![First Time Hearing: Forestella - Bohemian Rhapsody[LIVE] [REACTION]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/kmNH2nKid0U/mqdefault.jpg)
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.
As the latest, Forestella sang Stuck in a Maze as a quartet. Don't miss it!
Now 3 of them are active as trio because their bass Ko WooRim had to enlist for his national duty till 2025 May.
Awesome info!!! Definitely pinning this! 📌
Forestella definitely are “The Champions”, winners of the 2017 Phantom Singer contest, winners 6 times in a row of the “King of Kings contest”, they have taken South Korea and now the rest of the world by storm. They did a USA tour last year, and I had the privilege to see them live in Atlanta . 2 of them are opera singers, 1 is a musical actor/singer and one is a chemical engineer who always had his own band on the side (the rock singer). Many many more covers and around 10 originals for you to check out. Maybe “Je suis malade” and Hijo de la Luna” next?
I recognized the name from last years tour but had no idea who they were. I’d have checked them out for sure! Maybe this year?!?🤷♂️
@@ReactionsThatRock no, not this year. The guy with the very deep voice, Ko Woorim, had to take a leave from absence to fulfill his mandatory military service (the other 3 had already done it). He will be back in May 2025. In the meantime, the other three still do a few Forestella appearances, and are doing individual concerts, as everyone is pretty awesome in their own right. Maybe in a few years they will tour the USA again? I suggest you listen to their original that has a lot of “Queen” vibes; “Utopia”. ua-cam.com/video/mt49WO2VF-s/v-deo.htmlsi=cqDM6DuXsX62GWKR
All their performances are live except for their original music videos. The group was formed through the Phantom singer season 2 competition aimed at picking a crossover vocal group. Many of their popular covers were done either on the Immortal songs competition or Phantom singer’s competitions. They have done exceptionally well and gained lots of fans. I consider them the Best quartet in the world today, without a doubt!
Awesome info! I might have to find that in the internet and binge!
Thanks for reacting to Forestella. They are my absolute favorite. They never disappoint. Chills and goosebumps are a common occurrence listening to them. 😂❤❤❤❤
They blew my mind! Cannot wait to revisit them and check out an original song!
welcome to the forest you cant leave once you find it
Seems that way!!! 💜🤩
Welcome to the world of Forestella!!! They're the best vocal quartet!!! 💕💜💙💚🧡❤
I doubt doubt that. Just incredible!❤️
Thank you for your reactions. Love forestella and appreciate your input. Can't believe you only got so few views! ❤ Mai
Thank you so much for the kind words! I've never heard of them before and they are just incredible!
I'm sure the views will start coming in. The copyright blocks on this were CRAZY and I had to fight to get this up. So far, UA-cam has only showed this to less than 100 people. I imagine they'll push it out harder sometime tomorrow.
@@ReactionsThatRockI only found you yesterday…thank you for this reaction to Forestella..MULTI-GENRE AND MULTI-LANGUAGE crossover group. 😁wow! What a baptism you got! 3 brilliant performances. I want to point you towards their cover of LEGENDS NEVER DIE, SMOOTH CRIMINAL, LAZENCA, SAVE US; EXO’S MAMA, BAD ROMANCE, SHAPE OF YOU , and Jim Croce( Forestellarised😅) …Time in a Bottle! So a mixture here of rock, pop, k-rock,k-pop, pop, folk- rock . Currently temporarily a trio while the youngest, the bass singer Ko Woorim (actually a basso profundo) is serving his mandatory military service til 19th May 2025. So as a trio on 6th January they were guests on a show on KBS (KOREAN BROADCASTING SERVICE) called Immortal Songs: KIM SOO-CHEOL and NEW FRIENDS invited as artists he’d either not met or played with before. He is a 67 yr old legendary guitarist being honoured for his contribution to music in Korea and his efforts towards spreading Korean fusion music to the world and is affectionately known as Little Giant. They preceded their epic version as a trio of Queen’s SHOW MUST GO ON with a rearranged Hijo De La Luna (means Son of the Moon) for 3 voices. ( 90’s Mecano,Spanish original) sung here in Korean. And if you want to go a little different, Inner Universe (Ghost in the Shell…Stand Alone Complex, opening track) sung in RUSSIAN, English and a teensy bit of Latin. Music by Japanese composer Yoko Kanno and Co-written by the late Origa …it’s the theme for an anime. These are all live performances, some are in competition on epic stages. I hope this helps you to dive a little deeper….their discography and videography is insane. You ought to be getting more views of this reaction….
Thanks to react to Forestella ❤❤❤❤
Don’t worry if you need to put something on the screen to avoid being blocked. Just put the link to the original in your description. .
