you finally have a chance to lisyen to this song. Really enjoyed your reaction to one of my favorite songs. Thanks 😊

[@vespa2223]

You did an interesting, multi focused reaction. I appreciated that, and that you did not cut it at any critical points (drives me nuts when reactions lose the build up). Search KZbin for videos of him in concert (he can sing every style with perfection), in musicals, in his music videos (you will appreciate the visual techniques), and on You Hee-yeol’s Sketchbook (For an amazing performance of this song). And yes, he is in his forties and looks like a kpop idol. If you look at and listened to his music from 20 years ago, you will hear how much he has changed how he sings. The mechanics and the tone. It all comes from his soul now. Thanks for checking out my favorite singer in the world. Oh, and I giggled as you were saying he was good. Some in Korea call him God Hyo Shin. (Park is pronounced Pahk, with a very soft K) 😊👍🏽

[@amimom2837]

Fun fact: Park Hyo shin and Kim Taehyung of BTS are good friends. They did a late night radio show together recently. It's soothing.

[@ejentabi]

Most of the songs in this album are just amazing and covered by many other artists like So Hyung, Jin, etc. You might also like to check out his live concert and musical performances....

[@신영식-u1q]

I love your reactions!!-♡

[@jamesk8s1]

I was just "introduced" to Park last week, and he is a real gem of a find, I love his easy singing style combined with his whole heart......just beautiful! A great emotionally genuine communicator/singer🙆🏻‍♀💖 p.s. wish you would see his LIVE version!!! tears.....

[@onka33]

Incredible song, the lyrics Made me cry through it

[@Jeannine2007]

Oh, I just came across this reaction, I just love his voice, from low to high. It's been a few years since I first listened to him sing this song and some and other beautiful ballads. When I watched your latest Jackson Wang reaction, I thought of Park Hyo Shin and how gorgeous his voice is and here you are reacting to it! I would love if you would feature him again Cedric, and soon please ❤️

[@sarahlee8871]

Yeah should Check out he live performance.

[@annmcconnell2099]

You would think he was 25, but he's 41 now... Still looks 25. He was huge way before KPop started.

[@Eric-dd8bk]

Well, KPop has always been there. Just that it got recognized globally recently to be frank.

[@triplej8666]

kpop started in '92 so not quite, he was quite afew years later

[@이네기-e9l]

In Korea, Park Hyo-shin is called Got Hyo-shin. Among the 4 male singers who sing well in Korea one person

[@dragonflylover1976]

Please more of PHS 💕

[@fernandoalfian1814]

this song is about his hardships. not only treated badly by his previous agency/company, he develops an illness due to his previous company forced him to sing in a particular way(watch his older songs for reference), and that made him almost lost his voice(and passing out often due to overwork while in his concerts). he also had to do concerts himself, because the company scammed him by embezelling the money from the fans and audiences, causes the venue to almost cancel his concert , and had to pay for all of that from his own pocket(which he almost had none due to the company unfair and ridiculous pay) that led to further depression, and when he sued his company, he lost his cause and the company sued him back,causing him to fill for bankcruptcy back then, because of the huge money the company sued him for. after that, he left for the army, that is when he met the pianist(and became best friends). he actually did not want to produce this song because this was supposed to be his some kind of poem or note of some sort for himself about his hardships, but the pianist helped him through and encouraging him to create a song based on that. and about why he is so sad while performing this song is, because the song is about all his suffering through his life,from being totally used, and overcoming it. from that, he then develops fear of camera(idk if he had overcome it or not,until now). and that is why he nearly did not appear in any of tv shows.

[@aprilmay4242]

So happy that you've discovered the treasure that is Park Hyo Shin- please react to his live performance of this song (kzbin.info/www/bejne/naGYmK2Bd9Otgs0)- even with an audience, it is just as intimate and heartfelt.

[@epictetusstoic4670]

Check out his live on this song, it is incredible

[@azizarahim74]

Checkout his other song - Beautiful Tomorrow 🫰🏻

[@Eric-dd8bk]

I did not expect you to pick up on all the musical details of Parkhyoushin's technic or style, since you left out that you also are a musician,but I was surprised. You need to add "musician" in your title too.

[@sleeping5026]

One take live in a desert. The piano guy is who made the music of the movie 'Parasite'

[@muhammadamree1318]

I think it was mentioned before that they used a drone to film this. Probably one that could accommodate a gimble. If you go back to the beginning you'd see they had a drone filming with them. As for his vocal background he's one of the OG modern balladist that many Kpop artist these days took inspiration from.. You'll be surprised to find what he use to sound like and his journey to his current voice. He was also in theater so its not suprising that you cought a glimpse of that in his tone and the way he carried the song

[@luckyblue2758]

#parkhyoshin#박효신#야생화#wildflower 🫶🏻💙💜

[@itsfeliciasg]

omg yesss!

