She is wearing a hanbok, traditional Korean clothes, but modernized as they always use to be bright colours. She has been around far longer than Dimash, she is 42 (I think 38 here) he is only 26. She is not well known because she has always refused to sign up to any large label, and she has been asked more than once. She sings for God and to comfort people. I love the violin player too, she is Sue Son who appeared on Britains Got Talent 2009 if you want to look that up.

She is a Master Arranger and also a Fantasy Novelist as well.

In 1998, at the age of twenty, So hyang was diagnosed with uterine cancer; due to the early detection, she was able to survive the cancer, but was rendered infertile. According to So hyang, her goal is to use her voice to comfort people who are going through difficult times. So hyang is also an author of fiction, who has published multiple fantasy novels since 2013, the most well-known of them being Crystal Castle and Anaxion.

I agree with you; I am so glad I discovered So Hyang in September of 2019. She is a musical blessing from God. In fact, she is the closest thing I have found to a supernatural musical experience! She was about 37 when she sang this song and is now 42 though in Korean culture she is 43 because you are considered to be one year old when you are born. She had uterine cancer just after she got married at 19 and as a result can never have children. So she decided to become a Contemporary Christian Gospel singer. She chose Christianity when she was a teenager. The violinist is Sue Son. She was born in South Korea but moved to the UK with her parents when quite young. She went back to South Korea in her 20s and is now established in their music industry. Quite a talent, isn't she? And she also is a Christian, which is not all that common in South Korea.

Thank you for your reaction and welcome to the wonderful world of Sohyang.

Someone's say She is fermale version of Dimash. . but It's wrong . . She debut in 1996 when Dimash was baby. . .So Dimash is male version of Sohyang. . . It's correct. .

Wonderful reaction! "Arirang" is a very old Korean folk song with great significance to all of the Korean people. This nostalgic song was passed down from past generations, from a time when Korea was united, and is a simple life story of the Korean people. It speaks of love, sadness, farewells from loved ones, and overcoming hardships from Korean wars and other conflicts. It also speaks of the small happinesses found in everyday life, being as one in their hearts together, and hoping for a better future. This song could be viewed as an anthem of a united Korea. You can tell how important this song is to So Hyang. She puts her heart and soul into her performance.

she is another level.

The song is a traditional folk song considered the national anthem of both Koreas, played at events where both Koreas are represented. I admire the great technical skills of Asian singers in general. They work very hard and show lots of dedication during their years of training and it shows.

I have been telling you a long time ago that So Hyang is the most amazing female singer. Prepare for another ride. Also she is a kind and gentle soul. Love her. Thank you

Thank you for your wonderful reaction and welcome to the beautiful world of Sohyang. You are in for a treat.

I would never compare her to Dimash because she is So hyang and i am bias when it comes to her i could tell by the look on your face she got your attention

She has such a heavenly voice. Yes, I heard some similarities to Dimash in her voice, but she is as unique as Dimash, and as perfect. Thank you for reacting to Sohyang.

I love listening to Sohyang singing. I have shifted my direction from Dimash to Sohyang because she is a soulful singer. She is a cancer survivor and devoted Christian. She doesn't go for wealth and fame but to inspire and comfort people with her singing. She is my fav singer and inspire me. She arranged all her songs as her own. Go listen her sing : 1) Bridge over troubled water (Immortal Songs 2 - singing competition) my fav 2) lean on me (Immortal Songs 2 - a tribute to Michael Bolton) my fav 3) you raise me up (Immortal Songs- a tribute to Shane Filan from Westlife) 4) I have nothing (DMC FESTIVE) 5) never enough (MV) 6) I can only imagine (MV) 7) I will always love you (Begin Again Korea organised by JTBC to go on road show during coronavirus period to comfort people) 8) I won't give up (Begin Again Korea) 9) if I ain't got you (Begin Again Korea) 10) Everyone (in Korean- on English caption to understand lyrics) (king of mask singer- singing competition)my fav 11) breathe (king ofmasksinger)(in Korean- song wrote by Jonghyun from group name Shinee who committed suicide in dec 2017 - sad song - look for English subtitle to understand lyrics) 12) hug me (in Korean - king of mask singer) 13) where are you (in Korean) 14) dream (in Korean - DMC FESTIVE) 15) dear love (in Korean- written by a writer on her husband who committed suicide - king of mask singer) It's good to get lyrics in English to understand it because Sohyang sings with emotion on each word and why audiences tearing.

