GREAT reaction. This performance from the 8th Wonder Of The World, So Hyang, is just a small sample of the flexibility in her voice. So Hyang's vocal range is RIDICULOUS and her breath control is INSANE. Her technique is FLAWLESS and EFFORTLESS. Although this event was in 2015, trust and believe, in 2022, she is sounding better than ever, proving her technique is ROCK SOLID!!

[@nathanlongwell]

Beautiful! I can’t wait to experience more!

[@t.lucalake8963]

@@nathanlongwell I promise you, every So Hyang performance is Master Class. Even when she sings in Korean, it is not necessary to understand the lyrics. So Hyang is BRILLIANT at conveying the message/meaning of every song.

[@yukuolee3740]

Those who listen to Sohyang inevitably come away impressed or amazed by the extraordinary voice she brings, regardless whether one is a fan or not. Her vocal is just undeniably superb and awe-inspiring. Yet there are vocal and musical experts who focus on her flawless technical skills in a performance. However, her targeted audience are the ones who tune in automatically to the emotional context of the performance, who invariably become absorbed in the connection between her voice and their soul. This song is a classic and Sohyang imprinted the stamp of immortality with her rendition here.

[@nathanlongwell]

Absolutely mesmerizing. ❤️

[@Hopefully_Sohyang]

I think it's one of bet song of my life, hope you have the best day.

It looks like this wonderful song was waiting for her talend and passion to be revamped and beamed to our hearts. She transformed with her touch, a masterpiece to a legend.

소향노래 고마워요

[@Diamond77.]

소향은 단지 노래만 부르는 것이 아니라 내면으로부터 주님을 찾으며 기도하고 있어요. 우리 한국🇰🇷의 가수 소향 영상을 사랑해주셔서 감사합니다.💙

[@joandsarah77]

Welcome to Sohyang's world. Two syllables "So -Hyang" The H blends into the Y but no "hi' sound. This is one of her many masterpieces that she, her husband and small team arranged.

[@riffgroove]

She sings every syllable like it's the last one to ever come out of her mouth, doesn't she? Her version of "You Raise Me Up" brings me to tears every single time. But before you watch her rendition of the 7+ minute "Everyone," dig a grave.

[@tom7471]

Truly one of the greatest performances of all time by any singer. Her version of "I Have Nothing' (with her in a blue dress) is also amazing, as is 'Lean On Me' with Michael Bolton in the audience (he made it a hit). Thanks for your reaction! She has a lot of great songs to choose from.

[@eddieyoo8292]

Welcome to Sohyang world~~!!^^ And.. Congratulation that you've just entered heaven's gate..!!^^

[@user-zx3vj8ju3r]

성스럽고 아름다운 소향님😍 좋은영상 감사합니다😄

[@user-tl6yj7vk8e]

Sohyang's songs always seem to convey a comforting message to the audience. And her name is hard to pronounce. You can misread it with a so-ha-ang. The correct pronunciation should be "so" and "hyang" in two letters Thank you.

[@ToddSauve]

