renzo torres Cuz American racists media. If you don't sing in English you are irrelevant. There are many singers in the world who are great. Its our fault as well as fans who continues to support American shit media.
Yes please, "Arirang Alone", "Lean On", "O Holy Night", "I Have Nothing", "Hug Me", and all song in reality show called The Mask Singer, and so so sooo many other, oh my God, all of them make me goosebumps, the amazing So Hyang! 😍😍😍
Thank you Sam. I can't wait to watch your another reaction to Sohyang. She has a heavenly voice and an angelic personality. I hope you react to 'I Have Nothing' and 'Arirang Alone'.
Always nice to see new vocal coaches get introduced to the awesomeness that is Sohyang. Great to get the breakdown of what actually happened after you enjoy the actual performance. Thumbs up!
So Hyang is incredible. She’s honestly the best vocalist in the world currently and one of the best of all time. Her mix and head voice, in particular, are incredible and basically unparalleled. You should check out “Arirang Alone” and “Everyone” next. They’re even better and she belts EVEN HIGHER. But she has dozens of incredible world class performances. This isn’t even her best because she’s always incredible.
Best vocalist in the world? Natalie Weiss and Vanessa Amorosi would like a word. Both are more complete vocalists from bottom to top. Sohyang has a very slight edge in a couple of upper belts but it's negligible. And Sohyang could never compete with Natalie or Vanessa in lows, mid belts, or agility. And their head voice is about even. Sohyang also tends to use way too much twang and sounds extremely nasally. She is very top heavy and relies on g5 and above to sound impressive. I have a great deal of respect for her as a vocalist but to me she is no where near as complete as Natalie and Vanessa.
Joshua Rexrode I disagree. Sohyang has significantly better head voice than them both. Natalie and Vanessa are fantastic, but Natalie rarely even ventures above G# and she thins out her mix quite a bit as she passes around E5. Vanessa is great, but her mix is very heady. Sohyang, at least when not sick, maintains a balanced mix all the way up to C#6 and is much more consistent reaching up there. Her mix is also far more resonant than Natalie’s or Vanessa’s. They are all very well rounded vocalists and have comparable supported ranges. Natalie and Vanessa are tied for lows with Sohyang being just behind with, as of 2019, quite consistent support down to F#3 (vs. Eb3). Middle register really is tied for all of them, with Natalie being the weakest here in terms of power and resonance. Sohyang wins upper register both in terms of support and in terms of mix and resonance in a margin similar to Vanessa and Natalie’s low notes. And Sohyang’s head voice is quite a bit better. Vanessa drops support at C#6 and Natalie at D6/Eb6. Sohyang is flawless with her support in head voice up to E6 always and she has one supported F6, similar to Natalie’s D6. Agility goes to Natalie, with Vanessa and Sohyang being well endowed. They all have different strengths and weaknesses. I’d argue Sohyang outcompetes them slightly, but you can easily make an argument for one of the other two. Your stance on her twang is entirely personal opinion. Twang is an excellent technique and allows for Sohyang’s MUCH superior resonance that high up. And she’s not nasal at all whether you think so or not. Vanessa uses the same technique, but with a thinner mix and even more twang. Natalie doesn’t but rarely mixes that high anyway.
Sam seeing Sohyang for the first time! Couldn't click on the thumbnail fast enough! She started as a Contemporary Christian singer at a young age, I understand, and in her early 20s, soon after marrying, was diagnosed with ovarian lesions that were pre-cancerous, mandating surgery that ended her chances of having children. Leaning on her faith, she recovered and continued singing (albeit through bouts of pneumonia and ongoing respiratory and liver problems) and soon all of Asia was bowing to her, in disbelief. But, as if she didn't have enough chest voice/head voice vocal skills, the big transformation in her singing was when she flew to the USA, to train with noted vocal coach Seth Riggs. He stretched her range, and he trained her to develop the mixed voice she just slapped you across the face with. Now, listen to her praise our God in "EVERYONE" (with English subs), written by a Christian Korean composer--it has literally reduced other YT vocal coaches to tears and their comments to just superfluous ditherings. (Quoting "Rebecca [Moore] Vocal Athlete", in tears, after "You Raise Me Up": "Wha-wha what do you want me to say?!) This performance will show you why she's known, throughout Asia (and much of the world), as simply, "The Queen." Have a "wee taste" of your favorite spirits in that cup, for this one, Sam--you'll need it, afterwards, to slow your pulse and speak coherently!
