She practises each song many, many times before performing it. In one video of her coming off stage she was crying because she made a mistake in one song.

She is a fluent but non-native speaker of English; that is to say that her first language is Korean and second language is English. Keep in mind that she is a professionally trained gospel singer and she did spend some time learning in the U.S. I think most people will request "Lean On Me" and "Arirang Alone" but I think her performances in Masked Singer were just as difficult and inspiring (in order of personal preference): "Dear Love" (but only with subtitles b/c the lyrics mean everything), "Home", "Hug Me", and "Breathe" preferably all with subtitles since songs are in Korean

Although SoHyang is South Korean she is fluent in English. I had the privilege of meeting her after a concert in Los Angeles and she spoke with us entirely in English without any difficulty and she even read some English fan-mail from the lucky group with the ease of a native speaker. Believe me when I say that being in the audience of her shows is an overwhelming experience because I had an out-of-body experience when I heard her sing "Fate" in person. I had a moment of disbelief and shock when I heard her execute a seamless transition from her head-voice run back down to chest voice in the legendary climax. I can die now because I heard SoHyang sing my favorite song in concert.

She was born in 1978, and is 42 years old. At the age of 18, she made her debut as a CCM singer. She survived the cancer when she was 19 years old. She was 34 years old and appeared on "I Am a Singer" of MBC, 16 years after her debut as a singer. (Most Koreans had not known of her until that time.) She started to become known to the Korean public in earnest. Afterwards, she will appear on "Immortal Songs" of KBS to become a singer. Many major production companies abroad wanted to sign with So-Hyang, She refused, "I don't sing for money and fame." The reason is that she sing to make her fan happy.

Few singers in the world have the ability that So Hyang has, where she literally shows you her soul in excellent vocal technique, I might even dare to say that she is above Dimash in vocal and acting quality. This woman is on another level. This is So Hyang's best performance by far.

I still feel, that even with other great singers, she IS... the best female vocalist on the planet. There is nobody else other than a true opera singer than can stay up in the higher register for 3/4 of the song, and this one was like a marathon, that she breezed right through.

Your comment about her talent as a performer is spot on. A lot of people don't ever mention her stage presence and ability to convey the story and emotion of the song. Her body language, facial expressions and energy on stage to elevate the impact of the song is fantastic.

Sohyang said that this seven-minute song was the most difficult performance in her life. With all her might, she delivered the message of consolation, hope and courage that she wanted to convey in a touching way.

While Sohyang has countless FEATS of vocal technique, this performance is perhaps her most impressive. And her performance and emotive ability is equally incredible! I like how you mentioned that she can probably sing anything because that's basically true lol. You should check out her rendition of "Arirang Alone," her take on a classic Korean folk song!

SoHyang studied French literature in college, which may explain her fluent English and perfect pronunciation even though she never lived nor studied abroad. Beside her linguistic talent, I heard she never had formal music/voice training to speak of except few tips and lessons here and there. She even wrote and published few fantasy novels on her spare time, if you can believe that. When someone is truly gifted, it shines everywhere.

Sohyang learned to speak English through Disney movies and some American shows while she was young. So not a bilingual household, but Koreans do all take English at school. She is incredibly smart though. I know she took French at university and she is a guest speaker on vocal technique at Baekseok University and has a number of novels written as well. Before becoming a singer she planned to be an artist. I've heard her sing in Chinese as well and someone said she had perfect pronucation there as well.

​@@jvoxfox My pleasure :) . I'm not saying I dislike the concept of the show, btw. Introducing a competition aspect does spice things up by making it more interesting, compared to merely inviting artists and have them sing one after another, a la other variety type shows. I imagine like everything that involves competing, the competitors/artists are therefore subtly encouraged to go the extra mile. I'm grateful for shows like these where we get a chance to discover someone like Sohyang flexes her vocal mastery. I also remember that without these type of shows, Sohyang would forever be a hidden, undiscovered jewel to the rest of the world, even within South Korea. But, as the saying goes, cream rises to the top. Once Sohyang agreed (Finally, after years of refusal!) to accept an invitation and perform in a television show, with similar competition format, she blew up. To be precise, she blew up the brains of vocal pedagogy experts and enthusiasts alike who didn't even know she exists 😁 . (I'm sure by now you've read comments on your videos outlining her humble disposition of not seeking fame nor fortune, how she refuses national and international contracts, and about fans lamentation of why she doesn't have even one social media account or online presence to self-promote herself more. But, that's why she's Sohyang. Diva level talent, minus the Diva attitude. She *_KNOWS_* she's damn good too, but she _always_ forwards compliments received to God, and her hard work is merely being a steward to not waste God's gifts. Sohyang definitely wouldn't fit in well in the music industry. I'd hate to see such a pure soul be corrupted by the industry too, and I'm not even religious or spiritual.)