[@sarahlee8871]

Listening the life version if heaven😀

[@itssee5271]

You need to react to “Goodbye” by Park Hyo Shin

[@jamesk8s1]

p.s. I just saw a very recent YT vid of him starring in Beethoven on the stage, and WOW WOW, can he sing super clean tone Broadway style singing!!!!

[@벼-i5b]

갓효신^^👍👏👏

[@annmcconnell2099]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/naGYmK2Bd9Otgs0 Wildflower on Sketchbook... The blond version in black and white butterfly suit. The reason he closes his eyes when he sings this is, he said if he sees the faces of his audience he won't be able to make it thru the song cause the feelings are too much. One thing to watch is the total silence of the audience as they are so engrossed in the performance. And respect for him and this song. He hadn't done a TV Show in many many years when he appeared on this show. They gave him the full hour and half or so, when usually there are several artists each show.

[@mailidong3576]

As amazing as his voice is now and his 2019 Lovers concert where he really does extended versions with a very big audience, he suffers from a neurologic disorder affecting his voice that was developed during excessive stress in rehearsing nonstop with his former managing company. He is in a music theater production in Korea currently.

[@guxinlenhai]

Spasmodic dysphonia.

[@annmcconnell2099]

It is a one shot video by drone with no cuts.

[@justdanae1213]

Hi Cedric! So happy you are reacting to the wonderful PHS now... please, check out his videos Shine your light and Breath and his Yearning live performance, they are all sublimely beautiful ♥

[@Yo_girlie]

Please react to more more & more Park Hyo Shin!!❤

[@davidwheeler6699]

I just looked at your video and I enjoyed your comments. I think it would be helpful to do a reaction to the composer Jung jah I’ll he writes a lot of Park yho shins music, and he was the composer for the movie, soundtrack of the movie parasite

[@냥냥이-x7h]

V (with PARK HYO SHIN), 2024

[@slimbikr]

Can u compare this to what Sohyang did with min wook hyuk on the same song? Thanks

[@sladkybonbon1653]

Hi! Welcome to my life🤣

[@lililil-rt9dg]

This song is written by Park Hyoshin & Jung Jaeil, who wrote songs from movie Parasite, Squid game too. I love his songs kzbin.info/www/bejne/rKvIXqqjmtCnr7c

[@annmcconnell2099]

This is one of my favorites of his... Breath EXCEPTIONAL performance and song. Eng subs because although the voice alone creates the emotions, his words do make it better. kzbin.info/www/bejne/m2fOh5WmotqhiNk

[@annmcconnell2099]

Sorry another comment... He got musical actor of year in 2019 I believe..maybe 18.. for The Man Who Laughs by Victor Hugo.

[@sonjacarlyle5341]

My second best artist. Very emotional and a true performer. Dimash Kudaibergen is my number 1.

[@kdrrrr7764]

Park hyoshin for me is the best vocalist in South Korea, this man is beyond talented, fun fact he is one of the best friends of Kim Taehyung #V of bts and they love to sing songs together, waiting for their upcoming albums.

[@sylviadomisaac]

Thank you for thiis lovely reaction and congrats on discovering Park Hyo Shin. I may have listened to this some 10000 times and would still feel the same emotions and drawing tears out of my eyes. In fact, he also pours out his emotions every time he performs this and sheds tears 95% of the time. You should watch his live kzbin.info/www/bejne/naGYmK2Bd9Otgs0. Video includes english lyrics. It doesn't get any better than this.

[@gatzs76]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/nn64Xqh3gN6Me7c The song is Park Hyo Shin's "What will I do" in musical Phantom. First is in 2015 and second is in 2016. Fans still argue which version's better...

[@finkylinky6616]

He was up for a Disney Prince, but they chose someone else. They made a big mistake. The piano player, Jung Jae-il, co-wrote this song besides scoring the movie “Parasite”.

[@ClumsyMumsy]

I love this song, he has a great voice, but I prefer the performance video he does with a small audience, it's so emotional. I think Park Hyo-Shin does do musical theatre as well as pop/ballads, he's a great all rounder in my opinion. I enc a link to the video in question, it also has eng subs kzbin.info/www/bejne/naGYmK2Bd9Otgs0

[@romina9168]

Please reactor to "Paro Hyo Shin - Goodbye"

[@김창성-b9c]

Actually, It’s onetake film by drone. And just playing piano and voice. It’s make more special the videos.

[@kllojn]

I suggest to watch the rythem of korea with bts, (it's about korea) , jimin and suga appear in it but don't sing.there are other singers. I think you'll like the cinematography of them , they are superb, and I liked the songs too.

[@RicardoDizonLefthanded]

Hello can you also react to IU - By the Stream ( I prefer jtbc your song)

[@RicardoDizonLefthanded]

just a beautiful human voice with heart and a classic piano

[@johnhoran888]

Quad copter camera, one take