"Arirang Alone", "Lean On", "O Holy Night", "I Have Nothing", "Hug Me", and all song in reality show called The Mask Singer, and so so sooo many other, oh my God, all of them make me goosebumps, the amazing So Hyang! 😍😍😍
not only one of thebest singers in her genres,but she does all of her own arrangements... amazingly gifted, and incredibly disciplined as far as her commitment to her craft.. many of hours hours of practice along with that amazing gift
I grew up with Simon and Garfunkel and Bridge Over Troubled Water is one of my all time favorites. With due respect to the original artists, however, Sohyang’s version is now my favorite! Recommendations? One not mentioned much by others that I absolutely love is Where Are You. Oh Holy Night is the best version I have ever heard of that song. Everyone is a classic. I also like a lot of her gospel music. You simply can’t go wrong with Sohyang!
baspringer Same. Me mum used to force me to sing to their songs such that it traumatised me so much (and those who had to listen to me) that I avoided all their songs thereafter. But Sohyang made me overcome my trauma. Love her. I would listen to her sing the phone book
Among Sohyang's performances, there's no stage to say that it's the best. Because every time she comes out, she goes beyond the top and shows masterpiece performances
It is not often that a performance is so good you are captivated and forget to commentate. Love your silent reaction :) Sohyang does a masterclass for singers.
Absolutely love seeing people’s reactions when they notice what power projects from her.... her performance just gets better the longer you listen, no matter which one you’re watching.
What an adorable reaction! It's insightful that at your first pause, you were already convinced that she is a master of the craft. I was also amused by your first exclamation of "yes" during the run when Sohyang switched from mix to head and then back. I was wondering why and you explained it later in the video. I was laid flat on the floor when I watched this Sohyang video and couldn't get up for days :-) I may not have fully recovered yet three years later. Sohyang began as a gospel singer more than 20 years and remains a devout Christian. It's no accident you heard that strong gospel influence in her rendition. This is my personal favorite performance by her, only because of its emotional context to me. In terms of vocal quality, there are many other equally, some would argue, even better ones. For your consideration, I suggest you give a listen to Sohyang's cover of Arirang Alone in her native language, where she would once again give a stunning performance. Link: ua-cam.com/video/zFyndK9VOCk/v-deo.html
I love it when my ramblings turn out to be grounded by truth. I could hear gospel building the whole time, and that riff into the full o gospel part was such a joy! I'll be reacting to more in future, thank you so much for watching and your suggestion!
Great reaction. Not going to suggest 50 thousand songs like most do.. But from a purely vocal coach point of view. Sohyang - "everyone" is a must-see, every different texture of her voice is shown in this, and its by the vocal suicide for ANY other singer. 7 min of pure vocal masterclass.... yes thats right... 7 minutes.
I have been following Sohyang since I first listen to her singing. Awesome voice, angelic at its best. The best thing she's always doing is hold on to the notes longer which I find so amazing. Hope to see Sohyang in one of her concerts
Great reaction! Very insightful. She has an extensive catalog and it's all good. She is primarily a gospel singer, that why you hear the influence. Arirang Alone (pronounced Ah Dee Dang, there is no R sound in the Korean language) and "Everyone ", are great places to start. "Everyone" is a 7+minute master class in vocal technique and control.
