[@hao_horizon_8429]

just a bit of context ;) this isn’t from an award show, this is part of a korean tv show called immortal songs, where each episode the legendary songs from a person/act or to a theme are covered by different artists the one guy in beige was Pdogg, the main producer of BTSs discography this episode was the BTS X Pdogg special, so BTS songs where being covered Spring Day was my favorite one but i also enjoyed the Blood, Sweat & Tears version by Yuk Joongwan and band

[@ComedianReacts]

Oh, is it sponsored by the people behind the Melon Music Awards then? 🤔

[@hao_horizon_8429]

@@ComedianReacts Melon is the biggest korean music streaming platform (maybe like spotify here?) and they sponsor this show and host/sponsor the melon music awards (extra fun fact I just learned: Melon stands for Melody On, not the fruit) :)

이분 뭐죠..... 다른 해외 리액션하시는 분들과 틀리게 판소리를 소개하고 송소희분의 영상을 보여준것에 대해 한국인으로써 너무너무 감사합니다. 저도 한국인이지만 판소리에 대해서 잘 모릅니다. 이렇게 영상 리엑션을 하시면서 판소리에 대해 소개해 주신 것에 대해 너무너무 감사합니다. 응원하겠습니다. ^^

[@MiguelEnriqueCVeluz]

The Korean culture is very invested in the concept of "sori" and epic storytelling. If you watch Korean variety shows, the way they tell stories just hits different. Even the pansori singer from the first video uses sound effects while she talks, like "KHWAK!" "KWAL-Kwal-kwal." And Song Sohee grasps this well too. She can transform her voice from a silent wind to a rolling thunder, to even rocks tumbling down the mountainside, in a matter of seconds.

[@SemilieJ95]

she is so talented! I’m in love with this version. I really enjoyed all the other BTS covers that were done on Immortal Songs, but this was by far the best. In the show there were also interviews with BTS, were they mostly talked about Pdogg and their old songs (if i remember correct) and talked a bit about the people doing the covers.

[@oliviagil799]

Wow I can't believe you reacted to this performance!! It's also great that you saw that video at the beginning, it gives a lot of context. The singer of the cover is very famous for her style of singing, which is heavily influenced by pansori. When I first heard this cover I also got so many chills over my body... And I still do every time I watch it, her voice is beautiful, very unique and has so much emotion in it

[@Jaguar470]

This was an utterly BRILLIANT rendition. Especially when the went down on the high notes to represent the fall you go through with loss just PERFECTLY captures remorse!!! BEAUTIFUL!

[@syedanidafatima8614]

I was Hypnotized when I first listened to her! Beautiful.

[@sruticranjith5194]

All the BTS song versions performed were god tier on this show!

[@user-yj7mz7mt6z]

Wow pansori! 판소리 영상을 보고 봄날 커버를 보다니.... 예상치 못한 디테일 It is Korean traditional singing. Usually singers are actors too. Like opera by 'one player'. They perform a play with singing alone.

[@sj7265]

song so hee always gives me chills so i definitely understand your reaction. Her more traditional performance if haeundae elegy actually brings me to tears every time i hear it

[@TaijaRae.]

I know I left a comment on the patreon already, but thank you so much for your reaction to this!!! 💜💜 So glad you enjoyed!!

[@ComedianReacts]

Hey, thanks for your support! And the cool request 😎 👊

[@bembolbug]

Thank you for your request! I think i would never have discovered this masterpiece otherwise. It makes me curious of the other performances as well. Will check those out too

[@viannebelle]

@@bembolbug I really loved the Fake Love Cover that was done as well!

[@shaaka]

Song So Hee has a gorgeous voice. her diaphragm and breath control.. next level. Im in the americas Pansoori reminds of the Native indigenous folk music here.

[@MarinaEariel]

You know what? I didn't make the connection before but you're right kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXrOhJ5_gb-BZqs

[@bembolbug]

Wow, yeah, now that i think of it, the Native American folk music also has that narrative emotional character to it!

[@maddieh8598]

oh i really loved this show!! all of the people that was in it did an amazing job that day!

[@erume5776]

what i've heard about the gugak style of singing is that the sound comes directly from the throat (you can notice So Hee doesn't open her mouth a lot, but still delivers powerful vocal). the training for this must be hard

[@ComedianReacts]

That explains the ‘warbling’ quality! It sounds crazy! 🤩🤩🤩

[@dreamzbts6585]

All the performances on Immoral Songs of BTS were like out of the world!

