The Heavenly Voice, SoHyang performed at KBS hall for Open Concert today. She sang two songs 'Power of Love' and '하늘을 달리다(Running to the Sky)'.
She was wonderfully perfect as always!!! People really loved her and the show hostess, Soo-Kyeong Hwang was amazed by her, too :-)
It will broadcast on 31st August.
SoHyang will perform at Kirk Franklin's concerts in Seoul on 27th and 28th. Almost people don't know this... but, She will sing one English song that she has never performed so far. I can't tell you what song it is, but you'll be glad that she sang this beautiful song there :-)
Last Saturday, There was a big charity concert in one korean church. A lot of famous singers performed... including Jinho Kim of SG Wannabe(Original singer of 살다가) and Hwayobi, Korean famous female singer...
SoHyang was final singer for the concert and she was incredible. Yes, she was the terminator really. Beyond amazing. She was the only singer who received encore request twice.
Her voice condition was perfect and...I just don't know what to say. You can watch videos but trust me, she sounded so much better in person. Videos always cannot catch her true voice...
I have seen her singing in person so many times, but this concert was one of the bestest.
Actually the session was really great, original sessions of I Am A Singer came, big choir and orchestra came, too. Because of this big musical session, many singer's voices were not heard well in some parts. But SoHyang's voice pierced all of the sounds and everybody could hear her strong and beautiful voice clearly all the time.
She sang 'Falling in Love' with G.Brown for the first time.
When she finished 'Running to the sky', people started shouting 'Encore!' Even though she didn't say it was the final song. Maybe people just didn't want to miss her. LOL
Anyway, she sang her final song 'Until the Lord comes back'. Then, People started shouting encore again..
So She came back and sang 'Amazing Grace' acapella. She hit D#6 at final part of the song.
She was the terminator of this concert.
I'm so happy about this concert!!!
Her track list.
1.Falling in Love (with G.Brown) for the first time!!
Recently SoHyang received some letters from her international fans via one Korean fan. She really loved them and she was so happy about them. She said she will keep them forever. She laughed so much while she was reading. She also said she wants to meet them sometime.
She also performed two songs 'You Raise Me Up' & 'Dream' at KBS Open Concert last week. While she was singing 'Dream', She hit C6 by her mixed voice. She hadn't done it for a while cause she had another version of this song since I Am A Singer. But she did it this time though it was basically I Am A Singer version. It will broadcast on 20th July.
The vocal terminator, SoHyang went to press interview about Kirk Franklin on May 28th. Kirk Franklin will visit Korea for his concerts and SoHyang will perform at his concert as a guest singer.
At this interview, SoHyang said she is a big fan of Kirk Franklin and she repeated almost every song of him. She also said his song 'Revolution' is like revolution of gospel music and she wanted to make him as her model. People may think gospel music is boring, but she was surprised by his music like 'Gospel music can be made this way'. She added she is so grateful that she can be a part of his concert this time. She recommended several songs of Kirk Franklin, 'Hosanna', 'Brighter Day' and 'Lean On Me'.
Kirk Franklin's concerts in Seoul will be 27th and 28th June.
Korean famous producer, Joo Yeong-Hoon tweeted SoHyang's Photo today, And online newspapers made so many news articles about this. Many of them made good comments about her beautiful face of this photo :-)
With this photo, Joo Yeong-Hoon tweeted 'The true terminator of Vocal, and songs of SoHyang gives me chills'. 종결자(Terminator) is a kind of korean internet slang, so I don't know terminator is right expression in English. Anyway it means she is the top or best.
He described her as 'The best female singer' before.
They recorded one song, called '비의 랩소디(Rhapsody of Rain)', a big hit song of Choi Jae-Hoon, which originally was released in 2000, and Joo Yeong-Hoon made this song and now SoHyang recorded this song for his 20th anniversary album. This song will be released tomorrow, 27th.
The Korean Mariah Carey, Sohyang and I Am A Singer2 winner singer, The One sang at one korean church in Buenos Aires, Argentina. I don't know the details, I just saw several photos of her on stage and backstage. SoHyang and The One preached and sang in the church.
Korean singers, Lee Yeong-hyun(Who appeared at I Am A Singer and also parted 'Mermaid' Diva Project), and The Monsters were in this Church together. but it seems they didn't perform.
SoHyang will have a concert at Luna Park with The One, 4Men on 10th March!
Extremely talented Korean gospel diva, writer, actress, Sohyang finally finished her long-time musical tour of Sound Of Music which was sustained for several months in 4 cities Daegu, Busan, Seoul and Chuncheon. And it's all over now!
Sohyang described herself 'very similar' with Maria, her musical role and she really did amazing job! Her voice was perfect and her motions and act were lovely.
Sohyang also knew people want super high note from her, so musical team changed her version of Do-Re-Mi song a little to show her super high note which was so amazing.
During the tour, I and a few people had a nice chance to meet her personally at waiting room. We had a nice time for 15~20 minutes. She gave her autographs on her books, phone or photos whatever we wanted. And we could take some photos with her together. She was so kind and humble...of course beautiful :-)
Soon, she will go to New-York again for her upcoming album. whether Her solo album or Pos album... not known yet.
She also released her second book 'Ghosts of Kardon' of Crystal Castle series, her own fantasy novel based on 'John's Revelation'. I love this book so much and I wish this book will be translated into English someday.
Sohyang, known as korean super diva, writer and musical actress, recently has had a lot of interviews about her musical debut and her new book 'Crystal Castle'. Today I read one more interview of her.
She had had a lot of offers from various musical show since she appeared of 'I Am A Singer2', big competition show among Korean legendary singers, but she had rejected all because she didn't like the role. but she had always wanted to play 'Maria' role of Sound Of Music. She said she watched the original movie like one hundred time, and her real personality is very similar with Maria from the movie. So, when she received the love call from Sound of Music, she said yes!
But she hadn't played musical show before, so she had to practice so hard for 3 months. During her practice, she wanted to quit, cause it was so difficult and she wasn't sure if she would make it. But when she played the show on the stage for the first time, she recalls it was really fun and she also said she will never forget the first day of the show.
Now she finished Daegu and Busan tour and she will continue this tour in Seoul in several days. As soon as she finish this musical tour, she will go to New York to work on her new album. It seems like more for mainstream music, not just CCM. She also said she can't be sure cause she doesn't know when this album work will be finished, but she wants to try another musical show if the role is bright and gives hope to people. if she has a chance, she wants to play the role of 'Mary' of Jesus Christ Superstar.
Sohyang appeared on korean big TV show, Star!King.
She used to sing some songs at this show before. Star!king people love Sohyang so much so they invite her sometimes. At her first appearance she sang 3 song including Mariah Carey's Emotions and later she also performed 'When you believe' with Charice Pempengco.
Today, Sohyang appeared and sang two songs 'O Holy Night' and 'Goose's dream(거위의 꿈)'.
Today, Les Petits Chanteurs A La Croix de Bois appered on the show,
and She sang 'O holy night" in front of them. When she finished the song, they started clapping for her. And one boy of choir said she has a very beautiful voice. And Hodong Kang, the show host and other guests were very surprised by her beautiful voice, too.
Then she sang "Goose's dream" with Les Petits Chanteurs A La Croix de Bois.
She was so beautiful and her voice was fantastic! She is doing her first musical "Sound Of Music", so I thought she must be very tired, but her voice was amazing!!
By the way, her musical Daegu tour will be finished tomorrow, then she will do it in Busan, soon!