Wow Thank You For Reacting To Quueeenn SOHYANG sir. Next I Have Nothing,Lean On Me,You Raise Me Up 2018,Arirang Alone,Everyone and many more. Shes Amazing, please more Sohyang Reaction
Don't worry. You're not the only one slapping your own face after watching one of her performances. 😁 I've done that way too many times when I watch Sohyang too. As I've seen in other comments, don't miss Sohyang's "Everyone" and "Arirang Alone". For "Arirang Alone", the video on UA-cam is fine to use. But, you may want to use the video in Vimeo with proper English subtitle for "Everyone". Without giving too much spoiler, there's a part in the "Everyone" performance which subtitle is pretty much a must have.
Hi Sam greetings from another Scottish musician here. I stumbled on this fantastic lady a few months ago and believe me bud you aint heard nothing yet. Check out all her other videos they just get better and better. So Hyang IMHO is the best female vocalist I have heard her pitch, note length, range, dynamic's, breathe controll, emotions, resonance she has it all simply amazing. I would suggest either "Everyone" or "Where are you" next" but to be honest whatever you pick for your next reaction you wont be disappointed. Cheers bud happy listening.
Warm welcome to the amazing world of SoHyang... this is from 2015, and now she's at a whole another level of her own... each performance you see will become your new favorite work of her, I'm not even kidding... and most importantly beyond her top vocal skills, she's really unique emotional person, you can feel how she thinks/feels of stuff though her songs, how deep and different ways she sees them which we choose to ignore in this society nowadays.. SoHyang's basically an Angel that walks the earth... Checkout her songs:- Everyone, Arirang Alone, You raise me Up
Sohyang is a beautiful powerhouse and her story so inspiring! arirang alone, where are you, lean on me and everyone are a few to get you started 😅 She also participated in a show called 'King of masked singers' where contestants hide their identity and perform songs whilst either challenge or maintaining the king status and as far as I'm aware, she was the longest running queen. ALL of these songs are a must see 😁
A warm welcome to Sohyang world, the women singing from above. She is a gospel singer from South Korea with impeccable singing abilities and the most beautiful pure personality.
This is just the beginning of what she can do. Most react to this one since most everyone knows this sing. She will NEVER sing a song as it was written. She makes each song as if it was her own. She has INSANE range, way higher than this song. Most of her LIVE performances are SO CLEAN, its as if they were studio recordings. She is a perfectionist. Her first vocal coach was Seth Riggs, which was the coach of Michael Jackson. I am not sure if anyone in Korea coached her, but she has taken care of her voice, and today, at age 42, keeps getting better, when most singers today peak out about 26. I am not a singer, but am a musician, and have heard a lot of singers in my 58 years, and just to my ear, and noticing the technique I can see, and how consistent she is, she is the best female vocalist on the planet for me anyway. There are many great singers, but she is a MASTER Vocalist. Great reaction.
Omg loads more. ‘I have nothing’ ‘everyone’, ‘Lean On Me’, ‘Arirang Alone’, ‘You Raise Me Up’, her king of masks performances including ‘Hug Me’ ‘Dear Love’, ‘Do You Know’ ‘Day Day’ (in which she raps), Mona Lisa’ you need to watch them.
Most of her live performances available in the UA-cam channel were performed in the "Weekly" competition shows in Korea. That means she had only one week to select, rearrange a specific song in her own style and practice herself with the accompanists and background singers. And almost all of the songs have been performed this "perfectly". Can you believe that? Of course, Korean broadcaster's special efforts and skills increase the quality of the show. But those of the singers are incredible.
She is one of a kind. Please react to her version of “Everyone”. It’s a masterpiece. Her backstory is worth looking into, also. She’s not just a special singer. She’s also a really special person.
