This song is really sad... 😭 It is about a left woman. Her husband somehow has gone across Duman river so she was waiting for him but doesnt know when or whether he could actually come back. So she misses him so desperately. never know why he has gone but can guess it happened in accident(with no intent) because the song was made when Korea was colonized by Japan. 😭and the stage includes some (sad) meanings.. 1. tied hair : she is a married woman 2. white clothes : she is in deep sorrow(or in mourning) 3. her neatly organized shoes : she is going to kill herself becuase she thinks her husband is already dead(wanna follow him). ※ in old korean stories, laid shoes indicate someone killed or is going to kill oneself by jumping from high places or into water etc. 😭she is singing her(or whole Korean people in that period) heartburnings in Korean traditional way of singing.. sad..!

1938년 곡. 일본식민지시절 30살된 독립투사 아내가 남편이 살해당한 것을 알고 목놓아 우는 소리를 옆방에서 듣던 음악가가 만든노랜데 많은 한국인들이 비슷한 경험을 했기에 당시에 누구나 공감하는 노래였습니다. 나라잃은 백성이 나라를 그리워하거나 외국에 살던 사는 사람이 고국을 그리워할때도, 떠난 님을 그리워할때도 부르던 노래입니다. 가사를 모르실텐데도 열린마.인드가 있으셔서 그런지 이 애절하고 슬픈감정을 함께 느껴주시네요. 공감능력이 좋으신듯요. 그래도 역사적배경과가사를 영어로 알려드리고싶네요.

Korean traditional music "Gugak" is really amazing and unique. They truly use their voices as instruments. Song Sohee is like a national treasure in Korea because despite being very young(born in 1997) she dedicated herself to keep this music alive and to get it recognized. She has been studying Gugak since she was 5 years old. She is wonderful.

There is no coming back once you discover Song Sohee, every performance of her is so unique. I will stan her until my last breath.

The main character of the song is a woman who lost her husband during the forced colonial era. The husband was an independence fighter but was shot dead by the ruthless Japanese military, and the woman who was waiting for her husband alone sobbed all night at the news. The composer who heard this pathetic cry made this song. The title of the song is Tumen River, where the woman committed suicide in the river later. In the video, Song So-hee takes off her shoes because Koreans usually take off their shoes when they commit suicide.

many korean husbands and sons were killed by japanese soldiers. young men were also forcibly taken by the japanese army and sent to war. it is a song about the tears of the wives left behind and tears of the women holding the bodies of their dead husbands in their hearts.

Traditional Korean songs like this makes me think they are turning raw emotion into music.

Song Sohee is a traditional Korean singer. She's a very talented woman. She's a genius and started her career at a very young age.

For those who wonder about the technique of her style, the bravado and switching between notes is called the "bell" technique. It requires special training and talent, So-hee is a master at it and has been designated as a living national treasure of Korean culture. Truly a gifted performer, even when you don't know the words the emotion will captivate you!

너무 자랑스럽고 사랑스런 송소희양입니다. 리액션 감사합니다.☆☆☆☆☆

I can't stop crying every time when I listen to it.

"She gave me chills right from the start." Yep. That's how all of us feel when she sings.

Song Sohee her performance of this song is 'Min-Yo'. There are "Min-Yo' and 'Pansori' In Korean traditional Gugak music. 'Pansori' is like 'Opera', and 'Min-Yo' is classical national mosic, so they are different genres(fields).

I heard that this song was written by an writer after listening to an widow screeming from her husband's death. It was 1983 and Korea was taken by Japan at that moment. The husband was murdered by a drunken Japanese soldier. That's why this song sounds so tragic.

She's a national treasure. Born in 1997, debut when she was 12. She has a duet with Lena Park, SK's R&B Fairy on Fantastic Duo.

The white dress that she is wearing on the stage is traditional burial clothes.