[@taminopeters88]

Just to clear things up, this is not Pansori. Pansori (판소리) is a kind of music of which the significance and story-telling (and even development) can be compared to that of the Western opera. It usually has more spoken sections and the singing is heavier, more fluctuating, uses generally more volume and almost always involves a 'shouting' section and a lot of grit/distortion. A good modern example is Go Yeong,- Yeol (고영열) who also appeared on this show. Song Sohee is singing Minyo (민요) which is more akin to folk music, has a different history, varies greatly from region to region and is usually more controlled and sometimes lighter than Pansori (even though both styles of singing rely on extremely great projection). Gugak (국악) is the all encompassing term used for all Korean traditional music, with or without singing. A good demonstration of the differences between Minyo and Pansori singing can be found here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gp7NfJV3eZmhgJZo the two singers are Song Sohee and Go Yeong-Yeol

[@ComedianReacts]

Thanks for clarifying that! I did wonder because I looked up Song Sohee on wikipedia after reacting to try and learn more and I couldn't find anything about Pansori mentioned there! 🤓

[@hoya7792]

wow it's perfect answer you are much better then korean

[@humptydumpty2066]

I love song sohee!! This is by far my fave cover of spring day

[@erume5776]

it's from the korean show Immortal Songs as i understood when i was watching this episode, they invite an artist and people related to artist's music (producers for example) to interview them, while other artists cover their songs to decide who covered it better :) i loved So Hee's the most

[@ZeltickCrow]

Now he should react to the cover of Blood Sweat & tears and Fake Love they did on the same show. They are absolutely amazing

[@icybird9999]

Yeah, this episode of Immortal Songs was FANTASTIC!!! It's a mix between an interview, a proper performance, and a competition of iconic songs from different genres / artists being performed by artists with varying styles. This episode was "The BTS Special". Their main producer, PDogg was invited to judge, and BTS did an interview prior to explain the process of making the songs and how it felt to be them at that period in time. Edit: he's the guy in a brown out fit with big glasses who was just vibing 😎

[@bembolbug]

Who’s performance won then? Would you know?

[@cmoneman3025]

My favorite cover from this show was the old rock version of Blood Sweat and Tears by 6BAND. It's phenomenal. I still go back and listen to it regularly

[@bembolbug]

Can you share the link to that please 🤗

[@MarinaEariel]

I missed half of your reaction because this version always makes me close my eyes

[@PJOh]

That was a very entertaining reaction! I have been requesting just about every voice teacher I can find to react to this, but so far there have been so few takers. So I was so glad to see your reaction! Song Sohee is a Grand Master of gugak, which includes pansori, minyo and other traditional arts. I love everything about this performance. The beginning sounds a bit like a hand drum solo, the middle sounds like the Chinese instrument called erhu, and some parts sound almost like a human immitation of a uillean pipe (like Davy Spillane from Riverdance). When that chorus comes in, it gets me every time, just like that guy in the school uniform holding his chest. Love the staging, costumes, and everything else. The producers thought of every detail!

[@cmoneman3025]

The epic robes they're wearing is called "hanbok"! Korean traditional clothing...bts have been incorporating "modernized hanbok" into their own performances and MV since IDOL! You may recall this from the explained video you watched😊...some of the boys also like wearing hanbok casually, especially jungkook. Before this, they'd wear it every now and then...Jin once went viral/made news in Korea for wearing luxurious hanbok to the airport (it was a punishment, I believe, but he took it in stride and in style)

[@bembolbug]

Yeah, jin definitely look so handsome in traditional hanbok. He could give all those historical kdrama actors a run for their money.

[@lixjoonhoneymt7149]

the show (immortal songs) creates some of the best and most iconic covers in the Korean Music Idnustry the show takes idols and singers and entertainers and said artist create covers to songs (and performances) according the the weeks episode theme (the theme can be a genre of music, a category of music, an artist, or a producer) that weeks episode (ep.482) was "BTS" so all of the artist created performances to BTS songs Koonzoo & ALiEN - FIRE Song So-hee - Spring Day Yuk Joong-wan Band - Blood Sweat & Tears Son Seung-yeon (Feat. AleXa) - DNA Sunwoo Jung-a - Fake Love BAE173 - I Need U

[@cmoneman3025]

I love that you watched the first video. I'd never watched it myself....it gave great background! I like that you wanted to get some background. Thanks Taija! And I'm with you on your journey to connect with nature and take care of your mental health! Proud of you!

[@rbkv334]

you did it again Comedian, I was with you in the feels when you said that "she has pipes" and had me laughing, so thanks!

[@gray_7]

It's funny I was just listening to this the day before your upload. The way that last note hangs in the air brings tears to my eyes every single time somehow.

[@우왕굳-r5f]

판소리는 한국사람들도 접근하기 좀 어려운 부분인데 송소희가 중간다리 역활을 잘 해줬다 생각합니다. 덕분에 대중성도 어느정도 챙겨가고 관심도도 높아졌다 생각함. 멋지다

[@ComedianReacts]

좋은 의견! 😁

As others mentioned its from tv show and you have to check out fake love as well from same show . Song so hee has other song called " tearful duman river " from this show , you will be impressed. Thank you

Yeah.. When I watched this, I got goosebumps, too.. The other BTS songs covered in this show also great.