Ohh my God!! Sohyang 😍😍 Really, she's the best one of my favorite singers.. Please react to another videos by her.. I have nothing Lean on me Everyone Arirang Alone Monalisa You raise me up Thank u
Coach, thank you for the reaction video. I agree that her voice is the voice of an angel I want you to react to the other songs she sang. home Bridge over troubled water Lean on me Arirang alone You raise me up (2018) Oh holy night I have nothing
Kim Sohyang VOCAL range supported (F3-C#6(yes that a highest ever recorded supported note) E/F6 her head voice,..... But her full vocal range is (D#3-C#6A6) I would recommend Dream from "KOMS" Sustained Bflat5 in balanced mix,.. And D6,.... Mona Lisa,.. Multyple Bb5,.. And B5,.... WHERE are you octave jump from B4-B5,...... And a lot more
I highly recommend you to listen to So Hyang's version of You Raise Me Up, Immortal songs 2018. She was very ill and couldn't even speak, but decided to participate the show. ua-cam.com/video/te_L9ofhUt8/v-deo.html Her performance became a masterpiece. So Hyang is one of the best vocalists in the world.
So hyang takes me to church every time. Emotionally impactful singer. I’m 73 years old and let me introduce you and your subscribers to an unheralded little known but world-class female vocalist in her day (from my generation )who had a unique recognizably ethereal voice and a small but worldwide cult following in the 1960s early 70s. Her name was Morgana King and she had a Celestial heavenly angelic voice, unique and mesmerizing. When a song by her came over the radio, within the first 20 seconds you KNEW it was Morgana King and you stopped whatever you were doing to listen in rapt attention. She’ll transport your spirit to another realm. If I may so bold as to suggest you and your audience privately listen to the following 3 songs that will silence your mind and open the floodgate of your heart. They were posted by a “ Morganafan” who added remarkable imagery that greatly enhances the emotional impact of each of these recorded songs. Her voice will transport you and your readership to a state of heavenly bliss. Please UA-cam “ Morgana King Happy Birthday June 2017” ( 4:26 in duration) “ Morgana King Prelude to a kiss” ( 3:49 duration.) “ Morgana King birthday In memoriam” ( 2:44 duration) Morganafan spent months selecting and putting the breathtaking imagery in each song to coordinate with the lyrics. Please react privately. No one will recommend her. She passed away recently but her songs and voice will live on thanks to UA-cam and a small but frenzied devoted fan base. Hope you become a fan. She has over 100 youtube recordings and a few live performances if you care to see what she looked like in her prime. If you enjoy her celestial voice, Please tell others. The young generation should be at least made aware of the passing of a world-class female vocalist . All love from SOBE ( South Beach , Florida where I reside), Al
Oh ! What a beautiful song that was born with her heavenly voice and incredible singing ability ! Sohyang is ranked as a Star with Whitney and Mariah in the world's Top singer category by the American Critics of Music. Thanks for your truly nice reaction ! From the U.S.
Welcome to the Amazing wonderful world of SOHYANG you only tapped the surface strap yourself in it only gets better and better . Tears are allowed. Hahaha . ONE
I've gotten way too addicted to reactions and learning of these crazy singers. Here's some must do ones. Her Arirang Alone is an easy next vid choice of hers(as good or better). Then Lean on me(crazy high mixed). Zhou Shen "memory" or "a time to say goodbye"(he'll probably give you some Dimash, "what the" vibes). Also "doomsday spaceship" duet is simply badass. Lara Fabian "adiagio" "Je suis malade" "You're not from here"....those 3 especially....each from the same live concert. "From Lara with Love" I guess it was called. I have zero doubt she'll blow your mind. Everyone reacting is always amazed they'd not heard of her, often moved. There's even a clip of her singing in.....twelve....languages. She has a 20 second belt in "you're not from here". And of course Marcelito Pomoy if you've somehow not already seen those(just make sure it's the wish bush ones). Anyway, you really need to hear all of those, reaction or not.
