    Welcome to Forestella, nicknamed the Kings of Harmony. As you correctly guessed, they are practice freaks, spending almost every day rehearsing for long hours. They are also tightly knit as members of a family. From left to right, Ko Woorim (family name first, in the Korean way), base, opera singer, youngest of the group, currently absent because he has to go fulfill his military service, second from left, Kang Hyungho, rock singer, biochemist, always sang in an amateur band, but without any formal training, he is the most versatile of the group, covering a huge range; second from the right, Cho Mingyu, opera singer, tenor, leader of the group. Wanted to make career of opera singing, but was told he wouldn’t make it because of the peculiarity of his voice, entered the Phantom Singer competition in a depressed mood, but went on to put this group together; first on the right, Bae Dohoon, who made a career as a musical actor, beautiful emotional baritone/tenor voice. They have so many beautiful covers and originals ; I suggest “Time in a bottle”, “Parla piu piano”, El Amore non si sai”, “inner universe”, “Legends never die”, “Bohemian Rhapsody” and “Shape of you” for covers. “save our lives”, “For life”, “Utopia”, “White Nights” and “Snow Globe” for their originals.

    Forestella has a "classical background" but I don't know of any group that masters "CROSSOVER" as brilliantly as these guys. No matter what song they choose, they hit every vibe, every genre, every style exactly and offer only the best. Technically highly skilled, they create the most incredible harmonies and sometimes sound like a 40-person choir. They are very creative, experimental and ambitious and thanks to their very flexible voices and different musical backgrounds, they adapt perfectly to any genre and style.
    They mostly work with music directors, but they have always had a big influence on their music. Lately the vocal arrangements have often been done by themself - directed by Kang Hyung Ho (rock/soprano) who is also a first-class singer/songwriter and composed the latest amazing original "Snow-Globe". Also highly recommended their original "Save Our Lives" a musical masterpiece or their latest incredible cover of "The Show Must Go On" uploaded a few days ago. They have once again outdone themself here.

    Thank you for your reaction!
    This is Forestella, a crossover group from Korea. They are the winner group in the Phantom Singer 2; an audition show to form a crossover quartet like il Divo from Korea. However, as they have their own unique style, they won't be Korean il Divo, they will be the Forestella of the world!
    Forestella has sung great covers like Bohemian Rhapsody, We are the Champions, Hijo de la Luna, Heal the World, the Sound of Silence, My Favorite Things, Champions (mash-up of Champs league theme and Champions by Jo SuMi), Nella Fantasia, Scarborough Fair..etc etc. At the Phantom Singer All Stars they sang Time in a bottle, Je suis Malade as well. Shape of You in English, Spanish and African Zulu is fantastic indeed.
    You can even see them dancing singing Smooth Criminal as well! If you are a LOL fan, check their Warriors and Legends Never Die!
    And they broke the record of their own with EXO's MAMA winning 6 trophies for King of Kings in a row in Immortal Songs. Check their magnificent performances of Bad Romance and Lazenca Save us, Unwritten Legend and Despacito too.
    Forestella is a quartet of Ko WooRim (a classical bass, intense abyss-deep low tone), Kang HyungHo (an ex-research chemist, rock vocalist with soprano head voice falsetto), Cho MinGyu (a classical leggiero tenor, light boyish crystal clear tone) and Bae DooHoon (a musical actor, 159th King of the Masked Singers, emotion convincer good at R&B, Pop). Each has distinct tone and style of singing, different charm. But all of them are famous as practice-freaks. They meet almost everyday to practice together. In a radio program the leader (Cho MinGyu) revealed it would be around 20 days they didn't meet in the year. Bae DooHoon also said they don't meet 1~2 days in a month. I think this explains how their perfection can be possible.
    Don't miss their m/v for Save our lives! It's full of wonders. Each of them is representing an element in the m/v. They sang Fake Love of BTS and their song Save our lives at MAMA. Their majestic original song Utopia is a must check.
    Now I see they are creating a genre called Forestella. They showed "What crossover is" with Save our lives and showing "What Forestella does" with Utopia! Enjoy their diversity with their original song White Night too.
    Forestella released their single KOOL in Kpop style to fulfill their promise of Kpop cover dance for exceeding 990K views of Save our lives m/v. They struggled to choose a Kpop to dance, became to think making their own Kpop song with dance! As crossover works for all genres, Forestella did a great job for their fans.
    Take a listening to Chosen One, an EPIC OST of the Sword of Aramun.
    Forestella released fantastic original Snow Globe m/v! Kang HyungHo composed it, and all the Forestella members contributed in arranging it.
    Another original Chagall's Dream brings back the moment of Forestella Festival in my heart, I feel like in my lucid dream seeing Forestella altogether in the future in advance.