Overwhelming, isn't she? Here's a biography I wrote up about Sohyang. I hope you enjoy it. ************************* We all wonder if Sohyang is human or from another planet. Current odds are that she’s from another planet, with an outside chance she’s actually an angel come down from Heaven. 😇 We have never heard anyone sing like her, or be able to hold an audience in the palm of her hand until she lets them go. Her voice is, as one person described it, like liquid gold. Perfection in clarity and pitch, and she doesn’t fade in the upper octaves, which is startling when you hear her hit those 5th and 6th octave notes with such _POWER_ it actually gives everyone goose bumps-and makes us bald guys’ hair stand on end! As she says, her voice “is from God.” She does all the musical arrangements herself, with the input of her in-law family and musical assistants, teaches vocal technique at a South Korean university and speaks five languages: Korean, English, French, Vietnamese and Chinese, as well as reading Greek! Let me catch my breath. OK. She is a cancer survivor from uterine cancer at the age of 20, just after getting married, and states very plainly that God saved her life due to the prayers of her church. But this left her without the ability to have children so she decided to dedicate her life to being a Contemporary Christian Gospel singer and has refused recording contracts from the biggest corporations in the world. She only wants to sing for charities, churches and while doing missionary work, to strengthen those suffering through difficult times. David Foster, Josh Groban, Michael Bolton and others have all eagerly worked with her when they were in Asia. She contracted hepatitis B from a blood transfusion during her cancer surgery and it clings to her to this day. Because of this she is prone to catching pneumonia but has sang perfectly while suffering from it in her live performance of “You Raise Me Up” before Shane Filan of Westlife on South Korean TV: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpbCfWylm82Iqpo She has asked those who love her singing to pray that God keep pneumonia away from her, she has suffered from it on so many occasions. Imagine how she must feel with this coronavirus floating around everywhere! She just turned 44 on April 5, 2022, though in Korean culture she would be 45 because you are deemed to be one year old when you are born. She was about 37 when she sang this version of “Arirang Alone”, their unofficial national anthem based on a 600 year old folk song expressing their desire to reunify north and south: vimeo.com/308253527 After being sick with pneumonia eight times from 2016 through to 2020, and considering giving up singing altogether, she decided to enter a televised singing contest called “King of the Masked Singers” in 2017 and won six consecutive times, which has catapulted her into international attention from the performances being posted on KZbin. Whitney Houston’s former manager saw her on KZbin and showed her to Oprah Winfrey, who brought her to David Foster’s attention. Foster then contacted Sohyang and went to Japan in order to have her perform eight concerts with him at Tokyo’s famous Blue Note Club in late-2018. For those who don't know, David Foster was Whitney Houston's producer for her albums, wrote "I Have Nothing", her most iconic song, and is probably the most famous and influential music producer in the world. He places Sohyang right beside Whitney and the rest of the top tier divas. Here is the interview where Sohyang related the events: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e6LIdpJno7Vggc0 (Be sure to turn on English subtitles.) Here is the version of “I Have Nothing” Oprah, David Foster, Whitney's former manager and the rest watched on KZbin: kzbin.info/www/bejne/imW4qnyDoMmsaq8 She preceded it with this blockbuster: vimeo.com/312061203 She could be an international Super Star if she wanted to be but has decided that it would ruin her spiritually, quoting Proverbs 14:12 “There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death.” In a South Korean television interview Sohyang conceded that she struggled with her desire for fame for a number of years, going into the basement in her home numerous times and closing the door so she could complain vehemently to God that He was holding her back from becoming famous due to her health problems and other unforeseeable events. Then she later saw a Korean TV drama where the talented daughter of a very successful businessman was positive she would take over when her father retired. But he left the management of the company to a woman she hated, so she had a fit and lay kicking and screaming on the floor. Sohyang says she saw herself in that young woman and then understood that God was keeping her from developing self-destructive character by withholding international celebrity status from her. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJ2Qm4tvoKeme9U (Again, turn on English subtitles.) So as a consequence she does not pursue fame or fortune and actually has no social media presence whatsoever. What can one say about such a person? She is a literal Wonder Woman! And we need about a billion more just like her! On Oct. 5, 2020, it was revealed that Sohyang turned down _yet another_ contract offer, this time from Sony Music US. www.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20200921000995 “Debuting in [the] US was my utmost goal for the past 20 years. But when I got a call from the US agency, I politely rejected, as I realized that what I wanted most was not becoming famous,” she said. “I think singers are very susceptible to arrogance, especially when they hear the screaming from crowds on stage. It can make you feel like as if you’ve become God.” “And I’m perfectly okay with sharing my music via KZbin, which can reach tens of millions of people all over the world without making me feel stuck up. Maybe that’s why I was born in this era.” Sohyang is just the most amazing singer, Christian and human being. She is beautiful both inside and out, and so humble and genuine, with a stage charisma, facial expressions and smile that is off the charts. In Korean dictionaries 소향--Sohyang--has several meanings. • First is a type of Korean traditional music. • Second is to burn incense on a burner. • Third is to go toward. But these meanings are rarely used today. Sohyang is also the name of a heroine in a Korean traditional novel. Yet for the definitive answer Sohyang has stated in an interview that her name means "enjoy the light." Please analyze her performance of “Bridge Over Troubled Water”: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eWfMeZtqrqeredE Also, please react to her version of “The Power of Love”: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gqOxnImIp7Bqlas Plus this beautiful duet with her friend Lee Hi where they do Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons’ “Can’t Take My Eyes Off Of You”: vimeo.com/439148918 And this version of her singing “Oh Holy Night”: vimeo.com/322716334 Here she performs “Lean On Me” before Michael Bolton, who called her a vocal “virtuoso” after her performance: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fafWmHaiociBhqc Wait until you see her duet of David Foster's “The Prayer” with Jeong Ui Geu: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKXIXqRpoNqhppo Her performance of "Fate" in Korean requires no translation: vimeo.com/198161448 And finally “Will You Be There”: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pHPHhKObrbqrn80 Here’s an English language interview with her that I’m sure you will enjoy: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hGPYkKOjpLyroJo Her English is perfect when she sings and almost perfect when she is doing interviews. OK, I’ll stop gushing now. Well, one more gush. In an interview with a Turkish music producer Sohyang's assistants revealed (a bit to her chagrin, as she is a self-effacing person) that she can hit Eb7 and D7 in practise. However, she never goes above the 6th octave in performances. Since she starts at D3 that is more than a 4 octave range ... so how about them apples???! Here it is: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJ-zcp6ortesnbM I know, bananas isn’t it? Oh, I just remembered, she is also a published fantasy novelist and has a theological treatise on the Book of Revelation in print. In addition, she is a very good stage actress, which she proved by playing Julie Andrews’ part in the South Korean production of “The Sound of Music.” Moreover, she sang the “Moana” part in the Korean version of the Disney film, does the musical vocals for many South Korean television dramas, and is a talented artist and cartoonist. She taught herself English by watching Disney's "The Little Mermaid" "about one hundred times" when she was just a kid, speaks English with a _perfect_ North American accent and has a bubbly personality. She can also play the piano and guitar. Is there anything this genius level woman can’t do? Ironically, Sohyang stated in another interview that both she and her in-law family were surprised to discover that she could sing so excellently! Though she is less than 5' 4" and only about 100 pounds, Sohyang simply transcends the thresholds of music and takes you there with her. She becomes the song when she sings it, and then re-emerges when she is done. An experience like no other. I don’t know what else to say. I’ve spent _entire days_ listening to her, and shed more than a few tears of joy along the way. I really must also compliment the choir, orchestra and audio/video production people Sohyang works with. They are all top notch from what I can see and hear, and that is important to note as these are _essential_ elements of any great musical production. The Korean people are easily as talented as anyone else. As you can see, I am a shameless fan. 😉

[@davidcochran6291]

It doesn't take long to fall in love with her and, or her voice. Both are unique and powerful. Her back story should be made into a movie. She has been called the Korean Mariah, but I think that diminishes her talent. You mentioned Josh Groban, who I love. You then should hear her version of 'You Raise Me Up' which she got out of a hospital bed with a severe case of Pneumonia to sing. She went straight back to hospital for 5 more days. I'll leave a link for this below. P.S. Paul Simon wrote this song and performed it with Art Garfunkel. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpbCfWylm82Iqpo 'You Raise Me Up' So Hyang cover of the song Josh Groban made famous.