When I saw your video popped up, I knew I'd get an informative and sincerely reaction from you. And I am touched by your reaction, for how it mirrored my own when I saw this for the first time (well, minus all that vocal expertise). I've seen many vocal experts talk about Sohyang's range, stamina, control, and technique, but somehow along the way, these technical tips all gave way to the emotional punch her voice brings to the performance. Your confessed distraction may be the more appropriate way to surmise a reaction. The truth is that I often find myself reluctant to watch this performance because I always end up physically exhausted, emotionally spent, and spiritually overwhelmed. Sohyang started out as a gospel singer and powerful one backed by her spiritual conviction. It's hard not to be affected by this mesmerizing display of vocal prowess and emotional attack :-) BTW, as others noted, she speaks English rather fluently, but I always attributed the precision of her pronunciation to her professional discipline. I have watched her singing (in video) in Chinese and showed impeccable pronunciation even though I don't believe she speaks Chinese well enough to overlook the language barrier. Thank you for this fantastic reaction.

In Everyone She whispered ... "whenever it is I am lonely who is it that will comfort me ? it is you .. Everyone"

The Immortal Song 2 competition goes by voting of the audience presence in the hall. For that particular episode, drove of fans of a particular singer were present. Eventually, he won this episode. Prior to airing this episode, a few of the competitors admitted on air that Sohyang will blew away the competition, as her rehearsals was way beyond words. Don't you think that there were so many moments where she should breathe and she didn't, making the song seamless? PS: Maybe you should check out her iconic Arirang Alone. Most of us fall into the rabbit hole after hearing this song.

Have to post once more. Its a shame that she will never get the recognition she deserves as one of the best female vocalists ever. So many STILL do not know she exists. The singers in the states are too spoiled and stuck up to let her have anything, but she needs to be recognized in some way, whether she does not have any gold albums or anything. There are none better than her in my opinion. Oh and her stamina.... there is an hour long interview i will leave a link for you to watch, where a Turkish vocal coach traveled to S. Korea to speak with her, and see how she does what she does. As far as the stamina, she speaks of fitness of the legs, and core to be the most important, to give you the air you need. In the video, you see her sitting and see her legs in her jeans, and can see how toned they are, and in shape. You need to watch this at your leisure, but its worth the watch, and at the end, it was her birthday, and they brought her gifts, and being all giddy, she just blurts out in English like it is her first language...... kzread.info/dash/bejne/n4ZqxpKjmMurec4.html Here is another that has the end part of her gift opening, plus some extras afterword.... kzread.info/dash/bejne/mpWbvJNyhajPctY.html One more... same as the first, but in the beginning of this one, they are more clear as to her actual range.... kzread.info/dash/bejne/foulqsmHkqzaXZc.html

The translation is really good in my opinion. I think you can always use more eloquent words and phrases as you translate, but honestly this translation conveys the message really well. What is a bit strange is the English part of the song, it is as if they google translated it from English to Korean back to English. She has spent some time in LA, and her sister in law is a professional guitarist for DNCE (American band that had a hit "Cake by the Ocean"). She says she listened to so much American music and that music and language are similar in that more you listen to it more fluent you become. She credits her English speaking ability to listening to a lot of Mariah (along with other singers like Whitney and Celine) as a teenager. I am no SoHyang expert, but this is what I recall from watching her interviews on Korean TV. I actually agree with you about maybe still being a Christian if you knew people like her. I feel the same way. She has such warm, loving charisma and conviction that it is hard not to be moved by her. She also seems to have no prejudice and judgement that pushes me away from church. To me, she represents true image of love and kindness (again based on watching her interviews). This draws me towards her belief.

The English lyric is in the original song, which was released in 1979. The original artist is a legendary singer who was a part of all girl group in the 60s and 70s. They used to perform overseas in the US, UK, etc. They even performed with Bob Hope. Sohyang is an American drama fanatic. She self-taught English watching dramas and movies.

I knew that this was her arrangement of older song, and I know she didn't write the lyrics, but it is really odd version of the passage, quite differently from what you would find in say...

I also noticed that when Ailee sang this same song, she changed the English words a bit too different from SoHayng's version.