Omg yaass!! react to Sohyang- Everyone!!! is her best performance ever in my opinion. But she has lots of amazing ones like I have nothing Lean on me You raise me up Dream Arirang Alone Where are you and more!! it gonna be a long and impressive journey with her!
yeh she cut her teeth on church gospel. She blew Michael Bolton away when he hear her sing Lean On Me. Same thing again, remade the song, gave it new legs.
Spot on analysis Scott! Right now I feel she is one of the Best singers I have ever heard. Check out "Arirang Alone," and "Everyone" In my opinion her best works. For fun try out "Mona Lisa" to see another fun side of her with Astronomical notes at the end. "You raise me up" is also breath taking, Ciao!
Hehe...watching Sohyang for the first time always produces some pretty funny videos. Many thanks for the reaction and analysis. You can literally pick any of her performances and you will be blown away. She's been doing this for more than 20 years now, and is singing to comfort and console people, not for fame or money. I'd personally check out her cover of "Arirang Alone" next (it's a cover of a famous folk song talking about the re-unification of the Korean peninsula and the end of the civil war there) . Sohyang has some truly immaculate english performances, but seeing her emote in her native language is a sight of its own. Keep the goodness coming, cheers..C:
There is no best performance. Every performance by her is the best you've ever seen in your life.
There's not many singers i'd believe that for- but for Sohyang I can believe it 100%
Yaaassss!
She perfectly killed it🎤😇🤗🤷🏽♀️
Wait til u get to her masked singer performances! Cheers!
Indeed!
She is so underrated, wish she could perform in world stage just like Dimash.
It's because it's her choice not to be known. She chose to use her voice to comfort people than gain fame and recognition.💕
I just love it when people meet the best female vocalist in the world.. The faces...
Sohyang is a world-class singer. Too bad many people around the world don't know her.
최병삼 I’m saying...... that needs to change.. like why are we not hearing about sohyang the way we are hear about Beyoncé or Whitney
renzo torres
Cuz American racists media. If you don't sing in English you are irrelevant.
There are many singers in the world who are great.
Its our fault as well as fans who continues to support American shit media.

Where did I say English was a race?
I have heard her many times and i´m not impressed.
Roland Gustafsson if you're not impressed then why have you watched/listened to her videos many times? Get your facts straight you hypocrite.
Sohyang is korean best soul mom she is my life 소향님은 나의 지친 영혼을 치유해주는 원동력입니다

Finally the vocal queen is found. Your reaction is very interesting-keep going. Please watch her performances with "Everyone" and "Lean on me"
She is very talented and an amazing voice
Every performance is a series of vocal explosion and emotional eruption. Sohyang is a great vocalist and storyteller at the same time.

Great~~
Sohyang is a beautiful powerhouse and her story so inspiring! arirang alone, where are you, lean on me and everyone are a few to get you started 😅
She also participated in a show called 'King of masked singers' where contestants hide their identity and perform songs whilst either challenge or maintaining the king status and as far as I'm aware, she was the longest running queen. ALL of these songs are a must see 😁
A warm welcome to Sohyang world, the women singing from above. She is a gospel singer from South Korea with impeccable singing abilities and the most beautiful pure personality.
This is just the beginning of what she can do. Most react to this one since most everyone knows this sing. She will NEVER sing a song as it was written. She makes each song as if it was her own. She has INSANE range, way higher than this song. Most of her LIVE performances are SO CLEAN, its as if they were studio recordings. She is a perfectionist. Her first vocal coach was Seth Riggs, which was the coach of Michael Jackson. I am not sure if anyone in Korea coached her, but she has taken care of her voice, and today, at age 42, keeps getting better, when most singers today peak out about 26. I am not a singer, but am a musician, and have heard a lot of singers in my 58 years, and just to my ear, and noticing the technique I can see, and how consistent she is, she is the best female vocalist on the planet for me anyway. There are many great singers, but she is a MASTER Vocalist. Great reaction.
The best version!!!
Welcom to Sohyang World.
Thanks your reaction.
