VOCAL SINGE REACTS TO SO HYANG "ARIRANG ALONE" REACTION | Asia and BJ 

Her dress was a gorgeous hanbok, traditional Korean clothing and this song was written by a man whose family was torn between the North and the South and longed for them to be reunited. This is a very emotional song for Koreans.

probably her best performance.

Perfection!!! Sohyang is an elite level vocalist. Thank you for the reaction.

*Arirang* is the most beloved Korean folk song. It’s believed to be first sung over 600 years ago and passed down from generation to generation. No one knows the exact meaning of Arirang but it embodies the spirit of the people of Korea for centuries (first sung 600 years ago). Arirang represents the suffering and tribulation (Arirang 'Hill') overcome as people and the nation. If we’re together as one holding hands, we can make it over the hill. *Arirang Alone* is a modern adaptation (released in 1990) of the original song written in the hope of reunification of Koreas. It’s a song of hope and peace. It tells a hopeful fantasy of the Island of Dokdo floating in the East Sea all alone singing Arirang. If Dokdo sang Arirang, alone in the Eat Sea, would North and South reunite? Dokdo is islets centrally located between Mount Baekdu (in the northern border of North Korea) and Mount Halla (on Jeju Island, South Korea). Let’s ride a boat together from Baekdu and Halla. When we dock our boats at Dokdo, we’ll witness new dawn together. The songwriter’s parents had to leave two sons and a daughter in North Korea during the Korean war. His father’s dying wish to him was “when Korea reunites, go find your older brothers and sister and tell them that their parents did not abandon them”.

Sohyang is a miracle.

I can't escape from her because she's always more than I thought.🥺 She is phenomenal. Thank you for reaction.🙋‍♂️

This is definitely one of my favorites by her. Please watch “you raise me up” by her.

This stage of "Arirang Alone" by Sohyang is a prime example on how music can transcend the barriers of language, culture or nationality. It speaks so loudly when one can become so mesmerized and enchanted by Sohyang's performance here without understanding a word of it. Your reaction demonstrated this point so keenly. Sohyang is a whole package without a snippet of doubt. Thanks for the great reaction.

Adore Sohyang!

Thank you for the reaction. Beautiful and powerful voice~😇🥰😍👑

Amaz reaction (real talk)! Yass “Queen of Gb5” - THX’s yawl was very happy 2C ur notification 2day w/ SoHyang! 💗2U

Big shout out to Sue Sun on violin, and glad you pointed out her contribution. These two women are gorgeous onstage, and the song was spectacular. The last 2 lines always bring tears to my eyes.

Love your reactions to SoHyang. She’s simply the best.

These are the two world class singers, Dimash & So Hyang that keeps lingering in my mind wherever I go. Please react to So Hyang “Breathe” & “where are you”.

Gracias por reaccionar a Sohyang su voz es un regalo de Dios ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

thanks guys

While her "epic" performances like this one are incredibly impressive. I find her stripped-down, busking appearances on 'Begin Again: Korea' to be even more emotionally impactful. From English covers of 'I Will Always Love You' and 'If I Ain't Got You' to Korean songs 'Stay' and 'Love Poem'. Her ability to sing so beautifully and delicately melts my soul.

Korean singer. Welcome to the world Sohyang

I'm surprised you guys haven't done her stripped down performance of, "I Will Always Love you" by her yet!

감사합니다 김소향노래 방송해주셔서요🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍 대한민국 전통음악 홀로아리랑 🇰🇷🇰🇷🇰🇷

Finally you watched Arirang !!! Wow I really liked that you were so into it you could not pause it much to talk haha. I am glad I subscribed to see that you reacted to this ! Thank you for the reaction, have a great week both of you Asia and BJ!

Amazing Queen Sohyang 👸 💖 🤪👍

This song is estimated to be 600 years old. It is used as the national anthem for both Koreas, when they present themselves as one country. Sohyang is dressed in traditional Hanbok to emphasize Korean cultural traditions.

GOOD!!!

Awesome reaction guys! Good job!

So Hyang ✨✨✨❤️✨✨✨

Angel Sohyang♥

Thanks for this nice video, I love this song because it is a Korean fork song express the deep emotion and this great signer.

Watching y’all videos again. All of them for the Queen Sohyang. Hoping you continue the journey of her flexibility with jazz, rock, & rap. And even more Whitney, Celine, and Alicia Keys covers. I know it’s tough with the copyright strikes but it seems there’s lot of ways around it.

Pleaaase react more to SoHyang !

You know she damn good, when it stirs emotion even though you don't know the words of the song.

I really want you to react to Sohyang's Dream (DMC Festival) one of her underrated performance

퀸 소향~

I love your intro 🥰

김 소향 Simply the Best.

please react So Hyang - Lean On Me (immortal song 2). It's just amazing.