It is “okay” to cry if that is your reaction. Because I did. 😭

Actually, this song was made as a CCM. Many people who know this song don't recognize or know this. I haven't either until I heard the English part of the song. The writer wrote this song after he was inspired by the Bible passage Isaiah 41:10. "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." Sohyang is delivering this love of God for the people through this song. Hope this will help with understanding this performance more.

Hey Julia! I don't usually comment on videos that I watched but I truly love your reaction. If I may request, you should react to her performances on King of Masked Singer. Her techniques improved and her delivery in each performance was fantastic. For a start, I'd suggest "Breathe", "Hug Me" or "Mona Lisa". Mona Lisa is a killer!

She's got me feeling emotional on a Sunday morning. PS: I love how you wonder how she is not tired LOL. My thoughts exactly.

Julia, Thank you! As a big fan of Sohyang, it is great to see both knowledgeable and emotional reactions from you! I think the translation is pretty accurate. FYI, this song holds a special place in a lot of Korean's hearts. In 1979 when South Korea was still very poor, Yoon, Hyanggi composed the song and his sister, Yoon Bokhee sang the song in the Seoul International Song Festival and won the Grand Prize. The Yoon siblings grew up as orphans and were beggars in their childhood after the Korean war. So, this is a pretty inspirational story for a lot of older generations of Korea, myself included. Sohyang did such a great job on this iconic song!

You started this reaction composed and with the social mask firmly on, then with every successive note Sohyang just tore away every single one of those walls and revealed the true, emotional person underneath. That's honestly what got the sub from me.

Yes ! Sohyang ! She is the next level singer in this world. Thanks for your very nice reaction. From N.Y.

Don't worry Julia, we all feel the same. She's an ultimate tear jerker that actually ministering more than singing. Almost impossible to analyze or measure her performances by skills or techniques because since you start to pay attention to all she does on stage, you'll forgot everything, and ended up in tears, no matter how strong you think you are. Thank you for your lovely reaction, and congratulations for the new subscribers. Keep up the great work. Cheers^^

Thank you for reacting to Everyone. I really enjoy your reactions. This song really give me so many feeling and goosebumpsgasm. The way she conveyed the song... oh God, I feel like there's no limit to her. I hope you can continue to reacting to her perfornances. I would like to suggest Home (King of Masked Singers), Where Are You, Fate (KOMS), Bridge Over Troubled Water, Do You Know for another amazing performances. Monalisa and This Is My World if you are up for some rock songs. She also raps on Day Day. If some jazzy songs are your cup of tea, I would suggest Childish Adult (hints: duet) or Misty (fancam version and yes misty by Ella Fritzgerald)! She also sang a folk song Arirang Alone. Her own song Dream (DMC Festival) are insane and she sang it back to back with I Have Nothing (DMC Festival). Thank you once again! Trivia: before she performs on the stage, she would warming up to Whitney's songs for 30mins :D

Thank you for your great reaction, It was worth the time for waiting! FYI, Sohyang has never lived in foreign country, but she has learned english by herself watching disney movie and listening to pop music such as Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston in her childhood. This song(Everyone) is one of the Korean's favorite pop music sung by Yoon Bokhee, composed by her younger sister Yoon Hyangki. She said this song contains her faith for God. so this song is originally gospel pop music.

Yoon hang ki is her big brother..if it's based on her claim, actually this song's composer is yoon bok hee, herself.

As someone who watched her live once, I can agree one hundred percent. I cried so much. Her voice is 100000000% more powerful in person so I guarantee you wouldn't stop crying and having fun at the same time.

No, thank you for a wonderful beautiful reaction of the Singing Angel from above! And yes, the "FEELS" she gives everyone with her angelic voice! More please...stay safe

I love your reactions! I highly recommend you watch her Lean One Me, Bridge Over Troubled Water, and Arirang Alone from Immortal Song!!! I no clue about technique, but I just feel like her performances are different!! She is amazing!