Plz. react
arirang alone
lean on me
dream
everyone
I have nothing
Nah, her songs, HOME and Breathe are the best and are supremely exceptional
Omg loads more. ‘I have nothing’ ‘everyone’, ‘Lean On Me’, ‘Arirang Alone’, ‘You Raise Me Up’, her king of masks performances including ‘Hug Me’ ‘Dear Love’, ‘Do You Know’ ‘Day Day’ (in which she raps), Mona Lisa’ you need to watch them.
Most of her live performances available in the UA-cam channel were performed in the "Weekly" competition shows in Korea. That means she had only one week to select, rearrange a specific song in her own style and practice herself with the accompanists and background singers.
And almost all of the songs have been performed this "perfectly".
Can you believe that?
Of course, Korean broadcaster's special efforts and skills increase the quality of the show. But those of the singers are incredible.
소향😆🤯
So she would be a perfect person to have a duet with Dimash Kudaibergen :D
She is one of a kind. Please react to her version of “Everyone”. It’s a masterpiece. Her backstory is worth looking into, also. She’s not just a special singer. She’s also a really special person.
More So Hyang reaction please 😍
You will appreciate "Hug me" and "Dream" and "breathe" from masked singer.. Everyone and Where are You are legendary live performances... enjoy..

You raise me up (2018)
Oh holy night

Kim Sohyang VOCAL range supported (F3-C#6(yes that a highest ever recorded supported note) E/F6 her head voice,..... But her full vocal range is (D#3-C#6A6) I would recommend Dream from "KOMS" Sustained Bflat5 in balanced mix,.. And D6,.... Mona Lisa,.. Multyple Bb5,.. And B5,.... WHERE are you octave jump from B4-B5,...... And a lot more
I highly recommend you to listen to So Hyang's version of You Raise Me Up, Immortal songs 2018. She was very ill and couldn't even speak, but decided to participate the show. ua-cam.com/video/te_L9ofhUt8/v-deo.html Her performance became a masterpiece.
So Hyang is one of the best vocalists in the world.
이분 리액션 좋으시네 담편도기대할게요 구독 좋아요 누루고 갑니다
More Sohyang pls💕 Queen👑
She’s amazing l. Her vocals are something else
So hyang takes me to church every time. Emotionally impactful singer.
I’m 73 years old and let me introduce you and your subscribers to an unheralded little known but world-class female vocalist in her day (from my generation )who had a unique recognizably ethereal voice and a small but worldwide cult following in the 1960s early 70s. Her name was Morgana King and she had a Celestial heavenly angelic voice, unique and mesmerizing. When a song by her came over the radio, within the first 20 seconds you KNEW it was Morgana King and you stopped whatever you were doing to listen in rapt attention. She’ll transport your spirit to another realm.
If I may so bold as to suggest you and your audience privately listen to the following 3 songs that will silence your mind and open the floodgate of your heart. They were posted by a “ Morganafan” who added remarkable imagery that greatly enhances the emotional impact of each of these recorded songs. Her voice will transport you and your readership to a state of heavenly bliss.
Please UA-cam
“ Morgana King Happy Birthday June 2017” ( 4:26 in duration)
“ Morgana King Prelude to a kiss” ( 3:49 duration.)
“ Morgana King birthday In memoriam” ( 2:44 duration)
Morganafan spent months selecting and putting the breathtaking imagery in each song to coordinate with the lyrics.
Please react privately. No one will recommend her. She passed away recently but her songs and voice will live on thanks to UA-cam and a small but frenzied devoted fan base.
Hope you become a fan. She has over 100 youtube recordings and a few live performances if you care to see what she looked like in her prime.
If you enjoy her celestial voice, Please tell others. The young generation should be at least made aware of the passing of a world-class female vocalist .