If you want to listen to something different, check these out. - Where Are You => A gut-wrenching, hauntingly beautiful love ballad that builds and builds toward the most incredible climax. - Childish Adult => A rare duet song in the 30s swing jazz style, straight from a Chicago jazz club. - Misty (from Begin Again Korea)=> Asia, you would appreciate SoHyang's interpretation of this jazz classic. Ella Fitzerald would be proud. - Mona Lisa (from Masked Singer)=> So Hyang as a Rocker. She even wears a leather jacket (pink!) and matching biker gloves.

Asia has a smile that can light up your day!!

😍😍😍💕

Nice Reactions ^~^♡ Her voice is art itself :)

Unfortunately I can’t watch this video yet because I’m cooking up here in Philly...white wine garlic shrimp with capellini if y’all are hungry. Just wanted to take the time to say you guys are a beautiful couple and beautiful people. I’m just an old Italian guy and I’m disabled so I don’t get out much but y’all make me feel like I got company at my house. So a big Philly Italian thank you for the vids. Prayers for continued success. God Bless you both! ✌️

Guys, Please react sohyang- monalisa, hug me, breathe and home, king mask singer show👏👐She is amazing

I'll bet you two suddenly discovered that you are _at least_ part Korean after listening to this! Ha, ha, ha! 😎😎😎💖💖💖 I think we all are, including your dog, by the bark he let out! And though So Hyang is less than 5' 4" tall and probably not even 100 pounds, she sings like Godzilla and King Kong combined!

Asia is so beautiful 😍

This performance gets me every time. That crescendo in the middle is blisteringly beautiful, I well up no matter what mood I’m in.

Please react to Sohyang - Everyone, her hardest song

Lean on me by So Hyang 👈🏻you need it

Ex-Amor below suggested 4 performances.; among them I suggest the following because they are in different genres: "Misty" and "Mona Lisa " from the Masked Singer (rock song!). Be aware that KBS performances are often blocked and people have gotten copyright strikes. I also recommend "You Raise Me Up" (Josh Groban). Shane Filan (one of the lead singers of the boy band Westlife that performs this song) is in the audience and gives her a standing ovation.

Thank You both for sharing with us:-)) Your interaction between the two of you , and your positivity is refreshing and pulls us in! Thank You and thank you for reacting to this Earth bound Angel, SoHyang! She captivated me a little over Eight years ago, and it has been a joyous journey, discovering her music , her message and who she is! I am not suggesting a song or play but a short three part interview with English subtitles, that tells about her life and shows you the real SoHyang. I believe it well worth the watch( each part a little over 15 minutes! Tells of here health problems( discovery and fight with cancer, hep. And having pneumonia 8 times over about a five year period and why she seriously considered not singing any more) some of her best Performances like, You Raise Me Up, she sang against Doctors advice because of Pneumonia. SoHyang was recovering from a bout of pneumonia and against medical advice she sang this Masterpiece! (Because someone out in that crowd, might need to hear the message in this song!) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-te_L9ofhUt8.html Family, give insight into why three times she has turned down big record Companies and her relationship with God ! She has kept her Dreams( her nick name amongst close friends and Family is, Dreamer) Sorry I am rambling ! Here are the 3 parts! Thank You! SoHyang’s life Part 1-2-3 Part #1 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9N9aiEol02w.html Part#2 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-T8r1e-WEDvA.html Part#3 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jwAyhShBtWw.html

리액션 고맙습니다 🙏

Hello Asia and BJ

Please react "Amazing Grace" by Sohyang.

next... So Hyang - Everyone

So Hyang got a voice to evoke a deep emotion from her audience. it goes beyond her vocal skills.

Adding the Mariah-Carey-style runs extremely sparingly with an overall more controlled and emotionally real Lara Fabian expression, and a stage presence like a metal queen, pretty much makes this her best performance. The deep sincerity of the song and the pain of North Korea trapped by no fault of its own people, all come through here.

Queen angel. Next Upon this rock.2022. Home. fate . thanks

please react to "Lean on me " by sohyang ...

