Do you know the story behind her awesome talent? She has always been singing, but when she was 20 years old and newly married she got cancer in her stomach and had to go through several operation. Because of this, she can never have children. But being member of the church she got people praying for her, and she survived the cancer. Because of this she sees her life a gift from God, and she wanted to dedicate her life and singing to Him. She said she wants her singing to comfort people who are in pain, telling them “I see you- I’ve been there”. She has since then almost exclusively been singing at churches at home and abroad, at charity events, or events to honor other artist - meaningful events, and avoided taking part in the big music industry. She has been contacted many times by international managers who could help her getting famous here in the West (she is famous in Asia, despite her limited performances), but she has always refused. Now she is about 40 years old (she looks so much younger!) and the last few years she has been participating in South Korean music contests on TV. When she first started singing on these TV shows she was very conflicted if this was the right thing to do. But then she saw a woman in the audience crying while she was singing, and she realised that her calling was to reach out to everyone who is hurting, not just people in church. ❤️ She not only has an outstanding talent and the most beautiful voice, her singing touches people in a way that is hard to explain, a gift from above. I love your true reaction. very thanks.
She had to come off the show to do a concert in LA. Which I WAS AT! AND I MET HER AFTER THE SHOW! WHICH WAS LIKE... *Faints* I gave her a hug of course and shook her hand and took a few photos and seflies and such. (One of those selfies has been on my phone's background since then.)
She did not lose this one. She had previous engagements in LA to do a concert, which would be on the day of their nnext show. They knew ahead of time she would be leaving. They had to let the other person win and make it look like they beat Sohyang, which we all know is impossible. She has also been on a mini world tour, and preparing for a new album. Now as far as her quitting singing, it was this show that pushed her into uncomfortable songs, because she is a Christian singer and made a promise to GOD when she was young, that she would only sing to praise him, and this rap song was the past straw. Even though many would have loved to hear her sing other stuff, I commend her commitment to GOD to keep her promise.
it's not that she wanted to quit singing all together, she was getting very sick at this point, and she felt as if she was singing to gain notoriety and fame instead of doing what she loved which was singing to heal peoples pain. Early on in the competition, she thought of dropping the show to rest her voice, recover and find herself but the judges and her fans begged her not to so she stayed and became the first one to gain 6 consecutive wins and win the most of any female contestant. When she left, it was a mixture of a 'bad' performance and the fact that she had a massive concert in California in a month or so and she really needed to rest her voice if she wanted to be in better shape and she was still sick as well. So she performed this and left on a strong note.
she probably could have kept going if she wanted, but i think she purposefully chose a weaker song bc she had a bunch of shows in california two weeks after this aired. It was still REALLY GOOD THOUGH. Also, Kai is awesome and sweet and they did a really good cover of The Prayer together a few years ago that you should check out! ua-cam.com/video/hT2LcwW-IHA/v-deo.html
ua-cam.com/video/pmcivvofyCY/v-deo.html Have you listened to Sohyang and Kai's other duet as well? That duet I linked to above is so underappreciated and doesn't get enough love, which is a shame because it's actually my favourite performance of hers (and Kai too). The song itself has a beautiful melody, and Sohyang and Kai's voices complement each other wonderfully, even more so than in "The Prayer" imho. And she has a really nice head voice run to an A5 at around 2:40. And Kai's voice just FITS the song so damn well. It will heal your soul. It's definitely not as flashy as her other songs that she sings in competitions, and she doesn't belt crazy high, but I actually find it more enjoyable because of it. WATCH THE VIDEO PEOPLE.
Another great reaction!! Btw..Alyssa I don't know how, but you have not yet reacted to one of the most glorious (and uplifting) Sohyang performances ever. It is the song "I always miss you". You can find the video here: ua-cam.com/video/Y557dHLCgXI/v-deo.htmlm28s
