Rick , you have gathered information as you have watched Sohyang, so let me summarize a couple of points: As you travel through the World of Sohyang, remember that she and her personal team do ALL of the arrangements (she arranges the music) for stage appearances (the staging for this performance won her an award). Several of the vocalists and musicians on stage here are semi-permanent members of her backup team (You will see them in other videos - they are superb). Of course, that IS Michael Bolton. This concert was in his honor and included only his hit songs. There were many Korean Superstars that performed in it - the camera glimpsed several of them. You've given us some great reactions. Keep going. She will continue to surprise you, so be sure to have your seat belt fastened. 😮 By the way in our attempts to pronounce her name, we usually settle on 'so h-yong'. Try it. Cheers.
소향이 십여년전에 부른 노래입니다 지금은 훨씬 강하고 부드럽고 부르는 노래마다 감동을 주고있으며 그녀의 신곡 Til you love me again 반응해보시기 바랍니다 소향은 50여가지의 음악을 할수있다보니 이번신곡이 팝 발라드곡이며 공간에서 속삭이듯 감정을 아우르는듯한 절제미가 예술입니다 한번 들어보시기 바랍니다 그녀의 노래에 반응해주셔서 감사합니다 ^-^❤❤❤
Michael Bolton saw this performance and called it "virtuoso performance" and invited her to his concert in Korea for a duet. and they sung "prayer" & "lean on me" PS. This stage was won the 'Best TV show award' at the Banff International Media Festival. If you want to pronounce her name correctly, please watch the linked video below. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4sdbO-hTZbk.html

Sohyang has said in an interview that this 2014 performance before Michael Bolton was the most pleasing to her personally up to that point in her career because Michael Bolton is one of her absolutely favourite singers, and because he was so effusive in his praise for her she was satisfied that she and her team could produce similarly world class songs and performances. And hey, Michael Bolton told her she was a vocal "virtuoso" after the concert and invited her to join him for the rest of his South Korean tour. How do you beat that? Well, Michael Bolton can offer to take you on an entirely new world tour making you the featured guest--and that is _exactly_ what he did! Unfortunately, or not, the two could not make their schedules match no matter how hard they tried and the tour never materialized. This was actually fairly depressing for Sohyang because she really wanted to go BIG TIME in the music business at that exact moment but everything seemed to conspire against her. Pneumonia problems would crop up and this has been a chronic problem for Sohyang. She would later recognize this as God's way of preventing her from getting caught up in the North American and European music industry that would have been destructive to her character at that time. Sohyang is humble enough and courageous enough to confess she had become so ambitious that she was an ugly person, short tempered with other people and not treating them with proper respect. I know, my jaw hit the floor when I read the interview too! Sohyang a _mean person?_ Say it ain't so! But we all have times where we are embarrassed at how we behaved and Sohyang is just a human being, like the rest of us. Two years later in 2016 Sohyang was almost ready to quit the entire music business because her health problems were so bad. Yet she had given her truly immortal performances of "Bridge Over Troubled Water," "Arirang Alone," "Everyone" and "I Have Nothing" only the previous year in 2015, and "The Prayer" and "Power Of Love" in 2014--songs _any_ diva who has ever walked the earth would _kill_ to have in their repertoire! So she plundered her bank account and took a trip to New York, Boston and Philadelphia. In the latter city Sohyang saw a quote from President Franklin Roosevelt where he had said in his inaugural address during the Great Depression of the 1930s that "We have nothing to fear but fear itself." This proved so inspirational for her that when she got back to South Korea she entered the "King of the Masked Singers" contest in 2017 and won it on six consecutive occasions! Still the pneumonia dogged her so badly she knew it was God's way of telling her she had to reassess why she had become a singer in the first place. And that was to sing to lift people's spirits who were going through hard times. In 2018 David Foster himself did eight concerts with her at Tokyo's Blue Note Club and it is thought he offered to be the producer for new recordings of her. But she had been really reconsidering her purpose in life and decided the Hollywood lifestyle was the last thing she truly wanted, and in 2020 she turned down a contract offer from Sony Music US, _the 2nd largest music corporation in the world!_ And there were many others before that going back a decade or so! Since then Sohyang has been resolute in her decision to stay away from the music "industry" and manage her own career for the purposes she had started it all with. I for one can't express how happy I am she has chosen the path she did because she is one of the most inspirational people I have ever come across in my entire life, and I know countless others feel exactly the same way. 👌😉💖💖💖 And here is what Michael Bolton told Sohyang after this performance. To say she bowled him over is an understatement! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vgXcO88ctVs.html

This was from a Michael Bolton special in S. Korea. Six popular S. Korean artists were invited to compete and each was required to perform a Michael Bolton song. SoHyang won hands down Michael Bolton was so impressed that he invited her to tour with him! SoHyang ( So- young ) is such a beautiful person inside and out. I enjoyed this reaction.
Lean on me - Sohyang and Michael Bolton (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Mrpe8WZ5cXA.html) Lean on me - Sohyang and Kirk Franklin (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Xi46hDvBdzs.html) recommend them all :)
