Also, about the song. As someone (Junsik Min) commented on another video: This is a song based on Korean traditional folk song called Arirang. It is the spirit of Korea (both) and the song is about the hopes of two Koreas become one. Her soft voice depicts the peaceful land of Morning Calm. It gets darker and she screams to express anger and pain for the families lost in wars. Then she sings with strong tone to fight back the bad ones. The mood becomes brighter as the country is recovering from the ruins. Then she sings the original Arirang Folk song of which is the spirit of Korea. Then she explodes shouting out the glory and joy of modern Korea's prosperity. She goes back to the calm voice to tell people that Korea would be peaceful again like it was before. This masterpiece is the perfect illustration of the past, present and future of Korea.

She hits B5 like a G5, and it's not even a head voice. I mean wtf, how the hell?! Queen.

이분도 첨에는 무덤덤 하시더니 이제는 완전히 소향님에게 빠지셨네. 소향의 마법이다. 그 누구도 빠지게 만드는 마력적인 소향님!~

her dress is a modern variation of a traditional Hanbok usually worn for traditional performances .. Weddings ... Holidays ... Historical Dramas etc,,, men also wear Hanboks ( not dresses of course) for the same events ...

Incredible Sohyang! A dress she is wearing is called "Hanbok" and it's a Korean traditional clothes as I believe. She is a professor at Baeksuk Art University and also has her own Academy of Music. By the way, you have a beautiful voice :)

Love your So Hyang reactions.

꽤나 오랫동안 소향님을 좋아하셨군요 ㅎㅎ

'Arirang' is the most famous traditional old song after Korean national anthem. Also, there are so many 'Arirang' songs with various rhythms in different places in the entire South Korea, which is resisted in UNESCO. This Arirang is little bit fusion but does beautifully arranged with nice orchestra.

One of my favorite youtubers. I love it when guys like you know Sohyang. Please react to her song Dream

She really is a queen. Very very high quality vocal and the way she sings is so emotional and such huge control over her voice. The way she sings is mesmerizing. Many people are impressed by more quantity of notes like very high notes in whistle register, but for me music is more about quality and beauty. Edit: By the way your headphones, are they SuperL HD660 or Beyerdynamic 770? Both are very good, I have 7-8 different headphones. Good taste.

Thank you for analizing Sohyang's voice. Please react more Sohyang's performances.

Perfection and beauty 👸💕🎵🎼🎶🎤 🔈🔉🔊

Always great to see u reacting to So hyang....👍👍👍

Thanks for your reaction video! I'm Korean and I grew up in Seoul. Yes, Arirang is the most popular Korean traditional(folk) song. When we koreans sing this song, all we become the one anywhere anytime. The story of this song is our ancients lives such as love, sadness and so on. Through Japanese colonial era in early twenty century, this song also includes more tragical emotions especially bcuz of sexual slaves issue, Dokdo issue, East sea issue between Korea and Japan. That's why the audiences look so impressed at the moment. :) The clear thing is Arirang is a symbol of Korea, one of the most important things in our culture. Also, she is wearing Korean traditional costume called Hanbok (it's a bit re-designed contemporary Hanbok but it's still beautiful as well). I'd like to recommend other talented Korean singers such as Park hyoshin(wild flower-live in a concert), Ailee(she is Korean but she grew up in the U.S. She enjoy singing songs in Eng), Lee Sunhee(mv of 'meet him among them'). Thank you again enjoying Sohyang's song. ;D

she is my queen!!!

Ok I am sold, she is the best... hands down

yes she is TRUE QUEEN OF VOCAL in ASIA ...agreed with your statement..

Really crazy~ incredible~ she is out of this world~!

Oh sohyang my queen 👸 😊❤

Perfect reaction !!!

The outfit is the traditional Korean clothes called Hanbok. Nowadays people don't wear it so often but you will see some tourists or some local people wear the clothes around the biggest palace (Gyeongbok-gung) in Seoul, Korea.

The clothes she wore are hanbok(한복). Korea traditional dress.. Her skills are world class. However, low awareness in Korea. Her fans want her to be known to the world because of KZfaq.

눈물이나네요ㅠ

뷰디풀 송! 사랑합니다♡노래 도 잘 하시네요? ㅎㅎ~^^

I respect Kim SoHyang because yes she is beautiful singer and she has amazing voice she has survived so much in just sad that age will take it away from her in 10 years why does time have to do this 😭

Please react So Hyang,,,,, - Bridge over trouble water & Everyone

Thank you so much for appreciating Sohyang. She is truly inspirational person ❤

i love her so much

Haha! You almost memorized this Korean song.. Yazik!😅 It's been over 8 years since Sohyang sang this song, so time really flies..

her voice is so clear, sweer and yet so much power...despite the belting i don;t come out exhausted listening to her ive been converted to sohyang thank you for featuring this piece

When I heard her first time I cryed haaaaard....i never cry first time i hear new song. But this time was...only tears...the song is: where are you. Very impresive and however: perfect vocal technique

Ah Ha! You are from Poland, the nation of Chopin. Poland and Korea have similar and sad history, because of surrounding by the strong nations. I still like the movie name, 'Pianist.' And the German Officer allowed to play piano to the main character in the movie, and he played the Chopin's piano song. It was soooooo beautiful. Good Luck, Yazik, Chau(?)!

I like yazik because he shows good and honest reactions. and Yazik is a good singer.

Thank you Yazic. Sohyang is always phenomenal...gaboja=>가보자...ㅋㅋㅋ

Thank you :)

Awesome video :D

이 형아.. 소향한테 빠지더니 한국어도 배우겠엉ㅋㅋㅋ

YAZIK, I love your vocal too.

That beautiful dress is traditional korean dress with a touch of contemporary taste.

plz continue to update your reactions! can't wait to see

She actually had a tough life, she had cancer, she couldn't have children because of it. The song Arirang is about Suffering and Resilience, which she also personifies in my opinion.

잘보고 갑니다 yazik~^^

우왕 ㅎㅎ따라잘부른다잉 ㅎㅎ

That is modern version of Korean traditional outfit. And the song is very old song about hard life of olden days of Korean! Hope i could help you to figure out ur curiosity! :) I’m happy to see ur reaction about her who my favorite singer ! Thank you!

react to the best extreme vocals Korean female singers. its amazing. they also have male and thats also really good you should check that out too!

The song she sang is a new song that is composed with the motif of 'minyo (folk song of Korea) ARIRANG.' So she seems to have coordinated 'hanbok' to match the song.

Thanks! I really enjoy it. Please, check out the SoHyang ‘s “Breath” & “Faith” (make sure to get the one with subtitle!)

This is the song everyone in Korea sang together before the war (like God Bless America). Now they sing it as a plea for reunification, when they will all sing it together again.

wow

This song, Arirang Alone, is a Korean unofficial national anthem.

Arirang Alone * ahah

Her outfit is a traditional dress called hanbok. It's like how Japan has kimonos or China has maos

plz react...Cuplikan Kemeriahan Opening Ceremony Asian Games 2018 from indonesia

Traditional Korean Hanbok is not see through at the top, neither is it EVER white, as we wear white to funerals & is considered bad luck. Arirang is also the National Flower (Rose of Sharon). Traditional folk singers were said to practice by waterfalls & were considered proficient when they could be heard over the falls.

good analize!!!!!(sorry, i can not speake well)

It like national song for Korea if I not mistaken

Koreans usually wears at special ceremony, such as weddings, new year's ceremony like that. But Buddhist monks, shamans always wears it.
