아~리랑 아~리랑 아라리오~ 아리랑 아리랑 고개로 넘어간다~ 나를 버리고 가시는 님은 십리 도 못 가서 발병 난다

Arirang is a Korean folk song that has about 6,000 variations of 60 different versions of the song.

Only Sohyang can make me smile and cry at the same time.

[@armenoid2278]

The arrangement is a masterpiece, the vocals are stunning. She is incredible. Thank you for the reaction. More Sohyang please.

[@tom7471]

A stunning performance by a vocal master! Thanks for the reaction!

[@miguelangelzuasnabargamarr3239]

Welcome back to The Forces of Heaven from Sohyang 😮😢🎉 Thanks from Perú 😊

[@jase7963]

I'm surprised that you already know the basics of Arirang.

[@JH-oj4hw]

I think no one in their right mind would dare to cover SoHyang's rendition of Arirang.😂 It's simply untouchable!!

Queen Sohyang is a vocal goddess or an angel :0

[@ToddSauve]

Arirang has no direct translation to English but the idea it represents is along the lines of very hard work or diligent struggle. The song is based on a Korean folk song that has evolved over a period of 600 years and now is an allegory for their desire to reunite north and south. Sohyang is difficult to rationally explain. She might have died from cervical cancer when she was 20 but credits God with her healing. Yet a bad blood transfusion at the time of the surgery left her with hepatitis B. Normally that is easily cured with antibiotics but this was the rare incurable variety so it plagues her to this day with a compromised immune system and she contracts pneumonia rather often. For a four year period from 2016 to 2020 she was battling it eight different times and was almost out of circulation in the musical community. Thus Sohyang knows what it is to be chronically ill for a lengthy period of time but again credits God with teaching her invaluable spiritual lessons from it. She has largely been fine since then but did come down with covid19 for two weeks in the summer of 2022. Thankfully she recovered well and at the age of 46 sings as excellently today as she ever has. You are right when the thought comes to mind that there is no way this woman is 46! She looks 10 or 15 years younger, at least! But it is true. She was born on April 5, 1978! 🤷‍♂ Professional "super star" level music producers (David Foster), singers (Michael Bolton and Josh Groban), teachers (Seth Riggs) and vocal coaches by the boat load are pretty well stupefied at how much talent is wrapped up in this tiny five foot four inch, 100 pound woman. Sohyang has trained her central nervous system to the point, and developed such articulate muscular control, that her singing technique is perfect. She is considered a master singer. Literally. Again Sohyang gives the credit to the divine entity, stating her voice "is from God." Obviously she has taken her singing talent to the nth degree, and tells others who want to enter the world of professional singing that they must be born with a good voice and then work very hard to develop it. But this barely scratches the surface of who Sohyang is and how talented she is on stage. Her stage presence and body language are unmatched in my experience, much like what Elvis Presley had fifty years ago but different, of course, since she is a sincere Christian woman and believes in presenting herself in modest yet excellent quality theatrical attire and with absolute confidence and purpose at all times. I have also found these high production value South Korean music presentations to be as good as you will find anywhere on the planet. They show Sohyang in the best fashion possible and these seem, to me, as good as you would find at _any_ of the Grammy Awards in their heyday. When you add a Super Star talent like Sohyang to the show, everyone who watches it is quite rightly blown away. 👀😮💥👌😎🎸🎙👽🛸💖💖💖 Here is a video of Sohyang both before and after singing "Arirang Alone." kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJ-sqYaQlsyrl80

You reacted to Park Hyo Shin's emotional Wild Flower a few days ago. So Hyang & Min Woohyuk performed a truly amazing reinterpretation of Wild Flower a couple years ago - truly worth a view.

[@gongjjaneuneopda]

Queen Sohyang

[@pickin4you]

She is, what I believe and many vocal coaches as the best female vocalist on the planet. There is nothing she can’t sing. And sing it better than anyone else.

Best female singer on the planet.

[@maritorres5092]

🙂 , estimados doctores , también BTS , 💜 canta Arirang 🥰 !

[@Peter-yj8fj]

I hope if you continue with Sohyang you will consider both Fate and Wildflower which in my opinion show her vocal skills off to their maximum and the latter showing her amazing ability to harmonise in what is one of the loveliest songs I have ever heard with the most incredible crescendos I have seen,it is an absolute treat to the ears.

[@Peter-yj8fj]

I often liken this to Elvis singing American Trilogy in terms of folk made modern and I don't think anyone else could have done those two songs justice like them.

[@HK_K]

😍😍😍😍😍💕💕

[@pglover64]

Hey Guys, given that both of you are SMEs in performance art and given that I have already seen SoHyang perform Arirang Alone many times I decided to watch how both of your reactions. Without any volume it was very apparent that you both were totally captivated by the performance. Both of you were glued to the video and though neither of you spoke Korean it was evident you both needed no translation to understand and feel just how special this was. It is like watching grown men experiencing Christmas for the first time as kids again. Given you both enjoyed this I would like to recommend and South Korean female artist that I know you will appreciate and enjoy. Park Ki Young, who happens to be very good friends with SoHyang is someone you will truly enjoy. Yeonan Pier is another Korean folk song masterfully performed by Park Ki Young.

[@lilianasuhan178]