Yay I was waiting for this day! 😆. Great reaction. This is a great “intro” song to So Hyang. Get ready for “Everyone”, “Lean On Me” or “You Raise Me Up.” 🙌🏽💙

Yeeessss, SoHyang 😻 haha, you’re literally taking the same journey as me, I love it. More amazing pieces by her: You raise me up, I have nothing, Bridge over troubled water, Everyone, O holy night, Lean on me. Pick any and you’ll fall more in love with her! Looking forward to your next reaction to her 💓

So Hyang amazing voice !!! 🎶🎤🎶 Thank you very much Sabina !!! 👌🍀

Thank you for this reaction. I can see how genuinely moved you were in watching Sohyang's Arirang Alone. I am actually very impressive by how quickly you sense what makes Sohyang special. "...compassion, goodness and love" These are qualities you find in Sohyang, not just in her music but in her life. You are a very perceptive person. As a devout Christian, she has been supporting ministry work all her life and she said that the purpose of her singing is to bring consolation and comfort to those in need. The message comes out loud and clear in her performances. Glad you made your acquaintance through Dimash. Both Dimash and Sohyang are examples of great talent and disciplined hard work to make themselves so distinguished in their craft. They are both recognized for their tremendous vocal ability and dominating stage presence. However, you will find each with their own set of special attributes in time. I am tempted to go on but it's probably better not to deprive you of the joy to discover them on your own. Sohyang has many notable performances available on the web. I'd suggest Bridge Over Troubled Water, Everyone, Your Raise Me Up (2018 rendition) and Lean On Me first. BTW, appreciate your comment for youth today to find direction and focus on polishing their skill in their chosen field. However, in spite of her youthful appearance, Sohyang is 42 years old today. She performed this stage about five ago.

I'm not sure if there was others that called her the female version of Dimash but... that was definitely me!!! I'm so glad you reacted to her. She has so much control, and many vocal textures just like Dimash. To be honest, Lara Fabian and Dimash have more in common than So Hyang I think because of them singing in different languages, breath control, and the emotional side of the performance but... just something about how she executes the music reminds me of Dimash. She's a "take me to church" singer. She is a Christian gospel singer and her specialty is her mixed voice belting. She has an incredible backstory... and could be more famous but has turned down many contracts. My 2nd favorite performance of hers is her cover of Bridge over Troubled Water. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eZyZe8tl3qjcc6M.html

So glad you decided to listen to this amazing singer,and to start with this song. 😊 I am a huge fan of Dimash and So Hyang,keep up with these great reactions,there is so much talent and wonderful music in this world!❤️🌏 Peace and love from Serbia ✌️🇷🇸🤟

Wow!! My first time listening to her, she’s great! Loved it!

I came back to see your reaction to this Sohyang performance. Very sweet. The more you learn about her, the more you will love her. She has had her rough times and has dedicated her singing to lifting others' spirits. Cheers.

Such a great reaction. Goodness. Kindness. Strength. Those three words are always there when I watch a So Hyang performance and your recap captured the feelings we all had the first time we heard her voice.

Thank you for the reaction~ Welcome to Sohyang's world~^^

JUST WOW !!! For sure, Sohyang is the best (female) vocalist with Park Ki Young in this world. Sohyang and Dimash are different styles. Dimash is an amazing Popera singer. Thanks. From N.Y.

wáooo beautifull, thank you Sabina I love it

Thank you for reaction. I always love her..she is amazing.

