First Time Reaction So Hyang - Arirang Alone [Immortal Songs 2 #1] ( REACTION)

[@yureei717]

Her "You raise up", "I have nothing" and "Everyone" which are all phenomenal!!!!!

[@ceterbru]

Someone told me this: "A tragic song of separation and lost love, Arirang is a national symbol not only of Korea’s distant past, but also its turbulent modern history. It served as a symbol of Korea’s struggle for independence under Japan, and its relevance has remained throughout decades of division and fraternal hostilities. “Arirang represents all the joys and sorrows in the history and lives of Koreans,” says the National Folk Museum of Korea. “It is deeply rooted in Koreans’ emotion as the cultural DNA.” (Arirang, a song of joy and sorrow in modern times) People grow up with this music no matter they live in North and South, they all listen to this kind of music and it evokes their nostalgia feelings about their nations and cultural they carry with. The separation between two countries and the sad past make this music more exotic."

Epic performance from an Epic artist 🎙️🎵🎶

[@woodywood-cw7wn]

love sohyang

[@tom7471]

So Hyang is simply the best! Thanks for your reaction. There is a very large rabbit hole to enter. "I Have Nothing' from the DMC Festival, her in a blue dress is another legendary performance. Here is the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/imW4qnyDoMmsaq8

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 45years 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 ♥

[@gavinbehavin]

Loved the reactions and So Hyang. I have nothing from DMC festival is a must see. Best always s

[@sangwonson5666]

You have to hear 'I have nothing' by Sohyang. Best song in the world.

[@andymolina5206]

I loved the fact that you recognized how important this song is in the Korean culture, since the message of this beautiful song is to achieve the dream of unifying the two Koreas as they were some time ago, none of Sohyang's reactions will disappoint you, she puts all her soul in each of her performances to the point of making many in the audience get emotional, as you very well said, Sohyang has an incredible orchestra, what you may not know is that she is in charge of all the musical arrangements in each of her presentations, please react to her other presentations, I promise that all of us your subscribers will continue to support you as much as we do now, I leave you the following songs of Sohyang for your reactions : You raise me up Everyone Lean on me Where are you Oh holy night I have nothing I will always love you Misty Dream (her original song) Fate And please react to her cover in the special TV show called The king of masked singer with her performances : Breathe Hug me Home Mona Lisa Day day And of course her last releases One million roses Easy on me Wild flower Thanks in advance for your incredible job, my friend, blessings from El Salvador!

[@이태리때타울]

Very thanks for the good reaction :) Her voice is perfect!!!!! 😱

[@JH-oj4hw]

Best version of Arirang ever in Korean history.. for me! She is the Beast!!

[@monarch-black]

There are quite a few good ones for next. I'd recommend "Day Day", since it's a style a bit more normal for the channel. There is a King of Masked Singer version where she's wearing a costume and an outdoor concert version with 5 people in the thumbnail (I'm linking) kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHO0qJt5lLF_m80 A few other good ones if people recommend are "You Raise Me Up", if you want to hear how good she is while performing with pneumonia. (She has some health problems after winning her cancer battle.) "Everyone" is her most demanding song. "I Have Nothing" makes you forget it's a Whitney Houston song, not hers. Many many more good ones.

[@steveheckle8847]

Do you realise this is her own arrangement, she does the arrangement and production herself, she had pneumonia in this performance as well which kept recurring over a three year spell, she's just magnificent, remarkable considering she's this brilliant at 45yrs of age 🇬🇧🔥👌❤️.

[@hyuk-jinjung4599]