Hello Alyssa, I have cut and uploaded this SoHyang's video because there was nowhere a video with subtitles on youtube or vimeo. I was certainly not the only one who wanted to know what she was saying. I had to look for the whole shows with subtitles. You may want to check one song together with her friend the "soulmate": Sohyang & Kai - I believe - ua-cam.com/video/zn12yz4UJtE/v-deo.html
영어가 짧아 정말 하고 싶은 말은 한글로 적고싶네요. 우리나라 일부 인터넷 워리어들이 정말 종특인지 ㅜㅜ 이런 전세계적인 가수도.... 그동안 악플에 얼마나 시달리셨으면 .... 계속 노래를 해야하나 고민을.....아...진심... 마음이 아프네요. 고음충이라니 ㅠㅠ 이건 볼때마다 진짜 한대 때려주고 싶은 말입니다. 아무튼 다시 좋은 노래 계속 들려주고 있어서 정말 고맙네요!
Ah, so nice to see the happy you at this merry time of the year! Sorry to hear about your arm though. Hope for a quick recovery. If you keep listening to Sohyang's music, you will heal faster -) Sohyang lost with Day Day in her defense of the throne on KOMS but I really liked her performance (theories abounded she wanted to depart for her upcoming concert in CA). Even more important than winning, I think Sohyang created a new hip hop genre with this stage mixed with swag, power and sweetness - you don't see that combination everyday! She left the show as the swag angel. How appropriate... She had to prepare a new song every two weeks on the show, from song selection, arrangement, practice, coordination with the production crew, rehearsal and actual recording. It is very taxing, particularly for good singers who always want to put out a good performance. There were lots of reports of health issues for Sohyang at that time. As a fan, sorry that we couldn't hear her voices every two weeks but glad she could get some breaks to nurture her health. I was surprised to find out how chatty she is - same as you (hehehe..) It's already a long post. I must have been inspired by you :-) Cheers.
Love your comment. Actually, vocalists joining KOMS have to prepare a new song every week. They film it in one day and cut it into 2 episodes so it must have been really really hard on her, considering her health was in real bad condition for several weeks. (She did share in a speech that she almost couldn't let out a sound on the day she performed "Breathe" but things kinda worked out.)
Yukuo Lee December is my happiest month so I love filming videos at this time and sharing my merriment! I know the holidays can be hard for people so I like to come onto the Internet and share my joy🤗🤗🎄
Hi Alyssa! Great reaction! Sohyang is the best isn't she!! Love the sweater and Christmas decorations! Here are a couple AMAZING acapella videos for you to react to: Voctave - Disney Princess Medley at ua-cam.com/video/aBCukAJwKN0/v-deo.html and The Lion King - Circle of Life acapella arrangement! by Sam Robson at ua-cam.com/video/s_um4Qj4aJA/v-deo.html. You will love them! Guaranteed! Heal up quickly! Lots of presents to wrap! 🎁🎄☃️❄️🎅🏼
Hi Alyssa! Thank you for reacting to Voctave's Disney Princess Medley. I was right when I said "AMAZING" wasn't I? Now you'll need to add the Lion King Circle of Life video (link above) to your list. Sohyang is my favorite and I love Dimash, but variety is the spice of life right? Keep up the good work!
Hi Alyssa thanks for the reaction Lady Sohyang nailed it; I heard 2 things 1) she through it as she had other commitments and 2) health reasons. For me, I think the fans of the original Day Day (a very popular rap) rejected what I think is a superior version by our Korean Angel who brought the words to song. But what do I know I'm an old R&R/RnB Do-oper which brings me to an old RnB standard hed sweetness did a while ago it's not the Supremes or Marvin Gaye it is Sohyang putting her stamp on Aint No Mountain High Enough. ua-cam.com/video/ooJLgFG4Lg4/v-deo.html
Hope your arm is getting well soon! Thanks for your great reaction. I love her not only her excellent vocal and singing skill but her cuteness and kind personality. She has just finished her volunteering in Haiti last month
React to Morissette Amon she got invite to perform in Korea she sang Secret love song and Mash up Best of my love+emotion m.ua-cam.com/video/QtOd5TyUa04/v-deo.html thank you ☺💕

IM JEALOUS!!
Be jealous! It was awesome. My friend and I (we don't usually fanboy over anything) were completely star struck when we met her.
She did not lose this one. She had previous engagements in LA to do a concert, which would be on the day of their nnext show. They knew ahead of time she would be leaving.

Omg thanks for this video, I already saw the reveal but without subtitles lmao, thanks!

Thanks for follow-up. And Breathe turned out to be my favorite performance by Sohyang among all her amazing stages on the show.