My first time listening to this song... she is very talented, pretty voice, love her belting and the violinist too 💕 Only I missed being absorbed emotionally into the song the way Dimash reaches me ❤️

❤️❤️❤️Looooove Sohyang!!! She is My Queen of Singers and Dimash is MY King of Singers ☺️🌹 She sings with her whole heart, soul and emotions, and is a master of story-telling. She touches her audience with her singing! ❤️❤️❤️ My favorite performance is "Everyone"... and get the one with Eng. Sub. ^^

So Hyang and Dimash are very different. I’m glad that the world can have both of them. Dimash is really the representative of popera, a new genre pushed to an unbelievably high level by Dimash. So Hyang is different. She has a very special place in my heart that she is a great mixture of a Gospel singer, a good portion of Mariah Carey, a little Celine Dion and a Korean pop singer and her super bright mixed voice high up in the 5th octave just killed me every time. Her live performances have generally been arranged very well (a lot by her own idea I heard) and she always ALWAYS gives you some surprise in a song but still with a very solid tone throughout the entire song. She has too many good performances to recommend, both in English and in Korean. Just roll your dice and you won’t be disappointed.

Just imagine So Huang and Dimash singing a duet together. MIND-BLOWING!!! 💥🗯️💢🔥😊🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿👍

So happy that you reacted to So Hyang. So Hyang is amazing. She sings to give thanks. She is a cancer survivor. Also, she doesn't perform for commercial/financial reasons and you might notice that she performs at smaller venues. Also, I believe she performed for Korea's Masked Singer shows, similar to Dimash performing on China's Masked Singer show.

Finally 😍😍😍!!!! Thank u to have listened to me 🤣 (and others of course 😘)!! Love her so much and I finally I would say that Di is the female version of So cause she debuted earlier (my apologize 😅 but it was to get your attention 😘)! Now you’ll have to listen to lean on me, bridge over troubled water and you raise me up (guaranteed thrills 😍)! Gotta get to work 😎💪🏼!! ❤️u! Fun fact : So and Di participated to Mask Singer 🐱🦁! And you’ll have to modify your title coz the it’s Arirang and not Ariang.

I Am A Singer originated in Korea. The one in China is a franchisee. Sohyang participated in I Am A Singer 2 in 2012. I wonder if you have chills and goosebumps? Lolz.

One the BEST reviews of this artist I have ever heard !!!!! Nicely done !!!!!

The competition she took part was called Immortal songs and it was in Korea. Dimash took part in chinese Singer.

That was superb !

sohyang is like a pearl in the ocean... it stays hidden until someone digs deep to find it....

SoHyang paints vivid pictures with her voice, using tone and dynamics to bring the lyrics to life!!

Thank you for reacting to Sohyang. You will receive a lot of love from her global fans =) Looking forward to your next one!

so hyang--bridge over troubled water/i have nothing/o holy night/arirang alone/everyone/upon this rock/us national anthem/hero/power of love/let it go/breathe/hug me/amazing grace/i will always love you

Yesss welcome to the world of Sohyang she’s one of the best vocalists in the world please react to more of her immortal song 2 and king of the masked singer performances🙏🏽

A rearrangement of an old folk song, which for some has taken on the meaning of a hope for the reunification of the 2 Koreas. Since surviving cancer, she sings to comfort people, and usually picks songs that can have a spiritual dimension. She also sings in English without a trace of an accent, and could be a worldwide star if that was her ambition - but it doesn't seem to be.

