SOHYANG & POS

The Heavenly Diva performed at KBS hall for Open Concert today.
This concert was set suddenly.
Korea has a lot of dispersed families because of Korean War.
Years ago, KBS made TV programs for them to find their lost family members.
Thru this TV show, they find their long time lost people and those materials of the show became UNESCO world heritage.
Celebrating this, they made this episode of Open Concert and Of course SoHyang appeared at this special show.

SoHyang showed up in black long dress and she sang 잊지말아요(Please Don't Forget), sound track of TV drama Iris2, and her famous song 꿈(Dream).

She recorded 잊지말아요 years ago, but never performed this song before, and it was her first time to sing this song in public. At last part of the song, she eventually was about to cry, and she was embarrassed.
They played the video of dispersed families before her turn, and it finally made her cry.
Because the song is like ' 우리 서로 사랑했는데, 우리 이제 헤어지네요(We loved each other, but we are separated now..)
but she sang this song very beautifully and wonderfully.

Then she sang Dream. You know she rocks!!!!
Her voice itself is so much big and everybody has to focus on it.
Her last note of super headvoice is piercing everything!!

It seems to be broadcast on this upcoming sunday.

On 11th, there was Sumi Jo's concert for celebrating her new pop album release and She invited SoHyang to sing together the song 'In the Flower Garden', the title song of her album.

Sumi Jo introduced SoHyang saying she has great vocal volume and technique.
SoHyang came out in cobalt blue long dress with her bright vibe as always.
They sang the song together beautifully.

They raised hands together and people gave them big applause.
Sumi Jo said 'I saw her practicing before the concert.. you guys take a look' then disappeared.
And SoHyang alone sang 'Fate' perfectly.
Two perfect divas made a wonderful concert.

SoHyang is coming to New Jersey now.

In a long time, SoHyang showed herself at I Am A Singer legend.
They voted total 8 singers from all of the seasons for the concert.
And of course they called SoHyang, and in spite of a lot of schedules, she decided to attend.

SoHyang was 4th singer of the show.
She was introduced as 'The Heavenly Voice'.
She looks so beautiful with blue long dress.

SoHyang sang 'Dream' and 'I Have Nothing'.
It was outdoor concert in the night so they couldn't raised the sound volume much
and the musical setting was so poor, so other singers voices can't be heard loudly at some parts.
But SoHyang was different. When she sang the first part '가슴이 벅차 솟아오르네(My heart is overflowing)',
it was so big and heard so clearly. I could hear people heaved a sigh for her beautiful voice color at that moment right away.

She said she wasn't happy about her first appearance with I Have Nothing and she wanted to do it again.
So she sang this song again. More dramatic and emotional.
She was too nervous at her first appearance when she sang this song, but this time, she wasn't.
Surely she was shining. 

SoHyang was in Germany for concert in early September and she just came back for this concert.
So she hadn't time for rehearsal with band, nevertheless she was amazing!

It will broadcast at AM 9:50, 12th, Sep.

The heavenly Diva SoHyang performed at KBS1 Concert 7080 yesterday.
She sang three songs, 꽃밭에서(In The Flower Garden), 햇살이 입맞춤 하던 날(The Day When Sunshine Kissed Me) and I Have Nothing.
In spite of her a lot of schedules, she sounded amazing.
Especially she sang I Have Nothing so greatly. She sang a little differently with ad-lib.
It will broadcast at PM 11:45, 5th Sep, 2015.

So proud that Korea has these 2 Divas!!!
There was a concert for Korean Independence Day today.
World-famous opera singer Sumi Jo posted these photos with SoHyang via her facebook after the concert.
These two amazing divas sang 꽃밭에서(In The Flower Garden) together.
SoHyang also sang 'Fate' and 'Arirang Alone'.

Sumi Jo will have her concert on 11th Sep, 2015, and SoHyang will appear at her concert as a guest singer,
and they will duet the song again.

The Top Divas meet up!!
Korean best soprano Sumi Jo posted one photo with SoHyang via her twitter.

Sumi Jo wrote 'Working with SoHyang in the studio! She sings really well'.
Sumi Jo is the best soprano in Korea and she is really famous over the world.
Maybe she's working on new materials for her new album and their duet song will be included?
Let's see what it will be like :-)

The heavenly diva SoHyang appeared at Immortal Songs again.
The theme of the episode is Korean Folk Song and she sang '홀로 아리랑'(Arirang Alone)

She already won the episode of Michael Bolton singing 'Lean On Me' that Bolton praised SoHyang is virtuoso.
It was so western music, and Arirang is so oriental and korean music...
KBS kept asking for her one more appearance so SoHyang appeared again.
Since it was so oriental sound, her company didn't decide easily
but SoHyang decided to to because this song is about Dokdo Island no matter how she win or not.
(*Dokdo is the most eastern small island that belongs to Korea and Japan is still saying it belongs to japan and for korean people, it seems that Japan still want to invade to and steal Korean property...It's a kinda symbol of independent Korea... in this song, Dokdo is also related of Unity of South Korea and North Korea)

Sadly she was chosen first singer to perform.
Since it was Folk Song episode, there were no immortal singer like Michael Bolton to be introduced before the show. so they just had to start the show and people were NOT warmed up yet.

SoHyang just had to show up... but she made the perfect performance.
And she got 411. it's really really high score for first performer(even without warming up).
but she didn't become the final winner.

Anyway she made a huge impression.

Jo Kwan-Woo appeared with his father, Jo TongDal-human cultural assets of Korea and his son, a pianist.
He was also I Am A Singer performer, so he knew SoHyang is kinda super singer.
So he said 'SoHyang is difficult (to defeat).'

His father, Jo TongDal said SoHyang has a wonderful voice so he wants to scout her, if she did Korean traditional music only, She would be the world best. 

Song SoHee(who became the final winner of the episode) said that she did the same song before, and SoHyang did like 10 times...100 times.. so much better than her.

Yang DongGeun who is very close with SoHyang and has worked with her on a couple of songs said if a sick person hears her voice, he would get up right away.

Sunwoo, a popera singer, hit E6 during her performance, and MCs asked about that note to SoHyang because everybody knows SoHyang can hit really really high notes... but SoHyang said 'I don't think I can do that..' but she was like 'Was it this note?' and she just hit that note easily.. with her super head voice with big resonance.
MCs were like 'You were like I can do that, too!'. So hilarious..LOL

SoHyang will have a joint concert with opera singers on 24th.
She's not an opera singer, but she is a main singer with baritone Kim DongKyu.

The heavenly diva showed up at red carpet photo wall of Star!King.
Star!King is recording 400th episode today and they of course invited SoHyang!!
SoHyang appeared at several episodes of the show with big impact of her amazing voice.
She has sung many songs like 'Emotions', 'When You Believe', 'Fate', 'Endless Love', 'O Holy Night', 'Hero', 'Goose's Dream' and 'I Believe I Can Fly'.

I heard she was supposed to sing two songs 'Fate' and 'You Raise Me Up' today.
And One of two will be a duet performance with Kim Hyuk-Gun who overcome paralysis by car accident.

I think 400th Episode of the show will broadcast on 31st, this month.

Korean super diva, SoHyang sang 'All I Want For Christmas Is You' originally sung by Mariah Carey.
She performed this Christmas song and 'The Prayer' with Tenor Jung EuiGeun at KBS Open Concert.
It will broadcast on Dec 21st, 2014.

She will perform at another KBS Christmas Concert on 18th.