All love from SOBE ( South Beach , Florida where I reside),
Al
Please react Dimash in Love is like dream is amazing ❣
Thank you so much for reacting to Sohyang! I want more! :)
Oh ! What a beautiful song that was born with her heavenly voice and incredible singing ability ! Sohyang is ranked as a Star with Whitney and Mariah in the world's Top singer category by the American Critics of Music. Thanks for your truly nice reaction ! From the U.S.
Welcome to the Amazing wonderful world of SOHYANG you only tapped the surface strap yourself in it only gets better and better . Tears are allowed. Hahaha . ONE
I've gotten way too addicted to reactions and learning of these crazy singers. Here's some must do ones.
Her Arirang Alone is an easy next vid choice of hers(as good or better). Then Lean on me(crazy high mixed).
Zhou Shen "memory" or "a time to say goodbye"(he'll probably give you some Dimash, "what the" vibes). Also "doomsday spaceship" duet is simply badass.
Lara Fabian "adiagio" "Je suis malade" "You're not from here"....those 3 especially....each from the same live concert. "From Lara with Love" I guess it was called. I have zero doubt she'll blow your mind. Everyone reacting is always amazed they'd not heard of her, often moved. There's even a clip of her singing in.....twelve....languages. She has a 20 second belt in "you're not from here".
And of course Marcelito Pomoy if you've somehow not already seen those(just make sure it's the wish bush ones).
Anyway, you really need to hear all of those, reaction or not.
Check out her performances from "King of Masked Singer' TV show. All are unique and offer different flavors of her excellence.
코치님 많이 놀라셨나봐요... : )
리액션 감사합니다.
thanx~♡
pls react more about Sohyang~~~
Omg yaass!! react to Sohyang- Everyone!!! is her best performance ever in my opinion.
But she has lots of amazing ones like
I have nothing
Lean on me
You raise me up
Dream
Arirang Alone
Where are you
and more!! it gonna be a long and impressive journey with her!
yeh she cut her teeth on church gospel. She blew Michael Bolton away when he hear her sing Lean On Me. Same thing again, remade the song, gave it new legs.
I'm shocked this is your first time reacting to her. Took you long enough. Lol.
Please react to Arirang alone by So Hyang!! If you likes bridge over troubled waters you will love Arirang Alone!!
Spot on analysis Scott! Right now I feel she is one of the Best singers I have ever heard. Check out "Arirang Alone," and "Everyone" In my opinion her best works. For fun try out "Mona Lisa" to see another fun side of her with Astronomical notes at the end. "You raise me up" is also breath taking, Ciao!
The best one might be "everyone", "lean on me" "raise me up" and "mona lisa"
Sohyang 그대는 어디에
Sohyang 사랑아
Sohyang 가슴만 알죠
Sohyang 안아줘
Please
Yaaasss, please more Sohyang!!

이젠 외국인들도 소향을 전파하네 ㄷㄷ
우리나라에선 호불호로 갈리지만 소향찐팬들은 거의가 외국인같아요 소향의 보컬를 더전문적으로 아는것도 외국인들..
Ooo my girl SoHyang.
Her singing giving people eargasm😳😲♥️♥️
....hi 👋👋
Lean On Me is one of my favorites. Incredible vocals.
이형님 잘생겼어~ 톰하디도 살짝 닮은거 같기도하고 ㅎㅎ 영상보고 ㄴㅇㄹㄴㅇ론ㅇ러ㅏ 하는거 귀엽네 형~
Hehe...watching Sohyang for the first time always produces some pretty funny videos. Many thanks for the reaction and analysis.
You can literally pick any of her performances and you will be blown away. She's been doing this for more than 20 years now, and is singing to comfort and console people, not for fame or money.
I'd personally check out her cover of "Arirang Alone" next (it's a cover of a famous folk song talking about the re-unification of the Korean peninsula and the end of the civil war there) . Sohyang has some truly immaculate english performances, but seeing her emote in her native language is a sight of its own. Keep the goodness coming, cheers..C:
Welcome to SOHYANG world