Great reaction,welcome to the world of queen sohyang. This performance was not all she has to offer,it was just that particular week of the show it was given to traditional korean music,which is why she was wearing a hanbok(trad.korean dress).This song has become somewhat of an unofficial korean anthem as it is about that one day the north & south korea will one day reunite & become one, but it sounds very unlike so hyangs version as it is usually a simple folk song,but it has been made in to this more 'anthemic' piece by so hyang's amazing arrangement (so hyang does all the arrangements for the songs she performs). Maybe you should react to one of her performances of songs you may already know so you can see just how amazing her ability to make a song her own through her mastery of both vocals & arranging. She is 42 now but was 39 in this video. I suggest next either 'bridge over troubled water' or 'lean on me' both from the show 'immortal songs 2' just to acclimatise your ears!!! & then,like Dimash there are so many fantastic performances for you to see. Although her heart is in gospel music,she can sing any genre, obviously the ballads but she can sing pop,jazz,rock & in one particular episode when she was on the show 'king of masked singer' she can even be seen rapping!!

There is a plenty of songs from so hyang that are super cool to react to it like ( you raise me up) (lean on me)(bridge troubled over water)....

Actually Dimash is the Male version of So Hyang .. Her career is much longer ...

Sohyang 44 year old she still great vocalist Korea vocal Queen

Listen to Bridge Over Trouble Waters. A master piece. Like Dimash she is able to make every song her own. Love u

Your jaw will drop further when you find out how old she is. She is 42 now (born in 1978) and was 38 or 39 when this show was aired.

Love her religious voice 😇💜

😊 beautiful !

The original "I Am a Singer "is a South Korean show. The Chinese TV show that Dimash (2017) and Jesse J, KZ Tandiagan , Hua Chenyu (2018) performed is a different show and was also called "I Am a Singer", but was later renamed as "Singer". Hua Chenyu won the show in 2020.

I did not know her, but she is very talented !!

Here is some History for you SoHyang Kim has always struggled with her health during her lifetime with those many illnesses.. uterine cancer, hepatitis, chronic pneumonia, etc.. The night she sung You Raise Me Up She just got out of Hospital and was advised Not to sing...So she did that....lol It's really a miracle this one of the most skilled vocalist of all time could be in such poor condition. And definitely she is much more than great technician and has Perfect Control of Her Gift...and Her singing is so special. So Being a Cancer survivor And still gets sick from Time to time. But is an Amazing Artist who gave up a Kpop career to sing for the Lord and for the Love of Music instead of stardom. She learned English as a Child from Disney Movies, which inspired her to Write two of her Books...(both Published and there are more). Also And Publicly thanks Marey Carey for teaching her everything she Knows about Music ... that is some Testament to The Power of Music AS FANS AND ADMIRERS WE PRAY FOR HER CONTINUED IMPROVEMENTS IN HER HEALTH

She is lovely!

According to Sohyang Kim, her goal is to use her voice to comfort people who are going through difficult times.

Been following for awhile but I more recently got discovered So Hyang, and hold her up there with Dimash and Angelina Jordan in the top tier, but all for different reasons. I hopep you do more of her + show Henri as well! :)

Hi Sabina ! My two favourite artists is Dimash and Morissette Amon.Morissette is a 24 y.o. artist from the Philippines,and she is a great passionate performer with a phenomenal voice.Like Dimash she also have a beautiful personality.I wish you could react to her also.You won´t regret it,I promise you ! Thank you very much !

Inspirational.. singing together with the audience some parts that audiences are familiar with Restricted but well supported high note.. awesome

I believe in this performance she was around 39 or 40 years old. She is now 42 years old.

Name of the song : Ari"r"ang Alone

Try "It is only my world. Day Day. Misty. I will always love you." You will see her Rock, Rap, Blues and Balad at its best. As for her best arrangement, "Everyone & Lean on me" are the pinnacle of her works. This is why she is quite different than others. Not just vocal ability but her musicality is another level.

Glad to see you branch out a little music is the universal language no borders

Nice reaction she is an artist not a singer does her own arrangements too.

By now you have read a lot about what an amazing lady is Sohyang. If you would like, I suggest that you find her performance of "I Have Nothing" at the Legend concerts. ONLY the Legend performance. You will see an entirely different Sohyang - such that it will astound you. I promise. Cheers.

소향의 노래는 세련되고 섬세하며 갑자기 토네이도가 되어 나를 날려버린다 Thank you Sabina I love you from Korea...