Dear Julia, I am a fan of your Pre-Production Demos, but I am an even bigger fan of your heartfelt, insightful, and humorous reactions to Sohyang. You have enough comments suggesting which Sohyang videos to react to. I have listened to dozens of her videos and they are all worth listening to, for different reasons. You can't go wrong. It is obvious from your reactions you have fallen down the proverbial "rabbit hole" that is Sohyang's music. I will mention a few performers that you may, or may not, be familiar with. My list includes Morissette Amon (Pilippines), K Z Tandingan (Pilippines), ALi (South Korea), Ailee (South Korea), Tan Weiwei (China), and Angelina Jordan (Norway). Your reaction to "Everyone" stands out as my favorite reaction video of the hundreds, maybe thousands, I have seen. I love your "go to" phrase, "OKAY, OKAY." Your musical insights are a great blend of professional and personal. Please do not be offended, but I thought you almost had a little orgasm at one point in "Everyone." P.S. From all the interviews and short documentaries I have seen I surmise Sohyang is in fact tri-lingual, Korean (of course), English (he learned from movies and spent time in the U.S.), and French ( she studied French at university). Sincerely, Ruben

Virtuoso, soul healer. Best of the Best! OMG! Heavenly ascending vocals.진심으로 감사드립니다. Thank you, Sohyang Kim. You gave me strength for living, since 2015. CLL survivor remission may 2021. 김병준 4-12-1970. Priceless reactions Julia, soothes my soul over and over! Thank you.

Not long ago, I watched your channel when your subscribers were 100. And now already over 5000. I'm happy with the rapid growth of your channel..keep going on~

@@jvoxfox FYI....'여러분(everyone)' is used in many ways in Korea. literal translation means several people. It is often used to introduce like 'ladies and gentlemen' but '여러분(everyone)' is used here as mean 'you guys', meaning all of the audience. yeap this song's sub is nothing wrong..

이건 노래가 아니라 한편의 드라마를 보는거 같다... 표정에 감정이 다 실려있다..... 아.. 정말 사랑해요 소향.....

I truly believe you will never hear a better or more epic live performance.. Noone delivers a message better.. This is her mission and joy.. Fantastic reaction..

Absolutely everything about this girl (Julia) is awesome.

Sohyang sang this song so emotional. Her voice almost breaking in the speaking part ! I almost cry with her !

This is one of my favorite reactions. I have seen many people who come to analyze her performances turn into enraptured fans. I think you would enjoy watching her transform her audience into puddles of emotional goo. Here is a performance that is captivating as long as you ignore the poor decision of the broadcasting company (idiots) to interject an interview into the climax of the song. "Where Are You?" kzread.info/dash/bejne/eWip0Kybhrm1m9I.html (Make sure to pause often to avoid copyright claims)

I recommend Sohyang's "Where are you" in vimeo not in KZread. There is English translation in vimeo to better understand the message of the song. vimeo.com/254194327 Thank You.

Your reaction was so lovely that i subscribed~ for reference i am korean. ^^

A Sohyang performance is a whole musical

YOU GOTTA WATCH SOHYANG ARIANG ITS THE BEST OF THE BEST 💜💜💜💜💜

This song (여러분): In 1979, got the Grand prize at Seoul International Song Festival. sang by Yoon Bock-hee (77). I saw that moment on TV when I was young (11). I am so sad because Yoon is sick. I hope she gets better soon! (sorry my poor English)

I have no words for this!

The translated subtitle is quite correct. I'd say it's well translated.

When she sang You Raised Me Up, she had pneumonia. Her Dr. told her no talking or singing. But she didn't want to disappoint her fans.

no one else could sing this arrangement belt for 7 minutes its just like Dream at Dmc .no one

You speak very truthfully and beautifully.🤞💖 Thank you for reacting.😉 Queen Sohyang 👑😍

Loved your reaction! Mahalo! Aloha.

Great reaction. Please react to So Hyang’s performance of Bridge Over Troubled Water.

Thank you for the reaction~ Very emotional song....😭😭😭 Next song...dear love~~~^^

소향의 진가는 보컬트레이너들이 제일 잘암. Vocal trainers know the best about Sohyang.

Please react to i have nothing sohyang she out of this world please 💖💖💖💖💖💖😄

Even as a Korean fan of the winner for this run of the show the only part I will remember will be sohyang's performances. She's my favorite singer hands down.

It is my understanding that she is heavily involved in the production of each of her performance, so it is not just that she has tremendous vocal ability, but she can also deliver that one very important element of singing to the audience most others are not able to, and that is telling a story/message that is heart felt and believable. She is truly a incredible talent, one of the best, if not "the" best that I've seen in my lifetime.

❤ I just love your reactions ❤

Why your so beautiful even you cry😉😍

great, awesome, overwhelming. Queen sohyang!!!

I’m excited to see this!

Sohyang is the queen of singers and she is perfect. The best singing ability touches, comforts, and gives dreams and hopes.

Amazing reactions!

I love your reactions