She is the best female singer in this world. Michael Bolton recently had a concert in Korea, and she sang "Oh Holy Night" there, which was so touching. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jnS1hWSnp7OXf6c Another is "Upon this Rock," which she sang at the concert. kzbin.info/www/bejne/o2rKhJxprtBpnZI The next is "One Million Roses" which was performed on a TV show. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJ3ahJihoJd0fpI Last weekend she sang 'Part of your world', the OST of The Little Mermaid, on a TV show. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZCTfZibop2Im7M The last is "Easy on me" This is her busking performance. She is a superstar, but she sings on both big and small stages. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qanEh2VniM5jqZI [Sohyang List] - You raise me up (Immortal songs 2) - Bridge over troubled water (Immortal songs 2) - I have nothing (I am a singer legend) - Lean on me (Immortal songs 2) - I'll always love you (begin again Korea) - Oh holy night (I am a singer 2) - Everyone (Immortal songs 2) - Arirang alone (Immortal songs 2) - Power of love (2014 live) - Never enough (begin again Korea) - Misty (begin again Korea) - I'll be there (begin again Korea) - I won't give up (Open Concert) - Amazing Grace (Global Church Blessing 2020) - Mona lisa (King Of Masked Singer) - Fate (I am a singer 2) - Wild flower (Immortal songs 2) - Where are you (I am a singer 2) - Dear love (King Of Masked Singer) - Never Ending story (I am a singer 2) - If I ain't got you (begin again Korea) - The prayer (Jeong Ui Geun & So hyang) - My favorite things (begin again Korea) - Easy on me - One Million Roses - As I live (I am a singer 2) - Breathe (King Of Masked Singer)

[@losiele90]

Here are my suggestions! 1. I will always love you kzbin.info/www/bejne/eoCbZWh7prpmm6c Another great cover. Sohyang did busking during the pandemic. 2. Everyone kzbin.info/www/bejne/iWqtYp6Vr9KiaJY Most emotional ride. It is a korean gospel song, and Sohyang put her own English lyrics there. 3. Misty kzbin.info/www/bejne/eYabcn6Ld7JseLM Old classic jazz beautifully reinterpreted by Sohyang. 4. Higher kzbin.info/www/bejne/d3SchoJ7m5edisU A song written by Sohyang, newly released. I recommend you acoustic ver. Of this song. First of all, it is unique, and second, you could be the first person who does a reaction for this version. 5. You raise me up kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpbCfWylm82Iqpo Great cover, and the best rendition of this song imo.

[@jdw9397]

This song and Bridge Over Troubled Waters are my favorites of her songs. Someone below recommended Big Mama on Killing Voice. Their harmonies are crazy good!

[@joandsarah77]

This is a modern take on an old folk song. The original was a story about two lovers, now it's about South and North Korea, the war and the split and the longing and hope they have for reconciliation. It was written by a man who had to leave two grown children behind in North Korea. I gave you a starting list of her songs on her last video, I am sure others did too.

[@armenoid2278]

Arirang Alone is an old Korean folk song written in the hope and longing for the reunification of Korea. Sohyang's arrangement is a masterpiece and her vocals are mind blowing as always. Next, check out her performance of You Raise Me Up, make sure its the version from Immortal Songs 2 2018 (more than 10M views). Thank you for the reaction.

[@jorgebenitez6486]

HOLA ESTIMADO SOHYANG ES COSA SERIA PARA MI ESTA AHORA MISMO EN EL TOP3 DE SINGER EN EL MUNDO TE RECOMIENDO ( Y ALWAYS LOVE YOU O SIEMPRE TE AMARE EN CASTELLANO ESCRIBO DESDE URUGUAY (SUDAMERICA).

[@bobbysmith683]

Enjoyed your reaction to Sohyang...look for video OH Holy night 2022 version it's amazing❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@stevefranken4052]

Check out her cover of Whitney Houghston I Have Nothing. She absolutly kills it!!!!

[@kirkhall2099]

You should listen to her sing. Bridge Over Troubled Water

[@sugartax2314]

Thanks for the genuine reaction. There are so many performances that have literally covered my body in goosebumps and even had me in tears, but I would suggest her cover of "I Have Nothing" (Whitney Houston) next because it's another genre from Sohyang that you have yet to cover. There is a great back story of how she ended up on tour with David Foster after Oprah Winfrey's agent discovered this performance and told her it was a "MUST WATCH". If you decide to check it out here is the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/imW4qnyDoMmsaq8 Thanks again!

[@beyondviolet]

This is my personal favorite of hers, but I acknowledge that some are technically more impressive. You really can’t go wrong with any of them.

[@inzaghiscornsalad7034]

I know everyone and bridge over troubled water are fan favorites, but this Bb5 will forever stay in my heart and i find myself searching for a reaction to this all the time

[@DaRealRenegade]

[@user-eh3db7dc2d]

Be sure to listen to Big Mama's killing voice. They are the best singers like Sohyang. I won't regret it

[@ToddSauve]

Cliff, 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 45 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 45! 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 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. 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. 👀😮💥👌😎🎸🎙👽🛸💖💖💖
