I've never, never, never heard a singer who can take her mixed voice so high. I have no idea -- no idea -- how Sohyang can do this without ruining her voice. She is simply from another planet. And everything perfectly pitched. It's truly unreal to listen to her.
Her technique is so immaculate it helped preserve her voice to be consistent from late 20s to late 40s
She was like, I used to sing mainly with breath supports. So she was believed to be deeply in despair of quitting career especially having troubles with her lungs. According to her more recent remarks, what she used to do easily couldnt be executed any longer back then, which must have kept letting her down for 3 years in the midst of 2010s.

Wunderbaar darling ROBIN DENNIS HOAL
sohyang doesnt need the gimmick whisle notes to reach the notes just her beautiful head voice thats how you sing this beautiful song
Coach, as you probably know, there is NO genre of music that she cannot perform, but, the fact is that there is no musical composition ever written that her sheer genius doesn't transform into a Classic. Michael Bolton is right. She is a Virtuoso. She could do that to music even if she could not sing - but, thank God, He gave her a voice like a Stradivarius to make certain that she could reveal her genius to us first-hand.
Cheers.
Sohyang is known as the Queen of mix and for good reason. I have heard a couple of vocal coaches say she has the highest belt of any female singer alive and none were quite sure where her register would end.
All of her performances are legendary
Sohyang did a sustained C6 mixed belt with vibrato at a live concert with Kirk Franklin. So A5 is well within her range. Her ability to sing in all her registers on a single note is what makes her truly a gifted vocalist.
Love your reaction. It's only fitting, in my view, to have Sohyang close out the O Holy Night special. Sohyang's rendition is so suiting for the purpose of the song - tender yet solemn in the first verse and the second just soars for the majestic finale in praise of the divinity brought by the new born king.
She is untouchable!!!!
I bet you do not know it, but in many performances of this same song since her Immortal Song 2 performance, she knelt down in worship as she belted the 2nd half of the song to the end.
You can find quite a number of this in youtube.
Queen Sohyang❤
Nothing substitute SoHyang's voice!!!!
incredible world class inside and out what a voice she is a one off love from the uk
Welcome back to The Forces of Heaven from Sohyang 🙏
Thanks from Perú 😊
She is the best female vocalist in this world. Michael Bolton had a concert in Korea 2023, and she sang "Oh Holy Night" there, which was so powerful. ua-cam.com/video/XCRT1qrNdIE/v-deo.html
Another is "Upon this Rock," which she sang at the concert. ua-cam.com/video/m9gSi3yk6g0/v-deo.html
You have to listen to her best performance "everyone"

Beautiful rendition & a great reaction as always. Have you seen all my posts asking for your reaction to Amira? If not, here goes again. You’ve done Angelina, Emma, Dimash, Sonyang & others, but you’re missing out on this world class young Soprano.
Amira, just like Emma, sang with Andre Rieu & has had over 70 million views. Details are; Amira Willighagen singing O Mio Babbino Caro with Andre Rieu at age 10. This is just one of a huge quantity of videos produced over the last 10 years.
Amira is now 20 & doing her Batchelor of Music at Pretoria University.
A thumbs up or something would at least indicate that you’ve seen this post.
You say you love a soprano voice, well this is perfect for you, & believe me, she WILL knock your socks off.
Cheers Graeme

😍😍😍😍😍💕💕💕
I enjoyed your video. Sohyang is back. The title is Til you love me again. This is her new song. Please listen to her song and make a reaction video.
🎉🎉❤
We all wonder if Sohyang is human or from another planet. Current odds are that she’s from another planet, with an outside chance she’s actually an angel come down from Heaven. 😇 We have never heard anyone sing like her, or be able to hold an audience in the palm of her hand until she lets them go. Her voice is, as one person described it, like liquid gold. Perfection in clarity and pitch, and she doesn’t fade in the upper octaves, which is startling when you hear her hit those 5th and 6th octave notes with such _POWER_ it actually gives everyone goose bumps-and makes us bald guys’ hair stand on end! As she says, her voice “is from God.” She does all the musical arrangements herself, with the input of her in-law family and musical assistants, teaches vocal technique at a South Korean university and speaks four languages: Korean, English, Vietnamese and Chinese, as well as reading French and Greek!
Let me catch my breath. OK.