Welcome to the rabbit hole. If you want an orchestra with them , you can watch their live performance of Je suis malade ( very beautiful and emotional French song)
If you want to digging more into those four amazing singer , I suggest , the covers I love so much : Champions , the fifa anthem ( very powerful) , legends never die ( league of legend theme) , nella fantasia, time in the bottle and my favorite, Angel
For their originals songs : snow globe, white night , save our lives ( the mv because the live performance have audio problem) and Utopia
They have a lot of covers on UA-cam , different genre, even MJ songs. They are also huge fans of Queen so in Utopia and snow globe , lot of techniques are related.
One of them is also a rocker , his alias is PITTA . He is a phenomenal rocker and a freaking amazing countertenor with no singing training
The others are two operating singers and one is a musical actor.
In their performances they always ( there are few exceptions) be placedin the same way
The left to the right , the bass profundo Ko woorim( operatic singer , the baby of the group ), the counter tenor soprano Kang Hyung ho also name Pitta, the leggero tenor Cho Mingyu ( operatic singer, also the leader) and my soft spot ( love him a lot) The musical actor Bae Doo hoon ( emotional king ) the older of the group .
Hope that help you.
Enjoy , they are the kings of harmonies and each of them are very talented and have solo performances.
Greetings from France
fans already mentioned most of what is important to know about Forestella but I find also amazing that they sing in many different languages(French, Italian, Spanish, African Zulu , Russian, Latin...)
I’ve REALLY gotta check that out! I’ve been enjoying the vibe from international music where I can’t understand the words. It’s a whole different experience!
Thanks for reacting to Forestella. Enjoyable reaction.
They are a South Korean crossover male quartet who can sing brilliantly basically anything.
My guess is you would like Champions (which is NOT We Are The Champions), Legends Never Die, Shape Of You and Sweet Dreams. Time In A Bottle is also a shocker.
However if you're interested they also do beautiful more classical style covers such as Scarborough Fair, Hijo De La Luna, and Sound Of Silence.
Thanks so much for the recommendations! I can assure you that I’m just getting started here. These guys were amazing!🤩
You have found Forestella!! They are amazingly talented, possibly the best quartet I have ever heard.
I believe these three performances were for a tv show rather than one of their concerts, hence why it might not be a live band (which they do have for their own concerts). I want to go to one of their concerts so badly but I don’t think they ever tour to Australia. Pleases react to more Forestella! I recommend Scarborough Fair, Sound of Silence, Time in a Bottle, Hijo de la Luna (for a start 😅)
Thanks for the recommendations! I was really blown away and can’t wait to check out more!!!
We like your true song reviews. very thanks.🥰🥰💗💗💗 👍👍👍👍😅😅😄
Thank you so much!!!
they are 2 opera singers a musical actor and a freak of nature.
the first and 3rd songs were likely to a track.
the premise of this show is artist performing the "immortal songs" of the past. forestella has performed many covers of famous songs on this show that have gone viral. it's how they became known outside of korea.
they also have their own music, but unfortunately they don't go viral.
this is a playlist of forestella's best performances, both the covers and forestella originals. the first 9 songs on the lsit are forestella originals, followed by many brilliant covers:
ua-cam.com/play/PL2hwWBLaUBAdxHvT6jJqkiNMJ3GGeMpUa.html
also, for whatever reason, this is not coming up in a search for forestella. weird. i only saw this by luck of the algorithm.
I had a REALLY hard time getting this visible. The copyright originally got me a FULL global block. First time ever. Then I had to dispute Forestella's people AND Queen's people to get this public. I'm sure that may have something to do with it.
Thank you so much for this! I thought they were amazing and I do love some cover songs but I REALLY want to check out some originals!
@@ReactionsThatRock ah ok. what you can do is fade the video back to be very transparent and put text over it that says something like blocked for copyright. KBS, the broadcasting network used to be more lenient, but within about the past couple of years they seem to be cracking down. fans of forestella will certainly understand!
Thank you for your wonderful reaction to the amazing Forestella!!!
Subscribed!🎉
Thanks for subbing! They’re amazing!!!🤩
Forestella is a classic cross over group ❤ i discovered them recently too but can't get enough so i definitely think you should do more of them 😄
Oh there’s definitely going to be more! Simply outstanding!!!
El mundo debe conocerlos... cómo privarse esté Espectaculo....❤
You’re not wrong! Just amazing!🤩
Huy no sabes lo que te has perdido,.este grupo es simplemente fuera de serie, es el mejor grupo crossover, son surcoreanos pero cantan en inglés, francés, italiano, zulu, castellano, en verdad tienes que darte la oportunidad de conocerlos, ahora uno de sus integrantes el bajo profundo está en el servicio militar y regresa en mayo del ,2025, aún asi, los 3 hermanos mayores son simplemente unos angeles cantando en la tierra. Amo a Forestella
Yeah, I’ve got some catching up to do!!! 💜🤩
🌳☘️🌿🍃 Forestella⭐️🌟☀️🌞los mejores del mundo❤❤❤❤ admiración total desde Chile🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱
Can’t argue that! Such an amazing quartet!!! 🤩🤩🤩
❤❤❤Thank you for Forestella reaction!