What's cool about Sohee and gugak singers is that they practice a skill to not let out breathing sounds in between notes so you don't hear Sohee intaking breath in between her notes. That's why it sounds so clear and perfect like it's been edited out

Breath taking.. I want to add some interpretation about the last part that Sohee sings like shouting her voice out with the lyric 'Gue-ri-eun nae nim yi yeo~ Ah~~~ aaaaah~' . That part means 'miss you, my beloved..ahhhh~', imagine someone crying out alone with deep sorrow. It is the most emotional part, well expressed 'korean 限(한:hahn)'. The 'Hann' means pretty complicated to describe, it is one word but meaning behind the word is '(Because of the war), people were forced to do something wrong, unfair, resentful things, but could do nothing by oneself, and that left a deep sorrow in hearts.' And... if you are interested in Sohee's singing skills or methods, please search '판소리 (Pansori epic chant)', it is one of 'Gukak', Some Pansori are need to be sat down on the floor and sing. That is why Sohee sings with no problem sitting on the floor. I think 'Pansori' singing skills are the most appropriate singing skills to express 'Hahn'..

I have same reaction when I first heard this singing technique, they called it Gugak according to the wiki, there's a unique story telling mystery to it that brings more emotion to the listener, this is coming from someone who doesn't understand korean language but I love it.

She is one of the unique singers I saw in Korean Music Industry.

Song so hee also covered BTS - Spring Day it got me in tears.. i dont even understand korean

한을 이해할까... 문화를 이해할까... 다 의미없다... 음악을 그대로 느끼면 되고 이분은 그렇게 하고 있다. 음악은 만국공용어라고 하지않나...

she need more attention.. there's song list: - Song Sohee - Tomorrow - Song Sohee - Haeundae Elegy - Song Sohee - If I Leave - Song Sohee - Lost - Song Sohee - Cant Live Without Love - Song Sohee - Face (ft 2nd moon)

Welcome to Gugak singers. They are AMAZING.

I am Indonesian. But since my young, really young age, im so in love with pansori. So beautiful. Im am opera singer and i think its bring me there

She uses unique Korean traditional musical technques. You catched well, a subtle technique representing deep sorrows... similar Mongolian Tengri music.

FOR THOSE WHO WANTS TO UNDERSTAND THE LYRICS, HERE YOU GO! TRANSLATED TO ENGLISH: ******* "TEARFUL DUMAN RIVER" (눈물젖은 두만강) A boatman rowing on azure Tumen river, Who'd carried my sweet love away in the past Where on earth have you gone ever? My sweet love I long for, sweet dream I’m yearning for! I wonder when he’d come back to my chest? As the river cries choking her throat on nights lit by moon rays, So does this woman in deep sigh, who had her sweet lost apart, In moans of heart-rending implores overwhelmed by memories. My sweet love I long for, sweet dream I'm yearning for! I wonder when he’d be returning to my heart? ********

어렸을적에 대중 가요 두만강을 Tv에서 지겹도록 많이 들어봤지만 이런느낌은 처음이었다. 옛사람들의 정서를 나는 모르기에 아무런 느낌이 없었다.그런데 그런 노래를 외국인 유튜브 외국인커플리엑션에서 송소희를 우연히 보게 됐는데 난 이 노랠 듣고 그만 펑펑 울고말았다. 송소희는 이 노래에 담긴 한의 정서를 가장 강렬하게 다이렉트로 꽂아버렸다. 충격이었다. 난 송소희의 이 곡을 첨 듣고 너무 감정적으로 충격을 받아 그녀에게로 도망쳤다.왜냐면 내가 가요를 듣고 펑펑 울어버린것은 태여나선 첨이었으니까 너무 강렬한 정서의 충돌은 부담이되었기 때문이다. 그런데 그녀의 노랠 피하면 피할수록 더 생각이 나고 특히 고요한 새벽에 그녀의 노랫소리가 내귓전을 맴돌았다. 그녀는 그 누구도 흉내 낼 수 없는 그녀만의 독특한 마력 과도 같은 목소리와 창법을 가지고 있다. 난 예전에 송소희가 어렸을적에 하두 국악을 잘불러 거기에 완전꽂쳐 한땐 그녀의 국악만 들은적이 있었다. 송소희는 배우의 자질도 가지고 있는거 같다. 이노래의 중반부에 허탈한듯 체념한듯 약간의 미소를 짓는다. 그러다 또다시 극적으로 치닫는다.그녀는 나이가 어린데도 불구하고 삶을 때론 체념하고 승화시키지 안으면 안된다는것도 알고 있는거 같다.