She is a cancer survivor from uterine cancer at the age of 20, just after getting married, and states very plainly that God saved her life due to the prayers of her church. But this left her without the ability to have children so she decided to dedicate her life to being a Contemporary Christian Gospel singer and has refused recording contracts from the biggest corporations in the world. She only wants to sing for charities, churches and while doing missionary work, to strengthen those suffering through difficult times. David Foster, Josh Groban, Michael Bolton and others have all eagerly worked with her when they were in Asia.
She contracted hepatitis B from a blood transfusion during her cancer surgery and it clings to her to this day. Because of this she is prone to catching pneumonia but has sang perfectly while suffering from it in her live performance of “You Raise Me Up” before Shane Filan of Westlife on South Korean TV: ua-cam.com/video/te_L9ofhUt8/v-deo.html She has asked those who love her singing to pray that God keep pneumonia away from her, she has suffered from it on so many occasions. Imagine how she must feel with this coronavirus floating around everywhere!
She just turned 46 on April 5, 2024, though in Korean culture she would be 47 because you are deemed to be one year old when you are born. She was about 37 when she sang this version of “Arirang Alone,” their unofficial national anthem based on a 600 year old folk song expressing their desire to reunify north and south: vimeo.com/308253527
While being sick with pneumonia eight times from 2016 through to 2020, and considering giving up singing altogether, she decided to enter a televised singing contest called “King of the Masked Singers” in 2017 and won six consecutive times, which has catapulted her into international attention from the performances being posted on UA-cam.
Whitney Houston’s former manager saw her on UA-cam and showed her to Oprah Winfrey, who brought her to David Foster’s attention. Foster then contacted Sohyang and went to Japan in order to have her perform eight concerts with him at Tokyo’s famous Blue Note Club in late-2018. For those who don't know, David Foster was Whitney Houston's producer for some of her songs, wrote "I Have Nothing," her most iconic song, and is the most famous and influential music producer in the world. He places Sohyang right beside Whitney and the rest of the top tier divas.
Here is the interview where Sohyang related the events: ua-cam.com/video/EqeE_1nP-Kk/v-deo.html (Be sure to turn on English subtitles.)
Here is the version of “I Have Nothing” Oprah, David Foster, Whitney's former manager and the rest watched on UA-cam: ua-cam.com/video/T4UyIMkdy4M/v-deo.html
She preceded it with this blockbuster: vimeo.com/312061203
She could be an international Super Star if she wanted to be but has decided that it would ruin her spiritually, quoting Proverbs 16:25 “There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death.”
In a South Korean television interview Sohyang conceded that she struggled with her desire for fame for a number of years, going into the basement in her home numerous times and closing the door so she could complain vehemently to God that He was holding her back from becoming famous due to her health problems and other unforeseeable events. Then she later saw a Korean TV drama where the talented daughter of a very successful businessman was positive she would take over when her father retired. But he left the management of the company to a woman she hated, so she had a fit and lay kicking and screaming on the floor. Sohyang says she saw herself in that young woman and then understood that God was keeping her from developing self-destructive character by withholding international celebrity status from her. ua-cam.com/video/rl-jX9kBsEs/v-deo.html (Again, turn on English subtitles.)
So as a consequence she does not pursue fame or fortune and actually has no interactive social media presence whatsoever.
What can one say about such a person? She is a literal Wonder Woman! And we need about a billion more just like her! And whether Sohyang likes it or not, fame has found her, run her over and then backed up and run over her again!
On Oct. 5, 2020, it was revealed that Sohyang turned down _yet another_ contract offer, this time from Sony Music US. www.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20200921000995
“Debuting in [the] US was my utmost goal for the past 20 years. But when I got a call from the US agency, I politely rejected, as I realized that what I wanted most was not becoming famous,” she said.
“I think singers are very susceptible to arrogance, especially when they hear the screaming from crowds on stage. It can make you feel like as if you’ve become God.”
“And I’m perfectly okay with sharing my music via UA-cam, which can reach tens of millions of people all over the world without making me feel stuck up. Maybe that’s why I was born in this era.”
Sohyang is just the most amazing singer, Christian and human being. She is beautiful both inside and out, and so humble and genuine, with a stage charisma, facial expressions and smile that is off the charts.
In Korean dictionaries 소향--Sohyang--has several meanings.