    ¡Gracias! Welcome to Forestella World! About the members: WooRim is the youngest and he is the base; Bae Doo Hoon is the baritone and is a musically trained actor; Cho Min-gyu is the brain behind the group's formation during the phatom singer 2 contest and he is the Tenor; finally the contratenor is Kang Hyung-ho, also known as Pitta, and he is an amateur singer with no formal training in music, he is a chemical engineer. They have an amazing cover repertoire: Bohemian Rhapsody, Time in a Bottle, Hijo de la Luna, Legends Never die and Shape of you are my favorites.
    The group has its own compositions: Save our lives, Utopia, Snow glove, Chagall's dream and Kool (the last one is more Kpop style). Finally, PITTAhas a great vocal range which she has demonstrated in his solo performances singing "The Phantom of the Opera" and "Wave of the sea".

    They do their own arrangements for vocals, the music is usually arranged for them. The vocal arrangements are mostly headed by the countertenor, Kang Hyungho, who is the only one in the group without a formal musical background. He used to be a lead chemist at a big corp before he decided he wanted to fulfill his dream as a singer. :) he also composes music for his side project, PITTA, you can check out a great rock piece from him called "Haemu" which is a soundtrack of a recently released Korean movie. :)

      @user-xt4hg6vx6r 11 місяців тому +4

      There is some misinformation above. Forestella is highly contributing to the arrangement, but the only time they officially became an arranger was when they were co-arranged by Snow Globe, which was released in November last year. There are separate professional arranger for all the other songs. They once interviewed that four members work by meeting to decide the direction of arrangement they want and deliver it to the arranger. Given the information released in the past (communication with the 'Inner Universe' dance team and the number of requests for revision in the 'Son of Moon' lyrics), I expect that the arrangement will also be very specific. Also, fans believe that they take the initiative in creating the song because they releases an outstanding song every time despite the difference arranger in each song. Apart from that, they gradually made their name in vocal composition, vocal directing, and compose, lyrics.
      Originally, the TV contest program called Phantom Singer, in which they became a team, was a form in which participants selected songs through solo, duet, trio, and quartet competitions, and arranged by the music director when the vocal line was formed appropriately. Since then, 'Cho Min-gyu' has been the leader and graduated from graduate school with a classical major, so it is highly predictable that he would have taken the initiative when deciding on the vocal line. ('Ko Woo-rim' is a college student majoring in classical music, 'Kang Hyung-ho' is an amateur rocker, and 'Bae Doo-hoon' is a musical actor and singer) Since their debut, the members have been leading the team alternately, and Kang Hyung-ho composed and released Forestella's song in November last year (Snow Globe)

    They work with a music director, but ideas mainly come from Forestella members.
    In particular, rock singer Kang Hyung-ho is good at writing lyrics, composing, arranging, directing, and producing.
    He composed and arranged Forestala's original songs himself.
    He is very talented and a genius not only as a vocalist but also as a musician.
    He is very dedicated to creating Forestella's music, providing great ideas, directing vocals, and producing.
    He also forms a rock band named pitta and works as a singer-songwriter.
    I recommend his songs ‘Be Free’, ‘Wave on the Sea (해무)’ and his cover song ‘Phantom of the Opera’.

    Thank you for reacting to FORESTELLA. They are definitely some of the best the music industry currently has to offer. Ko WooRim (classical basso-profundo) and Cho MinGyu (tenor leggiero and 3 year member of the Metropolitan Opera Seoul) - both Master of Vocal Music. Bae DooHoon Baritenor (musical actor) and Kang Kyung Ho (chemical engineer and professional singer since the group was founded in 2018) - rock vocalist with own band. He calls himself "Teprano" because he has an extremely well-trained crystal clear, angelic head voice. When he sings in very high registers, he too is indistinguishable from beautiful female voices ua-cam.com/video/7H9shoNkApc/v-deo.html ( short "Lascia ch'io pianga"). You should definitely react to FORESTELLA'S NELLA FANTASIA. One of the most beautiful versions ever.

    Forestella has grand tribute for Queen, MJ and Simon & Garfunkel, big names, and nailed every song they dared to sing. IMO Queen is their most inspiring role model, so please check Forestella Queen's best songs compilation video on KBS Jeonju channel.
    But, if you wanna check their language variety, here's the recommendation- Je suis malade (French), Parla piu piano, Nella Fantasia (Italian), Despacito (Spanish), Inner Universe (Russian, English, and Latin), Shape of you (English, Spanish and African Zulu), etc.
    I'm so curious about your review on their original songs like Save our lives and UTOPIA.

I discovered Pentatonix 2018-19 time frame, then Dimash (I was hooked) then Forestella, so Dimash and Forestella are absolutely my favorites, I do love Mitch’s voice, and enjoy many of their Christmas songs. Forestella is extremely versatile, which you have already predicted, they started on competition programs, which they won, and have multiple originals. Their arrangements of songs are just incredible, a good example is Bad Romance, a song so many of us know well, I will really enjoy watching your reaction to their interpretation ❤.