For more mind bending, her versions of 'Bridge Over Troubled Waters' (KBS Kpop), "I Have Nothing', 'Lean On Me', or 'Misty' (and many others) are second to no one's performances of all time. She is that great. She hits the center of every note, but how she gets there is an incredibly joyful ride!

Thank you for your reaction of So Hyang. Dimash is the King and So Hyang is the Queen.

hahaha ^^ She is not young. She is 38 years old, when she sang that song~ But, She getting younger and younger. She was born 1978. So amazing !!!

Plss! Next So Hyang- Everyone!

The dress is a centuries old traditional costume

Plz enjoy her " You raise me up""lean on me" and "Bridge over the troubled water" from the same TV show. You will be speechless!!

She is Sohyang, No need to compare. She is unique and on the league of her own. The Diva in this era.

Queen

I agree 100% with Aegis comment!! Great, Great!!!!!

Thank You for the reaction. Personally I love So Hyang 💚. But I still love Dimash ❤️, I think they are similar but very different, I don't know how to explain it different styles

Q llore dice. Es bellisima esa canción.

[Recommended] Among Korean singers, "BTS. Black fink" and K-Pop are not the only young singers. There are so many singers with good vocal skills such as "Sohyang. Forestella. Park ki young, Ha hyunwoo. Park hyo shin".

I love you Sabina

You need to check Sohyang's "Bridge over troubled water"

Fun fact : she is 42 years and from south korea she is married and she is fertile

Sohyang is not a Dimash ! She is 43 years, Dimash was a baby when Sohyang was already famous !She teaches music at an university and she arranged all het covers and songs by herself, She also writes with succes fantasy stories, she is a cancer survivor, she sing not for fame or fortune, she sings to make people happy She is wel known for explosief high notes, she threws them when you least expected. She wears a typical a Korean folkdress.Listen; I have nothing, Bridge over troubled water, Lean on me, I will always love you, Mona Lisa, Power of love, You raise me up, Day Day= rap song, Never enough,Many consider her the best female singer! Amazing singer

You need to check out so Hyang Mona Lisa from the Korean version of the masked singer

Dimash is the Male version of So Hyang . She has more than techniques.

The moment when you find out she was 37/38 when she sang this.

Sohyang is NOT a Dimash.She=43 years and Dimash was a baby when she was already well known. Listen to her ;"I have nothing "she sang it better than Whitney and Higher."Lean on me "Michael Bolton was presence and he was so impressed he invited her to sing at his concert.She arranged all her covers and songs by herself, also she teaches music at an university.Mona Lisa=Rock song Day Day=Rap song. "I will always you", Power of love, You raise me up, She sang not for Fame or Fortune. She sang for people to be feeling happy !!

You heard the song of one of the best singers in the galaxy right now.

Hey Sabina Dimash is King of Vocals then Sohyang must be Queen.. I told you you would love her .. She is also 40's and a cancer survivor :)

you can call her "so young" So Hyang. :)

Потрясающий вокал.🍒

Dimash is a sound that is practiced, not an emotion-controlled sound. Sohyang is a direction to express emotions. So the quality of the sound controlled by emotion is different. You should be aware of this difference. 2020 SoHyang I will always m.facebook.com/SoHyangTV/videos/714085512501684/

Сабина, ты самая красивая женщина, что я видел в своей жизни! Красивая душой!

Sohyang =42 years and is not a female Dimash! If you want to blown away. listen to her; "Everyone"her speaking part she voice almosr broke and she cried in acapella ! The most difficult song she ever sang! At that dark place she was there, Sohyang is a cancer survivor !

~ 리액션 ~ 잘 보 고 갑 니 다.

i've been watching both dimash and so hyang from several years. i enjoy and love both of them but for me so hyang is much better singer than dimash. she's better at storytelling and also more consistent at singing quality. basically she's more experienced than dimash. and i love your reactions as always :) peace....