Beautiful and dramatic voice..... There is another Korean video like this that I watched MGN

So beautiful 😍😭

Song So Hee, Kim So Hyang, Ali, Sonnet Son, Park Ki Youn, all these from South Korea... wao wao

인간은 다 같은 감정을 느끼나 봐요. 감사합니다.

국악에 관심이 별로 없어 송소희의 소리를 들어본적 없었고 방송을 통해 차세대 소리꾼이란것만 알고있었는데. 지금 듣고 충격먹었습니다. 앳된 얼굴로 이렇게 격한 감정을 표현할줄은 몰랐네요. 담담한 얼굴로 슬픈소리내는것부터 마지막 소절 직전 내쉬는 한숨까지 소리 말고 다른 요소들도 저에게 완벽했습니다. 김연아선수 은퇴 후 감동주는 사람이 없어 아쉬웠는데 지금 그 빈자리를 채울 사람을 만난것같아 기쁘네요.

your patron doing god's work omg!! every time i watch this and she does the build-up i stop breathing... it moves me to tears every single time and ive watched it over 50 times. thank you so much for reacting to this!!

It is vocalized “HAN” you witnessed.

"Bang-ul-mok," also known as "ringing throat," is a distinctive vocal technique used by Korean traditional folk singers, called "minyo meisters." This technique creates a clear, bell-like resonance in the voice, producing a vibrating sound that adds depth and emotion to the song. It’s especially effective in conveying the poignant and sometimes sorrowful emotions often found in Korean folk music. Characteristics of Bang-ul-mok Bang-ul-mok is characterized by a shimmering, trembling quality in the singer’s voice, akin to the sound of a bell. This technique involves subtle modulation and control of the voice, adding a unique vibrato that enhances the emotional expression in the music. It’s particularly prominent in songs that deal with themes of yearning, nostalgia, or joy. The Rigorous Training Process of Minyo Meisters Foundation in Vocal Training: From a young age, minyo meisters begin their training with basic vocal exercises. They learn correct breathing techniques and voice projection to build a strong, stable voice. Voice Control Mastery: Developing the Bang-ul-mok technique requires precise control over the voice. Singers practice controlling the amplitude and frequency of vocal vibrations, which involves the coordination of muscles in the throat, chest, and abdomen. Emotional Expression: A crucial part of mastering Bang-ul-mok is learning to convey deep emotional content through song. Singers study the lyrics and stories behind the music to fully grasp the emotions they need to express, be it sorrow, joy, or longing. Advanced Vocal Techniques: The Bang-ul-mok technique often requires handling high pitches with finesse. Minyo meisters engage in extensive training to ensure they can maintain clarity and stability even at the upper end of their vocal range. This training process is often long and demanding, involving not only physical conditioning but also a deep emotional and intellectual engagement with the music. The result is a vocal technique that is not just about sound, but about conveying a rich cultural and emotional narrative through song.

Just amazing.. SongSoHee is WOW!

가슴저린 음성 가슴이 녹아지는 노래 들을때마다 눈물이 다시듣고 다시들어도 눈물이 앞을 가리고 앞을가리다니

That is the very old style of Korean singing sound. It might be 1000 years ago.. I am not sure it is much longer. Even Korean can not because there is a very special hard vocal training. Not typical vocal training.

Have you seen Song Sohee collaborating with Forestella? Please check out 'Beautiful Country'. Amazing!