    Wonderful reaction and analysis once again. Part of the reason is your facial expressions and I can see how much you admire the artists and how much you love music in and of itself.

    Great performance and as always interesting explanations from you. I like to listen to your „confusing thoughts“ - it brings my attention to different parts of the song and the singers which I normally would not realize.
    As I mentioned in another comment my first language is German and I don’t know all the English terms but your explanations are so accurate I find it easy to follow.
    I learned as a child to play piano, flute and violin, but well life came in between and I didn’t play much later on but my interest in music is still there and combined with my interest in languages your reaction videos are perfect for me.
    Thank you for your work.

    Your breakdown was fantastic. I really enjoyed it. Pointing out the keys and chords and immediately seeing how they duo up (something they do a lot).
    Oh man... are you in for a treat. Welcome to Forestella, where the harmonies are tight and genres are a thing of the past. They have done everything from their original K-pop song, "Kool", to traditional classical crossover music, to their new rock waltz, "Snow Globe" (which seems to be a fanciful retelling of them coming together as a team).
    They were competitors on a survival elimination show called "Phantom Singer" whose goal was to create a crossover vocal quartet like II Divo. They compete 1 v. 1, then the survivors move on to duos, then trios... and finally the Quartet. Mingyu (that first singer) won every round and that gave him the chance to recruit the others. They are lightning in a bottle. The show has turned out several great quartets, but none have the widespread appeal of Forestella.
    Left to right
    Woorim - Classically trained Basso Profundo
    Hyungho - Rock Countertenor (zero training until he joined the group)
    Mingyu - Leader and Classically trained Leggero Tenor (he and Woorim went to the same school)
    Doohoon - Musical Theater Actor, Baritenor
    They continue to enter competitions (this is from Immortal Songs where they have won a record breaking 6 consecutive times), put out albums and even toured N. America last year. They intend to keep performing, but they are a man down for the next 17 months as their Bass, Woorim, completes his Mandatory Military service.
    Outstanding live performances to check out, Lazenca, Save Us (From the Space Rock Opera), Legends Never Die, Hijo de la Luna, Bohemian Rhapsody, Time in a Bottle, Ju Suis Malade, Gondre Mandre (Dead Drunk), and Despacito. For an extra treat, check out Kang Hyungho's"Phantom of the Opera" audition (he sings both The Phantom and Christine's parts), or Cho Mingyu's "Balada de la Trompeta".

      @@purpleviolet667 he didn't formally study any music. He has experience, that's not the same as being trained. That's why he was looking for the expensive private tutor type that he got with Mingyu. No one is saying he never sang a note before in his life, he just never had a single bit of professional training and was the least experienced singer in season 2 finals. That shows how amazingly talented he is and he's made some unbelievable progress over the years.

      @@CrzyJen The 'expensive tutor' he was talking about was not Cho Min-gyu. He said it was a clever manipulation of the video by the broadcasting station. The three members he wanted when he formed the group are all different from the current members. This was known last year. Of course, they are all very close to each other now. He always said that the broadcasting station created the members.

      @@purpleviolet667 You literally saw them interviewing with the producers before final teams were formed. We've known they were created by the network from day that aired. The producers took into account who they put on their ballots, but ultimately had to create 3 relatively balanced teams out of the final 12. I'm confused, did you think they literally got whomever they wrote down?
      Again, Hyungho had zero formal training before he joined. Not sure why that upsets you, but clearly it has for you to keep ranting and going out of your way to not catch the humor. Wishing you the best, no matter how upset you are over nothing! :)

    You're happy to hear it, your expression says it all. Your eyebrows are raised in the middle, your eyes are wiggling, and the corners of your mouth are turning up. I think Forestella's songs are better appreciated by those with open ears.
    What's really great about Forestella is that every song has this quality. It transcends genres. Pop, classical, Latin, symphonic metal, rock, folk, even salsa.....
    Whichever song you choose, you won't regret it, keep up the good work.

    Just found you because of this reaction. Forestella is amazing. They are so good at what they do and I hope that they continue for years. I saw that you were gifted with a TON of information from other comments about Forestella, so I won't repeat it. :)
    But I do recommend, Lazenca Save Us, Bad Romance, Time in A Bottle, Kool, Save Our Lives, Utopia, and Snow Globe. They are all such amazing songs and help to really show the range of the group. If you take a look at Cho Mingyu's personal channel, he has some solo songs, as does Kang Hyungho, and Ko Woorim.
    I also checked out your other videos and saw that you did reactions to Pentatonix and Home Free. If you don't already have them on your radar, may I respectfully suggest checking out VoicePlay as well? They are another a capella group (and close friends with Home Free). They did a cover of Imagine Dragon's Warriors, which is fantastic, and a cover of Metallica's Nothing Else Matters, which is amazing. They also do a lot of Disney covers, such as one of their recent ones, Hellfire from Hunchback of Notre Dame, or their Little Mermaid Medley.
    I look forward to seeing more reactions from you!