Hi Comedian! 😊This is Taehyung funny moments video i recommend. I also love pansoori version of spring day. Have a happy day☺

[@Pulse041]

Oh my. You do let me know why many Koreans loved titanic OST including me. Both far ends always connected each other.

[@incyphe]

I came across this performance a few days ago (didn't even realize it was BTS cover) and learned that it was a tribute to nearly 300 students who drown in the Sewol ferry disaster. Following along the lyric was depressingly sad. :-/

[@JenAvaShei]

bold of you to assume I was cutting onions

[@mirapyaar8932]

-Yes You can easily be impressed and feel emotions chills from first mins by Song so hee cause her. vocals and techniques are on other level ..if you loved this one ... Then her legend performance cover "tearful duman River "(korean song from 1938 that big epic sad real story behind it talking about Korea during Japanese colonialy) is must watch ..👍👍👍👍 kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZbPmoxmmat0e7s ..Song so hee displayed her talent for music at a very young age,. When she was only 5 years old, her parents enrolled her in a academy to develop her singing skills. .she become South Korean singer who is more specializes in traditional Korean music known as gugak.,She start to be famous after winning the KBS National Singing Contest in 2008 at the age of 11, earning her a reputation as a gugak prodigy. The South Korean government honored Song with the title, "Best Korean of the Year," in 2010(the youngest grand prize winner in the 29 years of the contest's history.). She is also know at international level and invited to sing in many Festival and culture exchange events like: Japan, Russia, and the United States

11:40 i one saw a comment that this song would be the ost if the titanic was a korean movie..

[@cmoneman3025]

Oh, last comment (sorry, not sorry, it's engagement,least I can do) the glasses+brown-hoodie/jacket guy is PDogg. PDogg has been one of bighit's in house producers since the beginning, basically big-bro-mentor-producer-teacher-friend of bts... he has credits on nearly every major bts song. All the title tracks and singles...there are army's that will defend him to death. PDogg is a favorite ( on a complete aside, did you guys know that PDogg, Son Sungdeuk and Lee Hyun posted a reaction video to Butter! Did you see it? Wild, amirite! It was hilarious and them talking about the boys growing up well, little jungkookie growing up and how cool seokjinnie is..maaan) That why this show "Immortal Songs" kept cutting to him he was invited as the main guest to see other artists interpret these "immortal" iconic, bts songs. (I still can't belive bts songs have that much respect and regard, but I also can..they are iconic immortal songs)

[@CutieYoli]

Ah you should watch some BTS award show performances then! Since you’ve reacted to idol I think you’d enjoy BTSs MMA 2018 performance.

[@TheTwil1]

for me the guitar was misplaced, it didnt feel like it belonged there, but the singing was so beautiful i overlooked it.

[@enso7890]

I love Song So Hee as a vocalist but some of the arrangements of her songs are a bit cheesy to my ears.

[@annmarygonsalvez7116]

RM studied pansori

[@bembolbug]

Is that why his screams is extended and undulating 🤔 lol just kidding 😆

[@Panorama-memory]

Basically, the meaning of pansori is ‘pan’ means a place or floor where some people gather. ‘Sory’ is sound. In other words, imagine it like this. The story is told in an informal place where many people gather. It's a type of 'bard' from the Middle Ages in Europe, and it's a genre that reads novels. So pansori probably started with reading full-length novels to many people. As it became more professional, it became acting and singing style. In the old days, there were no microphones, and sound had to be transmitted to many people in a large place, and this had to be done for several hours. That's why they use such unique singing methods. 1. Pronunciation will travel far. 2. You will not be hoarse for several hours 3. You will be able to hear clearly Resonance, a Western singing method, has poor transmission power in an open area. To put it simply, you can think of pansori as a profession of singing novels to numerous people in a large field.

[@katch7299]

hey, we miss you! hope everything's fine :)

Hey Comedian, I wanted to ask, do you think you will react to bby gang’s other videos about what you don’t understand about Kpop/what méfie doesn’t understand about Kpop/Kpop vs Orientalism? Would you like a reminder about it every few weeks or so? I think you hearted my comment in the last bby gang video but I was unsure if you were going to react to the rest. I don’t know what a heart means in your personal KZbin language. Anyway, regarding this video, I’m really glad you were openmindes to feel the emotion in her voice and in pansoori in general. It makes me a more open minded person in turn to see how someone else remains open minded.

[@toxigenic]

Hey, I was thinking about your channel the other day! Ninja Sex Party just released the music video for "The Mystic Crystal" and I think you'd find it hilarious. I highly recommend you check it out even if you don't make a reaction video to it. Take care!
