[@skylerpowers8871]

Meowmeow Yoongi So Hyang is a 40 year old South Korean vocalist with roots in gospel, but she can and has sung many genres. She is known for her phenomenal vocal technique and control that has allowed her to develop easily the best upper register that has ever existed. She’s one of the best vocalists of all time and she’s probably the best in the world right now. To make things even more impressive, she’s also a cancer survivor and constantly struggles with other health issues including pneumonia, liver disease, and a heart condition. Nonetheless, her voice continues to improve despite her already being in her 40s. She doesn’t have any social media and has purposely avoided global stardom, but you can stay up to date on her by joining one of many fan groups on Facebook.

She can not compete with Sohyangs voice but she is doing a great effort. It should be mentioned that Sue Son came into Britain's Got Talent by accident. She was only supposed to support soneone else, but her performance was so good, that the judges asked her to participate on her own.

[@yukistrash]

I will type in English because so many English writers. This is Google Translate so please be patience. This song is very close to me. My grandparents would pass it down to my mother, then to me. Every time we are stressed, worried or afraid, we think and sing this song. This performance makes me cry every time and lets all Koreans unite together in times of societal or political issues become harsh. This is Korean Anthem.

[@user-ex6cv8bf2n]

I'm a Korean. 'Arirang' means 'contact' or 'to meet'. 'Arariyo' means 'I miss you' or 'lovesickness'. Korea is the only divided country in the world. Many families were torn apart by the war. Dokdo is the easternmost island in Korea. It was the first land invaded when it became a Japanese colony. For Koreans, Dokdo is a symbol of sovereignty. 'Baekdusan' is the highest mountain in North Korea and 'Hallasan' is the highest mountain in South Korea, It is also the farthest north and south.

No! We don't need Disney to tell our own culture, we've been successful at doing that ourselves. Let the Koreans represent, we don't need no white people telling our stories for and to us.

[@kindredkate8940]

Axis Boise I agree with part of your statement and disagree with the other. I agree that the Korean culture should not be misrepresented in a Disney film, which is pretty probable if it were to happen. However, I think it’d be a great thing if it was represented correctly. Then, not only would Koreans, Korean-Americans, and Koreans all over the world feel represented in one of the biggest and most successful transnational corporations in the world, but also people of other cultures could understand the Korean culture better. If it’s done correctly, I think it would be really awesome! That’s my opinion anyway.

[@axisboise]

Kindred Kate Like I said, Koreans are doing it already: kpop, kdrama, variety shows, and recently film, are gateways for people learning the culture. Despite kpop and kdrama painting an over-romanticized version of the culture, at least it's done by korean companies; not some culture-stealing transnational corporation. They don't need money-hungry Disney to "represent" the culture. And if Disney wants to make a movie/disney princess representing Koreans, then have both American-Koreans and Koreans create and supervise and evaluate everything. These people who "researched" my Polynesian heritage and still ended up with a whitewashed versions of Moana and Maui. I don't trust them.

This performance fills my chest with so much Korean pride and I am not even Korean

[@pinkgangsta6157]

Arirang is one of the most oldest korean tranditional songs in Korea. Arirang is not just any tradition song it's a very typical one to korean people. Dokdo is symbolized as a guardian of korean territory (it is a small island by Korea) In this song "hill" means hardship or advisory. Arirang is not a place of a name of an actual hill. Some scholars have said that arirang is just a beloved phonetic by Koreans. The term is possibly referring to Korea itself or a feeling of sadness. Korea suffered a lot of hardship because of Japan's Imperialism in the 18th century. In that time, Koreans sang this arirang from the sadness from losing their country and. "Let's cross this arirang hill" means let's over come our hardship together. There are many versions of it, too. This version she is singing Arirang Alone (홀로알리랑) has undertones of reunification between north and south korea - "our hearts will flow as one" and "baekdusan to hallasan". Baekdu is a mountain in North Korea/China border and Halla mountain is the mountain on the southern tip of the Korean peninsula.