"She took off her slippers, she nice and comfy" :D Me- No, she prepping to commit die lol

Her name is not Song. Her first name is So Hee and last name is Song. She can sing like that because she was specially trained the way of Korean traditional singing.

Korean were nomad moving circles in Eurasia before we settled in Korean Peninsula. Traditionally wear white clothes which used to symbolized Xiamen(priests) or someone linked(?) with sky? god? stars?. We share many similar words with Mongolia, minority group in India, Kazakhstan.. etc.. Doman river is in N. Korea. She sings about the sorrow of parting.

Fantastic

Excelente reacción, felicidades.

great reaction Song So Hee is a traditional Korean folksinger at young age her parents discovered she had a talent for sing and decided to get her singing lessons and the teacher said I can't her she is too good you have to get a masters teacher and when the master heard her decided teacher for free she want on to win a national singing contest at the age of 11 not for age group but for the competition I will like to recommend another song by her I can wait to see your reaction [ Song Sohee - Onara & I Can't Say Goodbye | 송소희 - 오나라 & 불인별곡 [Immortal Songs 2 / 2016.09.17] ] [ kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l9SbodGIyse0Z40.html ] and one more [ Song Sohee - Tomorrow | 송소희 - 내일 [Immortal Songs 2] [ kzfaq.info/get/bejne/etZ6h9WVv7Gyhpc.html ] thank you

대박이다......와우.

I love song sohee

Wow just wow. I'm with you there4 man. Speechless.

Some PEOPLES come from another galaxy!

She specializes "Gugak" (traditional korean music), she was known as Gugak Prodigy.

You need to react to the immortal song duet between song songhee and ko younggyeol for "this is goodbye"! They are both amazing traditional vocalist and their duet was insane!

Fyi she took off her shoes not becauze she wants to be comfortable but it was a kind of tradition to leave your shoes behind when you throw yourself in water to commit suicide...T.T

자네 8시간짜리 판소리 들어볼 생각 없나?

WoW very different tone of voice, very mesmerizing voice, the first 5 secs of the voice it sounded like im inside the cave, the reverb or echo is very high , i feel like im very sad at this moment haha good reaction brotha !

I got chills😭😭😭😭

It is normal vocal skill in korea. Pansori or Gugak is traditional and normal vocal skill. It expresses "deep missing mind and stresses" toward lovers or world.

불후의 명곡ㅡ3.1절특집도 추천드립니다~^^

It is a traditional Korean style of singing.

The Call -님아. 이것도 좋아요~^^

송소희 노래가 참 좋죠 이별이래 이것도 추천합니다. Song sohee - This is goodbye

it's like that sohyang song "arrirang along"

저렇게소리내는게 궁금하시군요 한국에는 저런분 많아요 우선 저런 목소리 낼려면 송소희양 예로들게요 5~6살때부터 방학때마다 산속 폭포에가서 목소리로 폭포소리보다 크게내야하구요 그런연습을 몆년간합니다 그거이 한국에 전통음악 국악입니다

“ she took off her shoes, she’s all comfortable now “ 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Wrong ! Asian cultures are never this casual. Its symbolic.

I love Pansori. It hits you right through the heart.

독립운동하다 죽은 남편을 따라 죽으러 강가에 신발벗어두고 마지막 인사하는 슬픈장면이 떠오릅니다

Profound and beautiful

참고로 송소희는 일반가수가 아닙니다 한국 전통음악을하는 국악인입니다

송소희님이 대단한건~ 우리의 피맺힌한을 토해냬기 때문이다 민요를 잘해서가 아닌듯하다

Ok , I don’t understand Korean , but that’s the most tragic thing I’ve heard.

After hearing the news that her husband, an independence activist, had died after leaving for Manchuria (China), she took off her shoes( mean suicide fallow husband)and sang a song in front of the river he passed by before she died.

기가 막힌다 참나

말 천천히 해주셔서 감사해요 다른분들보다 알아듣기쉽네요.... 리액션 감사합니다
