Sohyang's cover of "I Have Nothing" is stunning and unforgettable.

So Hyang is, I think, one of those genius level people. She taught herself to speak English when she was a kid by watching English language movies. She actually speaks four languages; Korean, English, Vietnamese and French. She has a university degree in French. She taught herself to sing, with only about two short sessions with Seth Riggs when she was visiting North America, and teaches vocal technique at a South Korean university. Here's a biography of her I wrote up, so you can get a better appreciation for the wonderful woman she is. I have also embedded links to her very best performances for you to use in future reactions. *************************************** We all wonder if So Hyang 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 musical assistants), teaches vocal technique at a South Korean university and speaks four languages. Korean, English, French and Vietnamese. 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 travelled to Asia to work with her. 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: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qsuPf5ygy865pGw.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 43 on April 5, 2021, though in Korean culture she would be 44 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 After being sick with pneumonia eight times from 2016 through to 2020, and considering giving up singing altogether, she chastised herself and entered a televised singing contest called “King of the Masked Singers” in 2017 and won six consecutive times, which has catapulted her into international fame from the performances being posted on KZfaq. Whitney Houston’s former manager saw her on KZfaq and showed her to Oprah Winfrey, who brought her to David Foster’s attention. Foster then contacted So Hyang and went to Japan in order to perform eight concerts together at Tokyo’s famous Blue Note Club in late 2018. (For those who don't know, David Foster was Whitney Houston's music producer for her CDs, wrote "I Have Nothing", her most iconic song, and is probably the most famous and influential music producer in the world. He places So Hyang right beside Whitney and the rest of the top tier divas.) Here is the interview where So Hyang related the events: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e9eVeMJi07aRe58.html (Be sure to turn on English subtitles.) Here is the version of “I Have Nothing” Oprah, David Foster and the rest watched on KZfaq: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ipqFrKx-0MrdZIE.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 14:12 and 16:25 which both say “There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death.” In a South Korean television interview So Hyang 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. So Hyang says she saw herself in that young woman and then understood that God was keeping her from developing self-destructive character by withholding celebrity status from her. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qNJdnbtq0KjXdac.html (Again, turn on English subtitles.) So as a consequence she does not pursue fame or fortune and actually has no 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! On Oct. 5, 2020, it was revealed that So Hyang turned down _yet another_ contract offer, this time from Sony Music. 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 KZfaq, 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.” So Hyang is just the most amazing singer, Christian and human being. She is beautiful both inside and out, and so humble, open and genuine, with a stage charisma, facial expressions and smile that is off the charts. In Korean dictionaries 소 향 (So Hyang) 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 and hers is a quite uncommon name. 소 향 is also the name of a heroine in a Korean traditional novel. So in retrospect her name was well chosen, and you can take your pick! Please analyze her performance of “Bridge Over Troubled Water”: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eZyZe8tl3qjcc6M.html Also, please react to her version of “The Power of Love”: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gth-nrmD17Gbj30.html Plus this beautiful duet with her friend Lee Hi where they do Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons’ “Can’t Take My Eyes Off Of You”: vimeo.com/439148918 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: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fdyjmqad0cmygHk.html This is a wonderful Jazz inflected performance of “His Eye Is On The Sparrow”: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fpemo9On1sWqXWw.html Wait until you see her duet of David Foster's “The Prayer” with Jeong Ui Geu: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qNqVYNRk0NvSoGw.html And finally “Will You Be There”: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pKiUhtOW3bvcmZ8.html Here’s an English language interview with her that I’m sure you will enjoy: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hJilktOe1L3cmmw.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 So Hyang revealed 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: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jNSAdM6j3tjdl4U.html I know, bananas isn’t it? Oh, I just remembered, she is also a published novelist and theological treatist, and a very good stage actress, which she proved by playing Julie Andrews’ part in the South Korean 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 can also play the piano and guitar. Is there anything this genius level woman can’t do? Though she is less than 5' 4" and only 100 pounds, So Hyang simply transcends the thresholds of music and takes you there with her. She becomes the song when she sings it. 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 So Hyang works with. They are all top notch from what I can see and hear. The Korean people are easily as talented as anyone else. As you can see, I am a shameless fan. 😉

More So Hyang please!!

mapapanganga ka talaga sa voice nya ,sounds likes an original .di man lang nahirapan sa taas nung song ....BRAVO!

I recommend this song 'Sohyang's cover - I will always love you' to you. She performed together at the request of the composer of these two songs, I have nothing, I will always love you. Sohyang had a joint performance in Japan in 30th Nov. 2018 with this song Composer & Producer David Foster at the recommendation of Oprah Winfrey.

Her voice is powerful and beautiful. Excellent ❤

Happy family, happy reaction. Great performance. Thumbs up. 👍

Starts with You Raise Me Up then O Holy Night followed by Arirang Alone. All from Immortal Song 2. You will love all these songs.

Hi and hello kuya utol sergio ate elisa bryan and uno😘

great cover wooooooow

Here are two female Korean singers of very high note. One is So Hyang(D3-C#6-A6-Eb7. Soul, R&B, Jazz, CCM, Pretty Voice, Resonance, Delivery, Delicate, Ethereal, Stunning, Eyes-watering, Out of This World. She overcome cancer and pneumonia. Lirico Soprano. Amazing points are below.). The other is Park Kiyoung(F6. Rock, Cross-over, World No.1 youtube views of Nella Fantasia). 1. So Hyang 1) Bridge over troubled water kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eZyZe8tl3qjcc6M.html 2) You raise me up (She struggled against pneumonia and phlegm which is fatal to a singer, and was told not to say even a word by a doctor. But she turned a deaf ear to this advice and by a miracle suceeded in this stage in the middle of an IV. But after this performance, she dread this disease(only singers can know), became lethargic and was rarely seen in public for about 2 years. One day she saw and was inspired by the words of Roosevelt, "There is nothing to fear but fear itself." Then she returned.) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qsuPf5ygy865pGw.html 3) I have nothing kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eaykhbiEtd7Hkac.html 4) Lean on me kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fdyjmqad0cmygHk.html 5) I will always love you kzfaq.info/get/bejne/erVoZ5h21ruXlXk.html 6) Arirang alone kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sKypocd8nryzc58.html 7) Misty (Jazz) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ebtodK6Gp7OdcoU.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a9Vyl7eilbnDfIk.html 8) Hug me -> This song is a dialogue between lovers. Whenever So Hyang sings this song, she mostly cries. So I guess, in my opinion, this song can be a dialogue between a human and God. I heard she was upset that she had pneumonia and lost her voice.