한민족의 아리랑~~~~

I believe that in order to get a better idea of what this song is about, it is necessary to listen to the versions that are probably closer to the probable original. I think the North Korean version - except for the last stanza that has apparently been added to promote propagandistic aims - is truer to the original. Based on my own independent study of Korean language and history its vocabulary is largely based on Hebrew, Akkadian, and Geez, a language that has a similar relationship to Tigrinya (a northern Ethiopian language) as Latin does to Italian. All of these languages are classified as Hamito-Semitic or Afro-Asiatic languages, although it seems many Koreans probably don't have enough respect for Africa to consider the evidence that would support the belief Korean is one of these Hamito-Semitic languages. Recently, there has been some research to show that Korean has many similarities to "Sumerian" which is closely linked to Akkadian. I believe this song is probably much much older than the 600+ years that has been mentioned, and its author has apparently inserted Hebrew words in a coded way to remind Koreans of their spiritual roots. If you look at a translation of the North Korean version, it becomes more obvious. It seems that this Korean folk song has concatenated many Hebraic words in order to preserve a Messianic message for future generations. I believe the original lyrics of the chorus were Ariel, Ariel, Ari, Ariel - or alternatively Avraham, Avraham, Ari Ariel. Ari means "lion" in Hebrew, and Ariel is the ancient name for Tsiyyon ("Zion"), which is the holy mountain in the Bible, and one that is important in Biblical prophecy. The fact that Ariel, which apparently later morphed to "Arirang", was originally intended as the destination appears likely, because some versions use the preposition meaning "to" rather than "over" after the phrase "Arirang hill" (Korean 아리람 고개로), so this would mean that Arirang hill is not just an obstacle to overcome on the way, but rather the final destination. The allusions to rest appear to be references to the sabbaths that must be observed on the way there, since it is several thousand miles from Korea to the holy mountain. In the version sung in North Korea, there is a reference to a few Biblical narratives. One phrase says 10 "ri" (which would be equivalent to about 4 km, since almost 400 meters is equivalent to one "ri" - but in Korean, "ri" also refers to an administrative district such as a village) would not be reached before there would be a disabling foot ailment. (Apparently 1 "ri" is equivalent to 700-1000 paces, depending on whether one is carrying a load or whether one is an adult or child.) This is apparently very rich in symbolism of various kinds. I believe there are a few important Biblical themes being symbolised here. First is the prophecy found in Genesis 3 that the seed of the woman would crush the serpent's head while the latter bites the former's heel. Most Biblical scholars acknowledge that this is a prophecy about the Messiah (who as offspring conceived within a virgin is her seed) and most Christians believe the reference to the serpent's biting the Messiah's heel is a reference to the crucifixion. If one reads Matthew 10, where Yeshua commissions his 12 apostles to evangelise the 10 houses of Israel, who at this point were scattered around the world, it becomes clear why this song is saying that not all 10 districts would be reached before the foot injury occurs. A secondary referent of the symbolism seems to be Baal-Peor, which is represented by the Korean word "Baal-byeong"; although "byeong" means ailment or disease, I believe it came to mean this as it was borrowed from this name of a place where there was an altar set up for Baal; and in fact, the people who were sexually seduced into into idolatrous worship of Baal at Peor were struck with plagues. It was also the fact that Israel never managed to rid herself of Baal worship that became the reason YHVH allowed her to be conquered by her enemies and thereby scattered among the nations. The word "shibri" actually is the masculine form of the number "seven" in Hebrew; so the fact that a Hebrew word like that appears in a Korean folk song in such a context seems significant. Also the word "radah" means "enlarge" or expand, so the combination of "ri" and "do" appearing in juxtaposed fashion appears significant as well. The next concatenated Hebrew words seem to be the Hebrew word "chomot", which means "wall"; "mot", which means "established" (in Ge'ez, "mot" means "death", probably because sacrifice was a way of establishing or ratifying covenants); "azab", which means to "restore" or "repair"; and "aseh", which means "make" or "do". In essence, the song seems to suggest that the Messiah was ordained to die as a propitiatory death for the sins of the children of Israel before reaching the 10 lost houses of Israel (and Yeshua died after 4000 thousand years of human history (of which 6000 is ordained before the return of the Messiah, based on James Ussher's analysis); and a double meaning is that before 7000 thousand years are reached, we will be restored and be able to worship again at Tsiyyon. Interestingly, there if you read the conclusion of Kant's famous work "Critique of Practical Reason", it makes reference to the same glorious promise that this Korean song makes reference to. According to Kant: "Two things fill the mind with ever new and increasing wonder [Bewunderung] and reverence, the more often and more steadily one reflects on them: the starry heavens above me and the moral law within me. I do not need to search for them and merely conjecture them as though they were veiled in obscurity or in the transcendent region beyond my horizon; I see them before me and connect them immediately with the consciousness of my existence” (Critique of Practical Reason, 5: 161)." According to the versions of Arirang that were probably earliest, "As the heavens are replete with many stars, in my heart are many dreams". I believe both are referring to the promise made to Abraham: "“By Myself I have sworn, declares the LORD, because you have done this thing and have not withheld your son, your only son, indeed I will greatly bless you, and I will greatly multiply your seed as the stars of the heavens and as the sand, which is on the seashore; and your seed shall possess the gate of their enemies. And in your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice.” (Genesis 22:16-18).