Thank you!!! 💜❤️💜
Thank you for covering Forestella! They were individual competitors on a survival elimination show called "Phantom Singer" whose goal was to create a classical 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 (2nd from the left) 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 Leggiero Tenor (he and Woorim went to the same school)
Doohoon - Musical Theater Actor, Baritenor
They continue to enter competitions (these are live competitive performances), put out albums and even toured N. America last year. They intend to keep performing, but they are a man down for a bit as their Bass, Woorim, completes his Mandatory Military service.
Outstanding live performances to check out: (COVERS) Bad Romance, Lazenca, Save Us (From the Space Rock Opera), Legends Never Die, Hijo de la Luna, Time in a Bottle, and Despacito. They recently did “The Show Must Go On” as a Trio.
(ORIGINALS) Save our Lives, Utopia (serious Queen vibes on this one), Snow Globe (a rock waltz), and Kool (their dip into K-pop). They don’t believe in sticking to any one genre, so enjoy the ride!! ❤️🌲💫
Awesome info and recommendations. I’ll be sure to check some more out! Thank you so much!!!😊
독보적인 음색 하모니 포레스텔라 영상 감사합니다 👍 💕 구독 좋아요 포레스텔라 음색 사랑합니다 포레스텔라 많은 곡에서 만니길 ᆢ응원합니다 ❤

Hola!!!
Muy buena reacción!!!

Yo soy una de ellas.
Porque una vez que los escuchás te genera curiosidad por descubrir más canciones de este talentoso cuarteto crossover con 4 voces únicas, capaces de armonizar maravillosamente.
Espero volver a verte!!
Tenés una variedad de géneros muy amplia, lo mismo que de idiomas para elegir.
Cada canción original o cover de ellos te va a deslumbrar!!!
Thank you so much! I definitely need to check out more! Such a great depth of sound in their singing. They compliment each other very well!
good reaction~~~~~~💜💜💜
Thanks!! I try! 🤣🤩💜
Thanks to react to Forestella ❤❤❤❤
Their performances are always live except of course for the M/Vs.
Below I’ll leave a link to Bohemian Rhapsody on Mystique Concert (you’ll find others fan-cam versions of other concerts, too, here on YT as it is a song they always sing in their concerts) in case you want to check it out.
In some broadcast programs the whole orchestra is located behind the stage and sometimes, in some events they sing over the instruments pre-recorded.

💜🤩💜
❤❤❤❤^^
💜🤩💜
singing competions. they do at times show the band but they do use backing tracks a lot but they are brilliant anyway even in the studio or mucking around on their v lives . check out phantom singer season 2 and immortal songs
Yeah, I can see competitions not showing a band. That makes sense.
I’ll check out those recommendations! Thanks!!!
다음주 토요일에 서울 첫 모임 가고싶은데 시험기간 ㅠ
That’s a bummer. I badly want to tell you to skip exams and go, but you might end up like me. 🤷♂️
Most recent queen song Show Must Go On, only 3 as bass in army.Guitar player was Kim Soo-chul (Famous south Korean musician). Immortal song 2 is a weekly music show where singer recreate songs from legends or themes. ua-cam.com/video/aEHoEXhBnI0/v-deo.html
Oh awesome!!! And thank you for the link! I’ll check it out!!!🤩💜
They don't have full orchestras because these TV shows, specifically most of them are from immortal Songs, which is a competition show for established singers to perform classics with a twist. If you checked out Bohemian Rhapsody from their own concert video, you would have seen a full band and an orchestra on stage with them. Some of their TV performances include orchestras, like the operatic tenor cho Mingyu's solo performance Balada de la trompeta from Phantom Singer All Stars, they show the live band playing.
That makes sense. I honestly go in with no clue what I’m getting in to so I didn’t even realize this was a show. They are so incredible!!! 🤩💜
That was nice, I had not heard them before. If you still might react to BTS, please add House of Cards Live (vocal line) or On Kinetic Manifesto Film (there's 2, please the one with blue sky in front of the dam) thanks 💜🤘
I've got more BTS coming. I've had them on hold as I'm TRYING to get to Taylor Mari's guide first... I won't go into the sad details, but it's QUITE hard to sit in one place for 45-60 minutes without getting interrupted. I may have to skip the guide and just jump in as 10-15 minute videos can get made. I've not forgotten and I'll be jumping back in REAL soon!
Thank you for remembering and I hope everything is ok. We'll watch no matter when you have time or how you do it so you do you. 🙂
Have you listened to any of the Super Vocal Competitions in China.? Elvis Wang is the bass in the trio that sang what is one of the most beautiful renditions of "The Sound of Silence" that I have ever heard.
I’ve not listened to any of them as I’m really just discovering the amazing music coming out of Asia. I’ve got some catching up to do! Thanks for the recommendation!!!