• First is a type of Korean traditional music.
• Second is to burn incense on a burner.
• Third is to go toward.
But these meanings are rarely used today. Sohyang is also the name of a heroine in a Korean traditional novel. Yet for the definitive answer Sohyang has stated in an interview that her name means "enjoy the light." Her grandmother named her.

And this version of her singing “Oh Holy Night”: vimeo.com/322716334
Here she performs “Lean On Me” before Michael Bolton, who called her a vocal “virtuoso” after her performance: ua-cam.com/video/GvsgCllcNPE/v-deo.html
Wait until you see her duet of David Foster's “The Prayer” with Jeong Ui Geu: ua-cam.com/video/rte-q3kunp8/v-deo.html
Her performance of "Fate" in Korean requires no translation: vimeo.com/198161448
And finally “Will You Be There”: ua-cam.com/video/nBdSpexUxik/v-deo.html
Here’s an English language interview with her that I’m sure you will enjoy: ua-cam.com/video/N2u_pmoWxj8/v-deo.html Her English is perfect when she sings and almost perfect when she is doing interviews.
OK, I’ll stop gushing now.
Well, one more gush. In an interview with a Turkish music producer Sohyang's assistants revealed (a bit to her chagrin, as she is a self-effacing person) that she can hit Eb7 and D7 in practise. However, she never goes above the 6th octave in performances. Since she starts at D3 that is more than a 4 octave range ... so how about them apples???! Here it is: ua-cam.com/video/VnPAkryrygQ/v-deo.html I know, bananas isn’t it?
Oh, I just remembered, she is also a published fantasy novelist and has a theological treatise on the Book of Revelation in print. In addition, she is a very good stage actress, which she proved by playing Julie Andrews’ part in the South Korean stage production of “The Sound of Music.” Moreover, she sang the “Moana” part in the Korean version of the Disney film, does the musical vocals for many South Korean television dramas, and is a talented artist and cartoonist. She taught herself English by watching Disney's "The Little Mermaid" 'about one hundred times' when she was just a kid, speaks English with a _perfect_ North American accent and has an outgoing and bubbly personality.
She can also play the piano and guitar. Is there anything this genius level woman can’t do? Ironically, Sohyang stated in another interview that both she and her in-law family were surprised to discover that she could sing so excellently!
Though she is maybe 5' 4" and only about 100 pounds, Sohyang simply transcends the thresholds of music and takes you there with her. She becomes the song when she sings it, and then re-emerges when she is done. An experience like no other. I don’t know what else to say. I’ve spent _entire days_ listening to her, and shed more than a few tears of joy along the way.
I really must also compliment the choir, orchestra and audio/video production people Sohyang works with. They are all top notch from what I can see and hear, and that is important to note as these are _essential_ elements of any great musical production. The Korean people are easily as talented as anyone else.
As you can see, I am a shameless fan. 😉
A good reactor knows when to pause the video in order to comment.
Fall on your knees, O hear the angel voices...
Move over Mariah, this song belongs to So Hyang.
소향의 이 노래를 수백번도 더 들어도 들을때마다 눈시울이 적셔 진답니다...그녀의 진심이 하늘에 전해짐을 느낄수 있었어요...온 정성을 다한 무대였습니다 반응 감사합니다
갑자기 홀리나잇 경연 ㅎ 모리셋 어쩌라구
you are so cute~~
Coach please watch OUR QUEEN REGINE VELASQUEZ her performance of WHAT KIND OF FOOL I AM
서향은 평가의 대상이 아닙니다, 그냥 즐기며 감상 하시면 됩니다~🥰
I get it; great voice, and many people like this style of singing. It's not for me, though. I get bored with this style of music and tune out quickly. Also, was it just me, or did parts of her singing not match what the music was doing; noticed the same with Morissette's version. I listened to both versions, admit that they (Sohyang & Morissette) both have great voices and good technique, and can now safely ignore any other reactions to these songs without thinking I missed anything. Your first reaction (for this week) to a cover of this song by Dan Vasc, on the other hand, I can listen to over and over again. He gave the song a new and refreshing sound and vibe.
No just No why oh why can't these singers just stand up and sing the bloody song without all the bells and whistles. This is exactly how you would imagine Mariah Carey singing it. Sorry but it's awful and not needed on a christmas song.
